The quote is saying that with food we are not just buying and consuming the food there is more to the meaning. In the reading it states that, “ people use food to speak with each other, to establish rules of behavior…and to reveal what you are.” At the table one could order something around the price range as the other person to communicate that you are trying to be kind and conscious of the other person’s money. Another example from the reading to discuss the meaning of the quote is, “Cuisines also prescribe the way food is to be eaten—a set of manners, codes of etiquette.” The way you eat shows the behavior of food. If the person you are dining with is being polite and eating with their mouth closed, speaking after the food is chewed and

This book follows the day to day life of a group of patients of how the go from acting like machines to becoming their own person. The author uses machinery to show that everyone is the same and has to be a perfect robot. When they are able to fit in and just go with the crowd, they are not humans. As the book moves on with McMurphy, the machinery quotes goes down and it shows how people are being there own person. "The ward is a factory for the combine. It's for fixing up mistakes made in the neighborhood in the schools and in the churches, the hospital is. "(Kesey 40).
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
The sound rang in your ears, his limp body fell to the ground, and your hand shook with the weight of your gun, and the blood of the person you just killed; your best friend. In Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, George’s best friend is lying dead in front him, Lennie, who like George is just a character but is mentally disabled. And although Lennie may have killed Curley’s wife and is now in danger, George murdering Lennie doesn’t solve any issues. George was not justified in killing Lennie because they could’ve run away like they did in Weed, George betrayed Lennie’s trust, and by killing Lennie George shows he is a hypocrite to his own rules.
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.
Sometimes, things can be rough. In this fantastic book by S.E. Hinton- The Outsiders, the story starts off with a boy named Ponyboy. WHen his brother gets mad at him, he runs away, expecting to return the next morning. That is all turned upside down when his friend Johnny kills a boy. They run away to Windrixville together. Then, on their way back, they spot a burning church and run inside and save the children trapped in the back. Johnny is seriously injured by a piece of burning wood. Throughout the next chapters, the boys are preparing for the big fight against an enemy gang, the Socs. After the fight, which they win, Pony and his buddy Dallas WInston go and see JOhnny in the hospital one last time before he died. Dallas, who is overrun
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.
Ponder this thought…. A world where jobs are assigned to people, there are no colors, there is no weather, and rules after rules after rules. It would be impossible to live in a place like this. I would not want to live in the society from The Giver. The Giver society is a tough place to live, therefore I would not want to. In this society, people don’t have the freedom of choice, they don’t have normal, everyday objects, and there is extremely strict rules. Overall, this society is not the place for me.
Elie Wiesel’s quote is important to me and many of my peers because he lets us know that it does not require a lot to be done for the right thing to happen or the best moral choice to be done. In the quote he says, “... there is always a moment when the moral choice is made. Often because of one story or one book or one person, we are able to make a different choice, a choice for humanity, for life”. For me, my grandmother, a woman who positively contributes to her city, country, and community, has influenced my ethical decision making. Anyone who knows my grandmother knows she is a woman who has strong morals. When I was young she gave me talks about doing the right thing just because it is the right thing to do.
The book The Philadelphia Chromosome by Jessica Wapner follows the story of how a fatal disease called Chronic Myeloid Leukemia became one of the first targets of kinase inhibitors for targeted cancer therapies. Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) affects only a small number of people (an estimated 8,500 diagnoses this year), but was until recently considered a fatal disease. Gleevec, a drug created by Novartis (mostly) that targeted the BCR/ABL protein in CML patients. This protein causes a tyrosine kinase to uncontrollably phosphorylate myeloid cells in bone marrow. The BCR/ABL protein is caused by a gene mutation known as The Philadelphia Chromosome, which is an abnormality in chromosome 22.
“Knowledge is power” Sir Francis Bacon. Atticus, a character in To kill a Mockingbird, understands that his knowledge has the power to do many things, including influence the lives of many people. Atticus does his best to influence his children, and educate them every chance he gets. Atticus does his best to teach his children what is right and what is wrong, and in doing this Atticus made one point immensely clear. It is a sin to kill a Mockingbird.
“The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience” (Lee 140). This quote was written by novelist Harper Lee in her novel To Kill A Mockingbird. It was spoken by the character Atticus, who was explaining why he, as a lawyer, had to defend his client, a black man named Tom Robinson, or he would lose his good conscience. In other words, Atticus is saying that a person’s conscience is their own and can’t be influenced by others, no matter how many people think that you are wrong about an opinion. Due to this belief, Atticus takes Tom Robinson’s seemingly impossible case and fights, which spurs him on to teach his children, Scout and Jem, many lessons about life. Scout and Jem learn these lessons from both Atticus himself
“First of all,' he said, 'If you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view-”

Attention Deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopment psychiatric disorder which affects the executive functions of the body. For many people suffering from the disorder, they have issues with paying attention to a particular issue for a long period. They also exhibit signs of hyperactivity and impulsiveness which is not in line with an individual’s age (NIH, 2014). The symptoms of the disease normally occur in the children aged between six to twelve and have to persist for approximately six months for a diagnosis to be made. Many school going children that suffer from ADHD develop symptoms such as lack of attention which normally lead to poor performance in their tests and exams. Many people do not know the implications of having ADHD and for some the cases go undetected for a long period (ADHD Health, n.d). There are those individuals that do not suffer from the disease but since the medication enables one to have more concentration on an issue, they abuse the drug for their benefits. Before I was diagnosed with the disease, my parents could not understand my poor performance and I could not understand why it was so hard for me to concentrate in class no matter how hard I tried. The dismal results that I continued to display in school and lack of attention even when I was at home made my parents take me to the hospital for tests that indicated that I suffer from ADHD. For me, I did not quite understand how this happened but I was put on medication that
