When Montag reached the old lady’s house with his team, he saw the love and passion the old lady had for her books. Montag left himself to a deep thought about the actions of the old lady. When the old lady said that she shall live with her books and die with them, these lines dragged Montag into reading a book. Ray Bradbury describes the book from Montag’s point of view like a snowy feather, with words delicately painted thereon. When Montag read a line from the book, that incident then dragged him into stealing a book and reading it.
The Woman in Black Controlled Assessment Task 1 A) To mark the moment on pages 22-23, we used hot seating. We chose this this moment to explore because it’s the first encounter of the Woman in Black. It helps to portray the mysteriousness of the story. It is the part in the play in which the audience begin to ask questions in their head, such as, “Who is she?” “Is she good or bad?” ”Why is she hear?” We chose hot seating as our strategy because Jerome acts in a strange manor, as if he is uncomfortable about talking about it. Some of the questions we asked were: * Why did your actions change when discussing the hooded figure?

The project of finding a voice, with language as an instrument of injury and salvation, of selfhood and empowerment, suggests many of the themes that Hurston uses as a whole. Zora Neale Hurston draws attention towards her novels because she uses black vernacular speech to express the consciousness of a black woman and to let the reader know exactly how statements are said. This use of the vernacular is particularly effective in Their Eyes Were Watching God. Their Eyes Were Watching God exposes the need of Janie Crawford's first two husbands for ownership of space and mobility with the suppression of self-awareness in their wife. Only with her final lover, Tea Cake, who's interest orbit around the Florida swamps, does Janie at last glow.
The book I chose for my independent reading project is called “Burned” by Ellen Hopkins. The project I chose to do is a book box because the book I’ve read has a lot of items that correspond to the events and characters in my book. The items I have chosen from my book is a journal, a diaper, a ring, a cell phone, and a pregnancy test. The first item I chose was a journal. The reason I chose this item is because in the book, the main character Pattyn Von Stratten used a journal write down all her troubles because her librarian Ms. Rose told her it would be good for her.

The point I believe the author was trying to put across is that women can be so troubled or mistreated that unfortunate events to their spouse or significant other can bring about relief. Many authors try to be relevant in their writing so that the readers can relate to or understand what the author is trying to relay in their stories. These examples show how relevant most authors are in their writing and how they reflect communities that they come from or communities that they know about.
The audience is challenged throughout the text, as the reader’s assertiveness and insight into Sallies character is provoked through literary techniques, such as simile, symbolism etc. The biography is also a mix of detective novel, so the reader discovers what happened to Sallie and what she stood up against. Her pain and suffering from abandonment is explored and described by Sallie Anne as well as her sister in the following insightful narration. “when pat (sallies mother) abandoned Sallie for the second time, that really fucked her up… when your mother makes a habit of walking out on you, it doesn’t do much for your self esteem” and Sally stated “if only I’d had my mother, things would Have been different”. These lines emphasize the dramatic impact the repeated abandonment had on Sallie, and the course her life took.
Values and Attitudes Exemplified Through the writing of a poet it is possible for a reader to learn many things about them. The values and attitudes exemplified in poetry give insight into the cultural, moral, social, or ethical concerns that a poet may be feeling or thinking about. These concerns can appear either explicitly or require some reading between the lines to truly understand what the poet is saying. In the poem Hanging Fire by Audre Lorde, she deals with the explicit anxieties of an African American girl going through puberty. In Sherman Alexie’s poem On the Amtrak from Boston to New York City, he encounters concerns about his culture as a Native American among other things.
