“Eleven” and “Spotlight” are quite similar in style‚ but not in voice. They may have the same revolving theme of mean teachers and breakdowns‚ but the tones they take and even the sentence structure they have is completely different. “Eleven” is a story by Sandra Cisneros‚ which is about a girl named Rachel and an ugly red sweater. While in class‚ Rachel’s teacher is asking the class whose red sweater it is. Rachel is seemingly the only one in class that doesn’t say that it’s hers‚ which makes

The Romans political power was extremely in need of assistance. Being part of the government in Rome was seen as a punishment instead of a reward. Government officials were mostly assassinated or committed suicide (Document A). There were also many civil wars‚ which led to the division of the empires. Rome was politically

While reading section five‚ it occurred to me that I believe Station Eleven will always be favored by most people‚ but it will never be someone’s favorite novel. Personally‚ my three favorite books include Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom‚ The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls‚ and Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. I have just realized all the books mentioned are non-fiction texts. Anyway‚ I enjoy Albom’s memoir because I gained an abundant amount of knowledge and life lessons after reading it.

In the story “Eleven” by Sandra Cisneros is a story told as from the eyes of an eleven year old girl. The narrator at times‚ gives the reader the feeling you are really reading a story written by an eleven girl and not a grown woman. One can tell this by the author’s word choices throughout the story. Like the narrator repeatedly uses the word “stupid”‚ which to me is a word an eleven year old would really use. As she describes multiple things as “stupid”‚ such as describing her classmate Sylvia
