In Creve Coeur, Missouri

When questioning the murdered man's wife, the detectives seemed sympathetic in terms of their expressions. They appeared concerned and their hardened expressions softened. The woman was shown sobbing and had bloodshot eyes. Tears were rolling down her face and her beauty was a stark contrast with the ugliness of the previously-depicted crime scene and the faded trench coats of the detectives. She

The neighbour remembers that the mother informed her that her, “child smacks his cheeks on the floor” (15) yet he does not look clumsy. It is not possible for both cheeks to be hit on the floor at the same time while falling on the floor therefore the mother is lying. It represents her dishonest and how she would neglect her child to fabricate a suitable image of herself and family in front of others to protect her reputation. Not to mention, the mother veils her son’s burns by stating, “sparks burn starts in his skin” (22). Sparks cannot burn star shapes into skin and it shows the destruction of a vulnerable life. The abuse does not benefit anyone and will influence the child emotionally and physically yet she is not doing anything to support him. Moreover, things are not always the way they seem, which is proven through, “the cast that holds his small bones” (24-25). The injuries that the mother utilizes to conceal the abuse would not break his bones, but damage his skin. The mother does not give her child the proper care to heal from the abuse nor does she show concern. The description portrays his weakness and innocence because he does not deserve it yet other children are supported by their kinds mothers. His mother chooses to act as if there is everything is perfect and ignores her child and mistake of abusing

In fact the society make it very dangerous for every fireman, traffic is a major hazard, highways, social media and their lack of sleep. This show an everyday the situation of a fireman because it 's been argued that the schedules in the fire department does not fit to the distance that they need to travel from home to work. In that regard, social media is becoming an hinderance when they get film and goes viral to the point that the firefighters personal privacy is exposed in the internet. Firefighters have been exposed more than usual when they are on duty, working or even just being out their work. While exploring into their field they seemed frustrate when every person that use the media to laugh at them when they try to

Also included within the story itself are pictures of her life before and after, as well as, pictures of her children, the backyard prison, and journal entries she wrote herself while held captive. These add greatly to her ethos and credibility but also appeal largely to the reader’s emotions. They make the story that much more relatable. This is an absolutely gripping and emotionally heart wrenching story done in a perfect way.

In his article "New West, Old Story," Timothy Egan discusses the death of several young firefighters, known as the Hotshots, who died in a large brush fire protecting property and he asks, “what did they die for?" He compares them to the firefighters who died in the aftermath of the terror attack on September 11th 2001, highlighting how the September 11th firefighters died saving lives while the Hotshots died protecting property. He goes on to tell of how in the moment most people are frustrated with firefighters for not going fast enough. He follows later by quoting a homeowner who praises the men that saved her home. Overall, he analyzes the situation and leaves his audience with a view swayed by deployment of rhetorical devices.

Her eyes were blinded by the sight of the lightning. Margot stepped slowly out of the closet. She looked at all of her so called “friends” thinking of why they did this to her. She thought, “What did I do to them to deserve this?” She had never shoved their faces in the dirt, or stolen their lunches, she had never spoken a word to anyone. Maybe that was the problem? She cared for the other children even though, they were not as intelligent or self-assured as she was. She didn’t degrade them for this, in fact, she wanted to be like them. Margot hated every part of being different. She wanted to forget the sun that she used to see and be like the children.

One night in the winter, Miss Maudie’s house caught fire. The Abbottsville fire truck was pumping water and the fire awoke the whole town. “In the heat between our house, Miss Rachel’s and Miss Maudie’s, the men had long ago shed coats and bathrobes. They worked in pajama tops and nightshirts stuffed into their pants…” (Lee 80) The neighbors definitely show compassion in this part of the story. The neighbors definitely show compassion in this part of the story. Although it was late at night and frigid outside, the neighbors still jumped out of bed to help. Instead of standing outside watching her house burn down and being pitiful, they jumped right in the house to help her out. They didn’t need be friends with her or have knowledge of her well enough just to help her. No one needed to climb out of their beds to help, yett they chose to, because it was the right thing to do and they were neighbors and that’s what neighbors

The author talks about her experience in foster care and how it was a blur of colors. She expresses her emotions by saying she was swearing with rage and colors, which truly shows the expression of emotions which can inspire others to want to read more about how emotions can play a big role in memoirs. “So I called 911. It wasn’t the first time, but this time was different.” Things have maybe gone to an extreme level and she knew she had to do the right thing. This experience in this story, can inspire others to stand up for what they think might be right whether it can be scary or not. In the end of the story she has been placed somewhere, probably another foster home, and she said the colors she felt that she used to see have now become darkness because she now knows the real reason for what “placed” meant. I believe that this can inspire others to know that things aren’t always gonna be good, but even when a person sees things getting bad, that they should know that, there’s always gonna be a brighter side to

This chapter is important because people don’t realize “they live in homes and communities from which no escape seems financially possible.” (pg. 303) This situation makes it harder for there to be change since they have nowhere to go. Warren also mentions the rate of cancer seen in people and it effects to their health condition, having a high increase of death. This knowledge opens the reader eyes to understand what the victims faces everyday and how justice should be made.

What is your interpretation of the photograph? My interpretation of this picture would be that the EMT’s and Armed forces are there to rescue an elderly sick man. They were there to do a job and discovered Mr. Hollingsworth to rescue him. Their faces look like they were trying to do everything they could to help him as much as possible. The first review spoke about how owners of nursing homes were charged because of patient’s deaths. Looking at the picture, there were no one around other than those willing to help Mr. Hollingsworth and he was left for dead. I’m glad nurses and owners were charged. The second review perceives the photo as “iconic.” I wouldn’t agree with the word iconic, only because they are there doing their jobs. They are Heroes saving people’s lives not just Mr. Hollingsworth and it isn’t only his story that should be heard as there were many lives affected. The third review I can see how they would say this symbolizes Jesus, because Jesus being crucified, His body lay lifeless and you can compare that to how Mr. Hollingsworth is in the photo. The fourth review is trying to stir tension point blank. It has nothing to do with color but rather men and women trying to save a life in this photo. Last review, I can say sometimes rules are meant to be broken and I am glad that the rescuers took the liberty to save as many and potential lives as they

It is pretty strange when Tretheway has not been ridden out the storm at that time, yet her ability to extend that empathy to the local residents is undeniable. Thetheway refacts all the deaths and “bodies washed away” (65) through the lens of witnesses – her family and the whole community – with emotional depth and

“Many people on the street were killed almost instantly. The fingertips of those dead bodies caught fire and the fire gradually spread over their entire bodies from their fingers. A light gray liquid dripped down their hands, scorching their fingers. I was so shocked to know that fingers and bodies could be burned and deformed like that. I just couldn’t believe it. It was horrible. And looking at it, it was more than painful for me to think how the fingers were burned, hands and fingers that would hold babies or turn pages, they just, they just burned away. For a few years after the A-bomb was dropped, I was terribly afraid of fire. I wasn’t even able to get close to fire because all my senses remembered how fearful and horrible the fire was,

This arising tone of regret and distance is also formed by the speaker’s depiction of his father having “cracked hands that ached,” (1. 3) which further signifies the father’s struggle with the severe coldness. The concept of self-sacrifice is apparent in this portrayal of his father’s disregard to his own pain in order to provide warmth and light for his family’s home. The stirring of “banked fires blaze” (1. 5) within the house,

She was not upset the day her brother died, and felt no guilt for her feelings about him. "I was sad for them [her family] rather than over any loss of mine, because my brother had become a stranger to me. I was not sorry that he had died, but I was sorry for him because, according to his standards, his life had been thoroughly worth living" (p. 55-56).
