Two Kids Were Abducted At The Park Analysis
Two kids were abducted at the park. The author of this essay, Jonathan, was supposed to go to on the very same day of this horrible incident. He believes in luck, because luck is what helped him to not get abducted. He had a lot of responsibility, being the oldest sibling in his family, but this day he was allowed to be alone and have free time in this park. He still has a lot of luck to this day and he strongly believes in luck. I liked the way he told his story and it was very scary and emotional. I especially enjoyed how the mysterious and spooky tone of the essay. While I really liked the way this essay was written, I do not believe in his beliefs. I do not believe in luck; rather, I believe in skill and coincidences. Jonathan's

A childish tone is given off in “A Barred Owl” that helps the reader relate to the child’s fear while an ironic and sarcastic tone is given off in “The History Teacher” to show how the teacher’s attempt to keep the kids innocent quickly turns the kids’ thoughts from innocent to ignorance. Literary devices used by the authors guide the reader into seeing the effects of the adults’ lies, despite their good intentions.…

    One may believe that this story is very beneficial because it shows you that you need to take every experience and really appreciate the moment because there might not ever be another one like this. While reading through the essay the first time, trying to find his main points were difficult. His stories and his examples made it much easier to understand where exactly he was going. His essay was structured very well, although being frustrated due to not finding his main ideas the first time reading this essay, confusion about where he was headed never occurred. Agreement with his statements were constantly occurring while reading. Every point or example that he provided was backed up with evidence. Something that stood out to this reader was his example of the dogfish. This example talked about how there is a relationship that is between a dogfish and Shakespeare sonnet. A student that is desired to have either of these will have difficulty retrieving the creature itself from an educational package. This stood out because one may have never thought of putting these two subjects in the same sentence. This essay was one that stood out because it made one think logically throughout the whole…

    • 3 Pages

    nterest in restorative justice has been growing since the early 1990s. In many countries, programs, studies and discussion groups on the subject have proliferated. The failure of the punitive justice model, excessive use of incarceration and the alienation of victims and lack of response to their needs have generated support for this new way of thinking (Roach, 2000; Law Commission of Canada, 2003; Hudson, 2003). In Canada, the emergence of the restorative justice model can also be attributed to the inability of the justice system to find solutions to crime in Aboriginal communities and the problem of over-representation of Aboriginal persons in correctional facilities.…
