Entry #2 In the book, All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, Doerr changes the narration of the book by interchanging the two characters’ perspectives. I think that the narration change between the two characters made the book more intriguing to read. One example of when the story was more intriguing was in chapter eight where Marie-Laure was hiding from the German soldiers who had been searching the house for a couple of days. This part was really intense because the soldiers wouldn’t leave until they walked away with what they wanted. The next section went on to tell the story about Werner and his mission in Saint-Malo. Werner’s interruption made the story more suspenseful because I had to wait a couple of chapters before finding
“But they need not have thought that they could possess her, body and soul.” Passages: Page 129 Paragraph 3 Page 79 Paragraph 2 Symbols Bird with the broken wing. - the bird was flying in circles, representing Edna’s thoughts in her ind swirling and her dwelling on trying to escape but not being able to.
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
I didn’t think I would like this book simply because I knew that it has existentialist themes which I was never fond of. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern was confusing and I probably would have liked it more if I saw it live as an actual performance. However, I do like how Meursault has clear actions and thoughts even though I don’t believe in all of them. Like when he is pretty much indifferent to Raymond’s abusive nature. But somehow he pitties Salamano’s dog. That whole point is confusing to me like I don't understand if Meursault is just bad at seeing the similarities or what.
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.
Lily Cooke AP Lang Summer Dialectical Journal The Things They Carried- Tim O’Brien 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).
Martin describes the travel and the toll it took on men. “I had now to travel the rest of the day, after marching all the day and night before and fighting all the morning. I had eaten nothing since the noon of the preceding day, nor did I eat a morsel til the forenoon of the next day, and I needed rest as much as victuals. After the army had collected again and recovered from their panic, we were kept marching and countermarching, starving and freezing” (Martin
Chapter 9 An interesting passage is, “I have nothing to say of my life during this period. It no longer mattered. After my father’s death, nothing could touch me anymore” (Wiesel 82). A devastating passage is, “We were tormented with hunger. We had eaten nothing for six days, except a bit of
Chapter 4 was insightful in public opinion, because there is a lot to say about it. The political socialization unit was something we all know, but it also allows time to look into the lense of children, I looked at this more intently because I am taking a juvenile delinquency course and we read about exposure to environments as well as the family molding a child is very impactful.
Kayla- The morning of April 19, 1775 , Britain’s General Gage would send out squadrons of British soldiers stationed in Boston .
1.) The ending did not surprise me; I think it may have if we hadn’t discussed it in class. I think I would have been very surprised and confused, if I hadn’t known the ending prior to reading it. 2.) Farquhar neck was broken, so he must have died instantly.
A long long time ago. Oops nevermind it was like 5 minutes ago when we first made a time machine to help us study for assignments for Social studies in 6th grade. Anna, Paisley, and Posa were all busy celebrating in Anna’s basement, when Albert Einstein shot out of the time machine from the time period of 1905! A great moment!
Ch 6 Paul says that every man should trust his luck because chance is all they have. Paul says “ It is just as much a matter of chance that [ he is] still alive as that [he] might have been hit” (49). He also says that “ No soldier outlives a thousand chances” (49). Paul is saying that all the soldiers can trust is their chance and luck.
There was many people who joined the war, some of them were forced to go, and some of them were being choose to go. The author says: “…some of them excited by the adventure, some of them afraid, some of them exhausted from the long night march, some of them looking forward to reaching the sea, where they would be safe.” The author uses the images of the sea to build to peaceful picture on their mind. There was major difference between two characters that are Toby and Paul. Toby is used to wars and everyone knows him, and he has a nickname that is called: "Buffalo", and some of them were calling him "Buff". Paul is new to a war, and he is afraid and no one knows him and he doesn't have a nickname.
kept in good spirits, and there was no grumbling at the There were times when troops had to charge for ten miles to get to towns to protect them(Mohr, 326). Troops often woke up before daylight to march and sometimes they would just march right back to where they started(Brown, 120). There were also times when troops would march a couple of hundred yards and end up marching back the next day. It sounds as though there
