Filled with enraging power and full of confidence, Hazel Elizabeth Deborah Parker (also known as Squeaky), is a powerful young woman who cares for her brother, protecting him from bullies while focusing on her running career, which becomes our first impression of her. However she hides most of her true emotions inside, deep within her becoming a very close-minded person. Written by Toni Cade Bambara,” Raymond's Run” is a story which shows Hazel's change from the beginning to the end, showing how she changed as a person and how she resulted with her dark, depressed feelings that she never let on the outside, she never showed others. Her relationships with Gretchen, her family, and with bullies who tease Raymond, not caring about his feelings-- different on the outside than the inside. She shows different emotions--being confident, angry, and powerful on the outside, while she really is really depressed, annoyed, and emotional on the inside.…

In my empathetic response I have written from the perspective of a Roman senator who lived and served during the reign of the emperor Tiberius. The response is intended to have been an extract from the autobiography of my senator, as an impression of Tiberius from contemporary sources, though coloured by the influence of more modern findings. The identity of my senator is important in understanding his stance on the attitudes concerning Tiberius held by the general public, and to this end I have decided to present him under the name of (insert name here ). This choice reflects his obviously patrician status, with his personal name being accompanied by the name of his voting “tribe” and the familial cognomen (Bradley 1990, ).…

to change their behaviors is conveyed through the Misfit, who comments “Jesus was the only One that ever raised the dead… and He shouldn’t have done it… and if He didn’t, then it’s nothing for you to do but enjoy the few minutes you got left the best way you can-by killing somebody or burning down this house or doing some other meanness to him. No pleasure but meanness” (O’Connor, “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” 152). In every situation, whether it be in the contemporary world or prior, there will always be some people who refuse to change for the sake of continuing to commit injustices. The Misfit suggests that choosing not to believe in a God who raises people from the dead and gives the second chances makes it possible for people to enjoy…

Greetings, I am a foreign diplomat from a far country, and I am on my first visit to the great city of Rome. From my first exposure to Roman society and specifically the all-powerful leader, Augustus, the currency presented a message by itself. Currency symbolizes survival and stability; therefore, by encrypting Augustus’ face on the symbol of strength, it directly associated Rome’s strength to Augustus. For example, to buy food or clothing to survive, merchants demanded a payment in gold. Presenting Augustus on the currency efficiently glorifies Augustus for the thriving country during this time.…
Augustus scored a touch down today! He'll never know it but the other team allowed it. Augie lives with a spastic diaplegia. He struts like Jar Jar Binx and has the courage of a lion. My favorite lion, The Cowardly one; he's fragile, loving and unknowingly brave.…
The two excerpts from “The Fault In Our Stars” by John Green, and “ The Love Song” by J. Alfred Prufrock, The speaker in the poem intricately explains Augustus’s and Hazel's view about life.
