Lea Vilna-Santos Mrs. English, 7th September 1st, 2015 The Giver, by: Lois Lowry Entry Log 9: Chapters 17-18: Question 5: I chapters 17-18, The Giver goes back to the memory of the failure-Rosemary, and Jonas finally finds out what happened to her. Rosemary was like Jonas because she was curious and eager to receive more memories. The Giver gave her only good memories in the beginning, which I think was a bad idea because, then, all there is left are bad memories. He loved her and didn’t want to hurt her, but they both knew it was her job to receive all the memories- even the negative ones.

Theme 1.1: Envy. In Knowles’s coming of age book, “A Separate Peace”, there are lots of mishaps that happen and the beginning of these mishaps is when one of his main characters, Gene, starts thinking malicious things about Phineas, his friend. It started out as a small inkling of envy, suddenly later on in the book, it turned into something that resembled a fractious disaster. As the chapters progress, Gene shows the readers his way of thinking towards Phineas, by describing his “unexpected excitement” (27) when Phineas was about to receive a scolding from Mr. Patch-Wither, the substitute headmaster of Devon during the summer session. Surprisingly, when Phineas (aka Finny) further explained why he wore the school tie as a belt,

Threats poured out of their open mouths while they glared at the house where Remington, Sebastian and Emerson currently resided. “They’re still there,” Sebastian muttered. All he wanted was a normal and peaceful life, or at least as much of a normal life as he could get while touring around the world but his life had crashed down around him.
Michael walked up to the door and knocked tree times. He nervously pulled down his arm sleeve. Charlie answered the door in his pajamas. “I was wondering, you know under the circumstances, if I could crash at you place” Michael asked shifting from one foot to the other.

I wanted excitement and danger and the change to sacrifice myself for myself a superabundance of energy which found no outlet in our life.

The very first page of this book we are presented with a letter from Alex, who is obviously leaving home. The letter I believed was a really cool way to give us the background of the story we needed to know on a personal level. This was our first look at Alex.

Maria W. Stewart Analysis In this excerpt of a lecture given by Maria W. Stewart in the year 1832, she has a strong point: Although the African Americans in the northern colonies were free, they were not treated equal as the white people were. Stewart uses a variety of rhetorical strategies to bring her point in the situation, such as argument, compare and contrast, and appeal to ethos. Along with the persistent and serious tone, it is clear that she sees the unfair treatment of African Americans a major problem.

Finally, the boy looked onto his own hand and noticed that the pain was coming from a Number 2 Ticonderoga pencil driven deep in his palm, the same one he was doodling with. It was at that moment that he realized he impaled himself as he maneuvered the tightly packed desks with the tip of the pencil facing toward his palm.

This made things only worse as the snap was not clean, wood chippings laced with blood flew onto Serra’s desk followed by both the boy and Serra’s ear-piercing screams. The teacher hastily rushed the boy to the first aid office at the school.
