I strongly disagree with the Dickenson County School Board extending the school day by an hour and a half. I do not feel an extension will benefit students or staff. For instance‚ students and staff will not have time for other activities outside of school. Everyone is required to spend an excessive amount of time at school as it is. Taking on an extra hour and a half of school will be more stressful for both students and staff. For these reasons‚ the school board needs to carefully consider all

Comparative Essay- The Manhunt vs. Hour Simon Armitage’s‚ ‘The Manhunt’ and Carol Ann Duffy’s ‘Hour’ both use strong feelings to emphasize their core messages. While each author takes a different perspective on the nature of these feelings‚ in the end‚ both poems have an intense feeling of love at their core. Armitage’s ‘The Manhunt’ is about a soldier coming home from the war with various injuries. It is told from the point of view of the wife/girlfriend of the soldier. As she slowly helps

The literary work that most captured my attention was The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin. I have chosen to do a Reader-Response approach to this paper. First off‚ I enjoyed the intense imagery the writer used in describing the sights and sounds that Louise experienced in her hour of life.

“The Story of an Hour” reflection‚ I find myself lumped together with the group of women that can feel compassion and sympathy for Mrs. Mallard’s situation. I do not think that she was cold or cruel in her reaction to the news of her husband’s death. In my opinion‚ Mrs. Mallard’s reactions were primal‚ completely genuine and justifiable. There are many pressures that people experience due to societal expectations and our own expectations of life and romance. There is no way to know that a commitment
