He put down his razor, and all of a sudden jerked his arms up and sort of broke my hold on him.” (pg 39) Holden is really a hypocrite also from the research paper, “This establishes Holden’s own sense of hypocrisy: although he condemns the behavior of the class to which he belongs, he shares their behaviors and even accepts this value system as reasonable.” (pg

Her use of imagery paints a picture for the readers which ultimately helps to make learning the writing process easier. For example, when she says “the critics would be sitting on my shoulders, commenting like cartoon characters”, this creates a humorous and memorable image of shoulder sized critics (Lamott 469). This step in the process is unusual from what other authors say, yet it’s interesting which engages the reader. Lamott also uses similes and metaphors throughout the essay to explain what it is like for most struggling writers. She states “we all often feel like we are pulling teeth” when it comes to constructing and composing a piece of work (Lamott 468).

Although Quinones-Mayo and Dempsey do not include a concrete evidence of what the American Dream is, they showed the harsh realities of America being poverty, drug problems, uncleanliness, and unsafe dynamics the adolescents and Latino immigrant mothers must face, rather than the “milk and honey” that is promised (2,10). This American reality denotes that there is a connection between the adolescents change in behavior to that of the environment surrounding them (5). The American reality may be the influential factor of the adolescents not wanting to take on the part in the social success of the family (10). The responsibility of growing up too fast also serves as the connection between the lack of involvement to achieving their Latino immigrant mother’s goal of the success and improvement of the adolescent’s future. As Quinones-Mayo and Dempsey continue to maintain Latinos tend to be raised from a young age the becoming of an adult (11).

He borrowed stories from his childhood and included them in his writings. Twain once quoted, “A mans character may be learned from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation” (“Mark Twain Quotes”).

Twain uses his own story and tales of his youth as a way to captivate young and old readers, alike. Mark Twain’s life as a young boy influenced his books.

According to Labor Department statistics, “People of color are nearly twice as likely to be out of work as Caucasian Americans, even when they have the same degree” (Rassuli 1). Despite the number of immigrants coming to America in search of freedom and new opportunities, citizens see them as “outsiders” and “unwelcomed” (2). These immigrants come to America for a better life, chasing the “American Dream,” only to be “struck down” by American society (2).

Mbue’s characterization that highlights the contrast between Jende and Neni creates a sense of irony that reflects her theme of how the American Dream is not possible due to the obstacles that separate immigrants from American culture.

These themes are critical to the civic and moral discussion when choosing how far the government’s should reach, and 1984 excellently phrases the dilemma into an understandable scenario. While introducing these themes to elementary school students is understable, high schoolers approaching adulthood need to have insight into this discussion. Isolating students from the problem does not solve the problem that they are eventually going to encounter later

Mr. Tobias figured out early on in his writing career that the best way to engage or speak directly to a reader is to write his works on things he has experienced. In conjunction, in most of his stories, he develops characters that in some way emulate him as he tells the story. James C Dolan, a Best Sellers reviewer, advises readers to "relax and enter into the sometimes comic, always compassionate world of ordinary people who suffer twentieth-century martyrdoms of growing up, growing old, loving and lacking love, living with parents and lovers and wives and their own weaknesses" (Ansell2) in regards to some of Wolff’s works and characters. This indicates that Mr. Wolff’s stories are being interpreted the way he envisioned due to his use of characters throughout some of his writings and publications. Any investigator can learn a great deal from the life and times of Tobias Wolff.

Meng, a student from Southeast Asia realized that Malcolm had a “homemade education” (X and Haley 182), but was trying to understand how to take from the inspiration without being overwhelmed.

He also knows that in the reading the context of Malcolm’s words, the rhetoric of his street life can take the reader from the “outside to the inside” (X and Haley 53) and leave the student in a state of belief permanency. He uses the example
