Dear Derrick, To start off I really loved this essay! From the beginning to the end you gave me life. Confidence looks really good on you. I like how you have so much logic for being homosexual and that’s very good because half of these kids walking around this campus can’t give two sentences of why there “gay”, I honestly think most just do it for attention and because there confused, but who am I to judge? You related your essay to a book and I thought that was a very safe move because the outcome of it was amazing might I say.
Samuel Irving Bellman is one among many of the critics who have mixed emotions about the story. After first reading the novel in 1943, Bellman found it to be flat, unappealing, and unimaginative. He felt the characters were lifeless and hard to imagine as players in a human drama. A major drawback of his is Wharton’s love-hate triangle between Ethan, Zeena, and Mattie. From a positive perspective, “Ethan Frome is important to Wharton’s canon because it represents her confident coming of age as an artist…It has gained its place as a masterpiece of American literature for its style: it is brilliant in its economy, clarity, and structure (Bellman).” Here, he is explaining that Ethan Frome deserves to be a classic for its style, although he is not personally fond of the book.
I do happen to have bipolar disorder although I am type B so it is much easier for me to keep my disorder under control. In a way it was nice reading about how much worse I could be. Lucy has amazing patience when it comes to dealing with some of the messes that Mickey gets himself into and part of this stems from her having a very supportive family. Lucy has two sisters in the book and was raised in a loving community where many of her neighbors
Through this movie you get to experience a variety of stories that are tied together with a centralized theme. I enjoyed the fact that the romance of the 50’s is still very true to romance of today although we have fallen far from the class and well-spoken poise that is Grace Kelly. The story then is still the same story now; the girl always wants the boy who doesn’t want her. In this case, the well-established socialite model wants the dirty photographer. It is the classic tale of “you want what you can’t have”.
These were the little statements such as “Sorry weirdos-I love you, but she has a point.” or, “Sadly, I couldn’t get anyone to connect with me-for some reason, nobody wanted me to track their every movement?” These are small humorous additions to the story that without them the story is still great but with them it keeps the reader wanting to read more and even though small, they are a large help to Honan’s story and he does a nice job of adding them in places they fit and not just throwing them in randomly throughout his writing. In conclusion, Mathew Honan does a lot of things right when righting this story, He makes a few mistakes like including too much of his personal life and telling the world that his wife will be home alone for a week, but what he does right including making himself relevant in the beginning of the story, using his personal experiences Hale 4 effectively and making the reader want to read more, and I definitely believe that the things Honan does right in the story without a doubt trump the things he did not do right. No one can write a perfect story, there will always be small changes that could take place, but Mathew Honan did a wonderful job with his essay “I Am Here”. It was not only informational; it told a story and was even funny and quirky at times. He certainly wrote a story that kept the reader reading and I would say that is what is most
The fact that the Diallos are capable parents enhances their relationship with their daughter. In addition, Aminata’s father, Muhammed encourages her to be an independent individual. While Aminata is on a walk with her father, Muhammed says, “Since you are so clever, pretend I am blind and show me the way home.” (25) Muhammed is an ideal father because he has a very positive and an encouraging attitude. He encourages his daughter to cultivate her mind and become
Timothy Taylor, a bestselling, award-winning novelist and journalist, adapts good characters and a good storyline but not adequate structure. His character switching happened excessively and focused too much on one character but not the others. The overuse on details in some sections was a major turn-off, while others did not have enough details to satisfy an average reader. His style of writing was also very odd for a writer. Throughout his novel, Taylor could not seem to find the in between place for anything.
Prompt 2 (Ms. Samuels prompt) Right now I am reaching out to you Ms. Samuels I am going to miss you dearly. This year I have loved almost everything you have done this year, I feel I have gotten a lot smarter from your teaching habits. I will tell you there was one thing I did not enjoy fully, and that was the novel Johnny Tremain. I’m not saying I hated the book I am just saying at parts it was a little boring. Plus I say the book was very long, not that it was like a million pages, but I think it didn’t have that much action to speed it up, overall I would say to swap out Johnny Tremain with an amazing book called The Cay by Theodore Taylor.
On the other hand even though this novel has a wonderful story plot and is a very great book, it is not completely historically accurate. Research shows that a number of things in this book are untrue. Even though it is not entirely correct I do not fault the author. I believe she did this on purpose and just twerked the actual history a bit to make her story a little more interesting to for her readers. Before I go on a rampage about what is incorrect in the novel I first want to give you a good image of the story’s plot.
The generosity of the pioneer generation shows that the rich of the pioneer generation were not greedy; their goal was not just to make a profit but also to do what was fair and honest. His relationship with Mrs. Forrester is very complicated because the captain does know that his wife is cheating on him but he expected this too happen because she is a very beautiful woman with many needs. Niel even thinks that Mr. Forrester knows Mrs. Forrester better than herself. “The longer Niel was with Captain Forrester in those peaceful closing days of his life, the more he felt that the Captain knew his wife better even than she knew herself; and that, knowing her, he, to use one of his own expressions valued her” (72) Mr. Forrester knows what Mrs. Forrester needs and was always able to do it until he had his fall in the mountains. This fall encumbered him only to sit around and do almost nothing so they did not visit Colorado Springs anymore.
