Fear‚ isolation‚ and the shear will to survive. The selection “I Survived the Blizzard of ‘79” by author Beth Ann Fennelly has a forceful impact on its reader because the use of personification amplifies the severity of the storm and in using personification Fennelly helps to understand the age of the characters.

I really enjoyed reading your discussion board on the Wounded Warrior Project. The Wounded Warrior Project helps a lot of our military vets when they come home after serving their country in the military. Because a lot of times some vets can come back and not have a strong support structure waiting for them when they arrive. The organization not only helps the wounded veterans when they return but also to the family. You bring up some very good concepts that are important to the organization such

Persepolis thus far‚ I have first noticed that this story seems as if it will be a memoir that really shows just how a girl becomes an adult. In the woman warrior‚ it seemed as if the story was a bit more of an autobiographical account than Persepolis. The life that Marji had to deal with was filled with many tough times.
