The opinions of average people on Edward Snowden are extremely polarized. Some people paint Snowden as a hero‚ loyal to democracy and exposing the evils of big government (“Securing Our Libery” 5). Other people label him as a traitor‚ endangering the lives of United States citizens and soldiers‚ since the enemy now knows more about our intelligence system (Walsh 11).

Thomas wants us to stop at the next train station of life‚ and he wants us to stick our heads out of the train of life. By doing this Thomas hopes that his readers will be able to experience the little things in life. The author wants us to make sure we don’t miss anything in life as it flashes by us‚ in a sense Thomas doesn’t want us a train stop that one might need to get off and explore

Edwards and Franklin both had different writing styles in their works and some similar ones. They both wanted what was best for them and their fellow man. The one difference was that Edward related all of his writings to the Bible and it seemed like you were reading it.

Even though they both have devoted their lives to their Puritan religion‚ there is a notable difference in Bradstreet and Edwards’ writing styles and their view on the Puritan religion. They are both well respected writers from the early 1700s‚ but their writing styles are completely different. Bradstreet uses a great deal of figurative language and rhyming in her poems. This helps emphasize

Ever since Edward was built‚ he was never going to fit into a normal lifestyle. Tim Burton’s film Edward Scissorhands‚ described as a ‘romantic‚ dark fantasy’‚ captures the effect of change in a monotonous American neighbourhood. Burton uses many different effects to portray that western society and lifestyle is very dull and full of carbon-copied people following the crowd. Through the use of colour contrast‚ stereotypes and an unusual visitor to the neighbourhood‚ Burton is able to convey his idea
