Santiago accepts fate making him see the vision and did not want to let fate control what he will do with that knowledge so, this helpful choice he makes to warn the council crucial in providing him with a real identity of who he is. This choice makes Santiago able to meet the alchemist who turns out to be a valuable asset in his search of his personal legend. If fate decides this decision, Santiago will not have went and told the oasis chiefs about his vision, the attack would leave him dead or lost in the desert alone and Santiago will then stop developing true identity because fate controls his
It can be interpreted that because this is a letter from Layton to Cromwell, the messaged could very well have contained the absolute and confidential truth; by this I mean any underlying truths that were kept from the public eye could have been mentioned in this letter because it was between Cromwell and his Commissioner. In my opinion, this would make the source more reliable because nothing really is left unsaid. However, because of there being confidentiality, in Source 1, Layton dictates that ‘There can be no better way to beat the King’s authority into the heads of the common people in the North, that to show them that...’ and follows to talk about genuine concern. Not only does this suggest surrounding reasons for the visitations, it also completely undermines the reason suggested by the question. The
If she had had more specific reason as to why she disagreed with me, maybe it wouldn’t have turned me away as quickly and easily. In a nutshell, Tannen says “a ‘let it all hang out’ philosophy emphasizes people expressing their anger without giving them constructive ways of settling differences.” I feel like people, including myself, should step back and ask, “Is the argument worth it?” There doesn’t need to be a winner or loser, just agree to
But, as Tartuffe explains, he is different from "tous ces Galants de Cour" (989) because he is discreet. He can offer her "de l'amour sans scandale, et du plaisir sans peur" (1000). Only now does Elmire mention her husband, but not explicitly in the context of adultery; rather, she asks Tartuffe if he is not afraid that she will tell Orgon, the suggestion being that he might risk losing his privileged position in Orgon's heart and home. Tartuffe replies that he is sure of her discretion, and, astonishingly, his confidence is well-placed. Of course this gives Elmire a degree of power over Tartuffe, but only at the expense of good dévot and even good mondain
Rather than taking an entirely neutral person, who exists outside of the plot, or by placing you very firmly inside the main character as a first person perspective, she chooses to make the main character the narrator, however he is looking back over his experience, so he alone knows what will happen at the end, but he also expresses the feelings of the main character perfectly, because that is who he is. For example “It would be easy to look back and believe that all that day I had had a sense of foreboding about my journey to come, that some sixth sense, some telepathic intuition that may lie dormant and submerged in most men, had stirred and become alert in me.” In this quote, the narrator is clearly looking back, and hints at events to come. However he also tells you about himself truthfully, for he admits that he had no knowledge of what was to come, but it would be easy to claim so. “I can remember the minutest detail of that day, for all that nothing untoward had yet happened, and my nerves were steady,” also shows that the narrator knows what will happen, and knows how it will affect the main character, but also on a personal level as it genuinely is his emotion that he feels. Lastly, the narrator reflects upon how he has changed and this adds another layer to the story.
When her host mom mentions to her she couldn’t bring her to the airport as it was planed, instead of taking it as an offend she could have try to converge her respond to create an open space where common ground can be achieve.

At first, Dolores had believed that the accident wasn’t here fault, or at least wanted to. “Well, I’m not to blame!” (146) is what Dolores had told Mitchell Stephens when they were talking about the accident. However, after learning about what Nichole had done, which was put the blame on her, she reasoned that this was for the best and even felt grateful for it. “…whether they memorialized us or despised us, whether they cheered for our destruction or applauded our victory over adversity, they did it to meet their need, not ours. Which, since it could be no other way, which was exactly as it should be.” (254).

This is important because Bill needs to know that his feelings are valued. When people don’t feel like their business matters this effects any business. The first thing to do is to establish artificial time constraints by letting Bill know that there is an end in sight and the main objective will be to fix his issue and I will not leave the conversation until this issue is resolved. Next, I need to accommodate the nonverbal. This will involve me to not sound threatening to Bill by being warm and kind without sounding like I am pretending to this way.
She is writing to the audience of modern day society. She had read the article “is there something psychologically unhealthy about being a fan” and wrote this article in response to the previous one.

The author is a firm believer that nothing great can come from anyone who does not obsess over something, and that’s who new ideas and things are
