They totally ignored him. Out of all the villagers, only one poor woman offered the stranger a drink. The kind woman was the one whose …show more content…
A photo of a rainbow after the rains The Villagers assembled in groups and talked in low hushed tones, murmuring of what had happened the previous night and asked God what catastrophe had befallen them. The men started pulling the rubbles and started to rebuild their huts as women looked for firewood and lit fire and looked for something to cook.

Starting with the first poem, TKAM can relate to this because it is similar to how Jem and Scout would walk to home from school. The first section states how the writer can remember calling their mother from the hall in the basement. This gives me an image of Scout or Jem calling Atticus. Sections two through 4 basically just gives an imagery of Scout, Jem, and occasionally Dill walking to their house. The final section stands out though because in the book, Scout does explain how her and Jem did walk home from school during winter.

Quickwrite #1- AQWF In this part of the book, Paul and his friends are out on the front re-wiring the front line with new barbed and communication wires when they hear the shrill cries of injured and badly wounded horses. Additionally, during the bombing, one of their soldiers becomes badly wounded in his leg and will most likely die or never be able to walk again. There is a similarity between this young soldier and the injured horses, made apparent by the comparison the author makes between the two. The young soldier, while human, is helpless after getting injured and will likely die if he is not helped soon.

My novel choice is “The brave New world” by Aldous Huxley, I chose this novel because my teacher recommended me to try it. The title of the book “ brave new world” kind of catches my attention, first of all because the title have a very specific meaning I guess related to the story. I did actually notice some hint about the story, the cover page look very creepy and and have identical babies in tubes. From that, I’m hoping that is it what I’m thinking of which is: a bloody, human trafficking novel.
Ariana Dalmau Mrs. Stevenson Pre AP English II July 13, 2015 1984 Part One, Chapter One Summary An occurrence at work that morning pushes Winston to start writing an illegal diary. “He tried to squeeze out some childhood memory that should tell him whether London had always been quite like this. Were there always these vistas of rotting nineteenth-century houses, their sides shored up with balks of timber, their windows patched with cardboard and their roofs with corrugated iron, their crazy garden walls sagging in all directions?” (Orwell 3)
Thank You, Old Friend—page 1 All these years, and I’m still thinking about the life you’ve had. I admit, back in the high school days, I didn’t understand your life. I listened well, but I was too naïve. I’ve always blamed it on my age, but deep down, I knew it was because of my ego. I was carefree at that stage of life; the only stress I had to worry about was image.

The animal, painted with red color that highly contrasting with its skin, only gave another distressed sound and bucked, making the trinkets on him jingle. The men, trying to calm the beast, all took a step back before the shouting began anew, none of them paying any attention to the silhouette high above them. Malik was paying close attention to the group of the celebrating, watching their efforts to get the animal to the streets for quite some time.
John Steinbeck believes in the book “of mice and men” that, we as humans cannot comprehend when we don’t feel a sense of lost somewhere in the world, because having this loss gives us an emotional feeling that releases anger and rage on yourself and others. In the introduction “Of Mice and Men” this theme is used a lot when they come running out of Weed.
