Secret passage

" Annette finally looked at him and said, "Only the best, I just hate I have to leave my pants and outting clothes behind." Leonard rubbed the back of his head looking around thinking, "Where is your room, will we be spotted if we go that way?" Annette looked at him walking over to a wall moving a brick as a secret passage opened dimly lighting the room with the candles hanging on the wall. Leonard walked over to the hidden passage, Annette walked inside as Leonard followed, Annette grabbed a lantern as the large door silently closed. The two of them walked and Leonard said, "Where does this lead to, a vault of diamonds or gold and silver?" Annette smiled looking at him, "They are mine, I can 't leave without some cash, I am only taking my prettiest of diamonds and probably some of my gold." Leonard sighed shaking his head, "Women, I 'll never understand you." Annette stated, " Men, I don 't see why you hate diamonds." Leonard stopped as Annette looked at him stopping also, "What 's wrong? The blond asked once more. "The door to the vault, it covers the wall." Annette looked around and said, "We are actually inside the vault what you 're looking at is my secret things, known only to my mother and me. Leonard watched as she flipped a switch as a light surrounded them, once the light came on diamonds covered the walls of the large space in front of them. Annette hung the lantern on the wall walking to the area she said, "Come on, the good stuff is in here." Leonard…

was an enjoyable, quick read, and something that I was able to take a lot from because the passages contained practical writings of wisdom for the modern day person. Because the passages varied topics, the following paper will be written with the same notion. The first stanza of passage 2, to me, explained that each persons’ view point is different (“…people see some things a beautiful, other things become ugly…”); however, each view point creates, supports, defines, depends, and follows each…

The passage, “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings,” by Maya Angelou, has shown that passion can influence people's lives greatly. In the story it states, “she began the first of what we later called ‘my lessons in living’ … ‘Take this book of poems and memorize one for me. Next time you pay me a visit, I want you to recite it’ … I didn’t question why Mrs.Flowers had singled me out for attention” (Angelou 58-59). From those multiple statements it shows that Marguerite had some sort of liking for Mrs.…

First she needs to work ono sounding out unfamiliar words. Based on the inventory, she tends to either skip the word all together or take the first two letters of a word and say the first word that comes to mind with the same beginning letters; whether it makes sense or not. Since she has trouble sounding out words, this interrupts her fluency, which in-effect leads to lower comprehension percentages. This is basically a cycle that will continue over and over until she receives some assistance…

swamp and in their description of the swamp. In the two written passages, there are two detailed descriptions of Okefenokee Swamp. Both seem to be factual; however, one author is informing the audience with facts about the Swamp, while the other is entertaining them by using figurative language to describe the swamp. In the first passage, the style of the author's writing is factual, without giving away any emotions, but being neutral. This is overt in the passage when it states, "low, sandy…
