The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, written in 1845, is a very powerful and inspiring autobiography that, shows the brutality given to slaves, and the value of knowledge. Frederick Douglass believed in education and the power it possess, and I too now understand the true virtue of education. Nowadays many people take school for granted, and do not realise the importance knowledge has and the influence it has on a human’s life. The dropout rates have drastically increased, and the…

recipe, but since she tries it and likes it, she goes with it. Sea urchin: A small sea animal that lives on the ocean and that has a shell with spines. Some people eat what is in the inside of the mouth. The quote relates to my answer by backing up that Hassan used this quote to continue experimenting. He knew that every animal he used for cooking had its own taste, every ingredient gave it a different flavor. Just like the Sea urchin that had a shell and spines, in the food industry he…

Common Bottlenose Dolphin: Anatomy: Common Bottlenose Dolphins are marine animals that live their whole life in the water. Their blowhole is on top of their head. Their ears are close to their eyes. They have 2 fins; a set of fins called Pectoral Fins that helps them swim. The other one is a single fin on top of their head further away from the blowhole called the Dorsal Fin that helps them keep stable against the water currents. They have a small patch of skin on their stomach that is…

The strange thing about growing up in northern California is the unseen but ever present division in the culture. On one side there is the staunch conservative blue collar, countered by a large population of liberal free spirits. During my sophomore year at Eureka Senior High I had realized, and given into my passion for pottery. I excelled at the art. Opportunities to begin selling pieces arose early in the process, then increased over a short period of time. Undenounced to me this caught…

metaphors are reserved to highlight the main idea of the essay. When he talks about poor children had taught him in exchange for bread, he claims an clearly connection into the mind of the readers: "This bread I used to bestow upon the hungry little urchins, who, in return, would give me that more valuable bread of knowledge" (Douglass 26). He also reflected on the owner's wife (refers as "lover") says that "mistress, in teaching me the alphabet, had given me the inch, and no precaution could…

Ichabod is the moron who gets killed by his worst fear. Ichabod is power hungry and abuses the little power he has by whipping his students, knowing they can’t do anything about it. “The appalling sound of the birch as he urged some wrongheaded Dutch urchin along the flowery path of knowledge.” (Irving 6). Ichabod knows the students must honor him no matter what he does, hence why they are the only people he can push around. Ichabod’s inability to stand up for himself ends up getting him killed…

MOSH also has many other cool exhibits to see. One of the neat ones is the Florida Naturalist Center. It was many tanks with reptiles such as turtles, tortoises, and terrapins. There is also I touch tank with a red mangrove, sergeant majors, and sea urchins. I am very glad I participated in the recent trip to MOSH and will definitely recommend MOSH to…

There are many different organisms and mammals that inhabit the oceans of our world and each one is unique and special to their environments. Each organism has a vital role to play and each is important in keeping our oceans balanced. Two of my favorite animals that I’d like to explore further is the sea otters and the manatees, both amazing marine mammals. Both animals are now considered endangered and many have taken acts towards conservation for them to perhaps strive once again in the future…

sidewalks. Living in New York City’s worst slum called “The Five Points” George learned the tricks of the trade which allowed him to make a living off of street crime. Appo started running with a group of thugs that people referred to as “street urchins”, with this group George learned how to master the art of pickpocketing. Criminal activities become the main source of income for George, which led him to serving a decade of his life in prison. George was not the only individual in New York’s…

Watch Your Tone “It’s not what you say; it’s how you say it that matters." The tone is one of the most significant factors of communication. The tone of voice someone uses tells you everything you need to know about how they’re feeling, without even asking. However, in literature, much more attention is required to notice tone, but I will be examining Fredrick Douglass’ “Learning to Read and Write, and Gloria Anzaldua’s “How to Tame a Wild Tongue.” Although these authors overcame similar…
