It's about Ben Ross, an intelligent history teacher that decides to perform an experiment on his class called “The Wave”, which at first started out so simple and small, until The Wave became unstoppable and spread around the school in such a short period of time, affecting many people. This essay will express how high modality language, descriptive language, symbolism, dialogue, emotive language, persuasive language and rhetorical questions are used to teach us about conformity, power and manipulation. Through the prevalence of conformity in The Wave, Morton Rhue is able to shape our knowledge of the real world. Conformity is evident when members of a society act defiantly to the norm and set a standard for others to follow. Naturally as humans we either follow or lead, as one takes the podium others bask in their glory and direction.
Life is about lessons, knocking down innocence and happiness challenging one to keep standing back up. Johnson uses the metaphor of life’s happenings as bombs and the importance of living through them to show the need to live fearless. In Beth Johnson’s, Bombs Bursting in Air, Johnson uses exemplification to show that one should not live life in fear despite the bombs and tragedies, exploding throughout his/her life. Johnson shows that with youth, bombs are not necessarily felt until a bomb explodes enough to burn up one’s innocence away. Also, Johnson uses personal references to show importance in learning to fear less of the inevitable bombs, as well as, taking away the knowledge that death is inevitable, but one can live life without fearing this final explosion.

PEELIT for one quote from the last 3 pages of Lord of the Flies Point: The boys on the island become savage once they forget the mannerisms of society. Evidence: “Percival Wemys Madison sought in his head for an incantation that had faden clean away.” Explanation: Language: “incantation”… The use of this noun is particularly interesting because it shows the reader just how much names are used in the civilised world to control a person and it is these names that, once forgotten, allowed the boys to become savages and hunters. Noun Intentions: An incantation may invoke or praise a deity. It can be used with the intention of casting a spell on an object or a person. The use of incantation, by William Golding, may be to prompt the reader to think about how someones name can be used to control them and once the boys had been released from this ‘spell’ once they where on the island by forgetting their names they because unruly and uncivilised.
“HPV Vaccine Texas Tyranny”/ “The HPV Debate Needs an Injection of Reality” In the essay, “HPV Vaccine Texas Tyranny” by Mike Adams, his response is centered around his “CounterThink” cartoon while he expresses his opinions about young girls and HPV vaccinations. For a cartoon artist, I found that his writing was effective. Adams uses appeals, like educating the reader about what made him create his cartoon, as well as facts and his own opinions. Just by reading this essay you can tell that the whole situation really set him off, but his within his writing he tends to rant a little too much, however, I like how he openly expresses his opinions and isn’t afraid of telling the world how he feels. I like how Adam’s addressed that Merck should “..pledge to give away all their vaccines free of charge…this is all about money, not public health,” and “If Merck was really about “patients first,” they should convert to a 501( c )3 non-profit, stop paying their CEO’s 10+ million salaries, and give all their drugs away for free as a gift to humankind, shouldn’t they.” While Adams states this controversial issue that he feels so strongly to make it known to the people of the United States, he also offers what his audience can do to spread the word about this issue, even offering to let anyone post his cartoon, free of charge in order to stop this “medical tyranny.” I consider Adams essay valid because he addresses medical facts and companies, and his tone is persuasive and demanding (some people do not like reading demanding work).
This article opens my eyes and shows me that America may be going in the wrong direction to stop gun control. This is very useful because I’ll be able to use this as what Gun Control should not come to. Another use of this article will allow me to use a pathos appeal because readers will sympathize with a young boy being suspended from school for simply drawing a picture.

The poet is explaining how the aftermath of bombings can be worse than during them, as you see the destruction and scream in horror. this leaves children in pain, and perhaps makes them bitter about how their homes have been destroyed. The poet also suggests that war breaks hope. The image of her "window spun with stars" represents hopes and dreams. "stars" especially do this as a child will typically wish upon a star to make a dream come true.
When the author gets into a fight, he likens the image of the bloody boy he beat to war paint, displaying the brutality of what occurred. Furthermore, he describes how in the third grade, he faced a corner while waiting for his punishment to end and that he was still waiting. This allows the reader to feel the pain that he feels as he deals with these things to this day. When his cousin sniffs rubber cement, the author ironically describes it as “those sweet, almost innocent choices that the Indian boys were forced to make.” He seems to be combatting the stereotype of Indians getting high just to do it by using this example to show that they could make these choices to get away from things like the constant drinking and weeping of their parents in their run down reservations. Finally, Alexie uses words such as starve and noose.
Owen sympathizes with the vain young men who have no idea of the horrors of war, who are 'seduced' by others (Jessie Pope) and the recruiting posters. The detail in Owen's poetry puts forward his scenes horrifically and memorably. His poems are suffused with the horror of battle. Many of Owen's poems bring across disturbing themes and images, which stay in the mind long after readers have read them. His aim is not poetry, but to describe the full horrors of war.
