The texts Life of Pi written by Yann Martell, On the Sidewalk Bleeding by Evan Hunter, War Horse directed by Steven Spielberg and World’s Fastest Indian directed by Roger Donaldson are all related to the theme belonging. The definition of belonging is the feeling of being secure in your s relationships and surroundings. This can be achieved by communicating with others or by finding a special connection and friendship.

A similarity between On the Sidewalk Bleeding and War Horse related to friendship is that the main characters (the protagonists) both lose a loved one that they were close friends with. In On the Sidewalk Bleeding Andy loses Laura because Andy is dying, due to being stabbed by a gang. Laura is Andy’s girlfriend and he wished to marry her. We know this because he says, “Someday he will marry her”. This quote shows that Andy wanted to be close to Laura forever. In War Horse a boy called Albert loses his horse called Joey. Joey travelled to Germany to fight in war. Albert was sad because he wanted to be Joey’s rider but he was too young. Albert says, “Wherever you are, I will find you and bring you home.” Albert, like Andy wishes to be with Laura forever and side by side with his horse forever. In both of these texts characters gain belong because and love and friendship. In Life of Pi and War Horse the main characters both have a special talent for communicating with animals. In War Horse Albert’s father brought a horse for helping on the farm but it turned into a war Horse. Joey (Albert’s horse) is a friend of Albert because Albert trained Joey and became friends.

    To me belonging is a sense of enlightenment felt when an individual gains an understanding of themselves in relation to others and the wider world. To actually feel as if we belong, we must first accept ourselves and be accepted by others. A real sense of belonging can be determined by self-acceptance and acceptance by a group. However, when difficult situations are experienced, an individual may gain a sense of belonging through self-acceptance alone. This is clearly represented in the novel, ‘The Passage’, written by Justin Cronin, the poem, ‘St. Patricks College’, composed by Peter Skrzynecki and the film, ‘The Perks Of Being A Wallflower’ directed by Stephen Chbosky. These three texts clearly reflect how one would belong through self-acceptance.…

    Violent crimes in Chicago are trending up. Every day there are multiple homicides. Living in the Chicagoland area people are exposed to Chicago media and their coverage of these violent crimes. In a Wall Street Journal article “Chicago Dials Back on 911 Responses,” Jack Nicas reports on this argument. He is trying to bring the issue to a national audience and let them know about the policies Chicago is putting in place about dealing with the homicide rate. The beginning of the article talks about the solution Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel and Police Chief Gary McCarthy have for the cities increasing homicide rate. Chicago Law Enforcement’s solution is to not respond in person to non-violent Crimes. Some of the non-violent crimes include, burglary, robberies, car theft, and threatening phone calls. These are considered to be crimes that in which no one is in imminent danger. These non-violent crimes will be dispatched to desk officers who will fill out police reports by phone. Chicago will keep 44 more police officers on the streets trying to prevent the violent crimes from happening. Arguments continue to swirl on this recent issue. Many Chicagoans oppose. What are their tax dollars paying for? What about increasing the number of police officers in the city? Jack Nicas uses all three rhetorical appeals and uses statistics that have helped put the new policy in place. He quotes from Chicago Police Chief Gary McCarthy and other high rank law enforcement officials. Also Nicas touches on some of the non-violent crimes that will be dispatched to officers on phones. His audience is a national audience and does not direct the article towards the city of Chicago. From reading Jack Nicas’ article he opposes of the decision. Yet the way the article is written makes his argument not effective.…
