Bright Moon originated from a Cantonese poem which was later turned into a lullaby by the government in the late 1900s for parents and children to sing. The original poem reflects on a very deep ethnic nationalist sentiment of different time periods. There are many versions of this rhyme, but every version of the poem begins with the moonlight shining on the earth and farming. In the end the lyrics go, [translation] “Let’s buy a boat, a boat with a leaky bottom to drown the two white boys (another version is “Japanese shorties”) in them. One floating on top of water, one sinking down to the bottom.” The last part actually refers to the hatred of the Cantonese people of Europeans and in other versions, Japanese.
The Titanic Debate: Should It Be Exposed or Not? After 99 years of rest, perfect nirvana, many rumor that the Titanic will be risen from the deep blue sea. I side with the strong disbelievers in this category. Its rude to disturb the people who died there thant night, its where they are happy. That’s just a few reasons why the Titanic should be left under water, in its peace.
"Smoke Clouds" Look no further than the fathers who go further than they should To the point where we're surrounded by the scars behind their hoods And who is gonna teach them wrong from right? Who's gonna tell them it's alright? Just pass the jazz cigarette And take these brain cells out my head Fill my lungs, drain my heart... 'Cause this smoke cloud's giving me shelter And I feel much better And demons wave the white flag for me Still my bones keep pleading to walk out From all of this fall out But there's no way that I could leave So I don't leave Turn my bitterness to sweet I gotta find a new release, yeah. So I'm trading blues for green Da da da da da... ooh, yeah, yeah Listen See, I'm a simple man I don't
“Alec if you yell YOLO one more time I’m going to kill you.” “…LO” We laughed again including Kera unable to get mad at the kid who was about to ruin his hair and gave us so much entertainment. Finally the dye was in and after 20 minutes or so Kera washed it out. The glorifying moment of seeing the Golden Haired Wonder was about to occur, but all we heard from the other side of the door was… “My mother is going to rape my
On September 11, 2006 I broke my neck cheerleading, my less then coordinated flyer fell on top of me crushing my head into cement to rupture one of my vertebrae’s. When I woke up in the hospital, I was left in a hallway for over three hours after my cat scans and x-rays at Strong Memorial Hospital. For some reason they had forgotten that I was in the hallway, once I returned back to my room which I shared with a drunk girl who was receiving fluids. She would not stop screaming and embarrassing herself, but I was embarrassed I broke my neck because some girl fell on me. Then they put me in my own private room, which I wasn’t even allowed to move and the TV was too low to even see because I was strapped down to the bed.

Julia Sanford January 5, 2014 Period 3 Satirical Analysis Satire is used in “A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift, “Advice to Youth by Mark Twain and as an additional resource, satire is also used in the television show “The Simpsons”. “A Modest Proposal” was written in 1729 and during that time most of the people in Ireland lived in poverty due to England’s control over them, so Swift comes up with his “modest proposal” which is to eat babies and sell them. He mockingly states that it can solve all of Ireland’s problems. By presenting his proposal he uses a great amount of satire such as “A young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food”. Also “A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends; and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt will be very good boiled on the first day, especially in the winter”.
They call it a romantic comedy but if you know the pain this guy was going through there was nothing funny about it. This movie won 9 awards and was nominated for 21 including 2 Golden Globes that’s a lot. The movie is very simple it’s a guy Tom thinking back on his 500 wasted days aka 1200 heart stomping hours, aka 720,000 being deforming minutes of life centered around a girl called Summer. From the start of the movie as soon as I heard her say one word I knew she was going to ruin this mans life. A rule every man should know is women want everything in the alphabet from A-Z and that just Aint happening.
He help creates a mental image for the reader that helps produced imagination or conjured up by a stimulus a set for the reader. For example, “He broke out into that goofy smile”. (pg. 37 line 9) Hazel uses imagery to help describe what Augustus smile looks like to her and thus creating a mental picture for the reader to use their imagination. Another example of imagery used in the novel is “but there was nothing they could do to dim the supernova exploding inside my brain, an endless chain of intracranial fire crackers that made me think that I was once and for all going.” (pg.
I once had to attend an entire rice ceremony in the dark. The baby just cried and cried. It must have been so hot” (IM 11). In this case, Lahiri makes the distinction quite vivid but a mere hint can sometimes alert the readers to these situations that mark India and the United States as so far apart. For instance, in the same story, when Shoba used to go shopping, she could be found “arguing under the morning sun with boys too young to shave but already missing teeth….
