    If I would to be a Hollywood producer and if I remade this for a 21st century speaker, I would use a celebrity person named Miranda Crosgrow cast as a speaker, and I would set the scene in San Diego, California. The reason why I would put it in San Diego, California, is because it is very nice there and there is a lot of people to be found there that can be useful for a lot of things. There are Celebrities there as well. It is just a good city overall since it’s in California anyways, where there is good weather, a good scenery is always good. The “Seven Ages of Man,” by William Shakespeare’s play I think that Miranda Crosgrow would be good as the speaker and I could compare her to this act of William Shakespeare’s scene.

    Jerry Maddox's Argumentative Essay

    If someone attempted to rape you, fail to succeed, and then beat you, what would you do? Go to the police and risk nothing coming of an investigation? Pretend it never happened and sweep it under the rug, just to manifest in your later years as perhaps a mental illness or PTSD? I believe that Bean going to a lawyer and pressing charges was the best way to handle this problem. Why? Well, because Jerry Maddox needs to pay, the town needs to know, and Liz needs justice.…

    Dillard And O Brien's Argumentative Essay

    Intimacy plays a key role in both Dillard and O’Brien’s works; it sucks the readers into story and locks their attention. In both works, building intimacy is primarily achieved through the use of personal anecdotes. Written in first person point of view, the anecdotes make us feel as if the author is next to us, trying to share the experience and feelings of an important moment in their life. Both TTTC and PATC are utterly books of anecdotes, and this extensive use of anecdotes keeps the readers involved. From TTTC, chapter “On the Rainy River”, O’Brien writes, “This is one story I’ve never told before. Not to anyone. Not to my parents, not to my brother or sister, not even to my wife.” The act of confession, and stating how he hasn’t told anyone rapidly elevates the status of the readers; from a mere “reader” to someone even closer to O’Brien than his own family.…
