Reading off of a projector is completely draining to watch and one would lose interest pretty quick. Randy Pausch only used his slides as a topic starter and used improvisation for the rest of his lecture. He fed off the audiences response on what he would say next. Every word he said was exactly what he was feeling at the time. He stayed on subject but still added extra stories and comments to make the presentation interesting.
Jake Saville John Weser English 1A September 15 2009 Warren Avenue Everyday the average person analyses countless amounts of images. Most of which we train ourselves to pay little attention to, so that we can easily forget about them and move along with our day. Although most modern day media is simple and aimed towards marketing their are still artists who convey a deeper meaning in their works. Warren Avenue by Joel Sternfeld is an attention grabbing photo, that invokes emotion, and is not easily forgotten by it’s audience. Through his use of purpose, tone, and structure Sternfeld created an image that takes your mind on a journey, and instills sorrow and remorse, When looking at the picture for the first time their are numerous
Every thought that enters Joe's mind is written down, even if they're just a repetition of particular words: “Oh no. No no no” (pg. 63). While some writers who've attempted this tactic only end up bogging their writing down, making it a mess of an undramatic story line, Trumbo effectively connects the reader directly to Joe. By the end of the book, the reader completely sympathizes with the mental anguish Joe is going through.
This novel will make other readers think about the feelings of other people. Even though this book was very sad, I really enjoyed reading it. Charlie truly thought that if he became smart, all his problems would be solved, and he would be completely accepted by everyone. Unfortunately, he became so smart that he had no friends, since he was unable to communicate with anyone. When his intelligence returned to below normal at the end of the novel, he could still appreciate his surgical experience and had no regrets.
After reading this article, I started to pay closer attention to this poor-putting issue and I noticed that everything he points out is entirely true! The thing that I liked the most about this article was his introduction/title. The title “Why Women Putt Worse than Men” is shocking because nobody has really posed the question before and I commend him for it. His article was probably frowned upon at first but if women would just read it, they could start to ask themselves, “Why am I not doing the same things that the guys are doing?”, and it would actually help their putting. His cover page shows a woman in a putting stance with a guy in a lab suit watching her every move and a bunch of gauges surrounding her which implies that they are going to back up that title with some case studies and statistical analyses.
He really breathes life through all of the objects that he talks about and makes the reader feel like they're actually there with him. Through the simplest of activities he can make it seem like it's the hardest task he's ever had to go through as he describes, “I would set my dictionary next to me, prop my paper on my knees, sharpen my pencil with my teeth…I would try to write the thoughts going through my mind, but they didn’t come out right. They lacked reality. A stream of ideas flowed through me, but they lost their strength as soon as I put them down”. Taking an idea as abstract as thinking, it's animated as he describes them like a flowing river that has lost the strength of its current.
When you do this, it turns a boring topic into an interesting and fun essay for the audience. The author also talks about colorless words that they are words we use in everyday conversations, colorless words use are nothing and how student also use every day slang adjectives. He also added in their colorful words which means finding the right word in the right place, writers often struggle with this. I agree with the author on how we write essays, I must say everything he wrote in this story is true for me. I often have a hard time trying to figure out what words fit where to make complete sense of the sentences or paragraphs.
An Analysis of Everyday Use Everyday use is the article I like the most in all the articles that we learnt. At the first time I see this title; I feel no interest in reading this article, because it’s just an everyday use. But after I read it, I knew that this title has special meaning to the author and for the reader. This title contains a very important question whether or not heritage should be preserved and displayed or integrated into everyday life. People have their point of view to this controversial issue, Like Dee (Wangero) in the story, in paragraph 70, line 4, “Hang them,” she said.
Volunteering has no universal definition, so everyone is required to interpret it as they wish. We are all volunteers. (Pathos) We all may not (Anastrophe, scheme) have the same definition, but that does not make one volunteers’ efforts more heroic than others. Some people may be hesitant to begin volunteering because they believe they need to save the world (Hyperbole, trope) when in reality, the small scale help they can provide in their own community is just as valuable. Many people may believe it is only necessary to volunteer and help out in their community in dire situations.
Character to Theme Almost everyone is prejudice in some way or another, its almost impossible not to be. Its almost as difficult to not act on the prejudiceness inside almost each and every one of us. Atticus Finch was an amazing person because he seemed to have mastered this skill. If he was prejudice, he did an extremely well job of hiding it because throughout the whole To Kill a Mockingbird book it seems as if he is only ever trying to be helpful to everyone or at the very least he is always trying to show respect to everyone around him. This is the exact opposite of what prejudice is.
