Drown Draft #1 In the book Drown, the narrator says “You watch anything long enough and you can become an expert at it. Get to know how it lives, what it eats…when I’m fifty this is how I’ll remember my friends: tired and yellow and drunk.” These quotations were used by the narrator to describe the relationship between him and his friends. In the first chapter of the book the narrator Yunior spends most of his time with his older brother Rafa. Their relationship in this chapter is not friendly at all. On page 5 of the page the narrator describes how things were back in the capital and how Rafa only hung out with his friends and barely paid any attention to Yunior.

They were intended to persuade his critics and reassure his supporters that he was doing all that was possible to protect the Republic. Publishing summaries of his campaigns was one of the best ways to record his successes, which were numerous, so that literate and wealthy citizens could hear of his accomplishments. His rhetorical audience would be all Roman citizens. However, the ones who would learn of his actions first would obviously be the Senate, considering it was the ruling body
Luke is a very loving father, and he seems to show the most love to his daughter because she is the youngest, she comes and visits most often, and for the longest periods of time. Luke says “And if one of my sons had come to me that night, I would have phoned the police and told them to meet us with an ambulance at the top of the hill” (Dubus 117). Luke expresses that it is not that he loves his sons any less; but that he could bear to watch his sons take the punishment they would receive if they had done what their sister did. Even though he is protecting his daughter he is leaving a mark on the young man’s family. Luke doesn’t know that no one will find out about what happened.
One of the most influential people in Rome was Marcus Cicero, a great philopsoper as we say and exam most of his work today we see a story of a honored and respected man as well as loyal, but his loyalty would prove to be his greatest downfall and which would lead to his exicution.

I however beg the court to listen to my defensive evidence before coming into conclusion of whether I was justified to run away or not. I served my master from the time I was a young boy. I got married as a slave, bore children, and developed my family and relations at this place. This I did with consummate loyalty and commitment and no single day did I resist or rebel my masters orders. I became a trusted slave my all the members of the family and ran errands some which affected this family directly.
This is deliberately aimed at showing the public his honour and that he will do anything for Rome “I loved Caesar but I love Rome more” the use of the emotive language and the repetition of love further highlight this. While Brutus tries to convince through reason Antony directly aims for the heart. Throughout his speech the use of Platos and Reductio is evident this is aimed at emphasising to the people their love of Caesar and through this show them the wrongful nature of his assignation. In his opening line of “Friends, romans and countrymen” the use of placing friends as the first word evidently show that Antony is using the emotive language of friends to emphasis the emotional aspects of the assassination. Showing Caesar as just not a leader but as “my dear and close friend” reinforces the mortal qualities of Caesar and stark
Another example of his viewpoint on the effects of the institution of slavery is found when Solomon is observing the son of Mr. Epps, his last master, dealing with Uncle Abram, one of the slaves, “The child is father to the man…The influence of the iniquitous system necessarily fosters an unfeeling and cruel spirit, even in the bosoms of those who, among their equal, are regarded as humane and generous.” Pg. 261.

This excerpt was taken from “Narrative of the life by Frederick Douglass” who everyone knows as an American Slave who has been raised by his slave-owners for part of his lifetime. When he first arrived at this home that the Hugh’s family owned he describes his mistress as “a pious, warm, tenderhearted woman” until suddenly one day all that changed. Both the master and mistress started acting differently and he had to educate himself. Unlike Malcolm X, Douglass was in a better environment which was at their home after seeing the change he worked constantly every chance he got without them knowing. He realized after learning to read and write this made his mind free but he faced consequences; like dealing with the fact he could understand what their conversations was about.
