Homer Caraway The Wrong Way Analysis

Improved Essays
With Parnell’s father being the richest man in town it meant that Parnell could do whatever he pleased without anyone saying a word to him. Most of the people who live in town, rent their homes from Homer Caraway. In addition, they also buy their food from his grocery store. They know better than to cross him. If you so much as look at Homer Caraway the wrong way, he will make your life miserable.
In my opinion, the first sentence needed to be reconstructed to simplify and clarify the content. I felt the second sentence was a run on sentence; with the sentence separated with periods instead of commas it brought more emphasis to the point that the town was completely dependent upon Homer Caraway.

    In Jay Walljasper’s article “Back to Work,” he asserts that parks needed to be built or refurbished despite the high expense because the park projects will help the economy to be prosperous. Walljasper supports his thesis about parks with facts and studies that contrast past public works projects with present park systems and states that the park can be seen as the fundamental facility which will develop local communities and the economy. His purpose is to persuade the audience that in order to get people back to work and to build up America’s economy, a job works program is needed. Walljasper delivers this message in an assertive tone to Americans who may care or who may not be aware of the necessity of parks because he believes those facilities…

    This passage appears from Debra Marquart’s The Horizontal World, a memoir about growing up in North Dakota. Marquart’s tone begins as pensive, shifting towards a didactic tone and finally returning toward a pensive tone again as she describes the difficulty and struggle of the old Midwest history. Through the use of rhetorical techniques such as consonance, cumulative sentence structure and parenthesis, the speaker creates a vivid description of the Midwest, characterizing the upper Midwest, along with its history and some of its myths. Marquet begins her pensive tone through the use of cumulative sentence structure in line 5, saying, “If your tires are in proper alignment, you'll only need to tap your steering wheel to keep your car…

    First and foremost it is important to understand who Dale Doback and Brennan Huff are. They are unemployed, nearly 40 years old, and live at their parents’ house who have just gotten married, making them step brothers. They lack even the simplest of adult communication skills and spend a good portion of the movie, at least the first half, just insulting one another with cruel pranks and causing mayhem around the house. As far as job experience goes Brenan manages a fantasy sports league and Dale believes that his father will pass the family business to him which in fact is not a family business at all because his father is a medical doctor. Once it gets to the point of going into job interviews they are good friends so they decide to go together.…

    Upon learning that my roommate has been regularly helping herself to my wallet and chooses not to be a mature adult that takes responsibility for their actions, I would simply break down Bambrough’s proof of the objectivity of morals. The argument in which Bambrough uses will definitely help me to debunk my roommate’s belief in right and wrong being a matter of our opinion and holding no real stance. First off, I would tell my roommate that we most definitely do have moral knowledge. Bamborough proves this existence by pointing to a scenario where a child is to go under surgery, if they do not use any anesthetic while in surgery they will be in excruciating pain. Therefore, we know at least one more proposition to be true.…

Both of these stories show a possible outcome for popularly explored concepts.…

    Out of fear, blame is often presented to those who come off as an easy target. Taking the easy way out seems a lot simpler then risking oneself pride and status, and this way creates a multitude of problems. Not only is the blame made off of assumptions and past grudges, but oftentimes the accusations are made from a type of deeply felt resentment that boils below. Whether this blame is made based on skin color or reputation, or whether the accusation is made out of a sense of greed and want for more, the scenario is that oftentimes taking the easy way out becomes a much more complicated circumstance.…

    “Abigail, I have fought here three years to bend these stiff-necked people to me, and now, just now when some good respect is rising for me in the parish, you compromise my very character.” (pg. 916) In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, Reverend Parris is a very despicable character because of his acts of being a coward, arrogant, high pride, and being paranoid.

    Witches! The Absolutely True Tale of Disaster in Salem is a National Geographic book that gives an overview of the Salem Witch Trials from its start to its finish. The author, Rosalyn Schanzer, is complete in her telling of the events, starting from the point where no one guessed that the afflicted girls were being tortured by witches and ending with the stories of how each person lived out their lives after the trials ended. The drawback of recording over a year of time within 131 pages is that the information isn’t as in depth as possible, and though everything is touched on there are obvious focuses, such as the reverend, who appears on nearly twenty different pages, as opposed the the symptoms of the girls’ affliction which appeared on…

Through the characters’ thoughts, it is revealed that who they appear to be isn’t always who they turn out to be. The story starts off slightly confusing, as it begins in the mind of Alison Pope. The first few paragraphs suggest that the story is about a young girl pretending to be a princess, until her thoughts change to her dance recital, then to her family, and many other things. It then becomes clear that Alison Pope is a young, teenage girl who has a lot of thoughts running through her head at any moment in the day.…
