I could only read a line but slowly, I felt the words slip away from my head, leaving only a blur in my head while trying to memorize the words. But even when it was blurry, the feeling of the line blazed as if it was stamped there with fiery steel. It’s such a pleasure to be able to crush the books with such wild devotion, it felt like I was going to go insane…everything was so bright and beautiful that I wasn’t even able to think about anything else. I couldn’t help myself from feeling the excitement of doing it again tomorrow. Guy Montag Today… Dear Diary, While I was walking home, I felt a sudden calm of something around the corner, moving in the starlight towards the house.
In paragraph 10, when he describes the trouble of collecting the items needed for a cup of coffee with other customers, he states “You and your companions may strive for a ballet of courtesy, but what you end up performing is more like bumper cars.” It seems like just a tiny comparison to explain the trouble of getting everything for your one simple cup of coffee, but if the reader were to go back to the 1st paragraph, they would notice the author said “The trick is to manage it so that the components don’t bump into each other in ways that produce confusion, frustration, and inefficiency...” when he defines what a coordination problem is. This simile not only gives a comparison to describe what the process to get coffee is really like, but it also ties the essay together to emphasize the thesis that getting coffee these days is much more of a managing problem than a nice, daily
Symbolism and the Grapes of Wrath Very often in a novel symbolism is overlooked. Without realizing what some objects symbolize you are only reading part of the book. Throughout the Grapes of Wrath Steinbeck uses symbolism to provide a deeper understanding of the novel to the readers. Not everyone catches the important symbols. Coffee is an innocent enough substance, but it represents so much more than just a refreshing drink that wakes you up.
Drawing on what you have learnt from the “Making Social Lives” DVD and “Learning Companion 1”, describe some inequalities on City Road. City Road is a 1 mile stretch of road which is one of the busiest roads in Cardiff. It is used by a wide range of people at all hours of the day and night, home to a wide range of people and full of shops, restaurants, takeaways and bars. People use the road for many different purposes, including working on city road, using it to get elsewhere as well as visiting the range of different shops. In this TMA I will be explaining what inequalities I have established are present on City Road using the DVD and Learning Aids provided.
With reference to what you have learnt about City Road,outline how material things contribute towards differences on a street which you know. The street i'm going to talk about is called Staveley Road in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands.It is a busy road that leads into the town centre,it has a mixture of shops and houses,two public houses a large playing field and a childrens playpark.it also has a mosque and a church.It has a diverse multiracial community and this is reflected in the range of shops and the people that use them.There is competition for space from both people and traffic and it's these differences which im going to talk about.

Barbara was outraged about what she was hearing and was determined to do something about this injustice. She always was known for speaking her mind so she decided to put this talent to good use and began to protest with the mob. Coincidently, one morning she chose to eat breakfast at Jimmy’s Café, a local diner. Still angered by the morning’s events, she thought this would be a good place to gather her thoughts and come up with a plan. She had just ordered coffee and scrambled eggs when she noticed a man who was familiar to her in a booth in the back of the diner.
[Adala feels terribly guilty and it is obvious in the way that she holds her head in her hands and hides her face in shame. The officer pages other airport staff on his radio to find the man Adala described. He then brings her luggage out from behind the desk and hands them to their owner.] Security – [holding the door open for Adala] You’re free to go, Miss Kamel. Thank you for helping America fight the war on terrorism.
I can’t remember his name, but wow my experience with him is something, that I will never forget. I first saw him standing with Sara and her cousin outside, so I went out there to talk to them. Well come to find out this cross dressed man, was very eccentric. He seemed straight, because he kept asking to “fuck me” (sorry about the language). He was very perverted and would kiss Sara, her cousin, Michelle and I on the neck and he even licked Michelle’s ear.
My skin had lost its gleam of youth, and my hair had turned grey. Some terminal illness brought on by the fumes of the Enigmatic, slowed my progress, yet my scheme had worked. Just like every other Sunday night, I loaded the Enigmatic into the rear of the delivery trucks. Little did the Government, or their workers for that matter know, that the next dose of Enigmatic that the Citizens of the City took, would be their last. My drug would release them from their devotion to the Government, and allow me, 6754, to lead a revolt.
It is very peculiar how once we settle on a routine we do it over and over again without even thinking twice about it. Sitting mid-morning in the gazebo on campus, one can observe people rushing to their next destination; whether that is their next class, dorm room, or car. One can see the cliques of friends, recluses whose only interaction is changing the song on their iPod, exchange students and professors. Like car traffic, people dodge not only each other, but also cyclists and skateboarders. Mugged, written by Jim Crockett, is an essay describing Crockett’s habitual relationship with coffee.
