Hi Antoine: A Narrative Analysis

In chapter four, “Narration: Telling a Story”, from the book The Bedford Read, published by Bedford/St. Martin’s, the authors suggest that when narrating a story the writer keep a few points in mind. To begin with, the writer is advised never to reveal the thesis statement while, but instead save it till the end. The closer to the conclusion the thesis is revealed, therefore more intrigued the audience will remain. Next, it’s strongly suggested the writer keep a past or present verb tense. Third, the author’s give the writer a choice to choose between two narration strategies, scene or summary. Scene, is the act of vividly detailing an event, and summary is the act of relating events concisely. Finally, a great narrated story consist

Up and coming country artist Abi Ann made waves when she announced that she would be joining Kelly Clarkson, Pentatonix and Eric Hutchinson on Clarkson's Piece By Piece Tour. Recently voted Indie Music Channel's Favorite Country Artist and Artist of the Year, Abi Ann is currently supporting her newest EP, 17. The eighteen-year-old musician was the first to take the stage for the July 28 concert in Cincinnati, and she lit up the stage with her energized performance.

I was checking the Miami Heat schedule for next week and they will be playing at home against the Chicago Bulls. That means the return of Dwyane Wade to Miami. I will have to go live to the AA Arena that day.

Assuming the office of chief Superintendent of Education in Upper Canada, Egerton immediately swung into action as he continued to make countless creative, as well as, extensive changes targeted to remodelling the Upper Canada school system whose general control of the school was within his jurisdiction- the Chief Superintendent. Egerton had the prerogative to “set standards for the curriculum; supervised the training, inspection and examination of teachers; and oversaw the selection and distribution of textbooks, through a central depository and press plant which encouraged the publication of works by home-grown authors. Libraries were organized in every school”. (Claude W.D, 2002, para 7)

This year, I have three superb friends. They inspire me to do by best at just about everything. Audrey is inspiring when it comes to Cross Country, something she’s not the best at. Katie motivating when it comes to my writing, and C.j. encourages me to do my best, and always learn more.

I just can’t believe the choices I’ve made. Well most of them. Why do I have such bad luck, especially with Barry? I guess I’ve grown as a person throughout grade 9. Maybe it was all character building. Well looking back it didn’t have to be a big deal. Come the end of the year I care less about what people think because I have good friends. I’m even happier I took up debating as a hobby, it has really helped me with my social ability. Oh and I should have supported James scobie in his battle against Barry, not that he ever looked like needing it. But I’m happy for standing up for what turned out to be Kelly Faulkner’s little brother, after all it’s going to give me a bonus if I choose to ask her out no that was a good choice.

In the historical narrative, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, the narrator is unreliable. In the narrative, Equiano explains his tough journey through slavery and talks about the terrible conditions he went through to make it out of slavery. He states that he was born in Nigeria, but many sources show that he was born in South Carolina. English professor Vincent Carretta found that, “Equiano’s 1759 baptismal records from a London church listed his birthplace as South Carolina, and later uncovered a ship’s muster list from 1773 that also noted Equiano was born in South Carolina” (Carretta 2005). This shows that Equiano was in fact, born in South Carolina. This changes the affect the narrative has on a reader. It shows

Hi Christopher, I think this will make a very interesting topic for our first narrative essay. Having worked in the food service industry myself I can relate to this topic and understand how scary it can be to be thrown in to that type of situation. Especially having trained on the area so long ago, putting you in this position by yourself seems like a sort of trial by fire method. I think it will also provide a good frame for the story explaining your background in the establishment and the unprecedented placement of you in this particular area. The dialogue that you provided paints a very clear picture of the fast paced and high stress environment that you had to overcome. If I’m correct in assuming that this particular story will be framed

Casablanca, to me, is a very unique artifact to study. I think that studying this artifact, is very creative and engaging. One thing that sticks out to me relating Casablanca, is the lighting, as mentioned in a group’s project. When watching film, I tend to overlook the lighting, but when seeing the project, it made me think differently. Every movie filmed has a purpose for every scene, there are no accidents. One scene that stuck out to me was the scene with Ilsa and Rick. In the scene Ilsa looks as if she is glowing , she lights up her area of the room, and lights up the front of Rick, while behind him is dark. In my opinion this scene is symbolizing how Rick is in a dark place, hence the dark lighting behind him. When Ilsa walks into the room, it's like a new Rick appears, which is more brighter. I think it is safe to say that this is no accident at all as far as coming from the producers. In my opinion I think this scene would not be as effective if the lighting was not like this, the message may be completely different. This scene makes me think of a part of my favorite tv show Pretty Little Liars. In Pretty Little Liars, the main antagonist of the show “-A” is revealed. When -A is revealed, the lighting becomes very dark, and there is a sense of darkness, or horror. This lightning fits the scene very well. When this character, who is terrible to the other characters anonymously, is finally revealed, it would not be beneficial to have bright lighting, or a sense of light. Just like the scene from Casablanca, both of these scenes would affect the viewer differently and make them think of these scenes as something different.

I interviewed Julie French, one of my teachers from high school. Julie has been married to the love of her life for thirty-three years, and eight years later they had their daughter. She is fifty-six years old, and has been teaching for twenty-two years. Julie is a science teacher at Lone Grove. Julie’s dedication to the student’s learning, why she chose science, and the relationship between her and her students is why I chose her instead of a different teacher.

All of the trials that Jacobs portrayed throughout the narrative showed that women went through more psychological trauma than men during slavery. Jacobs showed that although people go through things and might have to sacrifice some things, its okay to keep moving and try to get your freedom. I believe that Jacobs' story did need to be heard and that it was smart of her to publish the narrative,because it helped give more insight into why women have such a strong mental state and how as women can overcome situations.

1. I wrote arguments in my persuasive and literary analysis to fulfill standard one. I used my research as evidence and combined that with my prior knowledge to make educated arguments to support my claims. I spent time going through information and analyzing the information to find sufficient evidence.

“Moi soverenyi,” she says in way of greeting, neither a hint of a smile nor a ghost of a frown on her face. She has trained herself to maintain this expression of neutrality in his presence, has coached herself to smother the sneer that longs to make known her contempt for the man that commanded her want like a puppeteer with strings of steel. Strings made of yarn were easy to cut, but the strings that the Darkling used to keep her dancing for her? Impossible to sever.

That was the location of this year’s annual end of the year field trip for this female’s school. Last year was more exiting, but it was the entire high school senior class that was touring. ‘To ensure your future.’ As Ms. Tamiki put it. ‘For the students that are to begin college, or anyone really, who are in need for a loan, Shenterprise was the way to go.’ Mia rolled her eyes as he teacher began her speech in second story main lounge, away from the lower offices so not to disturb anyone who was on call.

When first reading Kate Chopin's "Story of an Hour," one may not typically be surprised at its ending, write it off as one of those creepy "back from the dead" horror stories and forget about it. There is more to this story than simply horror. The author is making a very strong, however subtle, statement towards humanity and women's rights. Through subtle symbolism, Kate Chopin shows how marriage is more like a confining role of servitude rather than a loving partnership.
