However, The General History includes much information on the terrible living conditions and bad farming/planting of the colony formed by the group of settlers that Captain John Smith was within. For some reason, the entry of Christopher Columbus contains no information about a settlement of any sort, almost as if he and his crew stayed in the New World for only one day. From this point, both entries seem to be of equal reliability due to the equal lack of common information. When reading further into The General History, Captain John Smith writes about how his first encounter with live Natives in the New World was while he was on an expedition with two
Northfield Farms does not qualify for any exemptions under the Act as it is a CAFO. It owns more than 700 cows, and does not grow crops where the cows are penned. The existence of pipes and machines for manure dispersal further meet the criteria for point sources (C.A.R.E v Southview Farms, 1994). In sum, Northfields needs a permit to dispose of the waste, and should be fined. Also, the excessive manure present in rainwater runoff during heavy storms cannot be called “agricultural stormwater discharges.” In C.A.R.E v Southview Farms, “The run-off was primarily caused by the over-saturation of the fields rather than the rain and that sufficient quantities of manure were present so that the run-off could not be classified as "stormwater.
Second, explain what the context or situation is—that is, who is involved, where s/he is, at what time, and what is going on, etc., Third, explain what the quotation means and how it is significant to the novel. (In other words, why is this quote important?) Keep in mind that quotations rarely tell you why they are important, so you must use the clues given to you and really dig beneath the surface, kind of like “Author and Me” questions. Fourth, note any stylistic devices (similes, metaphors, personification, symbols, alliteration, etc. ), and finally, what connections do you see between this excerpt and other vignettes in the novel?
Dialectal Journal- Frankenstein Because Frankenstein can be a difficult text to navigate through, it is imperative to adopt a close reading of Mary Shelley’s gothic novel. The dialectical journal is a type of double-entry note-taking, which you will create and maintain while reading Frankenstein. You will need to keep a running reading log in your Honors English IV notebook much like the one below. In the two columns, you will write notes that dialogue with one another, thereby developing critical reading and reflective questioning. You will be required to respond to at least 3 quotations for each chapter in the novel.
For example this sentence: “The only thing that has ever reverted is home furnishing, thanks to Ikea, which has somehow succeeded by reversing comfort evolution, taking us back to the Dark Ages with its hard, disapproving chairs, as 25 if sitting were a perversion or a sin, while forcing us to build it ourselves.” This is a whole 3 lines long. These long sentences’ holds a lot of information between only two dots. A very good way to compress a single metaphor ore symbol into one sentence, instead of spreading it over a whole

This has been particularly shown when Lennie enters his room. Crooks responds aggressively with “You got no right to come in my room. This here’s my room. Nobody got any right in here but me.” The use of the verb “right” underlines the inequality between the two races in 1930s and that implies that Crooks doesn't think its fair in the world where the white appear to rule, he has no right, so in his room where he is in charge, the white (Lennie) has no right. Also the repetition of the possessive pronoun “my room” shows that Crooks' room is his own private 'world' and that this separates him from the other workers; as he is forbidden to enter the bunk house, so he believes the other workers are forbidden for entering his room.
The show has a lot of different dimensions that separate it from the average crime show which is part of the reason I chose to write on it. The Walt, along with the other deputies are all white. He has been born and raised in Absaroka County and is what many would consider middle class. He prefers to live in the “darkages” and refuses to come to modern times. He doesn't carry a cell phone or use any current technology and feels the best way to do everything is the oldfashinway.

The purpose of the chapter is to mainly introduce the characters of the book and set a tone for the rest of the book (e.g. ideas of social class, characterisation of Gatsby).
