Acknowledgement And Disappointment In 'Coty Miracle'
The two emotions I chose were anticipation and disappointment.
I chose them because, anticipation is the excitement about something that's going to happen contrasted with disappointment, which is unhappy about the non fulfillment of one's hopes. It makes the story interesting. A writer who influenced my response was Coty Miracle I really liked Miracles use of similes and descriptors such as ‘the rioting crowd roaring like a lion’ and ‘ I hear the screeching sound’. While we are focusing on different topics, i included these techniques in my writing to provide a sense of excitement.

The title my story is pretty self explanatory i chose “tackling disappointment” because my story is about football, anticipation and disappointment. I chose to

    One of the main emotions was frightened/scared. At the beginning of the book, Amari’s village was attacked. I know this because in the text it says. “Amari knew she should run; she knew she should try to escape into the forest, but her feet would not move. She could only stare in horror…….She watched an Ashanti grab her mother and try to put thick iron cuffs on her wrists……” The reason Amari felt scared was because…

    The words in paragraphs ten through twelve showed a lot of emotion. The overall tone of the passage is very pragmatic and frank. The author used many robust words that really set the tone of those paragraphs. For instance, for an example of pragmatic, paragraph twelve states, “He was outraged by the innkeeper's greed and deception.” The word outraged shows how disgusted and livid he was with the innkeeper’s actions. Another example is in paragraph twelve, “The farmer thanked the lawyer for his cleverness and happily returned home.” The word “happily” reveals that the farmer was very pleased with the conclusion of the case in the courtroom. Animated would be a good tone to describe this sentence. Frank tone in the passage is shown in paragraph…

    I like to control my anger on something I can’t accomplish. Emotions means to me is an experiment. When you fail you feel disappointed, because in the future when you do fail you’ll know what to do. You can always try again and again, like what Rudy did when he got rejected over and over until one day he finally got in to Northern…

    Finding Fish

    • 2920 Words
    • 12 Pages

    The book, finding fish, is a poignant autobiography of the life of Antwone Quenton Fisher, an African American boy who suffered a tumultuous childhood in a foster care setting. He was born on 8-3-1959 in a Cleveland prison to Eva Mae Fisher. She was incarcerated for the shooting death of his father, her boyfriend at the time, Eddie Elkins. Initially, he spent his first few weeks of his life in a Cleveland orphanage. Then he was fostered by a wonderful woman named Mrs. Nellie Strange. She lovingly cared for him for two years. One 10-11-1961 he was placed in the foster home of the Reverend and Mrs. Pickett, an African American couple who came from southern black heritage. Mr. Pickett was a kind man with a doctorate in medicine and his wife, the abuser, was the matriarch of the family. For the next eighteen years of Antwone’s life, he would suffer terrible physical, verbal and emotional abuse in this home, even though he would have a total of thirteen social workers “monitoring” his case. In the Pickett’s home, Antwone had three foster siblings; Flo, Dwight and Keith. Antwone suffers so much chronic abuse that he never feels confident enough to tell any of his social workers about his abuse. He is even sexually abused by Willenda, a babysitter who cares for the children at times. Antwone is finally kicked out of the home around his sixteenth birthday and he finds himself at George Junior Republic, a reform school for boys. Even though he isn’t a trouble maker, he loves being there because he finds teachers who really mentor him. While he lives there, he is able to take tests and graduate early from high school. Unfortunately now he has “graduated’ from the foster care system since he is eighteen and he is forced to become homeless and sell drugs for money. The best thing that ever happens to him is when he enrolls in the United States Navy. While serving an eleven year term, he develops…

    Steven Spielberg uses techniques such as suspense to engage the audience’s feelings. He first shows us how love has for his horse Joey, then how upset he was when he had to let him go. Spielberg engaged the audience because he gave us concrete emotion and we felt how Albert felt when we were unsure if Joey was going to return. When Joey heard the familiar sound of Albert’s whistle and they found their way back to each other, we are given an example of sentiment. The moment Emilie’s grandfather returns Joey to Albert after going through all that trouble to retrieve him, was genuinely moving.…

    Emotions are personal experiences that are hard wired into every single human being on the planet. Yet, somehow people seem to have little control over them. After studying all the different kinds of emotions people can feel, I did a three day inventory of the emotions I experienced. In this paper, I will discuss how hard or easy it is to identify emotions and the methods I used to identify my emotions. I will analyze the types of emotions I felt and whether they were primary or secondary. Were they the typical emotions I experience every day? Do I give in to any emotional fallacies? How freely I express my emotions and what I have learned from doing this exercise.…

    A scene that differs greatly from the book to the movie on hitting our emotions was when the girls are taken away from their families. In the movie, this scene is extremely dramatic. We get a film-shot back and forth of the girls leaving with their expressive faces, as well as the mothers crying and moaning, falling on the floor out of desperation and exasperation. Visually we see the girls being taken away, slowly getting increasingly further away. This makes it extremely emotional and expressive for the viewer. In the book, the expressions of the little girls are described as “…tears streaming down their cheeks” (44) and “The two frightened and miserable girls began to cry, silently at first, then uncontrollably…” (45). Although when reading this we get a reasonably clear image in our…
