An additional source that I chose for my analysis was the “The Spanish Inquisition and the Inquisitorial Mind” by Angel Alcala. This sources provides a compilations of several anthologies of many writers who give a detailed summary of the structures, patterns and historical background regarding the Inquisitorial Spain and reformation of the Church in the northern hemisphere of medieval Europe. I picked this sources because it provides a summary of facts that I need for the explanation of how this movement affected the spirituality, religious beliefs and culture of many families through out Spain.
Founding Fathers Elizabeth Taylor September 11, 2012 Out of all of the Founding Fathers who made the country of the United States possible, I believe that Benjamin Franklin was the most active participant. Benjamin was a very bright and well liked person throughout Europe, he was able to get people to look at his point of view of things and get them to agree with his decisions. He lived in London, England for a long period of time before and during the American Revolution. Though not happy with the rebellion of the colonists, he tried to solve the issues for them as well. In 1765, when the Stamp Act was placed, he made a testimony before Parliament to help persuade the repeal of the law.
It was a great speech because of all the writing techniques that he used and ethos, pathos, and logos, used in the speech. This speech does not only bring us emotion, but authority and reasoning also it brings us face-to-face with the problems that our country had. This speech woke many people and urged them to change their ways. Of course, the problem continued and really still has not been solved completely, but we seem to have taken a big step since the last “March on Washington”. Martin Luther King is watching to see if we succeed his
I have zoomed through two short novels so far this quarter and I’ve enjoyed both very much. I have read Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway, and have now finished Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton. Stylistically, the differences in Hemingway’s simple, yet effective descriptions of the sea and events contrasted strongly with Wharton’s more sophisticated and more complex sentences. However, both styles of writing served the purpose of the authors to create captivating and moving stories. I do feel that Hemingway’s simple vocabulary and direct narration would make his writing more accessible to a greater number of people at all age levels, as opposed to Ethan Frome, which would likely appeal to those who could read through a more diverse, complex vocabulary and narrative style.
A.O.W #13 Soapstone ~ Sophie Perez Period 5 ~ 455 words While reading an excerpt from, “There Will Come Soft Rains,” Ray Bradbury can be easily identified as a skilled author who uses a perfected use of imagery to show the setting of the story. The author may believe that the Cold War was a time to unite friends and achieve a sense of relief only after society’s problems are resolved. He may have lived through the beginning to the very end of the Cold War since all the details seem precise. To capture the tension that he showed in his descriptive writing. I think that the author wrote this story because he wanted to share an experience or certain thoughts.
One of the most famous speakers during the 1770’s was a man named Patrick Henry. He was said to be better than any actor or actress because when it came to people he could move them to laughter, sadness, anger or whatever emotion he felt like inflicting upon them. When Henry mad his speech at the Virginia Convention in 1775, he was able to convince the members of the house to see the situation with England through his eyes by using charged words, repetition and always showing the utmost respect to those who had spoke previously Patrick Henry was a very well educated man. During his earlier years he had trained to be an attorney, this fact definitely contributed to his oratory skills. He was able to influence many important people with his thoughts and ideas In the
The author has Darl narrating most often because he is the most reliable character in the novel since he is the one character that seems to speak the most for the author, William Faulkner. Faulkner's narrative technique. Most novels are written in the past tense, and whether written in third person or first person, the author has considerable liberty to manipulate the events. In As I Lay Dying,
The word that can sum up many of the themes in the book is position. The word covers themes like class, wealth, social standing, and others. Social standing was very important in The Great Gatsby. For example, Tom's social standing allowed him to treat everyone, including his own wife, like dirt, except on rare occasions when he felt like being helpful. Gatsby's social standing allowed him to be generous, because everyone expected it of him after attending or hearing about one of his lavish parties.
Although Booker T. Washington’s views were popular, W.E.B. Dubois’s approach towards Jim Crow Laws and segregation were more effective because he used his education, writing, and voice to spread his ideas. It was these three things that made Dubois’s approach more effective. Although many people believed in Washington’s theories, Dubois used education to make segregation go away. Dubois was the first African-American to receive a doctorate from Harvard University.
“White is a Color: G.K. Chesterton's Interpretation of Human Society” One of the most creative British authors of the early 20th century, G.K. Chesterton is known for writing many works of literacy like play, novels, short stories, and newspaper essays. He considered himself primarily a journalist, writing for two different newspaper columns. In his essay, “A Piece of Chalk,” Chesterton incorporates the different colors of chalk and brown paper in both his text and style. Chesterton uses metaphorical symbols such as religion, imagination, and morality for his ideas on human society. The story talks about a man who has brown paper and chalk and uses the two items to draw illustrations of everything he observes and imagines in his travels through nature.
