Compare And Contrast The Summer And The Winter Session

The two short stories that we read in this unit, “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury ,and “Examination Day” by Henry Slesar, both have meanings of their societies. In “All Summer In A Day” the main character, Margot lives on Venus and gets bullied by the other kids on Venus because she has seen the sun back on Earth while they only saw it when they were babies. On the only day where the sun goes out Margot gets shoved into a closet while the kids that bullied her get to go enjoy the sun for the first time in 7 years. In “Examination Day” the main character, Dickie, gets killed because his intelligence quotient is above the amount the Government wants it to be. Both of their societies are highly sophisticated but, they are very different

Without a doubt winter and summer are two different seasons and living in the south we have our fair share of extreme weather. Both seasons require a certain type of driving and to do that without problems you need to keep your car in working order. Without a doubt getting from point A to point B can be an issue if you do not understand how to manage your vehicle.

The summer and winter sessions symbolized Gene's loss of innocence.

"This was the way the masters tended to treat us that summer," (Knowles 23). Together, Gene and

In the passage, "Boy's Life", the boy, Cory Mackenson, has an external conflict. It was the last day of school, he wanted to leave school. In the story, Cory describes his last day as, “the world was out there, waiting beyond the square metal-rimmed windows.” (Boy's Life, paragraph five) I can infer that he was anxious to leave school for summer break. When the teacher held Cory back for a few minutes, he described it as torture. “Oh, this

During the summer session, Devon is a peaceful place and shows the innocence of childhood and friendship. When the winter session arrives the peaceful atmosphere disappears and the school becomes gloomy, tense, and a more hostile place as the boys grow up.

In the next section a recurring theme is shown with the references to time. This creates a sad, melancholic atmosphere, as the audience is aware of the character’s significant lack of time together, but the characters are not, so their happy unawareness and this dramatic irony is slightly poignant. Again, fate is reference by the narrator “care not for what’s at the end of the day”, again forcing the audience to remember the fate of the boys, this

In One Summer 1927 and When Everything Changed, the authors are both showing the reader different ways in which America was shaped over the years. The author of One Summer mainly tells the men's role in history, while When Everything Changed focuses more on the Women's role in history. Between these two time periods, there is a lot that took place. Some of the events included; Charles Lindbergh and the flappers in One Summer and the Women's right movement and struggles in becoming equal in When Everything Changed. By showing both the men's and women's side of each story, the reader can come to the conclusion that men and women are equal when making history.

Knowles expresses the youth and innocence of the characters through the Devon river and Summer. The Devon represented a carefree-innocent life. The Devon was “… the fresh water … where[they] had so much fun all summer” (Knowles 76). The Devon almost acted as safe haven to the boys. The Devon was the place where they climbed and jumped off the tree. Each time they jumped off the tree branch it was almost as if they were jumping out of their worries that they had. The worries they had created for themselves because they were protected by the Masters of the school from any real issues. The Summer applied in the same way. The Summer was always favored and fun. It looked as if even the masters of the school “… seemed to be modifying their usual

The poem, “Those Winter Sundays,” by Robert Hayden and song “Look What You’ve Done,” by Drake. These songs are similar because both men are reliving childhood memories, discussing love between family members and their childhood days. Both men talk about how their parental figures worked so hard for them. In stanza 1 Robert Hayden says,”... then with cracked hands that ached,” in relation Drake says,”your back hurt, and your neck hurt, and you smoking heavy.”

During my school years, I focused on my grades but for the summer I go to summer programs, such as HCC or TSU, to learn about colleges and to have a personal experience on how interviews progress, etc. I also volunteer at the Houston Food Bank and commit to Pup Squad, this is an organization for helping to set up and adopt puppies and mothers who have been abandoned or abused by previous owners. I am a very dependable person, and I sacrificed myself to offer assistance when someone needs it. I also work well with others and take on difficult or inconspicuous responsibilities. It is my duty to help others who are in need of assistance and I’m willing to do the job.

Summer and winter are both very nice seasons. Many people like both of these seasons, but really these two seasons have nothing in common. Winter is the season that has more activities and can do more of the summer activities making it better. They have different clothing and different amounts of clothing, they both have animals, but this is also different in each season, they have different foods and different temperature of foods and they also have different activities that adapt to the type of weather in these seasons.
