1. The title of the article itself straight away emphasises on the fact how immature the explorers were‚ by calling them boys and showing how their childishness inevitably affects the reader – “taxpayer get’s rescue bill” – which straight away arouses a negative opinion towards the subject. The third paragraph uses a pattern of three to describe the forces involved: “the Royal Navy‚ the RAF and the British Coastguards”‚ implying that the rescue cost a lot of money and unnecessary trouble.

Prologue It was now only two weeks time until the return of Spring and Persephone seemed eager to return the world of man. Hades didn’t want to admit it‚ but there was an undeniable distance between him and his wife that made his stomach churn with unease. He moved his throne‚ so he was sitting in front of her‚ even now she seemed like she was in a place far from here. He knew he wasn’t the best husband‚ but they were still close when she was home. He looked at her closely‚ the freckles that

1. Page 16: “You can find money anywhere and everywhere. But the moment you have it‚ it runs right through your fingers.” ~Torvald a. This statement stands out to me‚ it reminds me of slim running through your hands‚ with money being the slim. This image would not be possible without the author’s word choir. He could have just said‚ “you spend money quickly‚” but he decided to add in an element of imagery to capture the audience. 2. Page 33: “However terrible I may actually feel‚ I want to prolong

Sugawara isn’t what you would call a responsible driver before he passed his driving assessment (which took him three whole times to pass by the way) Iwaizumi would often have to pick him up whenever they went on dates. He may seem like the reliable one in his group of friends‚ but really he’s just as wild. This lack of common sense on the road is one of Iwaizumi’s biggest worries. Valentine’s day was approaching‚ and well Suga finally got his licence. It was gross and humid that night when Suga

1. During the translator’s notes‚ I thought it was interesting when it states that‚ “…translators frequently disagree among themselves as to what a given word or phrase could mean.” When I think about it‚ words in different languages can translate into different meanings and/or other words entirely.

Quote from Text Commentary “I try in vain to be persuaded that the pole is the seat of frost and desolation… and diffusing a perpetual splendour” (7‚ 8). It is interesting to see how this person describes the North Pole because in reality the North pole is a place full of ice where few things have adapted to live. This person is speaking of finding beautiful things there and doing something great but it just doesn’t make sense because the North Pole is more of a barren wasteland than a place of

Questions: Is this taking place during a war? What war? World War II? “the site of the last bomb of the first blitz” What do you think is the significance of this quote‚ “destruction after all is a form of creation.” The quote is saying destruction is a form of creation because when you destroy one thing‚ you create something else. One example of this in the story was when Blackie’s gang was destroyed. When this occurred‚ T’s gang was able to be created. The destruction of Blackie’s gang was the

The air was thick with the stink of sweat‚ piss and stale tobacco that clung to Hector’s clothes. The taste of his last cigarette still lingered on his tongue‚ and he ached for another‚ but the driver had taken his whole pack. “Can’t have you smoking in the truck‚” Joe said as he stuck one of Hector’s prized cigarettes between his lips. “Might catch on fire.” Hector had bit the inside of his cheek.

Step One: Paul is the writer of the book of Galatians. (Gal. 1:1) Paul refers to the audience as those in Galatia. (Gal 1:2) “Galicia was the region of central Asia Minor habituated by Celtic people.”1 “The theme of Galatians‚ like that of Romans is justification by faith.” 2 Paul wrote the letter because of false teachers who were undermining the NT doctrine of grace.
