1. “‘I tell you what, young fellow,’ said she, ‘I didn’t bring you up by hand to badger people’s lives out.’” (Dickens 14).

Nearing the conclusion of the story Atwood changes the tone saying: "The only authentic ending is the one presented here: John and Mary die. John and Mary die. John and Mary die." At the end of every person's life, regardless of how they lived it or what they experienced, they will encounter death. Atwood recognizes that society tends to not think about death because it is not the most comforting of thoughts, and uses the title "Happy Endings" to give the reader the opportunity to be reflective.

Paragraph 1 tone : He seems nervous about this trip He says ,“We’ve all been up since midnight, starting our predive checks after a couple of restless hours of sleep, and the whole team is running on adrenaline. These are the roughest conditions I’ve dived in so far on the expedition” The way he says that they’ve been up the whole night doing checks without sleep and how this is one of the roughest conditions he has dived in so far just gives the sense of nervousness if he will make the challenge.

Chapter 5: Paul explains about how unsanitary the camps are, explaining that he and his friends had gotten louses (lice) in their head, and they try to attempt to get it off. Haie tries to cheer up the rest of the soldiers by telling them that he might have got the lice from the hospital, but he is the one who laugh the most, for 30 minutes straight. After trying to get the lice off themselves, they hear that Himmelstoss got in trouble for harassing the soldiers, and the magistrate’s son caught him in the action. Hearing the news that Himmelstoss got in trouble for his wrongdoings, Paul and the rest of the group start planning out what they should do or say to Himmelstoss when he comes back to the camp. When talking about what they should do

In the novel The adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain chapter 28 Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer go exploring in the alley. When they get to the alley Tom goes in, Huck thinks that it feels like he has been in the alley for days. All of the sudden Tom goes sprinting out of the alley and yells, “ RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! Without questions the two ran to the old deserted slaughterhouse. There at the slaughterhouse Tom explained what he saw. He saw the drunk Injun Joe in the alley with the treasure. When Tom was running away he stepped on Injun Joe's hand because he was lying asleep on the floor, drunk. Tom grabbed a towel and ran with Huck to the slaughterhouse.

The writer composes the story from the perspective of an analyst. She alludes to occasions later on, facts, and information that no character could have known in the setting of the story. Incorporated into the content are genuine quotes said or composed by the general population she expounds on, including the primary character. She utilizes an extremely objective voice, giving successive analysis of distinctive individuals' outlook and continually alluding to insights to demonstrate her point. Since the book does not focus on the point of view of any single character, it peruses more like a news article than a story, which frequently exhausting its groups of readers. Accordingly, Hillenbrand's written work style once in a while obstructs the correspondence of her thoughts because she regularly includes actualities, quotes and investigation in the book; it usually bores audience on the grounds that it peruses more like a news article instead of a

I would rather live in the World State due to life on the “savage reserve” being hazardous. On the reserve, food is not guaranteed. In 1984 it is stated that the environment of the savage reserves is so inhospitable that it is not productive to establish civilization in these areas. To me, living in the World State would mean losing my identity, so I wouldn’t miss the freedoms that I have now. On the other hand, on the savage reserve I would be aware of the missing food and absence of any luxury. Also, based on Bernard’s experience in the book, I would have a hard time fitting in on the reserve as a white person.

1) “They carried the soldier’s greatest fear, which was the fear of blushing. Men killed, and died, because they were embarrassed not to. It was what had brought them to the war in the first place, nothing positive, no dreams of glory or honor, just to avoid the blush of dishonor. They died so as not to die of embarrassment” (O’Brien 20).

“‘Why do you say Africa instead of just saying the country you mean?’…‘You don’t know America. You say Senegal and American people, they say, Where is that...’” (Adichie 15).

“Well, I know it ain't Eli or Henry,” said Nancy, “they rode off to the North Country, this morning.”

The chapter starts off with victor’s dad Juan giving him the talk on of how everyone loves Mexicans, on how he should start studying girls so when time comes he will choose the right one That he should be a brave man and he gave the talk on what he should and should not do in his first day of school such as stop picking his nose. The next day five-year-old victor was so nervous, while in school he didn’t want his mother to leave him and started crying in front of the class. After the teacher and victor’s mom forced victor to stay, a Mexican kid next to him started to comfort him. The teacher then screamed at them for speaking Spanish, she made it clear that English was the primary language in school. Victor was not allowed to go to the restroom,

After reading chapter 3 and 4 of the novel Of Mice and Men, an important quote stood out to me among the rest of the passage. On page 68, Crooks responded to Lennie’s sudden entrance, “You go on get outta my room. I ain’t wanted in the bunkhouse, and you ain’t wanted in my room.” Earlier chapters describe how he was not allowed to sleep in the bunkhouse with everyone else and had to be separated in a room by himself. Moreover, it is a rare occasion does people ever visit him, on the exception for Slim.

Augustus

Secondly, through the perspective of another character, Augustus has his own way of taking care of his family and loved ones in his amount of depleting time. Like Hazel, Augustus feels the need to make the important people in his life better when times are gloomy. Quote, “I’m hopeful I’ll get to attend as a ghost, but just to make sure, I thought I’d-well, not to put you on the spot, but I just this afternoon though I could arrange a prefuneral, and I figured since I’m in reasonably good spirits, there’s no time like the present.” (257). Spoken by Augustus to Hazel, this request by Augustus can be broken down to him simply understanding and accepting he does not have much time left. He wants to let everyone he cares about to know what he has left to say and for everyone to say their last words to him, saying their goodbyes, and ensuring them that he does hear what they all have left to say. He also keeps his happy mood because he knows if he can remain positive, it would

Galinsky adds a new dynamic to the telling of Augustus’ life with his interpretation and depiction of the leadership and the progress made at the time. He is attempting to show the reader a more rounded picture of the life of this young emperor. The strict structure of the overall book is great in reminding the reader that this is a recount of historical events. This along with the inset boxes may at times dry out the entertaining aspects of the story being told. That being said this book is well put together and unlike the average historical text has foudn a way to keep audiences engaged while keeping structure, and fact in unison.
