Salutatory Address The last few years have just flown by‚ leaving behind loving memories of high school. It also became a long but fast year of hardships‚ trials and sorrows.

Selected Views of the Battle of Gettysburg On July 1st of 1863 the battle of Gettysburg began. The battle was more less an unexpected disaster; neither side had planned the battle they ended up in the same place and the battle begun. There where many wounded and many casualties. Much like the final battle in The Red Badge of Courage when most of Henry’s regiment is wiped out by a daring charge. This charge leads to the downfall of the Confederacy as well as the fall of Henry’s regiment.

In the excerpt‚ “My Name” from Sandra Cisneros’ novel‚ “The House on Mango Street”‚ she uses specific diction‚ syntax‚ and imagery to create tone. The best example of this is in paragraph 3 when Esperanza talks about her grandmother. Using imagery for example‚ Cisneros paints a picture by saying‚ “My great-grandmother. I would’ve liked to have known her‚ a wild horse of a woman‚ so wild she wouldn’t marry. Until my great-grandfather threw a sack over her head and carried her off. Just like that
