Mr. Alexander: A Narrative Analysis

On 10/28/12 at approximately 1330 hours, Deputy J. Berner and I (Deputy M. Young) was dispatched to 2712 Dwight Road in reference to a domestic disturbance. Upon arrival, I met with, Mrs. Tiffany Howell (complainant).

On August 5, 2016 at 6:20 am I held Aaron Mills after the morning check in to discuss a situation that arose at Annandale High School. Present at the meeting was Craig Carney, Liaison and Steve Passino, HVAC Supervisor. The previous day Aaron was responding to a service call for the Athletic Directors office area Rooftop B1. Upon arrival at the jobsite I twice questioned Aaron if he had thoroughly checked out the Rooftop unit. Aaron responded “YES”. I then asked if he had checked the Freon charges in the system and Aaron responded “NO” as this is critical to a units operation. Prior to our arrival Aaron had informed Joe Lanham and Ed Bowler that everything was checked out on the Rooftop unit. While inspecting Rooftop B1 Steve Passino asked

Alexander, at the age of 25, started working at the local bank as a teller. During his time there, he became great friends with another 25 year old teller, Samantha. While having a lunch break discussion, Samantha told Alexander that her daughter, Avery, is extremely ill and that she requires an operation in order to survive. She also told him that she does not have any medical insurance and the operation will cost about $7,500. Some time later, Alexander asked Samantha about Avery’s condition and in response Samantha told him that Avery recovered. She then confides in Alexander that she borrowed the money from a dormant account at the bank to pay for the operation. Samantha assured Alexander that she has already started paying back the money and will continue to do so until it is all returned. Should Samantha have taken the money? Should Alexander report this case to the human resource?

s a class, we will read the story Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst, published by Atheneum Books for Young Readers. After, we will discuss the book in terms of organization (why did she organize the book the way she did?, why is organization important to this book?, would you change the organization of the book?). In partners, students will create a diagram of the book using a graphic organizer. This helps my students recognize that their writing pieces have to be in a logical order.

Alan Brito is a friend of mine from childhood. When we were young, he and I, along with a bunch of other kids from my neighborhood, used to play tops, marbles and “twenty-one”. We had a top contest in which those who could spin the top in the air with the string, pull it back and place it on top of the palm of their hand, was the winner. At the risk of sounding pretentious, I was almost always the winner. For that reason, they nicknamed me “Toppy”. Two of my other friends, Gilly and Billy were rivals. They were very good at playing “twenty-one.” They were unbeatable. Every time we played together they beat me. I was always afraid of playing against them, because I was quite sure that by the end of the game, I would be left with no money in my pockets. In time, Gilly and Billy got married and left the country. They moved to Saint Maurice, a small paradisiac island in the Pacific Ocean.

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, is a moving written account of Frederick Douglass’ harrowing experiences as a slave, and his journey into freedom. In his critical essay “Douglass and Sentimental Rhetoric,” Jefferey Steele argues, that despite being objective, Douglass’ account is mixed with Pathos, complicating the straightforward chronicle. While pathos is evident in the text, it does not complicate the memoir’s straightforwardness. In fact, Douglass’ straightforward tone naturally co-exists with the pathos in his story. Douglass’ logically driven narrative is emotional within itself, and by providing the logical sequences he creates pathos, because

That is true Antonio and wells said. I have a best friend back in Miami and she could con the shirt off your back and you would be non the wiser. She is originally from Chicago, so Id always call her slicker then Crisco. But, I say this to say that she is very intelligent as well as a bright women, and we both graduated at the top of our classes. She would always apply her street smarts to her books and I never could figure out how she did it. She would stay in the office getting into trouble, or for talking back to the teachers. But, in that same breath could answer the questions without any hesitation and get the answers right. I sit back and watch her now with her son and she will always say to me " Girl my son doesn't have the street smarts

“You look at the greatest villains in human history, the fascists, the people autocrats, they all wanted to kneel before them because they didn’t love themselves enough.” What it means to be a villain is someone whose evil actions or motives affect others life. Alexander did just this he ruined cultures and pieces of land. Some people believed that Alexander was a hero but what people against this don’t realize what he does. Alexander The Great is a villain because he was conceited, he neglected his own kingdom, and he was a murderer.

The Huffington Post states, “Black and Latino students are three times more likely to be imprisoned before they are enrolled in a college or university” and, “The college degree gap grows wider between whites and African-Americans contributing to less Black CEO’s, leaders, and businesses”. There is no doubt that there is a direct correlation between knowledge and imprisonment; the higher the learning, the lower the probability of a Black man or woman being put into a penal institution. Some would say that today’s correctional facilities share the characteristics of slavery. In Fredrick Douglass’s Narrative, he elaborates that education is what saved him, ultimately getting him on the pathway to freedom, away from being enslaved. Although in today’s

Slavery is terrible and hurts slaves and corrupts slave owners. Slaves are whipped until they do what was told or if they don’t finish. Slave owners were good people, but they were corrupted with too much power. In the “Narrative”, Douglass talks about how slavery is bad for slaves and slave owners.

“Sincerely and earnestly hoping that this little book may do something toward throwing light on the American slave system, and hastening the glad day of deliverance to the millions of my brethren in bonds … relying upon the power of truth, love, and justice, for success in my … efforts and solemnly pledging myself anew to the sacred cause, I subscribe myself” (Douglass 76). With these words, Frederick Douglass (c. 1817-1895), an emancipated slave with no formal education, ends one of the greatest pieces of propaganda of the 19th century America: that slavery is good for the slave. He writes his autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave, as an abolitionist tool to shape his

Your affiants followed KEHLER out of the Gold Star plaza and observed a faulty brake light which did not illuminate. KEHLER turned left on State Route 924 North. He then signaled right indicating to move into the driving lane and when doing so his passenger side turn signal was not illuminating. Captain O'Neill activated the emergency lights, conducting a vehicle stop on the vehicle on State Route 924 in the area of Furnace

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is a personal account of Douglass’ life as a former slave. This narrative is unique in that Douglass had been subjugated to slavery in an area perceived as being more considerate to slaves in comparison to other states. Despite this misconception, Douglass’ account provides numerous illustrations of how he and his fellow slaves were grossly mistreated

Prompt: Douglass maintains that slavery dehumanized both the slave and the slaveholder. Quoting specific passages in the Narrative support this thesis with examples.

I woke up to another day, waiting to be filled with learning and adventure. As I got out of my sleeping pod, a red, cylindrical tube dropped from the place directly above me. I knew better than to let it hit the ground. My tube I had been given last night had cracked open, and still hadn’t been noticed by our as the nutrients that came from these meals were to the wellbeing of all Unders.
