Analysis Of Sarah Powell's Story 'Nothing But Blue Skies'
This response letter is for Sarah Powell’s story “Nothing but Blue Skies”. The story is about a group of lab mice trying to escape the lab to reach to the green field and observe the sun, but encounter many obstacles in their journey. The story main themes are of hope and dreams, how sometimes following your dreams is not an easy journey because it is full of dangers and difficult tests. The story reminded me like an old Disney movie with some darker thing on it, and I not complaining. The story gives the vive as most kids movies of following your dreams, until you get to the part with the rats and their orgy. As someone who enjoys dark stories and dark twist I approve. It was a pleasant surprise the change of tone, I was expecting to be

    In the book Blue like Jazz there is a couple of conversion stories I would like to talk about. The first one comes from Chapter 4. It is the conversion of Millers friend Penny.

    Analysis Of Lorraine Hansburry's A Raisin In The Sun

    Everybody had dreams and aspirations, however those things never always go as planned. This happens to the characters in the play, A Raisin in the Sun. The play was written by Lorraine Hansburry, and it was the first Broadway play written by an African American woman. In the play, the Younger family, a family of five, live in a small two-bedroom apartment in Chicago. Mama, Lena, is about to receive an insurance check from her husband's death in the mail and has to decide what she is going to do with it. The check is seen as a beacon of hope to change their family's lives and make it much easier. Lena's son, Walter, wants to use it to leave his old job as a chauffer for a white man and invest in a liquor store, while Lena's daughter, Beneatha, wants to use it to help pay for her education to become a doctor. In the end, Mama entrusts some money to Walter and decides to buy a house in a white neighborhood to better accommodate their family because Walter's son had been sleeping on the living room couch. Walter's wife, Ruth, also goes through her own problems when she learns that she is expecting another child in a household that is already having a hard time getting by.

    Cobras Movie Comparison

    The movie did a good job at staying to the main story idea/objective. The problem in the movie was that the main ccharacter was that there were two snakes that were harrassing a bird named Darzee, that of which he had to face head on. This was quite similar to the story or printed version. One of the only thing that were differrebt were that rrikki killed anyvif the snakes he was going against, because the father did help eand some of them. The climax was when Rikki killed Nag, without any help from the dad. This is a way that rikki was visually biult up more to be the hero. This also a turningn point in the short film and helps lead into the final battle with Nagina. The resolution is when Nagina dies. Her death helps the reader feel more at peace, which is one of the reasons to have a happy endding or resolution, because the threat of the snkes are no longer in the garden. The overall movie was very simular to the book and did a very good job at expressing the main piont of the…

    "It's a lovely story full of love and fun and adventure. I love this classy edition with illustrations that deliberately avoid linkage to the film. There is much more humor in the book than they could get into the film. The humor works very well and the characters are entrañables.Me likes adventures and actions in this book and especially how the book related to the cycle of hero…

    Graduation by Maya Angelou

    I thought the writer had a really good flow of style and expressed herself really well, especially with the storyline. It was a great story overall, the writer was very graphic with her words and it kind of made me feel like I was there re-living that moment with her. Her style was cool and she built up the story with conflict. The suspense was awesome because she made it feel like it was going to be good from the start to the end, but then I felt the tension when things became dark and muggy. The argumentation was written well and the story ended on a good note. The writer wrote for her people and you could literally…

    Nuit of the Living Dead

    When the story really starts to take off is when the main character, who is also the writer, launches into his description of the mice in the attic with walnuts from the tree in the side yard. After finding a mouse struggling still alive in one of the traps set in the attic, the main character sets about trying to rescue the poor mouse. Through a rather darkly humorous set of events the main character ends up trying to mercifully drown the…

    "The World Is Blue" Reflection Essay

    Earle utilizes her chapter on fish to call the world out on the elephant in the room-overfishing. Earle discusses how at one time in history, people believed that there was an infinite amount of fish to be caught, that there would never be a day when we would see something as popular as tuna, go extinct. We are sitting on the eve of “that day.” Earle really brings out the reality of overfishing, almost mocking our early ideas of sustainable yield. “..but those pesky animals didn’t obey the rules.. So what’s wrong with the concept of sustainable yield?” (Earle) Earle makes keen note that you cannot possibly create a concept of sustainability, when you know next to nothing about the species you are supposedly “yielding”. Earle debunks the idea of a surplus in the ocean of a healthy ecosystem, stating “What APPEARS to be an overabundance to human observers is a natural insurance policy...” (Earle) Earle applies the same idea of questionable yield to marine mammals. She spends a fair amount of this chapter on the touchy subject that is almost always controversial-whaling. She lends a nod…

    * This story is a bit slower, perhaps better read by an older teenager. This book makes you think, and I found myself thinking about the message and the point and the depth of the novel.

    I think an important event in the novel Red Sky In The Morning by Elizabeth Laird is Ben’s birth. This is an important event because Ben is handicapped, which teaches Anna and her family how different life can be and how to cope when you have a disabled child in the family. Ben’s birth triggered a lot of other important events in the novel, such as Anna being scared to tell her classmates about her brother and Miranda finding out about Ben.…
