The way the world is surrounded by technology, not being able to understand technology is difficult but not “death in life”. Today, almost anything on paper is easily accessed on a laptop or smartphone.

In English and French.” When I read that quote, I think of Carole's troubles when learning to read on paper, now she has to learn all over again on a laptop. Personally, I find it very hard to read off of a smartboard or laptop and I can only think of the struggles coming Carole's way in the 21st century. Some challenges could be,

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair…”

In “The Sniper” by Liam O'Flaherty, the Republican Sniper is shown as brave, stupid, and sneaky. The Sniper is shown to be scared in the story when he was sniping at the window sniping. “The noise would wake the dead.” This quote shows that The Sniper is stupid because during this part, he is smoking and giving out his position.

The purpose of this quote is to foreshadow what the crime does to the community and how the death of four lives not only ruins the lives of the murderers but also the townspeople. Holcomb was described in the previous paragraphs as a peaceful place where nothing bad could have ever happened. However, the author uses phases such as “lock their doors” to portray how Holcomb and the people that live there had their lives change drastically. Capote also uses the phrase “and as strangers” to show how a very close community transforms into a town where no one feels safe and secure. The effectiveness of this quote comes from how Capote describes the townspeople and what affect it has on their everyday lifestyles.

I chose to write about the "Reach for a LUCKY instead of a sweet" ad created by Lucky Strike cigarettes and how they appealed to the average American woman of the 1920's. We'll be going over what the average American woman of the 20's was as well as why they were so fascinated with smoking cigarettes. Didn't they know that cigarettes cause cancer? Didn't they know that they could die, and leave their loved ones behind because of cancer? Did they truly believe that cigarettes were the miracle to keeping them skinny? Or do you think that cigarettes were more of an accessory than a need to be happy and healthy? The truth is, ads like this target women who want to look sexy and keep their slim figures, or maybe even lose weight, but also

What would happen if you lived in a world with no emotion, no emotion, and no choice? This is exactly the case in The Giver.

This situation mirrors an event in the book The Outsiders when Darry tells Ponyboy, “They didn't hurt you too bad, did they?” After this question, Ponyboy reluctantly agrees that he is fine. The way Darry and the Dad in Glass Castle word their questions prompts a specific response. In both cases they tell the other what they expect to hear.

In The Pearl, society is responsible for Kino's failure because it never gives Kino the chance for an education and discriminates against Kino because of his race.

In the novel, The Pearl, by John Steinbeck, the characters are motivated to do things which reflect on their actions. In the novel we see how the want for power and a better future drives Kino throughout the story. Near the beginning of the novel, Coyotito is bitten by a scorpion, but the doctor refuses to treat him because Kino cannot pay him. This leads Kino to search for a pearl to pay for the expenses.

In the novel it states, “‘My [Kino’s] son will read and open books, and my son will write and will know writing. And my son will make numbers, and these things will make us free because he will know… This is what the pearl will do,’” (31;

Among many other characters, Yossarian becomes very negative during the war. “Don’t tell me God works in mysterious ways. There’s nothing so mysterious about it. He’s not working at all. He’s playing. Or else He’s forgotten all about us. That’s the kind of God you people talk about…a country bumpkin, a clumsy, bungling, brainless, conceited, uncouth hayseed.” (179) Here, Yossarian mocks his fellow soldiers’ religious beliefs. Not only does he ridicule their God, he also expresses hopelessness and disbelief in something many seek hope and faith in, especially during the war. This statement greatly exemplifies the anguish of many soldiers during this war; it breaks them.
