In a patronising and condescending letter to the editor G J Wowser egotistically contends that the drink driving age should be changed to twenty-one. G J Wowser is critical of young drivers and aims to portray them as ‘irresponsible and careless’. Wowser positions the reader to think of teenagers as ‘irresponsible’ and incapable of drinking and driving by twenty-one. This can be identified in his description of young people as ‘tearaways’. This portrays Wowser’s bitter view on younger drivers and positions the audience to think all young people are irresponsible and ineligible to be driving on our roads.
Valerie Montanez January 23, 2014 Period 1 The separation between nature and people is becoming more distinct with each generation. In the passage, “Last Child in the Woods”, Richard Louv is arguing against the gap between the two by effectively using imagery, repetition, hyperboles, dialogue, metaphors, and rhetorical questions. Louv provided the example of his friend declining the car salesman’s offer of the “backseat television monitor” and seeing his “jaw drop” in amazement. He used dialogue to support his argument and provide another person’s view on how hypocritical and disconnected people are becoming. He rhetorically asked, “Why so many Americans say they want their children to watch less TV, yet continue to expand the opportunities for them to watch it?” Also, children are now distancing themselves and missing out on the “drive-by movie” from

LA HONORS A TALE OF TWO CITIES WORKSHEET – SUMMERIZER Chapter 9-10 Basically in the beginning Jarvis is frustrated with Cruncher for the little secrets he had been keeping such as grave-robbing other than minding his work at the bank, but Cruncher begs to differ and believes that there are many people involved in the robbing. Carton tells Jerry and Cruncher that he plans to visit Darnay before his execution. So the letter that Manette apparently wrote explains the story of Manettes imprisonment. Also I was confused did both Darnays father and uncle rape the pesant who died because of a fever??? Anyways Manette couldn’t save the life of the young pesant and was arrested because of Marquis Evermonde.
The descriptions of the motorcycle and the “greasy character,” both produce the tough image that the narrator, Jeff, and Digby yearn for, whereas the narrator’s mother’s “whining” station wagon does not (125, 127). When the narrator, Jeff, and Digby retreat to the woods and the lake after their attempted rape, the narrator’s car is demolished and trashed by the angry greasy man, and two “blond types [wearing] fraternity jackets” that appear in a Trans-Am. The demolition of the narrator’s car symbolizes how weak and vulnerable he is, like a little school boy getting beaten up by an older, tougher bully, and takes away whatever “bad” boy image he had left. After emerging from their hide outs in the lake, the boys return to their car the next morning and are greeted by two

In the Near v. Minnesota case of 1931, alcohol was being smuggled into Minneapolis from Canada because alcohol was prohibited by the 18th Amendment. The gangs smuggling the alcohol were paying the mayor and chief of police to ignore their work. Jay Near printed articles accusing the people bribed, but also expressing his racism towards Jewish people, saying, “There have been too many men… in official life, who HAVE been taking orders and suggestions from JEW GANGSTERS, therefore we HAVE Jew Gangsters, practically running Minneapolis…” This provoked the county attorney to cite the 1925 Minnesota law (called the “gag law”) prohibiting printing of “malicious, scandalous and defamatory” newspapers. Near claimed the law was a prior restraint and unconstitutional, and there was a trial. The case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court where they said that prior restraint, except in rare cases, is unconstitutional for violating the First Amendment.
