The Death Of A Great Day By Jimmy Smalls

In this fictional world, the government’s main goal is sameness. For that to happen there had to be some changes in the community and the people that lived there. This community, was meant to be an Utopian society, way different from our world, but as the time had passed. The perspective of looking at it changed in a dramatic way after more and more differences were found.

All people must be as same as possible and their differences are not cherished. For instance, the Giver explains to Jonas that scientists genetically modify people so that the entire community looks generally similar (Lowry 94) which is wrong because it diminishes the possibility of diversity, which is very important to the culture of a society and its development. Moreover, as Chief Elder explains about the Elevens at the ceremony, “You Elevens have spent all your years till now learning to fit in, to standardize your behavior, to curb any impulse that might set you apart from the group” (Lowry 51). Individuality is not treasured, but instead, they are chastised for not being able to fit in. Furthermore, as explained when Lily pointed out a difference in Gabriel, “No one mentioned such things; it was not a rule, but was considered rude to call attention to things that were unsettling or different about individuals” (Lowry 20). To ensure that differences are not called to attention, society makes noticing differences a faux pas. This unspoken “rule” shows that the community values the opposite of diversity, it values the Sameness it has established. In a utopia, originality should be respected and treasured; every person should not be the same. In spite of that, the supposed “utopia” that The Giver describes does not appreciate uniqueness, which shows that the

Kevin starts pushing his brother while filled with enthusiasm and excitement. Just before approaching Microsoft shop, a costumer, who just purchases a Surface, happily exit the store and walks in front of Robert’s wheelchair. Suddenly the crowd increases, which led to a sudden stop. Since Kevin is a kid he could not see the front of the wheelchair clearly. So, without him noticing, he hits the feet of the customer in front of

Most movies use rain to symbolize the sadness people feel during funerals. This could not be said about the little town depicted in Shirley Jackson’s short story “The Lottery”. One individual must die as per a tradition performed for possibly hundreds of years. The many aspects of the story, such as various objects and people, symbolize the obvious flaws in their society. The tradition of the lottery, the collected stones, and names of a few characters represent the questionable actions and feelings on the morbid town.

The criminal Jimmy Valentine decided to turn his life around when he fell in love. Jimmy Valentine was a well known criminal. He changed his name to Ralph Spencer after he stopped in Elmore; he fell in love with Annabel the banker’s daughter. Jimmy decided to live a moral life after he settled in Elmore. Because Jimmy ran an honest business, he planned on giving away his tools, and he rescued Agatha from the vault, Jimmy was truly dedicated to living a moral life.

Can a professional burglar turn his life around and become a good person? Jimmy Valentine could. Jimmy Valentine was a professional burglar who got caught and was sent to jail. After getting out of jail, Jimmy locked eyes with a fine woman, who then went into a bank. Jimmy collared a boy who also was walking into a bank and found out the woman’s name: Annabel Adams.

History has repeatedly shown that the restriction of personal freedoms will always result in a dull and declining community, unable to make any sort of progress. The prolonged restriction of personal freedoms can result in Sameness — all lives will be identical. Jonas offers an explanation: “There’s nothing we can do. It’s always been this way.

Solomon Northup executed his very gruesome and serious tone throughout his memoir by providing dialogue said by real life people and using diction to give nauseating details to events going on around him throughout his twelve years in bondage. For example, Solomon Northup explains in chapter five how a fellow free slave named Arthur was abused for trying to protest the unfair kidnapping. Solomon states,” He fought until his strength failed him. Overpowered at last, he was gagged and bound with ropes, and beaten, until he became insensible.” (39). The slave masters were not compassionate and defiantly enforced the depressing tone of the memoir. Solomon Northup explains how Eliza, a slave mother, is being separated from her son and the cruel,

"And I stole Seth's copy of 'The Moon is Dying'." Scarlett chuckled. "He's gonna be so mad!"

Kevin had said “What is going on” He looked up and screamed too. They turned and ran as soon as they start diving down. They both ran as fast as they could into the woods.

Kevin was a comedian. Everything he said was facetious. Everything he said was meant to be taken in a humorous way. Kevin was very indigent; his bank account had no money in it. So Kevin’s main reason for being a comedian was to augment his bank account. If he added to his account he would be able to afford food and clothes. As a person Kevin was mundane he was just like your ordinary guy. Kevin would perform at a bar. He brought in a lot of customers. He thought that by doing so he would make a lot of money. Well the bar took most of the profit and gave him 10$ for his whole act. After this Kevin was indignant; he started to yell and throw bottles of liquor because he was outraged. The owner of the bar tried to mollify Kevin by giving him

So, the next day they finally, got the courage and go up ask Kevin why?

The first day of middle school was very scary for me and it was hard bad day. This reminds me of the song “Had a Bad Day” by

“I wanna go to Disney World!” the little girl whined. “Why did you steal from me?”

Next step, get the supplies. The supplies were in the garage with a bunch of other crap. Right side of the garage, behind some stuff. Wood, paper, even more random crap.
