Writing A Quote Analysis

It is fascinating to me to read the articles “Why I Write,” by George Orwell and Joan Didion. These authors touch on so many different topics for their reasons to writing. Their ideals are very much different, but their end results are the same, words on paper for people to read. Both authors made very descriptive points to how their minds wander on and off their

“I think that the reason we were so rebellious was that our generation had known secular schools.”

First off, I really liked your response due to the fact that I also addressed this question, and I was able to gain a different insight from your discussion board on things I did not include in my response. For instance, the way you explained how first point of view gave strength to the overall idea of history brining pride to many Chicanos not only showed great analysis, but also supported your argument regarding the character’s strong identification with his culture. You use a quote to support your answer and further analyze the quote and speak about the effect cultural heritage and history has on the person Joaquin is.

“Writing means sharing. It's part of the human condition to want to share things - thoughts, ideas, opinions.” -Paulo Coelho

After reading the email you sent us tonight, I’ve decided to write you this email. With what’s happening in our country right now, I just feel the need to let you know that I really appreciate you reaching out to us as well as sharing your thoughts and feelings. I have to say that it is very hard not to feel hopeless at the outcome of this election. However, I realized that no matter what, the strength and unity of those who are likeminded in loving, caring and open-minded will allow us to go through this together as a country. No matter what we can find our way back to humanity, and fight to protect the immigrants, LGBT, people of color, and the female communities. Personally, I’m still trying to make sense of it. I can’t wait for the in-class

The theme i have chosen to talk about is love because it is demonstrated quite a bit throughout this novel while also maintaining a good interesting storyline. The first quote i found is, “I found this new part of myself when i met him and i know the new part doesn't know how to stay quiet and still and just observe” this shows that she can't hide this side of her from anyone anymore because she wants everyone to know how happy and excited she is for being alive for once in her life. She also found a part of herself that she never showed or saw with other people and this side of her is good because it makes her happy, and makes her interested to see what happens next in her life since she never has anything big to look forward too. The author

One of the many characteristics of a story would be, tone which can be summed up in one word at least. Tone is, the author’s attitude or focus on a specific point toward a subject, in other words, tone would be amount of focus that the author puts towards a subject in a passage. The tone of this passage in my opinion would be, realistic, and adventurous. The reason why I believe this is because throughout the story there is nothing mystical; everything seems to be realistic. For example, in the text it directly states, “Let me tell one thing to show. In the washing-place, a thing said "Hot" but it was not hot to the touch—another thing said "Cold" but it was not cold. This must have been a strong magic but the magic was gone. “ This demonstrates

Well at first I was a sophomore in college studying Pre-Med, and I had to drop a few classes since I didn’t like Pre-Med anymore. I walked into a writing class (A Poetry One) it was near the registration desk. I thought it was pretty cool, they were doing an automatic writing activity, when the guy invited me in. When we started this exercise I really enjoyed it a lot. I also began to read a lot more. The authors who really inspired me were John Updike , who wrote the Rabbit series and J.D. Salinger, who wrote The Catcher in the Rye.

Honor is a quality that defines a person worthy of respect, but would you give up honor to have great power? In The Giver, Lois Lowry writes about how Jonas will receive great honor, but it is not the same as power. Jonas was honored by the community for taking on the role as Receiver of Memory. Jonas was also given the power to see beyond. In The Giver, I believe that there is a difference between honor and power, just like The Giver said.

“By which I mean not a “good” writer or a “bad” writer but simply a writer, a person whose most absorbed and passionate hours are spent arranging words on pieces of paper. Had my credential been in order I would never have become a writer. Had I been blessed with even limited access to my own mind there would have been no reason to write. I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at what I see and what it means.”

"We learn to practice good habits to become less distracted artificial news and technology because, many time our mental processors are not focused on what we are thinking, saying and doing." ~ Jon Barnes

Using today’s quote of "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter," what I think Martin Luther King, Jr. meant was that humans only become alive and living (metaphorically) when we raise our voice to things that matter and not stay silent about them. An example where it would apply to this quote is corresponding to saying that animal abuse is something to neglect instead of fighting for abolishing the abuse that animals have to endure because of what they are. Yes, I agree with this quote considering that no one is living until they voice what matters to them. One national or worldly issue that matters to me is the protesting of Black Lives Matter congregation assembly. It is important to me because black lives

The quote that I have chosen is relatable in more than one way the simple way is that I chose this quote to be my senior quote. But the real reason that it is so relatable to me is because I was raised believing you can be should whatever you want and the belief that you should be different from everyone else so I've lived by this rules set by my parents but I feel like because of these rules I feel as if i turned out so different that no one will understand me anymore so when I heard this quote it made me think like does anyone understand me anymore or am I to far out and isolated from everyone there is no one else like me so was the rules that were implemented on me worth following. I make it sound bad but it's really not because I know

To begin my conclusion John Green said this quote “Writing is something you do alone. It’s a profession for introverts who want to tell you a story but don’t want to make eye contact while doing it.” I’m not a writer I dislike doing things alone or being by myself for that matter. It is too quiet and it leaves me with time to think for myself. Most writers write because they have something they want to

Out of the 21 quotes on the paper we were given, this quote was the one that stuck out to me the most. The quote tells you to find the best in everyone, because nobody is truly terrible. Everyone has some good in them, and they deep down want to do good in their own way. It’s up to everyone else to take their time to see that in other people.
