I made everyone get out and I ran and jumped in the lake and swam around by myself. Ashley saw how safe I was and how happy I was and she stepped up to the dock, dipped her foot in and finally jumped in. She had conquer her fear of the mysterious lake mobster! The last day of camp was bittersweet. We had made lasting friendships and had so many laughs and good times.
Lewes addresses problems with age and matureness so that Peirce is prepared and ready to write on her own. Lewes first warns Peirce about age limitations; writing too young leads to incomplete and emotionally vacant work. Lewes articulates, “ It is a misfortune to many that they begin to write when they are young and give out all that is genuine and peculiar in them when it can be no better than trashy, unripe fruit.” Lewes knows that a young writer does not have as deep emotions and as complete understanding of life. Just like an unripe fruit is edible but not tasty, an “unripe” writing work will be readable but not a delicious masterpiece. This analogy gives Peirce an understanding why age limits a writer’s success, and it consolidates her by informing her that that it is fine if she has not far behind.
I feel that this message is important in everyday life because people take life too seriously and later regret not had enjoying themselves more. This poem has a rhythm that could keep a child interested with a happy story but as a deep underlying message. “Where the Sidewalk Ends” uses imagery, symbolism and a hint of sound devices to strengthen that underlying message. Silverstein used symbolism to give that double meaning to the words he wrote, for example “and the children, they know,” (Stanza 3 Line 3) could simply mean that the children they know where the sidewalk ends, or it could mean that having the mind of a child will show us the way to a happier place. I felt that the poet uses sidewalk as a word with deeper meaning.
Tim Winton’s novel – Lockie Leonard is a suitable book for teens because all the readers who have or are going through puberty, body changes and that kind of stuff. I liked the novel but I wouldn’t have read it by myself. The book is humorous in some parts. When you’re like Lockie new to school you feel lonely and it’s hard to fit in straight away. So that’s why it’s a perfect book for
These shots help set a mood towards the audience. Out of the many great camera shots in this movie, I have picked out three that I’ve found the most interesting. The first shot I will depict takes place in the beginning of the movie. A young teenaged girl tells a boy to go swimming with her. It is either taken at night or very early morning.
It was the best summer of my life. I made a lot of friends, and at the end we got Junior Guard bags, T-shirts, and of course Junior Guard Stripes. This stripe has a lot of sentimental value for me because this is a symbol of the Junior Lifeguard camp. I went through a lot of things at this camp, and I am not going there again, so it can be a very good reminder of time I spent there. This stripe was given to me by the Junior Lifeguard couch.
ENGL 1311 16 September 2013 “The River” It was a hot day to be on the Guadalupe River for Memorial Day weekend. My family and I loaded up the truck, filled the cooler with cold drinks, packed our swim suits, and headed out. The water seemed warm, you could smell the burgers on the grill, kids were playing and the sun was blazing. You can say it was a perfect time to be out with the family enjoying each other’s company. The river is about 230 mi long.
Reading books change their mind and maybe as well as their lives. The value of literacy does not only play a role on kids but also on adults. After surviving from the holocaust, it is hard and hurt for Wiesel to recall the memory of what he and others had suffered but he chose to write the history down to let it remembered. He said[,] “I was duty-bound to give meaning to my survival, to justify each moment of my life. I knew the story had to be told.
Also it wasn’t very clear in what happened to Jeremy. This was a great ending because this book always keeps you thinking but never find out what really happens. Clearly, Lil' J's life isn’t going into the right direction. This book has some of drug content and violence. It is more suited for young adults or older people who enjoy thinking when
The reason I chose this factor is because of how close the young man is to the book and how the instructor seems as if she is reading as well as following the words with her finger. That leads me to believe that he probably can’t see the words well on the book. If he comes from a low-income community and his family does not have health care, then maybe he never thought about getting his vision checked because his parents are not in a position to pay for it. Now on the other hand everything I perceived this visual to be could be totally wrong which is why you can’t act on perception alone. I’ve learned in life that you have to deal with facts, things that could be proven, because a perception is just a theory that your thoughts created due to certain
