Sergeant-Major's Warnings: Summary

He looked up and down Cimarron Street, the cool breeze ruffling his blond hair,”(Matheson 31). We see how the seasons change throughout the stories because the spring and summer months show us a gradual build of hope and success, but we also see how it goes through fall and winter and this is where we get the gloomy and depressing feel behind the

Throughout the story, the mood becomes more suspenseful. As Janet walks out of the strong spring storm and enters her cold damp house, she is overcome by feelings of isolation and loneliness. Her husband is not there; there are dead plants

4. He said he felt sorry for her because he knew how her father treated her. He would beat her for the slightest thing and it was hinted that her farther used her in a bad way. It was a mistake because he showed compassion to a white woman and when her father found out that he helped her she was so terrified

The narrator talks about how excited he, and the rest of his family, were to finally board the plane they were taking out of the country. He remembers in brief detail “There is a photograph of my father, mother, / sister, and me going up / the steps to the plane / all smiling.” The narrator only mentions the best of the experience, excitement in more than one form. Not only would this experience sound exciting, but he also explains that his family’s expressions were filled with joy and excitement. Additionally the narrator starts describing his surroundings as dull and disappointing, especially when he talks about his living conditions. The narrator says he “discovered darkness in closets / turned hands in a boring bathroom / as the snow whorled down / pillowing the city / with soft / glass.” As he sat in the bathroom trying to study English he realized how boring his new life is now. The narrator has to stay in the bathroom to study presumably because it was the quietest room in their tiny hotel. The only new knowledge he gains is how dark the closets are and describes the snow as soft glass. He doesn’t want to talk about the snow as if it was a beautiful ice crystal which kind of hints that he is already drained of his new

It starts of with them heading off into the forest during a snow storm. Snowy weather and the forest don't mix. Its a recipe for disaster, walking five feet and your foot prints are already covered with fresh snow. Not only does the snow give off a cold vibe, but the forest does too. It isn't that uncommon for people to get lost in the woods especially during a snowstorm. Something that was anticipated throughout the whole story. Also the setting kinda plays on there emotions and how they act towards each other cold and bitter. The author really makes you question if there going to make it out of the forest

8.) The mood that is created by details of the setting is a depressed, but determined mood. The setting is depressed when the story first starts, when the reader learns the characters are living on a lunar colony and Marvin has never seen "Outside". "When Marvin was ten years old, his father took him through the long, echoing corridors that led up through Administration and Power, until at last they came to the uppermost levels of all and were among the swiftly growing vegetation of the Farmlands. Marvin liked it here: it was fun watching the great, slender plants creeping with almost visible eagerness toward the sunlight as it filtered down through the plastic domes to meet them. The smell of life was everywhere, awakening inexpressible longings

My name is PFC Hutchinson, Joel D and this is my essay about meeting deadlines. Deadlines are there for a reason. Without a deadline to meet you could simply drag out whatever it is you’re working on for as long as possible, which is hardly a productive way of working. It is therefore important to meet any deadlines that have been set, because there is an expectation on the part of the Non-commissioned officer that you will come up with the goods within a set time-frame. If you fail to meet a deadline, you are left looking extremely unprofessional, and if you develop a reputation for missing deadlines, this could hamper your career progress.

White’s realization of reality and mortality makes him return to the present. Throughout the essay, there is a lost sense of time. When White watches his son pull up his shorts, he recognizes that he could no longer dwell in the past and relive his past in the eyes of his son. White is going through a midlife crisis. He becomes cognizant of the fact that he is no longer a child. He has been reliving his past by pretending to be his son and returning back to his childhood. He would see himself as his son and imagine the times when his dad was with him. He is now aware that his own death is inevitable as he feels the chill of the death of his youth. The cycle will continue as White’s son brings his son to the lake in the future.

In early 1986, Lieutenant General Saint and his Command Sergeants Major, Command Sergeants Major Horvath, identified the need to establish an elite organization to recognize stellar Non-Commissioned Officers. These Non-Commissioned Officers are those who have demonstrated excellence in performance and leadership abilities that resemble those of other influential NCO’s. A special group that needed a figure head that all members could emulate and strive to act in accordance with. This figure head could be none other than Sergeant Audie Murphy.

Carver begins the short story with a vivid description of the environment to set the tone of the story, which is serious. It is implied through the state of the outside, the inside of the home is in the same condition. Carver ties the setting into the conflict seamlessly by mentioning how dismal the weather is and then stating “but it was getting dark on the inside too”(322). Before the reader is aware of the situation, the author uses a foreboding tone to let the reader know that there is a conflict in the house. This conflict is not a casual argument being that Carver felt the need to emphasize the darkness of the house. “The weather turned and the snow was melting into dirty water”, much like that of the young couple’s interaction in the story (322). The couple’s argument starts off with the husband being calm with no physical contact. However,

The weather does more than fit the scene’s energy; often, the weather mirrors the protagonist’s attitudes and feelings, helping readers sympathize and connect with the characters. The first several chapters, set at Gateshead, are rainy, cold, and dreary, paralleling Eyre’s hopeless outlook. According to Thomas Foster, one of rain’s several potential purposes in a novel is to add an air of mystery, isolation, and misery. For example, when Jane is locked in the red-room, “the beclouded afternoon was tending to drear twilight...the rain

Mood The mood is very heavy and tense; there are no bright or lively moments throughout the whole story. The author uses this to show how the residents live in fear of their corrupt government. Irony

In many factors, the weather outside in the story reflects on the mood of the situation inside. At first, it was cold and there was snow covering the ground. This is when the prisoner arrived to the school, accompany by Balducci, a gendarme. Daru did not like the idea of having to take a prisoner to court. He believed he is not responsible for it because he had nothing to do with the situation. He was stubborn and cold towards Balducci and kept repeating, “I won’t hand him over”. That night with the prisoner, there was a “faint wind {in which Daru hoped} would drive away the clouds and the sun would reappear” (pg.10). This represents how Daru hoped for his company to leave soon so he could go back to his own life. He wanted to “drive away”

Mood/ Tone/ Setting- The mood was straightforward, dark, and cold; it was not a pleasant book to read because the mood of the book changed your mood to a heartless feeling. The tone, was one of a science lab, it was hard to read. The setting was in the year of
