On the beam supports are painted symbols for ethnicities that represented the population of Texas in 1937. There are also those that are represented in the library lobby as well. Seeing the Tower in the evening is probably the most magnificent thing one could see in the Austin area. The Tower usually appears lit in white lights in the evening, but is lit in various color schemes for special occasions. Like when the Texas Longhorn Football Team won the National Championship in 2005.
Brandon Fernandez Professor Ali ENC-1101, 113 September 10, 2011 As I walked through the huge elevated door, revealing to me a place I would love to go back to. I was greeted warmly by a well-dressed attendant, her blue and white uniform gave her a professional look. As I made my way down the aisle, my carryon bag rolled closely behind. The cold air rushed at me the minute I walked in, which made me feel content on bringing a sweater. The air was filled with murmurs of delight, children crying, people laughing, and the heavy breathing of those whose nerves got the best of them.
I chose this picture because it gave a very detailed and captured all of the important things in the first draft of the Emancipation Proclamation. 25.Holford, David M. Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation in American History. Berkeley Heights, NJ: Enslow Publishers, 2002. This book briefly describes the thinking behind the Emancipation Proclamation and its
“Before you left, I pinned one onto your lapel, crimped petals, spasms of paper red, disrupting a blockade of yellow bias binding around your blazer.” What the poet says is significant because she is remembering exactly what she did that day all those years ago in fine detail. This I think is because this is the day he leaves to go to war and this stands out a lot to her and she shows her emotion when it says “All my words flattened, rolled, turned into felt, slowly melting.” Comparing it to The right word again like Poppies the poet creates strong feelings by the language used straight away in the first stanza. The poet says “outside the door, lurking in the shadows is a terrorist”. The word terrorist stands out to you the reader and grabs your attention straight away. This makes you want to read on and find out what is about to happen.
And now after this assignment means a lot more to me. My husband is directly related to Hon Yerry and Two kettles family in the painting. And my husband has a very extensive opinion on the painting as well. Also this painting makes me wonder if the United States government will ever change their views of American Indians or so called savages. Considering the Oneida Indians owned all of New York State and some surrounding areas and now they own thirty two acres in Oneida New York they got a bum deal for all the help they gave the United States.
Jordan Anderson Michelle Jarvis English 113 B 24 January 2013 Chapter 4: The Shawl As the story begins, it is easy to see that the author uses numerous amounts of symbolism and descriptions to help the audience engage with the reading. I loved the usage of figurative language. For example, “…dark like cholera…eyes blue as air, smooth feathers of hair nearly as yellow as the Star sewn into Rosa’s coat.” This sentence lets you know what Magda’s complexion is, her eye color, as well as hair color and texture. More importantly, it notes a point about the setting of the story, which is never stated but later learned to be a concentration camp. Rosa wears a Jewish star, revealing that her and her daughter and the baby are Jewish and they are experiencing Nazism.
These quilts were made of “bits and pieces of Grandpa Jarrell’s paisley shirts…”, “…scraps of dresses Grandma Dee had worn fifty and more years ago…”, and “…one teeny faded blue piece, about the size of a penny matchbox, that was from Great Grandpa Ezra’s uniform that he worn in the Civil War” (Walker, 2011, p. 1091-1092). The value of these quilts is priceless to Mama which is made very clear in the way they are described. Dee notices the quilts for their cultural and historical value only due to the stitching that was done by hand and the materials that were used to make them. Maggie had already been promised these quilts by Mama and the reaction that was given by Maggie when she discovers Dee wanted them presents the more emotional and personal attachment for them also. "Maggie can't appreciate these quilts!"
Yuan Diao Professor Dustin Hopkins English 1B 9 February 2015 Rhetoric of Reporting and Description Positive Perspective I was running passionately up the wooden cordovan Victorian stairs to the conference hall that was located on the second floor. The stairs were so broad that they would hold up to seven people of my size without hustling anyone. I took a moment to admire them: luxuriously decorated with the variegated shaggy carpet that was the original Persian one, I suppose, they seemed to be leading to the qualitatively new level of life that I had always strive for so much. Having just had a nice big cup of hot cappuccino with chocolate star on top of its delicious scum in a very cozy café with home-like handmade-decorated

The significance of being a male in Franco-Irish culture I’ve got something to (Es)say Gabriel DL What does it really mean to “be a man” in the world we live in today? There is no straightforward answer to this question, for being a man represents something completely different in each culture it is observed in. Before I moved to rural Ireland, County Wicklow to be specific, I never even had to hesitate when I was considering putting on my flashiest, tightest and most flamboyant jeans before going out. I could wear any shirt, any jacket of any color and then spend a solid twenty minutes in front of the mirror while making sure that every strand of my shoulder length hair was in place. I could go to school, kiss all my friends on both cheeks (yes, I’m talking about girls and guys) when greeting them and be completely open about the way I was feeling on any given day.
