It's Kind of a Funny Story

deals with a death of someone and you have to watch what kind of children you read it to because you have to really look in the book to notice the death and some children might not understand that and wonder why she was sad. It would also be a good book to get out and talk about death if a child in your class has when dealing with

through becoming lazy. The human race is much too powerful to be unproductive. If we set our aim too low, we become incapable of reaching our goals. True satisfaction comes from hard work and morals. An example of this comes from literature. It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini, tells the hardships of a young man who becomes

would be a couple things I would change. In my opinion, in the beginning of all good stories, they have a good hook that pulls us readers in. At the beginning of this story, on page 7 the first sentence is, “Boxing Cat! Boxing Cat! Boxing Cat! Boxing Cat!” Then Micah says, “I don’t know aren’t you a little tired of cat videos.” Taylor replies, “ No! What kind of answer is that?” This does not pull me into the story and does not make me want to, so badly, read the play. Yes, it lets me know Taylor and

In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald uses irony, or a situation that is different than what was expected, to create comic relief and develop the theme. But mostly it is used to help develop the characters. An example of this is in chapter two when Myrtle is talking to her sister about men. She says, “‘Most of these fellas will cheat you every time. All they think of is money’” (Fitzgerald 31). This is ironic because Myrtle is the one cheating on her husband, and she’s doing it because he doesn’t

more than one danger of giving someone a single story, it’s more than not seeing their full identity it's diminishing all of their accomplishments, hardships, specialties, and everything that makes an individual, individual. True in my life I have not been innocent of doing that to multiple people, such as last week when my family and I were driving home from Memphis through Arkansas. I was feeling sick so we stopped at a truck stop that looked kind of rugged, so I was already feeling that as a black

climax of the play happens when the two women hid the dead canary and remove the motive needed to convict Mrs. Wright. Susan Glaspell’s “Trifles” is a dark, minimal, one act play that leaves you with more questions in the end. It tells a lot of story without using a lot of resources. So, I of course loved it. The use of language is great, “'He died of a rope round his neck” (Roberts, 985) works well with its matter of fact timing from Mrs. Wright. The time in America that this is set, assuming

Well it’s simple, and kind of obvious. We all have a name. But here’s what’s kind of special about it. You probably share your name with someone else in the world, or if you are one of those people whose parents just blatantly made up your name, well this doesn’t do anything for you. But, when you share a name with other people, it won’t mean the same. See, look at it this way. Names are like poetry, in a sense. It really could have a meaning to it, but whatever lies inside your heart, is it’s definition

I am a quarterback which means I have the teams back. The fact that I can take the responsibility of all the kids on the team, on and off the field. This sport is more than just a game to me, it’s what makes me happy. I also play lacrosse and basketball I would love to play for the Loyola Lacrosse team during the spring when football isn’t happening. But probably the biggest reason I want to go there is how much it will change you from a boy

to one person in the film it would have to be Brennan. I say that because he is very lazy at times and if someone were to ask him to do something he would just sigh and lay there, which I tend to do at times. Also, he is very quiet at first and just kind of keeps to himself which I do at times too when I am around someone I don’t know very

(or so I hope). So, as much as everyone else might be cringing, here I go. By the way, before I do start, can I just say, you’re thiccer than a sniccer ;). One topic that I would like to dwell on is how happy you make me. I love your hair so much. It’s just so cute and pretty. YOU’RE SO CUTE JUST IN GENERAL. Honestly, I wasn’t too happy before I met you. My life is the opposite of what it was before I met you. I would like to thank your parents, yellow creators and you for being so amazing. I am
