However, as Donald Graves has discussed the writer’s notebook as not a diary. So, keeping this in in mind and reading more about the writing workshop in Ray’s The Writing Workshop textbook has really me realize that in order for my students…
the plot. The narrator of The Notebook in the beginning and in the ending of the chapters is Noah. But the author did not inform the readers until the end of the story that it was Noah telling the story. This perspective allows the reader to think of only the two main characters Allie and Noah. This technique is important because it allows the storyline to flow from past to present and back again multiple times. The narrator techniques work well because The Notebook is not just a love story; the…

Gaines in 1993, an uneducated young man Jefferson witnesses and survives a shooting incident between two African American burglars and a white shop owner. Shortly after, Jefferson is prosecuted for murder, and his claim of innocence is ruthlessly ignored.

by outside sources; whether it is a person or an object, these are used as extensions of our mind. The example of the notebook versus the memory clears any confusion that there may be. In this example, they have a woman, Igna, who has a good memory and is able to retain information and come retrieve it almost instantly when needed. They also have a man, Otto, who relies on a notebook to store his information because his brain is not able to. Their argument for these two characters is that they…
be where we are today. He helped in a multitude of ways. Da Vinci recorded all of his results and research from his experiments. Unfortunately, though, his research was found centuries after his death. He recorded his research and took notes in notebooks called codices. Each codex had his notes compiled on separate subjects. Every one of the subjects he took notes on contributed to society in some way. He uncovered many medical anomalies centuries ago that we have only uncovered, ourselves,…
gutters throughout the page; each panel pops out and is differentiable. The object that draws the most attention on the page is the diagram of the bunker that Vladek used, to hide from the Germans in WWII. The diagram is displayed within Artie’s notebook, the notebook isn’t drawn within a panel on the page and it merges into other panels as well, signifying its…
long time and has an HP Pavilion DV5 notebook. One day she could not open any of her applications on her Windows 7 running notebook and it flashed the above-mentioned error code with a message that the application was unable to run correctly.

But other than that the notebook is unable to do anything. 2.…
Andy Clark and David Chalmers presented “The Extended Mind” argument as a potential new option for the question of where does the mind stop and the world begin. This question nearly reflects the confusion that many individuals face of what is reality and what is merely perception. Given that this question could be more individual based leads to more questions rather than a closer solution. A common response to our question is if it is outside of the body, then it must be outside of the mind.…
I was just sitting there on the blacktop with a notebook and pen in my hands. There were students in front of me, observing the world around them. I noticed the students on the upper field, the birds chirping and the ants eating a piece of fruit a few feet away, recording it all in my yellow notebook. When the period started, Mr. Prendergast asked us to grab our notebooks and head outside. We had walked down the old, and worn hallway, to the cracked and dust covered blacktop. It was the last…
