In “The amazing penguin rescue”, dozen of people capture the little penguins to protect them but the people are just trying to get the poisonous oil off of the penguins and the setting creates a mood of heartbroken. An example is, “All across the beach,dozens of people are capturing penguins, enduring excruciating bites and wing slaps as they load terrified birds into crates. It is painful,exhausting work, and the sight of all of these scared and injured penguins is heartbreaking to the humans”(Tarshis 16). This confirms my mood of heartbroken,because while the penguins are covered with oil they still can be saved by the humans. The humans risk getting hurt just to save the penguins from getting sick and dieing. In contrast, in “The seabird chronicle” the people make little sweat shirts for the little penguins to keep oil off of them when they dive into the oily water and to keep them warm this setting creates a mood of love. An example is, “The sweatshirts did the trick, warming the penguins and keeping them from preening. This bought workers time to carefully clean the oil from each bird. Over time the birds grew strong and healthy. Eventually, the penguins were well enough to return to the wild”(Lewis 19). This confirms my mood of love because people took the time to work with these animals and save them from this oil pollution that was killing them and to get a experience to be will wild animals. In summary, these two stories have settings that create two distinct

    Comparison and Contrast Essay The stories “Cranes” and “The Sniper” show us the effects of war. The themes of “Cranes” and “The Sniper” are similar due to the war tearing people apart, however, they are different because in “Cranes” the compassion prevails, while in “The Sniper” survival wins over compassion.

We see this in “Cranes” when Songsam lets Tokchae escape into the woods.…

    In Luis Alberto Urrea’s novel, “The Devil’s highway,” he uses a passage that describes the migrants’ digression towards death as they travel across the Yuma desert to create an uncomfortable, and sympathetic feeling from the audience. Throughout the book, Urrea uses imagery to describe the harsh conditions of the desert, and the high risk that comes along with attempting to cross it. The passage goes into detail about the unavoidable stages of hyperthermia and how each of these effects the body. Urrea intends to create more emotions within the reader and to help them fully connect with the tone throughout the book. Through imagery he not only describes to the reader what these people may have gone through while making their passage across the…

    In the poem, “Who is Ebenezer Scrooge?” By Simone Brooklyn, she is trying to convey the concept that our own selves tend to assume what other people are like without genuinely knowing who they really are by asking the public in respect to the main character, is he really who people assume him to be? Thinking about him in a positive way, however, asking, again, the audience if everything we believed about him was true. There’s only a couple of similarities between these two pieces of literature.…

    The Power of Pathos In the words of Vincent Van Goh, “Let’s not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it” (Guillemets). Emotions guide people through life like a compass in a similar fashion to how a compass guides a sailor on his voyage. This emotional compass leads us in the path of an ultimately unknown yet assumed destination in life and we follow it blindly every day. In the good times and the bad, emotional experiences and relationships tend to be more memorable and important to people than those with less emotional connections.…

I never walked around town for the fun of it or went on cool adventures where I lived like Jem and Scout.
