I read the chapter “The Newcomers”, the book first starts off by stating how France started sending explorers to find new lands. When Francis I, (The king of France) sent Jacque Cartier, his job was to find a shipping route and precious gems and metals. Jacque Cartier arrived at Newfoundland and from there journeyed down to Prince Edward Island. Chief Donnacona went with his brother and two sons protest the cross, but the French convinced Donnacona to allow Jacque Cartier to take his two sons Domagaya and Taignoagny.

The book opens on Oct. 26, 1775 with King George III making a procession in his grand coach/horse drawn carriage, pulled by eight massive majestic horses. The entire coach itself was a symbol of England’s many colonies and extreme wealth. The king’s attire wasn’t usually very grand. He preferred the life of a farmer at Windsor and the company of his wife to court duties. The “madness” for which he was long remembered was really porphyria, an inherited disease. Though not a militaristic man, he had no doubt that the misbehaving colonies must be made compliant. The war under Howe and Washington officially began in Lexington and Concord and then Bunker Hill, and it made him uneasy. He

In Chapter 7 of the novel “Doing School”, Denise Clark Pope, a Stanford Alumni and Senior Lecturer at Stanford, describes Faircrest High School functions and how the upsides and downsides present themselves throughout the school’s system and how they “do school.” Based on Pope’s claims “Doing school” is when students are not engaged with learning and they don’t commit themselves to school or the values that the school has. Pope observes the school’s five “best and brightest” students and their behaviors over one year to discover what these young people do to get “good grades, win awards, pursue extracurricular interests, do community service, and help teachers and administrators.” She uncovers the truth behind achieving great success in school: the students are thought to be hard working, intelligent, and

When his hand left her for a few fleeting moments, it took all she had not to whine and beg for more attention. With heat pooling between her legs, a quivering in her thighs, and dampnesss most _certainly_ beginning to form, every touch felt like enough to make her go _crazy_. She was weaker than she wished to let on, and it took every ounce of self control to stop herself from losing what little composure she had left - She wanted him, _only_ him, and he was all her mind allowed her to think about. Dementia's sharp fangs were close to sinking into his flesh again, pressure barely clamping down -

Once long siege of Storm's End was ended by Eddard Stark, Stannis collapsed from heavy fatigue. When he woke up, his personality changed drastically. What caused the change was a mystery, but he became a plain-looking, somewhat charismatic, but frivolous man.

Haught in chapter 5 finds fault by the new atheists to describe their belief in an evolutionary way. Also, he disagrees that an evolutionary statement does not rule out a accessorial religious or religious clarification. He continuously points out the perspective that the new atheists us the term “faith” in an incorrect way. “The state of being drawn toward or being grasped by something of utmost importance,” Haught states. When the term “faith” is applied the correct way a spiritual reason furthermore to an evolutionary one is not difficult.

The defendant was an immense man, well over 300 pounds, but in the gravity of his sorrow and shame he seemed larger still. He hunched forward in the sturdy wooden armchair that barely contained him, sobbing softly into tissue after tissue, a leg bouncing nervously under the table. In the first pew of spectators sat his wife, looking stricken, absently twisting her wedding band. The room was a sepulcher. Witnesses spoke softly of events so painful that many lost their composure. When a hospital emergency room nurse described how the defendant had behaved after the police first brought him in, she wept. He was virtually catatonic, she remembered, his eyes shut tight, rocking back and forth, locked away in some unfathomable private torment. He

This chapter also prepares the reader for the immediate rough justice of the lynch mob at the end of the novella. Furthermore this also shows how one can get his hopes up but justs like in the poem Of mice and men, “The best laind schemes o' mice an' me. Gang aft agley, An'lea'e us nought but grief an' pain, For promised joy.” This is another message John Steinbeck is trying to convey, there is always a person like Curley's wife or the ploughshare or the heron who can lance upon your dream and shatter them in an instant. Furthermore as we can relate to the characters it shows how violence is used every single

In the selection, she portrays a descriptive language when describing C. Hervey’s character. One literary element that she uses is diction. She uses words such as “chameleon” character, “imprudent”, “wild”, and “eccentric”. By using these words, she is showing us a better picture of Hervey’s personality. Chameleon is a very distinctive and highly specialized lizard. Imprudent is saying that he doesnt care about the consequences for his actions, which also goes with the word wild. Eccentric means that on top of everything else, he is also slightly strange. Another literary element that she uses is juxtaposition. Another example in line 53, “Consequently he saw Belinda almost every day, and every day he saw her with increasing admiration of her beauty, and with increasing dread of being taken in to marry a niece of ‘the catch-match-maker’, the name by which Mrs. Stanhope was known amongst the men of his acquaintance.” By saying this, she is showing contrast by saying that she admires her for beauty and attracted to her, but yet he has a fear of marrying her. The narrator’s descriptive language helps define Clarence’s complex

‘I hope you will give your mother-in-law a few hints, when this desirable event takes place, as to the advantage of holding her tongue; and if you can compass it, do cure the younger girls of running after the officers...’
