Emma's Trip With Ndoli

Decent Essays
Blog post #4
This chapter was really interesting. I like how Emma doesn't want to go to her trip with
Ndoli , because she feels better alone. The book caught my attention when she started talking to the lady in the house that used to be their neighbor and Emma was talking more about her mother, and the book was really sad at that moment. She explains how her mother died and she was so thankful that she survived. Then she walks to her old house where she grew and was with her mother and it's really sad because she stared at a picture. It was her mother's picture, and she started talking to the picture, crying and laughing at the same time.
I can compare this to me because ones one really good friend of ours came and it was his
50 birthday

    1) I liked how she starts her story with the emotional moment of the accident, that part made me feel dizzy and disorientated like her, at the beginning it was kind of hard to interpreted the text and what was happening at the time. The parts were the police were treating her like an animal really made me mad and I felt a little bit of impotence when hearing about how they waited so long to help her and they hurt her even more. I was actually disgusted but not surprised of the way the police treated her in the hospital, it was to be expected, besides she “killed” one of their own and on top of it she was a woman of color. I admire Assata greatly in this chapter, she is so brave and has a strong will of power, if I were in her place I would have cried and begged since the first punch to the stomach. I can connect the way they treated Assata during…

    and I loved it. There were lots of things that I liked about the book, the part where Elliot is in the forest and Alexis is trying to stop her from walking because she was going to kill herself, that was interesting. The story was not believable because you don’t hear these kind of things. There wasn’t much that I didn’t like about the book. The story wasn’t predictable because it would be a mystery of what would happen…

    In Emma Hall’s article, she discusses the importance of diverse marketing groups coming together to form a coalition of better online ads to meet consumer’s needs. Since the rise of ad blocking is coming more prevalent in the internet world, programs such as Adblock Plus are in the process of selling creative ads to allow consumers the benefits of receiving ads that meet their expectation and avoid ads that do not acquire their interest. For example, I used to work in inside sales at a local newspaper agency where I sold both print and digital advertisement to customers. Our company used a third party marketing group to create quality ads for our customers and digital ads were used to drive more people into businesses via digital marketing.…

    Greed and Poverty: The effects on family in As I Lay Dying Aristotle once said that "Poverty is the parent of crime," and there could not be a more flawless quote that describes the theme of poverty in the novel "As I Lay Dying" by William Faulkner. The novel tells the story of the Bundren 's trip to Jefferson to bury their beloved mother and wife, Addie. However, Aristotle 's quote is ironic considering it is the best resemblance of Anse Bundren, the father and antagonist, of the novel. Anse is the reason the Bundren 's journey to Jefferson has turned into a disastrous adventure.…
