Different Aspects Of Life

For instance, in this selection the author wrote”…four passenger planes left the Boston, Newark and Washington D.C airports.”(Unknown 545) This line represents historical content by showing that these four planes caused the traumatizing event that occurred on September 11,2001. It also shows sight because it states where and what left these airports on the day of what we now remember as 911. Another example, is “ Improvised memorials sprung up near sights of the attacks and the victims homes…” (unknown545) This line exemplifies, the grief of the terrorist attack near the accident, and also reflects on sight like the example above. Like I said in the first selection, these two literary pieces develop a connection between their themes in several ways. Such as,” With an outpouring of sympathy and good will, …volunteers in and around N.Y.C and Washington D.C arranged services for the survivors and rescuers.”(Unknown 545) This line symbolizes both theme and historical content because it shows how others helped and supported those who were in the tragic, unexpected event. This theme quote is also similar to the other selection because the author ,Alan Jackson, wrote about how people showed sympathy; donating blood to those who were in need of it at the moment. Furthermore,

In present day society, individuals dedicate their time to social media on the internet and electronics, towards updating statuses, rebloging pictures, favoriting videos, reading up on current events, and staying connected in general. It’s only been 25 years since Tim Burners-Lee invented the world wide web and it’s no secret that it is one of the most progressive and influential invention of our time. Dave Eggers, in his current book The Circle, foretells his version of what can happen with the growth of technology and social media and pushes our current standard of being virtually connected from the main social networks Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Tumblr. In

Ever since the integration of technology and social media, we have changed as a society in how we interact, make conversation, and go about our daily lives. In the novel Feed, by M.T Anderson, the possible consequences of our dependence on technology and social media are highlighted through experiences between several teenagers in the future. They all live in a world that is the equivalent of a hyped up social media, which has taken over the way we interact with people. It becomes evident that M.T Anderson does not view our generation with applause, rather with disdain and pessimism for what we are doing to affect our future generations socially, politically, and economically. From the beginning of the novel, the reader

In the passage "Boys Life" and "Emancipation: A Life Fable" have things in common with the theme and differences with the theme. I know this because they both have a similar themes. I think the theme for both passages is being patient can be rewarding.

What are the main ideas in each of the two essays? (list 3 for each one)

The second pair of themes being contrasted is alienation and loneliness from Fahrenheit 451 and “Cyborg, Earthling, Lunar- you are human” from Marissa Meyer’s novel. Both these themes are considered minor in their respective novels. The theme from Cinder is touched

Whilst the two texts are presented in a different way, both formats receive a similar response from the reader and are useful in presenting particular ideas about

These two stories contain themes that are different as well as themes that are the same. The tones in these stories overlap in a way. These overlapping tones are:

Many themes can have some similarities even if they aren't the exact same. Even though they may be similar they could many differences too. The two themes that are being compared and contrasted are “The American Dream is unattainable” and “Don’t put money and materialism above anything else”

For instance, a significant factor contributing to the evident contrast between the two works is each passage’s tone. The author of the first passage uses a factual and informative tone, unlike the author of the second passage. Relying mainly on logic and facts, the author of the first excerpt produces

Both texts demonstrate the same theme of characters as the two different local working class family experiences of the disaster in two dissimilar ways.

The book talks about how internet can deepen friendships, using social media to become more aware of a friend’s day to day life. (Berger, 204, p. 551-552). Social media helps most friendships, I always loved seeing the pictures my friends would post while we were apart as it almost allowed me to be with them or sometimes my friends would post pictures of us together just to say they missed me. As my friends and I have graduated high school and entered college, we may not see eachother very much within a year. Social media is one thing that allows us to always keep in touch. We may not see eachother everyday like before but things like snapchat allow us to stay in touch. Technology really has been able to form and improve friendships. Along with keeping in touch, social media also helped me reconnect with friends Id lost contact with. My senior year of high school one of my friends from second grade reached out to me via social media. We met up one day and out friendship rekindled, I gained another valuable friendship because of social media. According to the book the fear of internet causing isolation is false, if anything internet users seem to have more friends than nonusers (Berger,

Both passages have many differences but are very similar to each other. The passages seem like they have quite the same theme life lesson. So, today I will be comparing and contrasting the approaches each text uses to develop that theme. The theme will either teach you a life lesson, or it will just inspire a lot of people! So here is the theme for both of the passages.

The author illustrates in her blog the power and impact Facebook had on the population by convincing to be “a place of human connectivity,” but

“Social media allows people to connect with each other to create and share information. It is people-powered communication, an authentic dialogue motivated by a basic human desire to share information” (CIPD, Social Media and Employee Voice Report 2013). ‘Click’ and my message is on its way to my friend’s Facebook inbox hundred of miles away. The astonishing speed of how quick we can communicate in today’s societies, all thanks to social media. The invention of Facebook simplified everything we know about communication. We can connect to people whenever and wherever, sharing information has never been more convenient and exciting. In Shane Hipps’ Article, “ Is Facebook Killing Our Souls?,” he has no intention to impede technological advancements, instead he wants users to understand technologies with insights. According to my research, although Hipps ' points has some merits, I disagree with him because he overgeneralized the impacts that Facebook and other social media has on users’ behaviors and identities.
