I hate the way you were being sexist here. When people see this part of the article, many women or girls would be deranged. I know I am definitely furious. I don’t think anyone- even if they are desperate- would even sleep with their sister. As I still continue to read the ignorant article, I come towards the abusive language when you comment and say “there are so many of the bastards”.
He says, “The inmates are often tormented by headaches. Many quite clearly can no longer focus their thought on anything. Some weep; others obsess” (198). By explaining what is happening to the inmates in isolation, Abramsky is reaching for sympathy out of the reader. If the reader were like me, they would have been sentimental and found this passage very uncomfortable.
This may not seem important now, but at the time both countries were conducting top-secret nuclear research and while they did not want to publicly reveal their progress, they did want to project the message to the world that—whatever progress they had made—it was better and farther along than the progress of their enemies. NASA’s space program became the United State’s poster-child of our technological achievement and, as such, it also became a tool of international intimidation and of national defense. When the Challenger Space Shuttle exploded over Cape Canaveral in 1986, it was like a giant sign flashing overhead that the US was not as capable and powerful as previous thought. President Ronald Reagan acted quickly in speaking to the country about the tragedy, but his aim was not simply to reassure the public that everything was okay. In his Challenger speech, President Reagan persuaded the American public to continue to support the space program through his appeal to traditional American values of exploration and discovery, national pride, and national unity.
Mrs. Tschirhart English III AP – 3rd September 12th, 2013 Discussion Questions for Nonfiction Summer Reading 1. Quote a brief passage that makes a point that you really agree with, and explain why. In the book I read titled, The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains or The Shallows for short, written by Nicholas Carr, I noticed some areas of verisimilitude in his writing that applied to me, but there was one specific text of writing that occurred in the beginnings of the book where I felt the author and I thought the same way, when Carr said, “My mind… it’s changing. I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I feel it most strongly when I’m reading.
The previous events in the literature were very drastic and sad. This passage shows how the characters are completely blinded to what’s actually happening to them by their handicaps that they believe are necessary for their lives. It makes
In the late 1960’s the English reader saw America’s Launch as a threat to their hierarchy; so, the writer write his piece in a repetitive manner to imply to the viewer that the Launch was also dull, boring, and not a momentous accomplishment. The audience of the 21st century not only in England but the world assessment of Armstrong’s moon landing as an achievement for mankind. Not only does the Launch benefit America but all nations with an interest to organize a similar expedition or even if they do not have the resource America did to have the Launch they can use America’s as there source. One opinion universally shared in both generations is Neil Armstrong is a moon landing “god”, in the second article the reader can deduct from the reading the author was fairly fond of Mr. Armstrong. A person just newly aware of the Apollo 11 Launch, if informed with an unbiased view would also agree or share the same perspective as the original author that Armstrong is a man to looked upon as a national hero.
A: Well, I was originally visiting America but I chose to stay because the Nazi’s came to power and I didn’t want to get involved. At that time, I was an active pacifist. Q: Are you glad you came to America? A: Yes, once I got here, I had to renounce my German citizenship to become a professor at Princeton University. I really enjoyed teaching!
Krauthammer uses an informative tone along with a concerned diction to prove his point about space exploration. He wants his point to be read and received by educated Americans who show an interest in politics. Mostly, he wants his readers to strive to find the “glory” we once
The whole thing becomes so complicated and convoluted that it makes most the books ending seem beyond belief. In my opinion this is a case of out of hand exaggeration in an effort to express satire. Once again the main point seems to be a criticism of relying on established methods and European ways. Tom cannot explain half the plans he wants to execute during Jim's rescue, but merely says, "Oh, I don't know. But he's got to have it.
In a viewing of the production, Miller notes the audience's reaction to what they were seeing: [The audience members]were weeping because the central matrix of this play is ... what most people are up against in their lives.... they were seeing themselves, not because Willy is a salesman, but the situation in which he stood and to which he was reacting, and which was reacting against him, was probably the central situation of contemporary civilization. It is that we are struggling with forces that are far greater than we can handle, with no equipment to make anything mean anything. In seeking to make a drama that is a critique of the "central situation of contemporary society, Miller has constructed a tragic hero that is not Aristotelian, but rather modern in its reach and its implications A common idea presented in literature is the issue of the freedom of the individual in opposition to the controlling pressures of society. Willy Loman, the main character in Death of A Salesman by Arthur Miller, epitomizes this type of person; one who looks to his peers and co-salesman as lesser individuals. Not only was he competitive and overbearing, but Willy Loman sought after an ideal that he could never become: the greatest salesman ever.
