Among the teachers I have encountered through my school life‚ Mrs. Smith is the one that I most admire. She was one of my English teachers in junior high. In contrast to other teacher’s apathy‚ her vitality always refreshed the atmosphere in our classroom. Moreover‚ her enthusiasm and thoughtfulness warms my heart to this day. Mrs. Smith’s charisma won everyone’s appreciation soon after she began teaching us. Since she was not our first English teacher‚ everyone had a skeptical eye on her

The underlying theme in Joan Didion’s essay “Marrying Absurd” is that customs and traditions of typical marriages do not apply in Las Vegas. Didion begins her essay describing the lack of requirements to obtain a marriage license in Las Vegas. She states that one can marry at almost any time or day‚ it just might cost a little more. Las Vegas has transformed the traditional wedding industry into a 24 hour seven day a week instant wedding industry. Didion quoted justice of the peace‚ Mr. James A.

When Joan Didion said that the “lesson” of her story is that it is distinctly possible to remain too long at the fair‚ she meant that you may enjoyed your time there‚ there is a time where you want to go home. In her essay I think she was talking about how it was fun in New York for a time‚ then there came a time when she just wanted to leave. In the story it gives several times where she couldn’t go into some places because she was so tired of going to them. “There were certain parts of the city

Play It As It Lays: Life Unscripted (DRAFT) Maria Wyeth is an actress‚ a beaut‚ a dimming star‚ a schizophrenic‚ and beyond that a untraditional loving mother to Kate‚ her daughter. The way Joan Didion writes “Play It As It Lays” in satirical way upon Hollywood lifestyle is tantalizing the mind to think that Hollywood is full of people who have problems of drinking‚ drug abuse‚ and sex. Which is undeniable happening in the most era of Hollywood lifestyle since the day one. Fame‚ success and pouring

“We should not be making sport out of deliberately trying to do [brain] damage”‚ said Joan Beck. That is true‚ boxing is dangerous. However‚ I disagree with Beck’s view of boxing‚ and I believe the meaning of boxing is not just hurting your opponent. First‚ boxers know the dangerous of their sport and they choose to fight. They also receive what they risk for‚ well-paid. We have to allow people to make their own choice in life. The government should not ban something adults choose to do unless

In the essay “Santa Ana” by Joan Didion‚ the author was very descriptive with imagery‚ tone‚ objective description‚ and subjective description. The way she spoke to the reader about the weather in Los Angeles actually drew an illustration in my head due to the great description by the author. She portrayed an image of how disturbing the winds were and how society was affected by the Santa Ana. The Santa Ana winds in Los Angeles are disturbing because they cause people to act in ways they normally

An Absolutely Ordinary Rainbow-Les Murray. In Les Murray’s ’An Absolutely Ordinary Rainbow’‚ there is a clear unconventional portrayal of the hero‚ and he shows many heroic concepts as a result of the dramatic techniques used to convey the notion of the weeping man not being society’s ’conventional perception’ of a hero. The poems persona is simply an un-named ’observer’ who tells the story‚ in a third person present tense narrative form ("they") which assists in portraying the notion that a weeping
