Miller is said to stand “erect, with menacing aspect, like an avenging goddess,” while Mrs. Carteret is described as “a trembling supplicant.” The adjectives “erect,” “menacing,” and “avenging,” like the noun “goddess,” all invoke impressions of authority and power. The adjective “trembling” and the noun “supplicant,” in contrast, both denote weakness.

For this assignment I decided to visit the Houston Zoo. I decided to visit the Zoo as it has been years since I have been to the zoo. My last visit was probably when I was in kindergarten, which I don’t really remember what I saw at the zoo other than the animals.

Inspired by words on the Banished Word List, our team was tasked to come up with 10 words which we…

sound the same. It seems that Madison spelled neighbors as the same way she would say it without breaking the word up into chunks or syllables. Madison capitalized the beginning of every sentence and the word ‘I’, but did not capitalize the proper noun, ‘Molly’. She knew to end each sentence with a period, but did not use any other punctuation other than the periods and the exclamation point at the end. Some guidance I could give Madison to help her sentence structure would be to first use the…

It can also be metaphors that have been switched from their original meaning without the person using them even knowing. An example given by Orwell of such is the phrase “toe the line” is sometimes written as “tow the…
