Trentmann explains that the theoretical debate revolving around consumption has been going on for many decades, but in the last two, a change, or a variation in lens, has occurred (373).

also despise literature of Christianity. Through his surprise, he again shows subtle disappointment, as Albar believes Christians should stay with their culture. When Albar continues to say Christians have forgotten their language, he uses ellipses. These ellipses express Albar’s “moment of silence” for Christian culture, as he is seeing it crumble.

Kepler’s second law stated “The line joining the planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times as the planet travels around the ellipse.” This explained why the planets would appear to move faster at times. Kepler’s final law stated, “The ratio of the squares of the revolutionary periods for two planets is equal to the ratio of the cubes of their semi major axes.” This law explained…
shift between exteriority and interiority. Another formatting feature used within the extract is the unique use of ellipses between every sentence “what a vagrant thought…Kroeger…Kroeger”. Similarly, to how the short sentences cut through Alex’s thoughts, the ellipses work through increasing tension through long pauses and spaced out thoughts. In addition, both short sentences and ellipses create frequent breaks between thoughts and a…

Meaning that the sun is the center making the planets move around it trough an orbit. The second law that was created was called the law of equal areas. This law describes the speed of any planet the…

The the reader, the narrators pause indicates a silent moment of…

Both “The Lottery”, and “One Friday Morning” are great and developed stories. “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson shows suspense, and a great use of imagery. But overall, “One Friday Morning” by Langston Hughes is the best choice and should be chosen for the 1940’s unit because of the character development, and the breathtaking symbolism. The first reason why “One Friday Morning” should be a part of the 1940’s unit is because of the character development in Nancy Lee. Langston Hughes gives depth…
