“The best measure of a spiritual life is not its ecstasies but its obedience.” – Oswald Chambers

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.

“But I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.” “In fact,” said Mustapha Mond, “you’re claiming the right to be unhappy.” “All right then,” said the Savage defiantly, “I’m claiming the right to be unhappy,” This significant quote from Brave New World had moved innumerable readers’ heart, so do I. Exaggeration? No. It’s the satire to the false meaning of the universal happiness, and it’s this quote which made me had rethink what do I really want and the way of living I want to choose. Because the deep influence and rumination brought by the book, I would like to say

There are multiple details that stood out as particularly true to life in my view. One was the nariartator that it is telling the story/ his view point main character mentions what check out aisle number. It mentions how the three girls looked. The character payed attention to how the girl that seem to be the leader was walking saying “she came down a little hard on her heels, as if she didn’t walk in her bare feet much” this quote helps you picture how the person and might help picture what the girl was walking like. He gave details to where he was and what he was doing when the three girls was doing. He mentions that “I’m in the third check-out slot with my back to the door so that I didn’t see them until they had reach the bread” this helps the reader to set up an mental image of the store as they are reading.

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).

ME) Paul now you have all of the necessary information to you along your journey. It will not be an overnight fix, However if you stay committed to steps we both agreed on you will be just fine.

During a warm, sunny morning at a house surrounded by a big field of flowers, Oyasumi has to babysit two kids, Prince Alfred and Nature Alfred. Oyasumi made a cup of coffee for herself as she waited for the kids to arrive. They finally arrived at Oyasumi’s house and ran to the door, excited and happy. Oyasumi didn’t want them in her house with the thoughts of something possibly breaking, so she told them to play outside. Nature Alfred rolled around in the flowers, purring with happiness to finally see lots of plant life, while Prince Alfred became bored. After a few minutes, Nature Alfred also got bored. Prince Alfred felt like roleplaying as his character, a prince, but he also didn’t want Oyasumi to be the “beautiful” princess in his roleplay.

I wake up in the morning to find half of the Zeros gone and already at breakfast. I see Flynn reading something all the way across the room. He usually reads in the morning waiting for me to get up, which impresses me because in Society Z you don’t have much use for books. You don’t have much use for anything. Which is probably why we’re here.

Samael's eyes too filled with tears, but they weren't tears of sadness or even pain, but of joy. He smiled widely, a trembling hand lifting to gently caress Amaimon's cheek, brushing away his own tears. He knew it must have surprised his brother, especially considering the way he cried so suddenly. He could see an immeasurable amount of guilt in his mate's gaze and he knew it tore him asunder. It hurt, it did, but it didn't matter, being with Amaimon like this mattered. Over The last few months together Samael had learned once again how to read his brother's emotions easily and he knew just by looking up at him and that guilt that just as he had the earth King had imagined this. He'd thought of this too, but slower, gently, just like the time

To Yossarian he was “living” the dream, because he could fake pains and need to stay in the hospital for days at a time until he “felt better” which kept him out of flying missions. While this was “everything he wanted”, we later learn that Colonel Cathcart (complete ignorant sun of a gun) keeps raising the missions the soldiers have to fly until they are allowed to be grounded and this actually hurts Yossarian’s plan of staying here until the war is over. Although the hospital seemed to be his paradise, no one liked him there but let him stay even though some knew he was lying about the pains in his liver, bringing up one of the several reasons his squadron was very contradictory and messed

1. A wire service is a shared news story, which smaller papers buy. Since they do not have enough money for their own reporters everywhere, they buy smaller versions of the story. This is going to make an effect in the story because now the whole incident is everywhere, even the small towns that have to pay for wire service. The news account of the story changes when it hits the wire because now there is only a small part of the story and people make wrong assumptions.

After visiting his grandparent, Louis and his parent straight went back home for some rest and along the journey Louis tries again to ask his parent what was kept inside that storage room and his mother answered instead of his father because he was busy driving, Louis mother said, “It is something that belongs to the previous house owner and it is not appropriate for us to touch it as we have been told that those belonging are forbidden to be touched”. Louis replied, “ok” to his mom with a confuse expression. After they have reached home Louis was overwhelm by tiredness and went to sleep instead of thinking about it. As the sun rise, Louis wake up with full of energy ready to get his answer. Before he start he look around just in case if there is anyone around, then he went to his parent’s room to get the key and quickly he dash through the living room and kitchen to reach the storage room. This is the very moment that Louis has been waiting for as he get nearer he start to feel that

3. If I was in Charlie's position at the beginning of the story I wouldn't have went through with the surgery, because if God didn't want me to be like that, I wouldn't be like that. So I would stay the same. And It could also fail, just like what's happening to Charlie in the story. It would be kind of hard to reject the operation because you are this person that can’t really do anything, all you can do is sweep up an old bakery for minimum wage. It would be pretty boring doing that every day of your life. It would be even harder if someone was retarded and then they did a surgery that made them even worse. That's probably not something I would think about if I was mentally retarded, but that's what I'm thinking about right now.

When I stated back to school several years ago, I was going back to get a degree in education. However, a few years ago I had an experience that changed my life as I knew it. In 2010 my father in law developed pneumonia and was hospitalized. While visiting him in the hospital he went into cardiac arrest and the medical team came in and did their best to revive him, but he didn't make it. Being in the room during CPR and watching them try to revive my father in law was too much for my husband to handle. He went into a deep depression and his physician placed him on anti-depressants and Xanax.

1. Something that is ironic about Jack’s knowledge of German is that he, as a person who should be acknowledged of the language, can barely pronounce a word. As a Hitler expert, Jack, the narrator of the book, should at least be able to speak German quite fluently since he has been doing research of the language for a few years. It is also ironic because he even hires an individual who is fluent with the language to teach him even though, as a Hitler expert, he should be doing so.
