...error, the picture included my teammates standing a couple of feet to my right and left. To my right, one of my teammates was walking away, and since the picture was taken as he was moving, he is distorted. Everyone’s uniform was the same, except for the goalie. We did not reach our goal of raising enough money to buy new uniforms, so our uniform only consisted of a number on the front and back of the uniform shirt. The uniform shorts were the same and only had a number on it. On my left, the goalie was putting his gloves on while my other teammates...

...The earliest memory I can reminisce is being in pre-kindergarten. I remember almost every day I and Chandler would push around the school buses, and I would always take the nicest one and give him the bad one. I never really cared about painting or art, I never found it important to me, but I was a little kid and just put random paint on the paper to make the teacher happy. When I was young even in pre-kindergarten I always admired people in uniforms, whether it was police officers, military personnel, or someone in a suit and tie, I never really knew the difference. Since I was always interested in the military I join Civil Air Patrol and went through Encampment. On June 26, 2015, Drivers Ed just ended. I didn’t get to drive much that...

...Austin Grooms Mrs.Abigial Hickman Essay Prompt One English 111 YD5 Santaland Diares is as essay wrote by David Sedaris. It is a humorous account of Sedaris stint working as a Christmas elf in Sanaland at Macy’s Department store. Sedaris reads the essay on a National Public Radio’s Morning on December 23, 1992. Christmas time can be a very stressful time of the year. David uses evidence, ethos, logos and pathos to argue that Christmas may not be as enjoyable as it appears. David uses evidence to support that Christmas may not be as enjoyable as it appears. He talks about how stressful and how it is a difficult time if the year. Sedaris said, “Today, I witnessed fistfights and vomiting and magnificent tantrums.”(Paragraph 7). This example shows how Christmas is not always fun. David states, “Tonight I saw a women slap and shake her crying child. She yelled: Rachel, get on the man’s lap and smile or I’ll give you something to cry about.”(Paragraph 22 ). This show support that Christmas may not always be filled with fun and excitement. The picture captured the smiling child on Santa lap with elves and it appeared like nothing was wrong. But in reality the child was just crying right before the picture was taken. All of these examples show that even though the pictures looked perfect and sweet doesn’t mean the child was an angle before or after the picture was taken. David Sedaris uses ethos in Santaland Diaries . David was born on December 26, 1956 in Binghamton, New...

...Genre is a way of classifying and then categorising a particular text, they are made up of their own codes and conventions for example narrative, characters and themes which standardise the way in which a story is told. In T.V and Film these are often subverted to produce hybrid genres or to give a social realist aesthetic. This is explicitly obvious within the Crime genre. Although the genre progresses in a linear fashion, it often relishes upon nostalgia and gritty realism to attract the audience. Vladimir Propp’s narrative theory of, order - disorder – re-establishment of order: is standard within the crime genre. It enables channels to fulfil their Public service Broadcasting (PSB) remit whilst not committing to commoditisation, therefore maintaining the realistic aesthetic which the genre relies upon. Appealing to a wider audience and creating universal appeal. The narrative seen allows the audience to view the programme within the boundaries of space and time, whilst maintaining a neutral point of view. The hybridisation between an open and closed narrative allows for an ensemble cast. The use of an ensemble cast/recurring list of characters allows the programme to maintain a set structure, some characters appear in all episodes such as Nick Stokes in CSI, allowing the audience to gather ‘evidence’ on the characters and depict their lifestyles. The focus of the audience is maintained on a main character either from episode to episode or series to series. Understanding...

...ENG2601 ASSIGNMENT 1 The Forest of Souls “The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean.”- Robert Lewis Stevenson This quote sums up my experience in comparing and contrasting the extracts from The Forest of Souls by Carla Banks. In order to truly understand what the writer is trying to say, a combination of language features, language strategies and other components are put together to create a mind-boggling, attention-grabbing novel. A novel that consist of different contexts, different genres and different tone and writing styles combined, letting the reader experience exactly what the writer is trying to say. Extract 1 is an account of the first public hanging that took place in the city of Minsk, Soviet Union under the Nazi occupation. (Mullany, 2010) The men, Kiril Trus and a sixteen year old Volodia Shcerbatsevich were members of a partisan cell organizing anti-fascist resistance. The seventeen year old girl, Masha Bruskina was a nurse who had been caught aiding the partisans. She provided civilian clothes and papers for wounded Red Army soldiers under her care and smuggle them back to the resistance. It is an in depth description of the brutality of this event, with emphasis on the circumstances under which this event took place. Extract 2 is an account, sixty years after this event. A journalist Jake Denbigh is working on the experiences of war-time immigrants during the 2nd World War. (www.carlabanks.uk/forest/) Jake is visiting...

...Come back, he emphasises the feelings of emptiness that death can bring. He uses half-rhyme to create a disjointed, unnatural feel that makes the poem feel strange and creates a strange disjointed harmony. It doesn’t quite sound right. This is superbly appropriate for the subject itself. Even though the dead soldier looks as if he is just sleeping, he isn’t. It isn’t quite right. He also builds on the series of questions he asks in the poem to build up to the most profound of all: “Oh what made fatuous sunbeams toil to break earth’s sleep at all?” Here we see how he cannot understand why the universe bothered to raise anything, to build a civilisation, when it is all for nothing. We destroy each other. Although Come on, Come back is a narrative poem, it still uses the structure to build up to a climax, just as Owen did. The line lengths and the way the lines fall, as well as the odd rhymes of ‘stone’ in the first stanza are also disjointed and fragmented. Thus we see how the poet uses rhythm and rhyme to create a sense of a fragmented, confused, disharmonious world. The...

...English Composition I 14 April 2012 Tim O’Brien Readers familiar with details from O’Brien personal life find in this novel “links” between his art and his life. The New York Times selected the book The Things They Caried as one of the best works of war fiction for the year, and Chicago Tribute awarded the novel its Heartland Prize. According to O'Brien, in using these interrelated sections of facts, story, confession, commentary, and narration of other people's experiences, he forced himself to invent a new form that blurs the boundaries between fact and fiction, short story and novel, memory and imagination. Tim O’Brien, who describes himself as “strict realist”, who dismisses critics labels of “surrealist” or “magical realist”, but admit, that he is “war writer”. Tim O’Brien uses a mixture of facts and fictions (truth and reality) to reveal the complexities of war. Tim O’Brien mixes truth and fiction in his stories.

In his novel are revision, after revision of what could happened, what might have happened, what did happened and what did not happened. The things they carried as a complete work is different from reading the stories...

...Greek philosophies and theories were composed of empiricism and rationalism. Questions that relate to human existence; mind and body, as we will see, were developed on the assumption that knowledge comes from experience. Some theories were so powerful that they have been moulded and manipulated to fit into the faculty of various religious beliefs and practices. The contributions of Socrates (500 BC) still remain to this day, and are studied in great depth such as the “Republic of Plato” which was written by Plato. Socrates, one of the world’s most influential philosophers, who was seemingly ahead of his time, shaped elegant theories which illuminated many of the puzzling aspects regarding life and death – body and soul. In the following narrative, we will describe the main differences, properties, and functions between the body and the soul, according to Socrates. Accompanying will be an explanation of what Socrates sought to be the underlying characteristics interacting within the body and soul. The ways in which Socrates describes the characteristics is what makes him so fundamentally different from any other philosopher. The following information is based on an exceptional piece of literature titled, “Phaedo” which was originally written by Plato, and more recently translated by G.M.A. Grube (2000). In the beginning of Phaedo, Socrates introduces various sub-theme theories that he uses to validate and solidify his convictions on the explanation of...

...Pynchon’s fast-paced, multi-faceted plot and complicated, intertextual prose work to leave the reader not only with mere images or metaphorical descriptions of disconnectedness, but their own personal experience at the frustration of searching for clarity when complexity dominates and chaos reigns supreme. The physical geography of Oedipa’s Californian setting creates a wider sense of disconnectedness that transfers to the mental landscapes of individuals, all searching for answers and solidarity of truth. However, this search will be in vain within the pages of postmodernist fiction, whose tools are fragmentation, duplicity and a distrust of any overarching master...

...Khoa Nguyen English 1005 Assignment of Personal Sport Narrative Essay Date: 02/04/2011 The Unforgettable Tournament Last year, after summer vacation, I went to my student soccer team kind of sad. My past captain, the person whom I had really admired, had moved to another team. I did not really feel down, though, because many of my friends were playing with me this year. The greatest thing I had learned about soccer is “Team Spirit”, which I thought my team was full of. Day by day, we played together, joked in the yard, hung out after tired matches. I was so happy to have them as teammates. In my city, there were many rival teams, and they were always trying to pull pranks on each other. Sometimes nothing serious happened, but sometimes something really terrible happened. I remembered the time our team did not have any uniforms because someone has painted them. Luckily, we could have new uniforms, which I thought were better, but we also had to pay a lot of money for them. This season was not just like any season before. We had a new captain, and we were also playing competitive soccer, which was a lot different than our normal soccer. Instead of playing with other local teams, we got to play in big tournaments and against different teams from other cities. The games were also more vivid; I remember the first game, against a team from Hue City, the city next to my city. We called this “Derby Game”. It was totally different than anything I had seen, as we were getting...
