Text number 4: The text is a diary written by a woman and it is probably only to be read by herself. She is typing it down early in the morning¬ (7.15 a.m.) while her boyfriend Mark Darcy is still asleep. She starts with making a status over her weight in stones, her number of boyfriends, ¬the number of shags she and her boyfriend had and how many calories she has eaten. After ¬that she writes down how good she feels and she makes comparisons with herself and the newly wedded Jemima Khan. Her boyfriend does not wake up, so she types down what she want to make him for breakfast. The function of the diary is to help herself stop smoking and loose weight and - of most importance – to remind herself of all the signs of her being liked by others. The text is from the book ‘Bridget Jones' Diary' which is written by Helen Fielding. It is a one-way-communication in the diary and Bridget of course uses her private language and slang to communicate with herself. This makes the text easy to read and it makes the reader feel sympathy for Bridget.

Text number 5:
¬ A storyteller ¬tells the story of Winnie-the-Pooh and a boy named Christopher Robin. This boy is son of A. A. Milne who is the author of the book ‘Winnie-the-Pooh' (1926) and also the one who reads the story aloud for Christopher Robin. That is why A. A. Milne writes ‘I'm so sorry,' you said, and you fired again…' because the ‘you' is Christopher Robin. In the text Winnie-the-Pooh is hanging from a balloon trying to look like a cloud, so that the bees in the tree will not be suspicious. But the bees are attacking Winnie-the-Pooh, so he asks Christopher Robin to shoot the ballon, believing that it will be a less painful way of getting down on the ground. ¬A. A. Milne has probably been using the text as bedtime story or as entertainment for his son so it is written in an easy understandable, everyday, British language.

Text number 6: The text is from the book

    He would leave the letters under the print shop door at night, when his brother was away. Her autobiography mirrored and mocked the prejudices by showing her as a helpless woman whom was only there to be a wife and mother. It says, “I could be easily persuaded to marry”, and “As nothing is more common with us women, than to be grieving for nothing, when we have nothing else to grieve for”. Similar to Bradstreet, it’s sarcastic towards the views of how women should be, and what is expected. They both are struggling to get over the stereotypes. The letters also show how women were not appreciated for what they did. They could do everything right, but it would still be less than a…

    She writes in a visually descriptive language. She describes the children, with their hands in their pockets, their smooth jaws and chins, their freckles, their shortness and she uses simile and connotations in her poetic language. She writes: "My son, [...] chest narrow as the balsa keel of a model boat [...] (765)," suggesting that while he pretends to have this tough adult exterior, he is still fragile underneath. She also compares the birthday cake to a weapon of war, a turret, maybe on top of a tank, like it is on top of the table.…

    Joan Didion explains to us in the essay “On Keeping a Notebook” that her point of “keeping a notebook has never been, nor is it now, to have an accurate factual record of what I have been doing or thinking” (77). Throughout “On Keeping,” Didion tells us her reasoning for keeping a notebook is to see the types of expressions of how a person is feeling at a point in time, rather than keeping a diary which is just a record of dated events. Didion tells us that keepers of private notebooks are lonely and nervous children who were afflicted at birth (76). At such a young age, Didion could not stop whining, so her mother decided to give her a notebook in which she could amuse herself by writing down the thoughts that came to her mind. Her first entry at the age of five is about a woman trapped in two different worlds waiting for death to come get her. Somehow Didion has been afflicted at such a young age that she sometimes envies reality but does not possess it, thus causing her to keep a notebook based upon lies.…

    This suggests, if it suggests anything at all, that Lane didn’t pay Simpon much attention to what he has written and he also did not start a punk record label with Allysia. After the Big Melt that took place during the 1950s in Vernon BC, Alice’s diary entries are all dated and are not too many sentences long. They are shorter than the book is long. This is especially true somewhere in the middle, when they become longer in length and sometimes shorter as to which they might only be two sentences long. Furthermore, the text doesn’t follow a standard format like an article or a letter, it is more of random. This suggests the idea that no one likes having run on sentences or incorrect grammar and at least a paper you find online can be sure to reinforce the idea that just sharing thoughts and feelings is useful for…

    Physician Assisted Suicide

    End of life decisions can cause people to make choices they would not normally choose. People begin to reflect on their lives, remembering the good and the bad. I believe one wish when facing death that most people have is they do not want to suffer. They also do not want their family to watch them suffer. I think that physician assisted suicide may be a consideration in some extreme cases where pain cannot be controlled with medications or when the patient is comatose and will never regain consciousness. Many people believe that physician assisted suicide is unethical because it is viewed as murder. Those who view physician assisted suicide as unethical also feel that no one, even a physician has the right to assist anyone with suicide.…
