3. What sections of the book are most persuasive and powerful?
I feel like the middle and end are most powerful. Each character was trying to tell their story, in hopes of gaining a patient ear. For example, even though it was hard for grandma and grandpa to come out and express their feelings, they still did it in the form of letters. It really showed how the characters were evolving and beginning to see things with more understanding, especially Oskar. He forgave his mother after learning the truth that she has always been supporting him. Grandma decided to give grandpa another chance because she wanted to see the hope and good in life again.
4. Which sections of the book are less persuasive or ineffective?
I felt like beginning was slow and it was hard to grasp with how the story was formatted. The chapters switched between the three narrators: Oskar, grandma, and grandpa. Since the grandparents’ told everything in letters, all of what they said happened in the past, thus making it hard for the story to progress quickly.

What are some other strengths and weaknesses of the text?
The author expresses a lot of the speech between characters as quotations one after another without saying who said it so at times, it was difficult to follow who said what. You really had to focus on who’s in the conversation and where the conversation is taking place.

It has some great scenes when Maggie Maddock just lets go and embraces her powers that she had been suppressing for ages. All of the novels of the series also end with an excellent unexpected twist that most of the time the reader has probably forgotten by the time it is resolved in an explosive way.

Now, the framework I decided to use for this article through analyzing is Lloyd Bitzer’s Rhetorical Situation. In his rhetorical situation, he explains how every situation can be analyzed rhetorically by looking at the interactions between speakers, subjects, audience and purpose. A rhetoric piece of work comes into existence for the sake of something far greater than the piece itself. In each rhetoric situation, he explains how there’s three main variables that come into play. First, you gave the exigence, which is the “reason.”

Of the films viewed in the second half, the one that impacted me the most is Eve’s Bayou it is a 1997 American drama film written and directed by a female named Kasi Lemmons. The story is told through the eyes of an older; Eve Batiste (Jurnee Smollett) as she reflects on her life, the film then starts off with a ten-year-old girl Eve who lives in a prosperous African American community in Louisiana.

Jackson) seems to be having a lot of more fun dancing with Matty Mereaux (Lisa Nicole Carson).
It was well constructed and the plot flowed perfectly. I loved how this book really connected to the reader emotionally, it was at the point where I was about to tear up. It was so sad how cruel people can be, and how they can just see children starving. One literary tool I really saw the author use was imagery. She does a great job describing pain, for example, “ Me, I eat the tamarind fruit.
1. In ‘Harrison Bergeron’, certain people are ‘handicapped’, they have to carry around heavy weights and have loud noises blasted into their ears. Why do you think the government does this? The reason as to why to government does this is because they want to provide equality amongst the people in which the handicapped people should also be treated equal as even though they are different from other people that are normal—they are still considered to be humans and that’s why they should be treated equal.
The author should have put in a little bit more of a “spice” to keep the readers on their toes, but all in all the passage was very
The final challenge is to find three passages that best illustrate the author’s self-representation and how they contribute to, or detract from, the argument he makes in the essay. The first example is in paragraph four, where he explains the way he dislikes his self image “of knowledgeable, humorous detachment and bland tolerance.” The way this contributes to his writing is that it shows he is aware of this major problem in his own classroom. It shows that he has an awareness of his faults and a longing to change them; not only in himself, but in the system as a whole.

I am not a big fan of history and she made me want to know more about it in this book. She made it educational, while also making it very adventurous and romantic. I would still like to know though how the teacher knew that Ellie would help save Will. He barely knew her, but some how he knew that she would help him, and that confused me. Other then that i think she did a pretty good job with keeping you interested in the book.
The novel doesn’t have a classic ending, development, or a culmination like the rest of the novels do. It divides into different parts, which show different steps of the main character’s life. The novel really introduces the ideas of modernism and existentialism. It really introduced me to the world of surrealism, including art, literature, and cinema. I became more interested in Salvador Dali’s works, watched movies by David Lynch, and started reading Albert
