Short Story Of Mrs. Elbert Stevenson
Mrs. Elbert Stevenson was a target of someone who wanted to kill her, but we don’t know who exactly. Mrs. Stevenson was home alone and wanted some company so she tried calling her husband’s office over and over but the line was busy. She called once more and overheard a murder that is going to be committed at eleven-fifteen at night. When it was eleven-fifteen, it was Mrs. Stevenson who was killed. I believe that her husband is behind the murder plot of Mrs. Stevenson because he suddenly had to leave for Boston on a urgent business and how he abores her but had to leave her side ever since Mrs. Stevenson took sick twelve years ago. I wonder why he adores her and just leaves since she is sick.

I believe that Mrs. Stevenson’s husband despised

    It wasn't hard for me to sympathize with Harriet Jacobs while reading her autobiography because of the stories my grandmother told me about her mother during this time period. My great grandmother was a slave in Georgia during antebellum period and had very similar stories. Her slave owner was Edward Archelaus Flewellen he was a medical director for the confederate army. Having connections to someone that went through the same thing as Harriet Jacobs just made her stories hit me more in the heart. I had already knew women were taking advantage of and was destroyed morally and emotionally during this time. I just know now that it was more women with my great grandmother that also went through this disgusting and horrible period of…

    In the story “Eleven” the narrator Rachel acts more like a child. In the ninth paragraph, the author states, “That’s not, I don’t, you’re not…Not mine.” When Rachel speaks like this she is not forming her words properly like a tween would. She is talking like a two-year old that is whining. Additionally, the character Rachel stated “Not mine, not mine, not mine.” When Rachel says this, she is not stating what she wants to say, making herself sound childish. Rachel needs to speak her mind to the teacher, instead of saying “not mine” in her head. Finally, according to the text Rachel stated, “That stupid Phyllis Lopez, who is even dumber than Sylvia Saldivar.” Again, when Rachel calls people stupid and dumb since someone made a mistake she is…

    Miss Watson's Satire

    • 293 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In Twain’s portrayal of Widow Douglas and Miss Watson though both are described with satire, Miss Watson is more so through his usage of sardonic voice. In his description of the Widow Douglas it was a more orderly alinge of how things went while he was with her, a cut and dry example of how supper went as well as the clothing he was forced to wear. Minus minor insults to her feelings on smoking while she ‘took snuff’, the satire was played out more subtly compared to Miss Watson. When describing and speaking of the latter woman he held more of a tone of bitterness as she spoke to him on the good place and the bad, saying ‘Well, I couldn't see no advantage in going where she was going, so I made up my mind I wouldn’t try for it.” as well as…

    So why did Stevenson go to such lengths to evoke pathos in his readers? While reading “Just Mercy”, it started to dawn on me that anonymity lay at the root of cruelty. In other words, it is much easier to issue a harsh sentence to a total stranger than to an acquaintance, in the same way as it is easier to shoot at an enemy at a distance than to thrust a knife into his body while looking him in the eyes. From the moment he gets to know the accused as a real human being, the judge will feel an extra responsibility to act fairly and will become less likely to overlook his innocence (if he did not commit any crime). After all, many on death row have killed without premeditation and do not merit execution. In this context, mercy is a tool for bringing justice and throughout “Just Mercy”, Stevenson illustrates this principle with plenty of…

    Football helmet

    • 541 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The average tackle football player has a natural tendency to experience fear and tension when thinking about the heavy rate of concussion injuries within the sport. In response to the violently physical nature of the game, Riddell Sports has produced a helmet that provides the best defense to worries and consequences of a concussion. The Riddell Revolution 360 football helmet has been constructed by engineers to protect the mental processes and safety of players. As a football player myself, I can think of no better alternative for head trauma prevention than this helmet. Riddell takes into account and states that players sustain roughly 950 impacts to the head over the course of a season. As a result of this, the helmet places a strong emphasis on protection of the most impacted part of the head, the front. Patented in 2012, HIT technology was established by Riddell in their experiment labs to measure the severity and location of head impacts from all directions. This technology proves that detrimental impact to the brain can go unnoticed or misunderstood, and use it to prevent future mental problems for players. This product changes the way participants feel comfortable and confident on the playing field more than ever before. The technology that is added includes a new carbon steel facemask that flexes in reaction to impact. Also added to the helmet was a new face frame structure which is made up of continuous hexagonal shaped padding on the interior that shapes to players heads for a custom and tight fit. This is important for reducing the amount of force to the head, which will allow the sport to be more commonly tolerated by everyone interested. With the rise of cognitive damage in football due to head trauma, parents are more hesitant than ever to allow their children play the game at a young age. However, parents can be assured that the expanded technology in the Riddell 360 will protect their children like never before.…
