Hi Carrie! I agree that the message of morals is largely apparent in this story, and this reminded me of a quote "Who is more wicked: he who kills evil, or he who protects them" (S. Jackson). I liked how you pointed out how the pointed out how Captian Torres' quote of killing not being easy. My question is, if Captain Torres knew that the barber was a rebel informat, why did he put himself in that vulnerable position? In the story the author points out that Captain Torres has ordered executions in the past, and pointed out how hard it is to do so. My take on the matter is that the Captain wants to be punished for what he's done and has given the right to judge him to the barber, someone who has personallly seen what he's done and stands on
When Rainsford stumbles upon General Zaroff’s mansion, he is welcomed with clean clothes and fresh food. “‘Now you want clothes, food, rest. You shall have them ... I was about to have my dinner when you came. I’ll wait for you. You’ll find that my clothes will fit you, I think.’”(Connell 4) According to this quote, General Zaroff welcomes Rainsford into his home warmly and offers him fancy clothes, hot food, and a cozy bed to sleep in. General Zaroff tries to make a good first impression on him by being kind and acting civilized around him to lure him into a false sense of security. After General Zaroff says he hunts humans, Rainsford becomes wary of him. “‘And now,’ said the general, 'I want to show you my new collection of heads. Will you

While reading Go Ask Alice there were a few quotes that stood out to me. The first quote says “How is it possible for me to be so miserable and embarrassed and humiliated and beaten and sill function, still talk and smile and concentrate” (Sparks 2). Being that for years I’ve been battling depression, anxiety, and bulimia it’s insane to think that I’m still alive. I sometimes can’t even believe that I am an actual functioning human being. These disorders took over my life and it was hard to try and fight my way out of it and continue living a normal life.
Thirdly, drugs was a huge issue in this family. Drugs can take a lot of your money away and your life and Bo and Sheila took apart of that life. First off, Sheila had some good life choices beforehand and also wanted to do good in the future. The first example would be her quitting her job. Life went downhill and she used drug and only using drugs to fit in isn’t a good idea. She quit her job because she wanted to do drugs and have a better relationship with Bo thinking things would fall together if they do the same wrong things.
The diction in this quote contributes to the voice of the narrator, a teenage girl named Melinda. The use of the nickname “Basketball Pole” indicates immaturity and makes the voice sound more youthful. The quote uses imagery as well. When Anderson writes “thwap,” she is appealing to the reader’s sense of hearing to create a clearer picture of what is happening in the cafeteria. This quote also shows Melinda’s embarrassment without directly stating it. When Melinda “bolts” from the cafeteria, the reader understands her humiliation without Anderson explicitly stating it. The way this quote portrays the events happening in the cafeteria contribute to the narrator’s teen voice. The words used aren’t too sophisticated, but actually sound like the
On the other hand, Madela used quotes to further explain his thoughts, and thought process, to all of the people who looked at him disgustedly. His quotes actually helped him understand what he was trying to say; without his quotes he would be a nervous wreck, titanic. He affected quotes by adding meaning instead of just dumb sayings that no one understands; Madela has affected all aspects of literature.
He was ...how y'all call it....antisocial. He just didn't do anything with people. He was crazy....violent...he
“[The Rosenbergs' execution] had nothing to do with me, but I couldn't help wondering what it would be like, being burned alive along your nerves.
Did you ever done something that you regret it, I am sure that almost all of us done something that we regret almost every day. In this novel, a poor man tried to hold someone for ransom, but it did not turn out well. Man Ain’t you hungry the man asked the man gave them food if they light up the fire during the night of their furnace. The narrator says why You Reckon. The narrator goes place to place often, but no place is his permeant.
I believe that the theme of The Outsiders is that: “Not everybody is like what you think they are”. This is proven to be true because of these next three paragraphs show how.
In “The Catcher In The Rye” by J.D Salinger why would i think it’s still relevant to teenager today? By the meaning of this quote “Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody.” i would think it relevant to today i cause most teens would think people wants flower on their grave but it just out of respect . Some reason why i think it's relevant to teen today cause teens lack of communication skills, poor grades in school, and from being a kid to an adult.
The quote “We may conclude… that any change in the numerical proportions of some of the inhabitants, independently of the change of climate itself, would most seriously affect many of the others.” means that if you change one thing it can have an affect on many other thing and or people. In the book viola makes the meals for the family and keeps them eating well. She makes special dishes for holidays and events and makes cakes for every ones birthday. She gives an effect that viola is very independent and supports the family and she makes a difference and an impact. Another meaning of this quote from the origin of species is that viola is the change is the numerical proportions which means she is older and she has more experience than callie
I have never seen the general so despondent I have taken over writing all his correspondence. Congress writes “George, attack the British forces!” I shoot back, we have resorted to eating our horses.

For World War I left men wound mentally and physically. About thirty-one percent of the men were either wounded in the line of fire or had nightmares of what happen in the trenches (Brose, 111). For example, a soldier named Paul saw his fellow soldier, Behm get struck in the eye with a shell in the line of fire (Remarque, 12). These sights caused men to repress their worries because they did not want to die in the war. In order for them to survive, they had to come to the realization to repress the questions of why they were fighting and what they were fighting for out of their minds (Remarque, 138).
