socially appropriate? How or more so who decides what is appropriate? These questions have been asked, debated, and fought over since the dawn of civilization. The rhetor of the movie The Imitation Game integrates these questions into the true story of Alan Turing and the people around him. The rhetor allows these questions of appropriateness to be narrowed down to two very influential people in history to give these large, foundational questions a more personal touch, and for the audience to see the

Throughout the novel Cry, the Beloved Country, one of the major themes is the contrast between hope and fear, light and dark. Author Alan Paton juxtaposes theses contrasting ideas by using literary devices, such as vivid imagery and rich dialogue. Personification, similes, repetition, diction, symbolism, antitheses, dramatic irony, and allusions also supply the varying moods of the novel and distinguish the “light” of hope from the “darkness” of fear.

It is no new information that God tends to directs the ordinary people out of their normal lives and make something great out of them.

It allows for the audience to connect to the characters on a deeper level by having them experience the same feelings, smells, noises, etc, as did the roles in the novel. Alan Paton uses a strong voice packed with imagery in his passage, “For they grow red and bare; they cannot hold the rain and mist, and the streams are dry in the kloofs.

Many people have pets; a large majority of them are of course cats and dogs. A pet is defined as “a domestic or tamed animal kept for companionship or pleasure.”(Dictionary). I believe that a pet is the most loyal friend you can ever have. Having such innocent animals depend on you whether it’s a cat, dog, fish, bunny and etc. is such a wonderful feeling to endure.

Animal testing started back in the late nineteenth century when french biologist, Louis Pasteur, [7] tested anthrax on sheep to show how important vaccines really are. Despite the advantages that may have come from animal testing, it is an extremely controversial topic to this very day.
