Analyzing Barry's Narrative

Even though she was at her house, she still hurried to get to school for the feeling of satisfaction and safety instead of staying at her house which is filled with fear and discomfort. Barry uses the main character’s actions to convey that the narrator only feels comfort when she is at school and that she always urges to be there. Secondly, in the passage that follows, Lynda Barry writes the narrator’s thoughts to show that just the sighting of someone’s safe haven can relieve panic. “ All I knew was a feeling of panic, like the panic that strikes kids when they realize they are lost. That feeling eased the moment I turned the corner and saw the dark outline of my school at the top of the hill” (Barry 1). The quotes conveys that just when the protagonist sees the outline of her school the feeling of discomfort simply disappears. The narrator’s mind finally went calm, as shown through the thoughts that went through her head. Thirdly, in the next excerpt, the author uses first person narrative to express the thinking of the central figure of narrative. “It’s only thinking about it now, 28 years later, that

In Lynda Barry's essay “The Sanctuary of School” Barry gives her own personal feelings and experiences about the school system. She points out the fact that when times are “lean” the first things the government eliminates from the school systems is the art, music. and other creative programs. In her essay she gives her readers insight on her childhood, explaining how going to school was her get-away from her financially and emotionally unstable home. Barry points out how she and her brother weren’t noticed by their family while at home. For example, at the age of seven Barry sneaks out of the house while it was still dark because she feels a sudden urgency to get to school; when she gets close, she feels a sense of peace come over her. When

Throughout her narrative, Barry appeals to our sense of pathos with her story. It makes us sympathize with children who grew up like her, which helps to make her argument more effective. If we think about people in her situation, we would think higher about the importance of public schools. By starting the essay off with a sad story she gets her audience's attention, and it helps to keep us interested. She best appeals to our feelings when she says. “But in an overcrowded and unhappy home, it's incredible easy for a child to slip away.” (p.857) Her experience in growing up in an unhappy home affects the way she views school. Her outlook on school was a positive one because that is where she felt the most comfortable. Her argument is mostly effective because of these experiences she had.

What made you want to make the characters “Barry”? What was your inspiration for writing about Hurricane Katrina? What gave you the thought to make Barry survive by himself? Are you going to make a book about Hurricane Katrina? If you do make a book about about Hurricane Harvey would you make the plot similar to Hurricane Katrina? Would you make it about an adult instead of a child? Do you always make the characters children more interesting? Or do you always make the main character a child?

Barry begins her persuasive essay with the techniques of ethos and pathos, by stating her situation at home when she was seven. Her sorrows begin with words like "I snuck out of the house" and "my parents had been fighting all night." She states "The morning I snuck out, I woke up filled with a panic about needing to get to school". This statement plays on the readers emotions while also implying that school is important to her, portraying ethos and pathos. She shifts into a section were she uses pathos. In A DARK OUTSIDE,

Dave Barry, in his essay, “Lost in the Kitchen”, writes about how men are useless when it comes to helping in the kitchen. Barry's main purpose is to show this in a relatable yet humorous way to his audience. Barry talks about a thanksgiving experience and is amazed that all the stereotypical remarks about men and women in the kitchen are true. In order to convey this message to the audience, Barry uses humor to connect with his audience by using an amusing tone, using figurative language and making it relatable to his audience, all to achieve his comic effect.

Various details from Barry’s narrative essay let the reader know that her childhood home life was far from perfect. Skim back over the essay and make a list of the details she includes to describe what she refers to as “a particular brand of neglect in her home” One of the details from Barry’s narrative

Bailey’s statement about the snapshot is invalid. She states that the crate will got at a constant speed to the right. For instance, in the PHET simulation we observed that when a continuous force was put on a crate, it sped up. If the crate was originally moving to the left, it would decelerate since an opposing force was acting on it. If it originally was at rest or moving to the right, it would accelerate because a continuous force is acting on it causing an unbalanced force. This connects to Newton’s first law because the object has an unbalanced force and is constantly accelerating. On the whole, Bailey’s statement about the snapshot is completely invalid.

The attitude toward the topic Barry is writing about is positive, uplifting, and inspiring. She wrote, “I loved to read when I was little.” She includes love with everything she described, making the reader feel comfortable knowing that this story is loveable and happy. This short

An older audience could recognize the events that occurred earlier in their life. The documentation shaped the obstacles Barry faced. From the problematic struggles Barry developed with his wife Lucy (Sarah Wright) to the internal conflicts Barry had, the plot depicted Barry’s complications. A connection developed with Berry and the audience throughout his

The first opening is the most successful opening to Cody’s piece. The first opening solidly places us in small-town Ardmore, Alabama, which I assume is a crucial part of the story, and introduces one of the conflicts for the characters—the winter storm, for which no Alabamian is ever adequately prepared. It also shows us Jon’s pessimism, depression, and general disdain for others, which is integral to the narrative. However, I think a way to make these openings more successful overall is to pay close attention to diction and grammar. Sentence variation is incredibly important in writing; without adequate sentence variation, the text begins to sound monotonous and disengaging. I think more free indirect style would hook the reader more as well.

''Start vibrating it will warm you up.'' Said Cisco, barely giving any look to his friend before running over to Caitlin.

Hey Will, seems as though we are in the same boat, because I know I put the 'pro' in procrastination. I like to see myself as a good student and I really try my hardest, most of the time. That being said though, I do find myself working with more ambition on english because it's my favorite, if we are talking school subjects. Your thoughts about writing is something I never thought about, being a shy person myself I can really relate to your preference on writing over verbal communication. I find myself tongue tied or at a lost of the right words to say when chatting face to face. Your interests in funeral directing and embalming, seem quite interesting, something that I have always wondered how people got into. Having serval deaths in my family

Short stories can share themes, motifs, symbols, consequences, and plot lines, even if there is never any intention to share a common element between the stories. The stories can be written close together or in different decades and still be linked to the one another. They can also be worlds apart with different meanings in the end, but that does not stop them from having similar ideas expressed within them. The following three stories, “Lagoon” by Joseph Conrad, “The Rocking Horse Winner” by DH Lawrence, and “The Lady in the Looking Glass” by Virginia Woolf, are three totally different stories that share common threads that make them the stories that they are.

In Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, Salinger creates a unique narration through the way Holden speaks. In The Catcher in the Rye, Salinger reveals the inner Holden Caufield through the style of Salinger's writing. Salinger writes the book as if Holden Caulfield speaks directly through the reader, like a kid telling a story to his friends. Like with most conversations, there is more to infer from not only the speaker says, but also how the speaker says it. In the book, readers can infer that Holden is much more than a cynical kid. In reality, he is "too affectionate" and "very emotional" (76), much like his little sister Phoebe.
