another social insitiution is william, who not only supporst his writing talents, but also helps him gain confidence within his work. he allows him to visit ehrn hr needs too and he helps him by editing his work too sheer perfection. Jamal even refers to him as his "teacher" which is a huge sign of respect when his fellow peers begin to get curious. one other inferior soscal institution would be claire, a female who is present throughout his school career, but he also begins to devolpe feelings for her. this is an achievement because he is actually beginning to show feelings for a person outside his
In his second paragraph we find a single sentence shot through with figurative language. ”Be the companion of his thought, the friend of his friendship, the lover of his virtue – but no kinsman of his sin.” Breaking this down one can see four clear examples in one sentence. Be the companion of his thought; Emerson is telling the readers to play along with the thoughts of the child, encouraging and understanding how they think The friend of his friendship; we are instructed to create an environment that is comfortable for the child and one that respects the unique nature of the child. The lover of his virtue; Support the positive things that the child does, reward them for their virtuous behavior. But no kinsman of his sin; Accept no foolishness and do not support the child when they break the rules or behave badly.
Also, the teacher wants to tell her to enjoy it on top of to believe it. The speaker further states, “That changing your mind is one of the best ways of finding out whether or not you still have one.” The word choice of the speaker shows that he is a decent man with good thoughts to help his student. He tried his best to help Lilly when her classmates are making funs of her. He even named the poem “Like Lilly Like Wilson”. It seems like he did it on purpose so he can tell the story behind the title and show why he named the title this way.
O’Brien says, “The man who opened the door that day is the hero of my life”(143). Elroy Berdahl, the owner of the Tip Top Lodge, is a sort of silent company. He does not ask questions despite Tim’s underlying suspicion that he knows exactly what is going on. Tim says “What I remember more than anything is the man’s willfull, almost ferocious silence. In all that time together, all those hours, he never asked the obvious questions:... My hunch, though, is that he already knew.
There is little to none emotion in their society. People will rather take part in their own personal interest than spend time with their own family. Every thought or feeling was interrupted with the constant din of the television. Page 72(“of course I'm happy. What does she think I'm not?”) Montag thought about what Clarisse had asked him because he was realizing the truth which was him not being happy.
When Thoreau read Emerson’s writing he began to live that life himself and started to build his home. It was nothing more than a shanty, that barely kept the rain and cold winds out, but he took what he had and turned it into a beautiful one room home where he lived a life that he only done what needed to be done nothing more. Both men wrote about living a life without materials, but Thoreau himself takes the writing and turns it into a life for him. By taking this adventure in life he could see what life had to offer, what he could offer, and what he wanted in his life. I myself seem to be a materialist, because I like to have the items that today have to offer in life.
I can remember this one time I would tell old Allie to meet me at Bobby’s house, even though we would wait for him we never played with him. Allie would just stay next to us. Pretty mean now that I think of it, but he was a good kid for staying next to us. He was a good kid, he really was. Tell you the truth an all, you could never really loose the old kid.
His actions of protesting led him to be encarcerated. To my surprise he went proud and glad. No type of walls or punishments will change his way of thinking. He believed that they can lock him up, but his mind can not be contained. He stayed there for one night and to his surprise, his
He says that he is there to help and he wants his son to take his experiences and learn from them. Through rhetorical questions, he informs about the education he wants his son to have. Carefully, he develops the assertion that it is important to know about a whole topic, not just a little piece of it. This reveals Chesterfield’s value that when his son reaches beyond his peers, he will gain pleasure for being the best educated so far, but what Chesterfield really wants his son to learn is that you really accomplish nothing until you master what your learning. Therefore, Lord Chesterfield strongly develops his ideal values through rhetorical strategies.
HUM101 The Hero and the Saint After listening to both lectures from Professor Ambrosio, regarding his views on the Hero typology and the Saint typology in the way of living, It’s seems that the hero is the one who is to set the example and set the standard on how one should live. My personal opinion based on the lectures, is that the Hero is usually seen as the father figure who you look up to and aspire to gain the approval of, whereas the saint is more akin to the mother figure who you love for her ability to teach through her own humility and also her never wavering faith in her child’s ability to succeed. In Professor Ambrosio’s dissection of the hero he mentioned how the hero’s reality is to have been shaped with struggle and respect whereas the Saint is to have their reality shaped by the bonds of the relationships that they create with other, while I do acknowledge that both of these realities are both very common and very real ways of living, I ultimately think that the reality of life is certainly lived through more than just struggle and relationships. Just as a major highway has many paths to take and explore, I feel that Professor Ambrosio seems to never consider others methods of living, especially that of the now all too famous and constantly stated “YOLO” aka you only live once. In the lectures, the hero is cast as somewhat of an egomaniac and or narcissist in that their point of living is supposedly the endless pursuit of self-fulfillment, self-excellence and constant boosts of self-esteem.
