Lesson 3 Actions, the author, illustrates the importance of being able to identify the character in the subject and their actions in the verbs, without the overuse of nominalizations. We express judgments of writing by utilizing words such as clear, direct, concise, or focused praise writing, or words like unclear, indirect or complex that often abuse writing. Telling Stories about Characters and their Actions Use the subjects of verbs to convey the main characters when telling…

look like that her characters involved in. Describing her stories very clearly helps you to make a mental picture while reading, and makes it feel as if you are right along side of the characters. Being very descriptive as an author she has made it clear what the characters look like and what the scenery is in this story as it goes on. Using the biographical strategy is helps to know a little about O’Connor to understand why she wrote the way she did and what she wrote about. Knowing that most…

how much I have taken for granted all that the Lord has blessed us with. Unfortunately, not all people groups are blessed in such a way, and this fact had been made clear to me when I looked into what Cubans need to live through, and do for their families in order to survive. Based off the few articles that I had looked into, it was clear that there are different types of people living in Cuban; people who feel hopeless to the point that they would build their own raft to float across the ocean,…

reinforcement such as clear directions, immediate presentation of food, positive attention, and planned ignorance together with some use of “gentle physical prompts (i.e. tap on his cheek) without any verbal statement to increase eating pace” (p.3). The strategies to improve compliance in mealtime and other daily activities included clear directions, immediate and specific praise (upon compliance), planned ignorance (of minor refusal behaviors), minimal physical guidance, clear, specific…

The Monkey’s Paw After reading the story The Monkey’s Paw it is clear that there are many different themes that the reader can pull from it. Not every reader might see the same themes and the themes they see might come from a different aspect of the story. For me I saw themes appear within the characters. But how do these themes in the story show in the main characters? The first theme that jumped out at me was mystery. The author describes how the night was cold and wet. When we read about…

television, as in the videos from this week—Grey’s Anatomy and Seinfeld. In each video, without any sound, I was still able to understand what was happening; and more importantly, the mood of each scene. For example, in the Grey’s Anatomy clip, it is clear from the outset that something had gone wrong. The hurried convergence on the scene, the looks of dismay on each person’s face, and even the nurses hand over her heart—a sign of sympathy—reveal that something sad had happened. Also, the…

thing is happening to him” How sympathetic are you with her view of Willy’s plight? Throughout the play we see many of Willy’s qualities; some good, some bad. We’re introduced to Willy in a negative way, within the first few pages it becomes clear that Willy is very short tempered; for example, when he says “I don't want a change, I want swiss cheese. Why am I always being contradicted?!” This demonstrates Willy’s short temper, but could also be representing that Willy feels he has a…

a necessary condition for rape (or the most serious kinds of sexual assault) and, with the exception of cases where certain special circumstances are present (e.g., if the victim is mentally incompetent, unconscious, or underage). [1] There are no clear statutory provisions for serious criminal charges when forcible compulsion is absent. As long as the victim is a conscious, mentally capable adult, the courts usually read the language of the law to mean that rape occurs when and only when the…

Kurt Vonnegut Jr. wrote a futuristic story, ¨Harrison Bergeron¨, the characters are all ¨Equal every which way.¨ The year was 2081 and everybody in the Utopia claimed to be equal with one another. If you were above average in intelligence you were forced by the handicapped general to wear an earpiece to stop your train of thought, if you were athletic they would put weights on you so you can’t perform your best. In the text Harrison is viewed as a superior person that is so called better than…

The essay “At the Heart of Darkness: Crimes against Humanity and the Banality of Evil” by Birgit Maier-Katkin and Daniel Maier-Katkin adds to the debate on human rights and crimes against humanity. The essay shows the similarity between Conrad and Marlow, while suggesting the reason is because of the behaviour of the agents of European imperialism Conrad experienced. The major primitive evil the authors of this essay states is the uncivilized rituals of lust and self-aggrandizement. One good…
