Look Behind You Summary

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

In David B. Tyack’s “Ways of Seeing: An Essay on the History of Compulsory Schooling”, multiple lenses are used to analyze compulsory schooling in order to provide different observations.

The symbolic stage lasted from the mid-nineteenth century to around 1890 and was when several states began passing compulsory-attendance legislations. In the bureaucratic stage, which began before the turn of the twentieth century, school systems began to become bigger and more complex with school officials developing techniques to bring in absentees to school. By the end of the bureaucratic stage in the 1950s,

Junior believes that his world is limited because he is Native American. He also describes how this belief is reflected onto his family and many, if not all of the people on the reservation. Junior believes that Native Americans are silenced because of their race, and the only way he can communicate with the world is if he is an artist.

These minor characters play a major role in the plot.

The result of these characteristics give each story suspense and mystery, leaving the readers wondering what each character will do next and what further action will take place. Characters hold a primary role in determining the outcome of a story, which is the reasoning behind the many similarities and differences among literary characters. Also, a clear example is the similar plots with two completely different outcomes.

While some characters are considered minor, their impact is anything but unimportant. It tends to be the people who attain the least recognition that have the biggest effect overall. This is why authors, like Orwell, are able to use characters like O’Brien and Charrington to move the character development along.. In the novel, 1984 by George Orwell, Julia, who appears to have selfish beliefs, shifts her views of freedom after Charting gives her a safe space, and O’Brien shifts her view on love after he tortures her.

Yann Martel’s Life of Pi is a prime literary example of the major impacts the roles of minor characters have on the plot of a story. Without such characters as the protagonist’s father, uncle, and brother, the entirety of the main characters’ lives would be shifted dramatically. So much, in fact, that the events of the novel may never have occurred had these secondary characters been absent.

In chapter seven of John Berger’s Ways of Seeing the author describes his thoughts on the effect of publicity images. He finds publicity problematic and argues that consumption is turned into democracy through the use of publicity. Publicity images surround us and are a part of our everyday modern lives. Something is always there whether it is on the internet or in a magazine constantly trying to convince us of something the creator is trying to portray. Each image for that couple seconds of time effects that memory we have and the images are constantly changing.
