In the novel, The Watson’s Go to Birmingham by Christopher Paul Curtis, Kenny wonders why Bryan, his brother, is so mean. Kenny is just as bad as his brother Byron.

Michael Vey is most definitely not your average fourteen year old boy, for more reasons than one. He has Tourette’s syndrome, which causes him to have “tics”, such as increased blinking and gulping. Michael also has some dark secrets from his past that make him different, like the fact that he was the cause of his father’s death. However, what makes Michael stand out the most is his ability to shock people with whatever power he chooses. He has electricity running through his body and he can “pulse” at any time with whatever strength he chooses. An example of his power is when he was being bullied by three of the toughest guys in the ninth grade. They were beating him up in the front of the school and right before they were about to pants

Once said by a wise businessman, poet, and humanitarian Samuel Ullman,“Maturity is the ability to think, speak and act your feelings,”(Samuel Ullman). William Bell successfully shows this in his novel Crabbe. Firstly, Franklin Crabbe is a troublesome teenager who is incapable of understanding emotions. Through the novel, readers see his development of feelings towards people and himself. Secondly, Crabbe develops intellectually when he learns that although he is school smart he is not as smart in the wilderness. Lastly, Crabbe is introduced as an antisocial teenager without many friends, except his ‘pal’ Silent Sam (Vodka). Furthermore, Crabbe opens up to his family and makes friends through his journey. Although Crabbe at first is a selfish person, antisocial, and an imbecile, he develops emotionally, intellectually, and socially as a result of his journey in the bush and meeting mary.

Because the advertisement was aired five months after the September 11 incident, there were intense emotions among the American citizens. Budweiser was aware of this and created a commercial with strong emotional appeals. With pathos loaded, the advertisement seems to appeal to the viewer’s emotional senses. In the beginning, a character in the form of a man is fascinated by the horses. The image of the horses is reflected in the glasses of the windows. Business takes place in this area, but he takes a break from all the activities to watch the passing horses because of the awe factor that the Clydesdales stimulates. Thus, as an audience, I will resonate with the man by showing the same reaction. The behaviors of the man are expected to the audience how they should react as well. They are expected to stop every activity they were performing and understand the powerful message conveyed by the majestic creatures.

William Gay’s short story, “The Paperhanger” does an excellent job illustrating the theme that, “You can’t judge a book by its cover.” Today’s society is so focused on outward appearances, that they tend to forget this popular idiom. This expression can be interpreted in many ways, both literally, and abstractly. While a book may appear fun and adventurous on the outside cover, the inside context may lack excitement and adventure. On the other hand, those that look sweet and innocent on the outside may be manipulative and evil at the core. Moreover, those that seem rough around the edges may be the sweetest, most kindhearted individuals on the inside. The main character in “The Paperhanger” is a great example of a man whose outward appearances and actions do not match his inner personality traits. While the paperhanger appears honorable to the outside world, deep down he is devious and spiteful.

Books contain stories. Stories are either written down after an event or created in the minds of writers.

For this essay I will be using the commercial made by Budweiser for the 2015 Super Bowl, “Lost Dog.” This advertisement is about a tiny lost puppy getting far away from home and most importantly, the friendship between this puppy and some Clydesdale horses. In the beginning of this commercial, the puppy is shown hiding under some hay, and then he proceeds to jump into a random trailer which initially gets him lost far from home. There is no dialogue in this commercial aside from the music in the background, but the advertisement shows the distress of the owner through facial expressions and scenes where he puts

Hemingway’s greatest idea, the Hemingway Code, is brought out in all of his short stories. The typical Code has characters who are mostly males, they show grace under pressure, are very masculine, and do many heroic acts. Another part of the Code is you are not destroyed unless you are defeated. In most of the stories Hemingway’s characters follow the Code and don’t stray from it, but this is not the case in his story “In Another Country”. Although some will say that the Major sticks with the Code and is not defeated, he is defeated because he does not because he does not have grace under pressure, he has lost his masculinity, and has no grace under pressure.
