Assignment 1 Final draft Yi Chen Should we lie? What is the conversation? In the class we did talk a lot about that.

CIRCUS ANIMALS DESERTION The speaker describes searching in vain for a poetic theme: he says that he had tried to find one for “six weeks or so‚” but had been unable to do so.

Should Teachers Be Allowed to Ban Laptops in Classrooms? I know some college teachers are starting to ban laptops from classrooms. I think that laptops should not be banned.

there is a hindrance in decision making and hope in waiting. The purpose of repetition done by Estragon and Vladimir repeating each others lines‚ alternating back and forth symbolizes the repetitiveness of life. "Estragon: The circus. Vladimir: The music-hall. Estragon: The circus." One of the commonly repeated dialogues is when Estragon wants to leave but Vladimir reminds him that they are waiting for Godot. Not only is there repetition in speech of the characters but in the series of events. Vladimir

“In a world where everything is an illusion‚ how can one know what is real?” In the Night circus‚ it is quite hard to discern this. Within the text‚ in the simplest of terms‚ an illusion is manipulating an environment or someone’s vision/view. Finding the reality of this novel lies with the characters and their relationships‚ emotions and their reactions to their experiences and how these things can be altered by a person’s perspective and their knowledge.

Should Circuses be Allowed to have Animals? Animals have been part of the circus since Roman times‚ but should they really be there? Should innocent animals be mistreated so they can ‘perform’ and entertain the public? I believe it’s cruel and animals should be banned from circuses. If you knew how the animals were really treated ‘behind the scenes’ you probably wouldn’t want to go to a circus again. Whilst the animals are being trained‚ their trainers use bull hooks and electric rods to make
