Analysis Of Rikki's 'Run And Find Out'

Part Four: What does this quotation mean? Why is it significant? How does it connect to an emerging theme of the novel? What is the impact of this passage on the reader?

On average, 1 person commits suicide every 16.2 minutes(Do Something). The song 1-800 by Logic sets a scene of a boy who goes through life and struggles with being gay, bullied, and suicidal thoughts. Which leads to a call to the 1-800 suicide hotline. The video takes a turn and ends happily with the main actor being married and surrounded by family and friends. The main point that this song displays is that suicide is a real problem and it portrays that through stressing the importance of accepting everyone. My main points in this paper are the content of the video, the sound and pace, how this piece affects today’s society, what modes of persuasion are used.

The tension that Steinbeck creates in chapter six is very prominent; there are moments of peace and moments of despair. The first case in which Steinbeck creates tension is at the very beginning of the first chapter where the reader can hear peace. It is only after reading chapter six that the reader on hindsight can compare the peacefulness in the first chapter to the tension in the last chapter, this creates tension as the reader is now well aware that one of Steinbeck’s narrative techniques is that the movement goes from harmony to discord. Steinbeck also uses pathetic fallacy, figurative and colloquial language to build the tension in the readers mind.

The passage I selected may not be the most exciting but I found it was the most important. It occurs after Dr Ainslie had just finished operating on Alan for a severe case a appendicitis. He leaves the hospital and rushes down to the warf not thinking where he is going because there are so many thoughts rushing through his head. “She’ll never let me!” he heard himself cry out once, and recognized that “she” was Margaret, cool, detached, sensible, devoid of all trace of wild Highland imagination. Again he saw Mollie leaning over the sick Alan in the miner’s cottage, and the three figures began to blur and come apart again. He tried to hold on and keep them separated long enough to understand what had happened to him this night, but it had happened

2. This quote is important because it foreshadows the uprising of the oppressed against the master class.

The quote “Yet I am one of the lucky ones,” stood out to me the most. After being treated awfully, Cofer can still think herself as a lucky one. She explains education provides her strong weapon

Tom Tykwer 1998 film, Run Lola Run and street art ‘I love you’ by Banksy both explore distinctively visual elements though various film techniques and visual techniques. The two texts aim to manipulate the way in which we explore and interpret the images we are exposed to in our world. One main reason these pieces interrelate is because both texts utilise various techniques in order to create distinctively visual elements which explores the basic aspects of life-love, time and chance. Banksy’s street art, ‘I love you’ expresses the notion that there is a time restraint on love, this is similar to how Tykwer conveys the importance of time, chance and destiny and its impact on the individual though his unique tripartite structure and film techniques. Both the film and street art manipulate aspects of construction to create distinctively visual texts.

Granted the tone changes throughout the book but the overwhelming and most effective tone was that of objectivity. Showing both sides gives him the opportunity to say that his work was not partial to abolishment. The in depth description of the whipping was compelling while the notation of a fair amount of leisure time as

English essay- Explore the ways in which John Steinbeck presents power in the fight scene.

This section stood out to me while reading because it is the start of a lot of questions initiated throughout this novel. This quote is the where we as readers realize that the spores that she inhaled on page 25 (“… a nodule in the W chosen that moment to burst open and a tiny spray of golden spores spewed out. I pulled back but I though I felt something enter my nose…” ) was actually affecting her and her ability to understand the secrets in this world. This is the moment in which she reflects

It is shown about every chapter. The prisoners are treated in horrible ways throughout the entire book. The officers are so cruel and do not even see them as people any more. The quote I chose is “At that moment in time, all that mattered to me was my daily bowl of soup, my crust of stale bread. The bread, the soup- those

8. Name some sentences/quotes within the text the could be considered important to meaning/moral of the story.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on chapter titled “Do You Hear What I Hear?” by Pratricia Edward and Jennifer Turner. In reference to your questions, I thought the authors of this chapter had a better answer to begin the conversation by stating, “…every parent has his or her own story to tell. Thus, parents “stories” are the narratives gained from open-ended conversations and/or interview between teachers and parents” (Dantas & Manyak, 2010, p. 141). This answers your first question because they include all parents in the statement, under the defining the parent story approach section of the chapter, although this chapter is dedicated to African American parents.

I chose a Quotation on page 49: “I’m such a turtle!” I choose it because it shows how Sadako sometimes feels about herself and she isn’t always the happy girl I thought she was when I’ve started this book. It also shows the readers that Sadako is human and can be sad too. For example, in this part of the book she was really angry with herself for making her mother (also known as Mrs. Sasaki) sad. Sadako tried to eat her favorite food, that her mom brought her to the hospital and which was very expensive, but she couldn’t.

Is a lifetime of having a guilty conscience worth avoiding a prison sentence? Ray Bronson, one of the main characters from I Know What You Did Last Summer by Lois Duncan, certainly did not think so. In fact, Ray immediately tried to personally provide help to little David Gregg, the child who they had just run over. He knew he had to help him but was restricted by Barry, a friend of his who was driving the vehicle while under the influence of marijuana and alcohol, this is very telling of his character. Ray Bronson is a charismatic, sound-minded, discerning, and mature teenager.
