“A good name...is better than silver and gold,”- Proverbs 22:1. This quote is taken from one of the oldest books known to mankind, and although the Bible is controversial, few could deny the truth in the words above. Indeed, a good reputation builds trust, which in turn breeds opportunity. However, a person’s reputation can be ruined by the unkind or even slanderous words of others. That is why people should take into account the 4-way test of things we think, say, or do. For being truthful and fair

Nothing in the world is perfect. In The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas, LeGuin Ursula shows how Omelas is a utopia, but their flaw is in the basement. LeGuin’s persuades throughout the story of Omelas that wherever there is light there is darkness. Within The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas, LeGuin uses multiple points of views and would sometimes ask the reader questions midway through the story. Through the word choices and diction used, LeGuin makes the sentence powerful. From the use of multiple

First Paper: “The House on Mango Street” In The House of Mango Street, Sandra Cisneros depicts the character of Esperanza as a coming-of-age female who dreams about having a house of her own. The house will bring for her the personal and family stability that she needs; as evidenced by the way the author uses the house to represent Esperanza’s search for what she wants to be as an artist and as a woman.

Characters – How is the main character developed. There are three main characters in my story, their names being; Alephonsion Deng, Benson Deng, and Benjamin Ajak. These three boys, young as they were, are driven away from their own home with violence. This caused a significant change in how they viewed the world.“I couldn't understand why people were killing us. Did Alchol deserve to die? What wrong had we done to these people? Oh, Ma, why the killing?” The three boys also act so different compared

The main character that was in my novel was a girl named Tris. When Tris picks her faction at the age of 16, she picks Dauntless. On page 47 it says, “I am selfish.” “I am brave.” Those words mean that she is very self-confident in herself. Tris grows in the Dauntless community with one of her new good old friends, Christina. On page 66, Christina shows a little of her spunky attitude by saying this, “Who’s that?” hisses Christina. I think that shows a lot of her spunk. The main conflict

Language has affected us throughout decades by progressing and setting limits on the words used and the way people speak. It has allowed people to express themselves through not only actions, but with words. Also, as people grow and develop they learn new concepts referring to language and communication usage.

There is imagery placed throughout the story, such as when Minor describes having to brand the runaway soldiers. Another example of imagery occurs in the
