How does Sebold use representations of speech and other literary techniques to portray Ray Singh in the following extract? In the extract Alice Sebold uses representations of speech and other literary techniques to present Ray Singh as a very nice but different outsider. The extract is located just after Len Fenerman finds Susie's notes from Mr. Botte's class. Towards the end of the extract the use of irony in "Suburbia: The American Experience" is used to demonstrate the segregation between Ray and his "American" acquaintances. Also the fact that this book was written post 9/11 places a huge spotlight on Ray Singh, this makes the reader think that Ray Singh is used as a Symbol of all the immigrants and travellers in America.
Page 10 Sensitivity Analysis: Benefits: Based on the Benefits Sensitivity graphs above we can see that the priorities of the two alternatives I have chosen change in a similar manner. Moreover, it seems like the cut-off points for Political and Social impacts are approximately the same. Thus, at the beginning the benefits of rejecting TransCanada application are always higher but as we increase all priorities shown above, the benefits of accepting Keystone XL will surpass the ones of rejecting it. Opportunities: If we examine the Opportunities Sensitivity graphs we can see that they are almost identical to the ones we have under Benefits. The priorities of the two alternatives I have chosen change in a similar manner.
He describes how brilliant of a student Nathaniel really was, “…Barnoff had never seen a student go months without practice, as Nathaniel sometimes did, then pick up an instrument and get such a great sound out of it” (19). Nathaniel attended Julliard, which is a prestigious art school in New York. Even with a mental illness Nathaniel was taught to play string bass but taught himself how to play the cello and violin. He can pick up, virtually, any instrument and start playing music like nothing. Steve Lopez received instruments from fans of Nathaniel’s story.
I also liked the way that the author went into every detail making the book easier for me to go back and review or read a certain topic again. I admired the way Napoleon won battles and was determined to win at any cost. I enjoyed the book, but I just have a different view or perspective than Owen Connelly of Napoleon. Owen Connelly negatively focused so much about Napoleon’s blunders. The author believes that Napoleon won many battles because of his enemies’ mistakes and not because of what he actually was…the greatest military mind that ever lived.

This is an exception in under-developed countries such as India where a caste system is still present. Priestland’s belief is that through studying the past and how society functioned, we can understand and solve current day economic and social issues. The middle class has become the dominant factor in how most countries operate and succeed especially in the United States. After reading Merchant Soldier Sage: A New History of Power, I too am a strong believer in studying the past and how it has created the world as we know it and the world to come. Works Cited: Priestland, David.
It is because of the corrupt community that the Beckman administrative department has enforced and engraved upon the students. In an effort to enforce appreciation the members of the art community, Mr.Moon, Mr.Kollias, and Mrs.Stuck have collaborated in a series of lunch performances entitled, “The Brown Bag Theatre” which highlights some of the most talented kids at Beckman. How many people show up? On average, about 30. Beckman contains over 2,500 students, and yet only 30 could show up to support students who have spent weeks practicing for their performance!
Nicks Liability Not every narrator is the voice of the author. Before considering the "gap" between author and narrator, we should remember how, as readers, we respond to the narrator's perspective, especially when that voice belongs to a character who, like Nick, is an active participant in the story. In The Great Gatsby, the story is told through the eyes of an active, biased, participant. Nick Carraway has a special place in this novel. He is not just one character among several, it is through his eyes and ears that we form our opinions of the other characters making him unreliable.
He was quoted saying that, “Nathaniel had a lot of innate talent. Many students of mine ended up becoming lawyers and doctors, but he loved music with a passion.” (Patricia, 2009) Although Mr. Ayers was offered a scholarship to attend music school at Ohio University and Ohio State, he aspired to attend Julliard School of Music in New York City. He was accepted to the school on a full scholarship as a double bassist. Unfortunately, during his third year at Julliard’s, he suffered a mental breakdown and had to be institutionalized. There was some speculation that Mr. Ayers felt extreme pressure to prove himself as one of the few African American students in the highly competitive school.
