An individual can’t be influenced by their own selves but also the people that are surrounding him/her. It is due to the pressure that others put on the individual which impacts against him/her greatly as they are forced to accept it and go with it. Going with something that is not completely accepted by the individuals will ultimately cause them to feel rejection. A poet, Peter Skrzynecki, speaks of his personal experience which is strongly connected to belonging. An example is St Patrick’s college where he went to a school and felt like he didn’t learn anything from there even though he spent quite a long time there. Feliks Skrzynecki, another poem written by Peter, its where the persona talks about his father who is not Australian living
In the book Projekt 1065, Michael O’Shaunessey is thirteenth year old, Irish boy. He is apart of the Hitler Youth, but he doesn’t like Hitler rule. He feels sympathetic for the Jewish people and wants to help the Allies take away Hitler rule by spying. Michael is talking about the uniform he has to wear he states, ‘I feel like a traitor wearing it.”(page 26, paragraph 3) He only stays apart of it because he hopes to get information about Hitler to give to his parents. Michael likes to be a lone wolf so one ask him questions. He has a really good memory which helps him learn German easily and keep secret information he find well. For example a woman says to him, “Your German is good. If I didn’t know your father was the Irish ambassador, I
n ‘Holes’ by Louis Sachar, between the book and the film, there are numerous differences, specifically in Chapter 30. For starters, on page 131 (Paragraph 3 and 4), when Zigzag claims that it his birthday, in the book he receives an additional carton of Orange Juice from Mr. Sir whereas in the film he doesn’t. On page 131 of the book (paragraph 8), whilst Zero dug Stanley’s hole for an hour or so, Stanley wanders around and occasionally sits somewhere off in the distance. Whereas, in the film, Zero and Stanley dig Stanley’s hole together, but he still gained rude comments from the other campers in Group D in both instances. Plus, Stanley isn’t fat or even slightly overweight whilst in the book he is so it’s as if Stanley is portrayed as a different character entirely!
Through the study of the records of courts, both secular and ecclesiastical, which exists in thousands of European and American archives and libraries, a patient and careful researcher can reconstruct particular images of “the world we have lost” and of the people who inhabited that world. From this vast, largely untapped repository of judicial records, Gene Brucker uses the notarial protocols of Ser Filippo Mazzei, which contains the transcripts of the litigation in the archiepiscopal court and the catasto records, which provides information about Florentine households, to piece together the dossier of Giovanni and Lusanna. The story of Giovanni and Lusanna explores the love and marriage in renaissance Florence and uncovers the gradation of the city’s social hierarchy and the role of women in society.

Josquin des Prez was a well-known French composer during the Renaissance period. He is believed to have be born in the County of Hainaut, Belgium between 1450-1455. However, some scholars believe he was born across the border in France but either way he was a legal Frenchman at his death. There is very little information about his family other than his aunt and uncle claimed him as their heir before their death. He began his musical career as a choirboy at the Church at Saint-Quentin. He greatly admired Ockeghem and even wrote a lament for his death in 1497. In the early 1470s, Josquin began his singing career at Cambrai and later moved to the chapel of Rene. After his years at Rene, he moved to Milan, Italy and became the employee of the Sforza
A seminar series titled “The Last Lecture” took place at Carnegie Mellon University. Professors were prompted to deliver lectures as if it was their last, while containing a “message of a lifetime”. Professor Randy Pausch delivered his speech titled “Achieving Your Childhood Dreams” as a part of this seminar on September 18th, 2007, a time in which had just been given life-threatening news. It had recently been estimated by doctors that this was the last three to six months of his life. Instead of speaking as if he was hypothetically dying like his fellow professors, Pausch was in an extremely ironic situation, as for in his case he really was dying, of pancreatic
Welterweight champion Benny Paret was renowned for his ability to receive a hit, and had taken years of punishment in order to obtain his championship. Yet he proved, he was the greatest every time he stepped in the ring. However, all good things will come to an end. In the past two years, the fifteen round fights began to destroy his body. Eventually, it all would result in a tragic end. As the story draws to a close, the genre and the theme unfold. It becomes clear the author is emotionally invested, which allows for an in depth and personal view of the story. In the end, we are able to relate more than one would simply assume, and the lesson we learn is we are not the gods we all attempt to be.

Junius Edwards and James White used several methods to persuade their audiences. One method that was obvious between both people was the use of a personal story to allow the audience to understand what exactly was going on. Even though White told an actual story and Edwards was fictional both of these stories felt very personal and that allowed the reader to get frustrated, laugh, become sad, etc. In both stories they crafted them in such a way that you got frustrated when White was declined a hotel room or when Will got asked an abundance of questions. There is a difference between a bundle of words that are meaningless to a story that triggers your emotions and you can connect to. Another thing both Edwards and White did was create a clear
Another comparison and contrast between Charles Dickens, Alexis De Tocqueville, and Fanny Trollope is how they managed and experienced life within the newly found Americas.
