In fact, they were brothers. They bought the red convertible together and travelled around together. As readers, we could easily imagine their brotherhood, their excitement when buying the car and their happy time when travelling. After Henry returned from the army, though the narrator Lyman used flat tone in describing the overreaction of Henry and how he saw him eating bread with his blood, readers could directly feel how painful Lyman was as he was helpless in helping his brother. At the same time, the narrator didn’t use emotional words to express his feeling but readers could understand his pain of seeing how his brother suffered after war was already beyond explaining by words.

He continues by saying that people also may say that fast food is cheaper when measured by the calorie but when half of the people in this country consume too many calories rather than too few, measuring food’s cost by the calorie makes no sense. Bittman clearly states that the cost of fast foods aren’t as cheap as we have all tricked ourselves into thinking and that the obvious choice should be home cooked meals. As well as using hard evidence, Bittman also manages to convince his readers of his credibility because of his background and knowledge of food. Appearing on NBC’s The Today Show, NPR’s All Things Considered and the author of three books relating to food, Bittman is multifaceted (Beyond Print 1). Bittman makes it clear a few times during the article that he likes to make home cooked meals and

An older man approaches Romero’s home asking if he can do some simple yard work and Romero accepts because of his awareness to these people’s needs for work. Gilb also shows the beauty of simplicity through the old man in his story. The old man only wanted to help Romero and Romero was grateful for his help. “Then Romero went inside, scrambled up enough eggs and chile and cheese for the both of them and rolled it all in some tortillas. He brought out a beer.” Gilb impeccably shows the readers of how much of a kind person Romero is to his fellow man.

In chapter 17, after Reuven talks to his father, he goes into another scene where he brings up Levi. He says “Levi Saunders was discharged for the Brooklyn Memorial hospital” (318).
Whitman made every attempt possible to stay away from his family’s farm and to not become a farmer, which his father strongly pushed for (Folsom and Price 2). After the fires in New York, he moved back home, but did not go near farming instead turning to teaching (Folsom and Price 2). Walt Whitman’s basic teaching methods were simple and somewhat new to the era. He knew basic reading and writing, but he was a very profound writer and did not discipline children the

Created some 200 years ago before the invention of modern camera, his paintings still fascinates modern filmmakers. His paintings are remarkably photographic and make modern viewers wonder how did he do that. Although many critics of Vermeer believe that he used Camera Obscura to paint his photographic paintings, actually modern technology proves that Vermeer used a simple technique known for centuries to paint his masterpieces.
