The author revealed that Stefan Holm was obviously the star of the World Championships, while Donald Thomas was just a new competitor. In paragraph 7, the author wrote what the broadcasters announced about both athletes. For Holm, the broadcasters announced "Holm as the favorite", while they called Thomas a "'very much an unknown quantity.'" In paragraph 8, the author revealed that Thomas was clearly a novice in high jumping, while he also showed the readers that Holm was certainly no beginner. He showed this when he wrote "Thomas began on the infield, as if he were using the high jump equivalent of the short tees at a golf course."
When it comes to who was a more effective politician than the other, leadership abilities and their historical significance were the most common answers. Across Canada, many politicians ran several parties such as the Conservative Party and the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation. Two great examples of politicians who ran parties are R.B Bennett and Tommy Douglas. R.B Bennett leading the Conservative party from 1927-1938 and Tommy Douglas running the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation from 1933-1961. Both were fortunate with Bennett being Prime Minister from 1930-1935 and Douglas being the premier of Saskatchewan from 1944-1961. Out of these two leaders, Tommy Douglas was a more effective politician than
In my opinion, Mr. Smith and Rodney Davis share many similarities but also several differences. Rodney Davis represents the 13th Congressional District of Illinois in the U.S. House of Representatives. Every time I've seen Rodney Davis in person he has been kind and likable. These are two qualities I would use to characterize Mr. Smith as well. Rodney Davis comes from a more rural part of Illinois, so agriculture is one of his top proprieties.
As a result of Dr. Blacklock and Vivian Thomas’ research and breakthrough human heart surgery became possible. The two worked closely together and had major contributions to the heart surgery. However, Vivian Thomas’ contributions to the research went unnoticed for more than three decades. Vivian Thomas faced many inequalities, which he approached with a respectable manner. Many of the inequalities faced were because of the changing attitudes about race throughout the 20th century. In today’s world the recognition going to Vivian Thomas and Dr. Blacklock would’ve played out differently and would’ve accredited Vivian Thomas for his work.

The different lives and experiences of William Bradford, John Smith, and Olaudah Equiano show how there are many ways to be adapted to a new world. There were many struggles that each of them faced, and each had different motives when writing their experiences. In some way, there are all connected to one another, with some similarities, but there are differences also.
This period of our lives is a one bursting with challenging events and life-changing transitions, don’t you think? However testing this phase may be though, it's how we accept and counteract these alterations that ultimately opens up a deeper understanding of our world and self. J.C. Burke’s thought provoking novel, ‘The Story of Tom Brennan’ and John Marsden and Matt Ottley’s heartbreaking picture book ‘Home and away’, address this concept of transition and their challenges associated as each protagonist undergoes a catastrophic journey surrounding a challenged attitude and the need for maturity development.
Baldwin and Staples’ writes about how the world is innately filled with discrimination. The diction and syntax is influential, yet exotic, considering Baldwin’s tone as straightforward since, Baldwin was a preacher before he became a writer, he proclaims moral statements which makes his words have a lot of sympathy that will lead to the audience’s attention. As for Staples tone, it is pensive, after all Staples was misjudged by a woman because of his different skin color, in fear the lady ran away because she thought he was a criminal. As a result, this made Staples’ tone is more lenient, by reasons of how he is an understanding person. Baldwin’s straightforward syntax highlights his lugubrious attitude
Professor William. W. Sherman is from the book The 21 Balloons. People call him brave and selfish. Mr.Fredrickson, from UP, on the other hand, is also brave but very lonely. The book and the movie both have a main character that has some differences and some similar traits.
Douglass developed rhetorical devices such as repetition, antithesis and alluring strategies. He was using an impressive preaching style, as well as rhythms and imagery of biblical texts. In addition, Douglass's genre resembles a classic male myth, a story which follows a youth's development from childhood into manhood. Jacobs, on the other hand, used a writing style which focused on a sentimental novel. This kind of style highlighted womanly chastity, home, family and marriage. This kind of genre was used to show an objection towards a code behavior commanding women staying innocent and humble. Both Douglass and Jacobs used these genres in their narratives to stress issues such as, fighting for what you believe in and addressing critical questions
(page 260) This was just the beginning though, he would go on to beat that record by five hundredths of a second, securing him a spot in the record books. He set new standards and changed the way people see track and field. “Winning three gold medals in Beijing wasn’t quite enough to make me one of the greatest sportsmen ever, but doing it twice was something to shout about.” (page 263)
Bigger Thomas was a troubled soul as you could tell from the beginning of the book. You could see that he always wanted to prove something to others, when he actually just needed to always prove something to himself. He felt angry by what society believed about him without getting to know him as a person. He got bullied everyday by society telling him what he was from a young age without actually getting the chance to figure it out himself. Overall as we have seen, society is the cause of a lot of controversy. Society can cause an excessive amount of damage to a person, but it can’t force you to murder.
From a similar viewpoint, both authors did have a strong belief relating to the importance of a subject pertaining to sports. One believed that it is important to look the way you want, and to work extra hard to get there, while the other mentioned the unimportance of how society today sees many stereotypes of how certain people are meant to play certain roles in sports. Many similar people stand evenly gifted according to each other without reasoning. He fights that there is no other side to the previous statement.
Evolution, a controversial concept that continues to be debated on whether it helped or impeded the advancement of our society. Although many may argue that the perception of life hasn’t changed, people must be informed in order to understand the significant impact the theory of evolution has on creationism, the origins of life, and the environment.
The experiences, memories and treatment in any situation are viewed upon differently between a man and a woman. Obvious in the case of slavery, the two sexes were treated differently and so therefore their recollections of such events were-different. In the following short essay, we look closely at the perspective of the female slave, Harriet Jacobs in “Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl”, and respectfully compared to that of a man slave, Frederick Douglass in “The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass”. Although both experienced their freedoms despite facing great
Anne Bradstreet’s " In Memory of My Dear Grandchild Elizabeth Bradstreet, Who Deceased August, 1665, Being a Year and Half Old" and Edward Taylor’s “Upon Wedlock and Death of Children” are elegies written in early colonial America. Bradstreet and Taylor were contemporaries of each other, and while Bradstreet became well known for her poetry during her lifetime, Taylor was not discovered until years after his death. The poetry that they wrote was controversial in Colonial America because it was not written using plain style, a type of writing which avoided the use extra-biblical references and shifted attention from the writer. Both writers wrote their respective elegies to express the grief they felt in the loss of their offspring.
