Justin's Quotes From 'The Elephant Man'
I believe the author opened paragraph five (Justin) with a quote from “The Elephant Man” because Justin is the kind of person who sees things in a positive perspective and has hopes and ideas for his life. On page 187 the text states “ The first time I met Olivia’s little brother, I have to admit I was totally taken by surprise. This shows that even after learning about Auggie in advance Justin is still a little shocked, but later on page 188 Justin states “I'm not freaked out or scared , I smile” I feel this information Links to the quote because Justin looks on the bright side, just like having a big head only because it is filled with dreams. Like Olivia said on page 189 “friends wouldn't come to my birthday parties, because he would be

    Jerry Renault had a huge impact on me from the book. He was just a little freshman that nobody would have thought anything more about. He seemed as though he was just another kid to pick on, but it turns out he was something more than that. Jerry was sought out by Archie and considered to be a potential candidate of the coveted Vigils. Archie saw something in Jerry that nobody else did.…

    Rhetorical appeals; ethos, logos, and pathos are used in the artifact to influence that audience to agree with the given position. In a meme, pathos is the most apparent appeal applicable. To invoke an emotion of happiness in the form of humor is the driving purpose among memes. The humor of my meme is ridiculing dick jokes; good for the entire family. Also, by referencing Saturday Night Live’s “Dick in a Box” by Justin Timberlake there is an understanding of what I am trying to depict in the meme; and an added humor imaging that trump is in the box for the entire short skit.…

    In the novel by William Goldman, the character Buttercup is a 17 year old girl who comes off naive, rude, arrogant and rather clueless to other’s feelings or intentions towards her. For example she is rude to the farm boy, Westley in the beginning. Buttercup does not know that she has offended other girls in her village because the boys have noticed her beauty that she clearly does not see. However, despite her flaws, she is rather charming. She is a tomboy by heart and only cares to ride horses all day long and boss around Westley. She is naïve in the sense that she does not understand how someone could care if she were the most beautiful woman in the world or not. What difference could it have made if you were only the third most beautiful.…

    It was a cold winter day in the town of Budville. The sky was a leaden grey, heavy with snow. The ground was blanketed in a thick layer of frost, sparkling like countless diamonds under the dim light of the morning sun. Maria, a young girl of ten or eleven, trudged through the snow, her breath forming tiny white clouds in front of her face. She wore a thick fur coat and mittens, her scarf wrapped tightly around her neck to protect her from the bitter cold.…

    “I can't go back to yesterday - because I was a different person then.” This quote, said by Lewis Carroll, is true when it comes to growing up, because you cannot be the same as who you yesterday when growing up. This just so happens to be the theme in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll. Alice can not seem to go through Wonderland without getting confused or lost. While she wanders in Wonderland, she has to manage to go through size changes, which symbolize growing up. Meaning the whole plot of the story ties into growing up and the difficulties you are faced with. In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, symbolism, the setting, and the protagonist, who is Alice, contribute to the theme of the story, which…

    The Narrator also says things that are just about impossible. In the beginning of the story, he says, “I heard all things in heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in Hell.” (542). He is saying that he can hear things that know one could ever hear in their lifetime. He is being very dishonest, because practically everyone knows this is not true. Another example is when he says, “The ringing became more distinct-it continued and became more distinct…” (546). The ringing he is referring to is the heartbeat. The heartbeat of the man he killed, chopped up, and stuffed under the floorboards. This is impossible; to hear someone’s heart beat we need a stethoscope. We need certain tools, but he thinks he can hear a heartbeat with just his ear, and nothing else. Some people can’t hear people talking from across the room, and the majority of people can’t hear anything from a mile away. This shows he is untrustworthy, and he could be telling a false story.…

    Teenagers tend to want more liberty and want to move out of their parent's house, when they eventually do that they end up hating it because it did not met their expectations. When people are young and immature they make decisions, due to a certain lust or desire, which they latter on regret. Urging too much for something sometimes causes for you to take your distractions off the consequences, because you do not see them. These ignorant people will become understanding as they mature, and realize that some things in life our not quite as easy as they seem. "The Chaser," by John Collier shows how some people who are urging for things such as love, are so single minded that they ignore all other consequences and concerns. The bad affects that might occur are neglected and left for the future to make them dwell on the awful decisions.…
