The first quote I would like to share is, “The church was not only a social hub but also a constant reminder of that dangerous era when the U.S. government wanted Mohegans removed from the hill” (Fawcett, 12). I found this important to our readings because of the interconnection and symbol the church was to the Mohegans’ community. It represented their strength in standing their ground to their traditions and region in which they resided in with the hopes of the U.S. government to leave them alone. This type of establishment taught Gladys Tantaquidgeon to cherish the education she was being provided at home of learning the Mohegan traditions. Gladys showed a promising future to inherit the Mohegan traditions in which three nanus or otherwise

In Night by Elie Wiesel there were many quotes that stuck out to me, or had meaning that aligned with my personal experiences. The first quote I chose came from when Elie and his family and friends were in the cattle care and Mrs. Schachter started yelling about a fire, no one could see the fire and just assumed that she was going mad. “Standing in the middle of the wagon, in the pale light from the windows, she looked like a withered tree in a cornfield.

Creon believed that he was arête because as he puts it, "...I have the throne, all royal power..." leading a reader to believe that he is arrogant as well as in belief that he is an excellent leader. Arête means excellence of any kind and that "excellence has Creon written all over it. Creon feels as though he was arête, or excellent, because he created laws and decrees in which challenged the gods, or caused hubris, and in turn saw no consequence for his actions until it was too late. Creon challenges the gods by refusing to bury Polynices, calling all of his advisors idiots, and by not listening to the warnings given to him. Creon gives an example of humiliation of advisors when he states, "Stop now- before what you're about to say enrages

First off, I really liked your response due to the fact that I also addressed this question, and I was able to gain a different insight from your discussion board on things I did not include in my response.

Min is a potter from the town of Ch'ulp'o that processes many weaknesses. One major weakness of Min is that he is too much of a perfectionist. One One quote that shows Min is a perfectionist is "If ever you learn to make a pot it will not be for me... The potter's trade goes from father to son," on page 95 from the book "A Single Shard". This quote proves that Min will always follow the rules regardless of anything else. A perfectionist is one who always follows the rules and needs everything to be exact. The quote above shows that Min will not teach anyone but his own son to make a pot. Unfortunately for Min, his son died. Another quote that one would say proves Min is a perfectionist is "Min never failed to reject his first attempt."

Greed is perhaps one of the most destructive forces in this world, it breeds anger, hate, jealousy, and more. The novella “The Pearl” is based on how the finding of a pearl causes greed to be awakened in the hearts of people and cause them to commit evil.

All of them are forced by greed to commit sins that they otherwise would not do.

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.

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 quote I chose was, "Put God first and you will never be last" by anonymous. There could be numerous of meanings to this quote but I chose this it because with god nothing can go wrong.

This quote is important as it creates imagery, reflects on the main theme of family, and touches on Germany’s history. Firstly, the author is creating imagery with her use of simile. When she writes, “a rotten stench hit her like a fist”, she uses ‘like’ to describe Sarah’s feelings more vividly.
