“Private life, book life, took place where words met imagination with passing through world.” On pages 120 and 121, Dillard talks about reading books; she talks about the extent that she reads to, and what happens when she does that. This is the perfect example of one of the functions of reading shown throughout the book: learning from books and using the imagination. Dillard reads a book, and takes in new knowledge. She then uses her imagination to apply what she has learned to then create an imaginary world where she can escape reality. Throughout the book, Dillard reads about experiences, adventures, events in history, and people.

Hello, Andrea. This is Marie E. and, I will be your e-structor who will help you in your paper. Shall we start now? *Strengths of the essay: I like that you included dialogues in your work. Here’s an example: “Caitlin called and said, “My Mom’s dead!” Dialogues are important because they help your readers visualize your experience.
Her first project was to write a biography of Abraham Lincoln, similar to the one she’d written about Madame Roland. The time Ida spent on “The Life of Abraham Lincoln” sparked Ida’s interest in politics and made her more patriotic. Ida Tarbell’s personal experience as a girl in the oil region led to another assignment; a history of the Standard Oil Company. As Ida began to share the details of the effect the Standard Oil Company Trust had on her family and hometown, her interest in her assignment began to grow. John Phillips (partner at McClur’s) convinced Ida to write an outline to show to McClure.
Aspiring Ambition, Summary of Lean In In the reading “Lean In: What Would You Do If you Were Not Afraid?,” the author, Sheryl Sandberg, the Chief Operating Officer of Facebook, urges that women have to encourage themselves if they want to embrace leadership. Owing to her experiences, personal life’s stories and well- developed research, Sandberg overpoweringly urges to women to fight for what they want to pursue and open their eyes cleverly for changing the conceptions that society has imposed them. She begins this reading by giving the facts about how the aspirations of her family were, yet she specifically points out how the efforts and achievements of her grandmother inculcated in her education a wide sense of equality. Throughout Sandberg’s education, she realized the gendered beliefs and roles that society and even her family had formed about women’s aspirations for leadership are not equal to those of men. In fact, Sandberg exposes the necessity of more positive descriptions of working women and fewer conceptions that limit what they can do across the home and workplace.
Within my paper I am going to discuss Spells, Divinations, Incantations, Rituals, Celebrations and the history of all Witchcraft. Anthropologists and religious experts have recently been debating the question, is Wicca a religion? To answer this question I am going to have to ask many of my own questions like, what makes a belief a religion? And, Why is Wicca a religion or not? To explain this in detail I have brought together sources from both sides of the argument, such as Silver Ravenwolf’s Teen Witch: Wicca for a New Generation which persuades the reader to think that Wicca is an established religion and Geertz, Armin W. "Hopi Indian Witchcraft and Healing", which says that it is not an established religion.
In "A Soul as Free as the Air: About Lucy Stone" I felt this was a character study which focuses on a specific person of interest. This essay also has a great thesis statement, but does it differently than the previous essay. This thesis simply tells you about the life of Lucy Stone summed up into a few main points which as you progress in reading the essay, you will find that it goes more in depth of what actually happened in her lifetime and also how it happened. The four types of essay organization that was discussed in the readings were Expository, Persuasive, Analytical,

Within many literary works and films the author implants different symbols that stand out to the reader or the viewer and last in their minds throughout the entire story. A symbol by definition is an object that has both literal function and deeper meaning. In the movie, A Lesson Before Dying, there are a few symbols that stand out to me such as the globe, the radio, and the notebook. The globe first presented itself in the classroom when Grant Wiggins went to visit Vivian in her classroom and she explained to him what her children had been doing and the different places they told her they wanted to go. That was one of the first times you heard Grant say he wanted to leave just as soon as he could get out he was going to leave and he wanted to take Vivian with him.
The Wiccan Way Candace Thompson Hum/130 June 18, 2010 Sonja Sheffield Axia College at University of Phoenix Always fascinated with the Wiccan religion and desiring to learn more, the opportunity arose in my World Religions class and I delved into it learning about "The Mystery Religion" for my final paper. Discovering that there are numerous denominations of Wicca, not unlike Christianity, in which there are the Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, etc., some Wiccans practice Gardenarian, Alexandrian, or Dianic witchcraft.
