    Beryl Markham, in the excerpt from her autobiography West with the Night, reveals that she is an adventurous individual by using long and complex sentences in describing her excitement of flying, juxtaposing lonely yet free ideas, and illustrating vivid imagery of her surroundings while flying. Markham illustrates detailed imagery of her surroundings by describing that “the Earth is nor more than it is a distant star - if a star is shining; the plane is your planet and you are its sole inhabitant” (Markham). This implies that Markham feels that the world is so negligible compared to her and her plane which are basically equivalent to a really small and insignificant entity. Her use of the words “Earth,” “star,” and “planet” describe the extent…

    Orphan Trains The main point of the documentary on orphan trains is child welfare and the method that was used in 1859 where children from an urban city that were homeless and poor were gathered up and put in homes and the idea of Charles Lauren Brace was to put them on a train and find good farming Christian families from the western states to raise these children. Some of the misconceptions that were faced with this idea was that the child will be better off in the homes that they are placed in, but, that was not true because, in some instances the child would run away or in some cases was killed by the families they were placed in. In most cases, the idea was successful because, the program produced two state governors, but, there was stigmatism for the children who were known to be adopted in the community they were placed in.…

    The most satisfying feeling in the world is when all of a sudden, everything clicks. It's the feeling when all the information just learned is suddenly arranged in that perfect way that makes understanding all the moving parts and how they fit together easy. What makes a book truly great is its ability to engage the reader in a way that allows them to finally see the point of the book. A World Lit Only by Fire by William Manchester, a lengthy summary of the medieval times and how they came to an end, does not deliver. The author makes several points in his “Author’s Note” about what the purpose of the book is, and in doing so, directs the reader in a certain direction regarding his theme and along the way, confuses the reader as well as never gets to his own points.…

Nick was constantly sucked into other characters’ lives as currents often do to small, helpless children, pulling them far into the ocean. Characters in the story like Daisy, Gatsby, and Tom felt a divine inclination to tell Nick everything there was to know about them.…
