Hi Rikki,
I liked your interpretation for the stanzas that you have chosen. For instance, I agree with your viewpoint that “ … Morinaga ended up trusting his teacher the most and always reference back to those experiences”. I do think trust is a major idea from Morinaga’s story, especially considering the lack of trust he initially demonstrated, and his development over time. In all, I agree that he does want us to learn from his experiences, and how trust is something that goes both

Approximately 20 Hamakua Coast residents gathered on 4/30 at Your Turn in Honokaa for their first meeting as the Friends of Honokaa Park. This group was brought together by the vision and energy of Michelle Suber, N.P., who decided that she could help bring about a change in the way that Hawaii Island parks are maintained. Suber reached out to her friends and community members on the island to join her to support a greener Hawaii by alleviating the use of herbicides - specifically RoundUp - in Waimea Park, Isaac Hale Park, and in our own Honokaa Park.
Thanks for your response and follow-up question. One would assume that a sound psychological research, from which questionnaires are developed, is based on evidence to support reliability and validity in the sample population. It would be naive nonetheless, not to recognize that participants would invariably want to manage the way they appear in responding to the questions, regardless of assurances of anonymity (Hoskin, 2012). This is likely because most self-reporting questions require some degree of introspection, through which process an individual may be required to assess him or herself accurately. Because of the natural desire to manage one’s image however, the responses provided through self-report inventories are bound
Natural forms of chimerism can also cause issues in paternity and maternity testing for unintentionally omitted children of a will. Consider In Re Estate of Dicksion, an Oklahoma Supreme Court case that dealt with this exact issue. In Dicksion, Thomas Powell, an alleged son of the decedent born out of wedlock, argued that he was a pretermitted son of the deceased. To support this contention, Powell presented a posthumous paternity test of the decedent showing parentage. The trial court admitted the DNA test but another heir of the decedent challenged whether a posthumous DNA test could be used in probate proceedings. The Supreme Court determined that posthumous paternity tests were admissible in probate proceedings, holding “it is illogical

Chapter 5 of They Say I Say is a very interesting chapter because it talks about improving your writing. In the chapter, they talk about learning how to state your own opinion without sounding biased. I believe that one great example of this is when the author exclaims, “I have a problem with what liberals call cultural differences.” This type of writing is important because you can express your own views and opinions without sounding biased. This type of writing only works if you can integrate parts of their argument into your own. Another method discussed in this text was using references to things you said prior to that. One good example of this could be when it states that,“ We would argue that voice markers we identified earlier, are extremely
“From the Intimate Lyrics,” shows a woman crying, but her tears are words from a book. This represents what happened to Montag when he began to read the books and look into the subjects of happiness versus unhappiness. The books open up a door to a realm of feeling and thought for Montag. The woman in Furtado’s piece of art, is crying because of something she read. She too, is feeling from this new realm of words. Both works push through the idea that books show a different world to the reader. To both the woman and Montag, it showed them that what they thought was truth and happiness, wasn’t. Montag loses his wife and job to trying to find happiness, chance society, and protect the books. The woman loses her happiness over what was read to her, hence her crying. From Montag’s journey and the meaning behind “The Intimate Lyrics,” a reader could gather, that books and words written or said can indeed reveal their deepest
The poem’s structure as a sonnet allows the speaker’s feelings of distrust and heartache to gradually manifest themselves as the poem’s plot progresses. Each quatrain develops and intensifies the speaker’s misery, giving the reader a deeper insight into his convoluted emotions. In the first quatrain, the speaker advises his former partner to not be surprised when she “see[s] him holding [his] louring head so low” (2). His refusal to look at her not only highlights his unhappiness but also establishes the gloomy tone of the poem. The speaker then uses the second and third quatrains to justify his remoteness; he explains how he feels betrayed by her and reveals how his distrust has led him
Being proud can be a good or bad thing depending on what the circumstance is. For example, if someone had killed lots of people for no possible reason and they were proud of doing it, then that proudness is evil and cruel. However, say that person had killed those people because they were terrorists and would have killed far more people for no reason. Now, that person has a right to be proud for what they did. The book Rikki-Tikki-Tavi by Rudyard Kipling is about a frightened, but brave mongoose who saved a family. However, he had to kill snakes and snake eggs to save the family. In the end, the book implies these exact words, “Rikki-tikki had a right to be proud of himself, but did not grow too proud…” After all Rikki-Tikki had done, he should have a right to be proud of himself because he just saved a whole family, he saved the living things in the garden, plus, he simply used self-defense.
These details led to him finding his final destination- the railroad tracks, which he compared to “the single familiar thing, the magic charm he might need a little while.” When the author says this, it gives the reader a glimpse of Montag’s attitude towards his situation which is a tone of being very grateful and appreciative. By calling the path a magic charm, it makes the reader think that Montag highly values it. To add, in the conclusion he makes the realization that Clarisse had once walked there. At this point, he also discovers that she was the sole person who changed his life. Because of this discovery, Montag makes the assumption that he wouldn’t be in the situation if he hadn’t met Clarisse. Therefore, Montag’s attitude of appreciation is described perfectly when he makes this
Many college students find themselves struggling, while trying to write papers in their English classes. This book was written to help you though these struggles. They say/I say by Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein is a book that was designed to help students be better writers. I think that this book is absolutely a huge help to anyone in need of becoming a much more confident and better writer. This book has helped me learn how to write more structured sentences and how to form them in ways that sound better and are also more grammatically correct than before. I have learned how to properly demonstrate and use many writing techniques such as making quotations, playing the believing game, how to write strong summaries, how to plant a “naysayer”, and incorporate “so what?” and “who cares?” into my writing. This book can be extremely helpful to anyone in need of assistance or for people interested in
In each of the poems, both Medusa and the Duke of Ferrara represent the fickleness of power and how it fluctuates in daily life. Duffy’s manipulation of a paradox within ‘Medusa’ displays the extent to which power plays a part in the Greek myth of Medusa. The extended metaphor of Medusa with “filthy snakes” that “hissed and
Throughout the novel Morrie puts a special emphasis on the importance of loving relationships with those you care about. He even believes that people must “love each other or parish” (Albom 149). Though to most this assertion may seem incongruous, it really means that, to have a healthy, productive life, one must surround oneself with those that understand and love them that they understand and love in return. This theme is discussed in Meribah Abbott’s poem, “The Best Friend”. The poem describes the relationship between a dog and its crippled master. It exposes the importance of unconditional love in the last line when stating, “Ye taught me trust when man's dull logic failed” ( Abbott 11). This last line is undeniably the most important when attempting to describe the importance of loving relationships. It demonstrates how, by loving others, a person can improve upon themselves. Morrie also believed that love was what gave meaning to life.
In the poems “The Wanderer” and “The Dream of the Rood,” anonymous authors give way to the idea that an Almighty God will solve every problem a person has by doing two things: 1) drawing upon the memories of a warrior who has lost everything near and dear to him due to war, and 2) entering the dream of a man who has been exiled and isolated. Each piece takes its reader through the trials and tribulations that one may not relate to in this era, yet the reader is still there alongside the character wanting them to find peace with their world and themselves. Initially, it is believed that the characters will overcome their hardships and achieve the happiness they seek. However, as the reader delves deeper into the character’s story, there is an overwhelming sense of incompleteness. What actually happens at the end of each piece is not written in stone - telling us the story is not whole - nor has a conclusion been reached. The intrapersonal thoughts being shared with the reader reveal the obstacles that keep an overall wholeness from occurring.
Furthermore, we have the use of first person, where the almost universal effect is to have an in-depth look into the character and their immediate response to a problem or dilemma. This poem no different, where in the first stanza we are ushered in with the use of anaphora in lines 2, 3 and 4 with the repetition of the word ‘’and’’. This specific use of anaphora is used to create the mindset and intelligible deduction of the traveller to the events and dilemma prescribed to him. Insofar as his immediate reaction be being presented with a choice. It shows his reaction of regret in that he is ‘’sorry he could not travel both’’ and explains what he wish he could do ‘’be two travellers’’ but also how he initiates his decision making process ‘’looked down one as far as I could’’. Also, the use of first person is used to connect with the reader, enforcing the affore-used notion that the reader substitutes their own personal truth into a positive
