While you are doing something you often fail to pay attention to what is happening to you or around you. I would say that very few people would consider school the most fun part of their day or even a fun part of their day, but as I look back over the past four years I can confirm that it isn’t near as bad as some people made it out to be and that there were even parts that I would consider enjoyable. I would like to think…
The way that a hero reacts to a problem depends on what that problem is. In Fahrenheit 451 the problem is the people in the society and how they interact or don’t interact with each other. Montag originally doesn’t see this as a problem and continues on in his normal life until he meets Clarisse who opens his eyes to how life was before we were constantly occupied by TV and “families” that weren’t real. Whether or not Montag had just…
I would say that on the surface this book further pushes the idea that all Indians are drunks and druggies. Of course, this is not the intended purpose of the song, but it portrays the main character in a perpetual cycle of being addicted to drugs and then going to rehab. If you were just reading at the surface level of this book you could probably make the case that that is the story of the book. Once you get…
Reading I have challenged myself in reading this semester by reading a book that is more difficult and requires more attention than the books that I have read in the past. The main example of this was reading A Game of Thrones which was a different style of writing for me to read as well as a more complex type of book to read. I have also improved in being able to pick up details or make points out of some…
Treysen Craig English 4 Mrs. Jank The Power of Loyalty I chose loyalty to be the center that I looked at, because I think in my community it is much easier to find than people think, but it is just as easy to find disloyalty in the community. I analysis both in relation to different character from Hamlet ranging all the way from major characters down to characters that are only in one scene. They all show loyalty in…
How to Learn Having a leaky faucet? Something is making a random squeaking noise? To some people not knowing how things work is just fine with them, to other people it might drive them nuts to not know how something works. I like to think that I fall in the middle, this is shown in my childhood when I would love to take things apart to find how they worked, but only after they stopped working already. I could…
This draft is still extremely rough, but I think that my main ideas and content is there just needs to be polished and added on to to fully make the point that I want to make. I think that when I expand these points the main ideas will become clear. As a kid and even still now I like to learn, that doesn’t necessarily mean that I like to go to school and do homework all the time. It does…
Treysen Craig Mrs. Jank English 431 October 2017 A Game of Characters In this day and age more and more books forsake the idea of deep and developed characters rather for a fast paced story, and cookie cutter characters. Examples of this being books like The Red Pyramid and Harry Potter while both of these books are solid story wise their characters can leave something to be desired. You do not really get to understand their motives or why…
R. Martin continues to show his expertise in creating believable and lifelike characters that seem less like characters and more like real people that you could meet in real life. This allows you to form an actual connection with the character rather than just see them as a flat character on the page. The characters also form connections with each other that make them feel like normal people rather than just some fantasy character in a book. This can easily…
Nebraska Lit up with Lasers Beams of pure light shot across the entirety of downtown Lincoln as people of all ages looked up and imagined the majesty of Nebraska as displayed on the capital with lasers. It was impossible to take your eyes of the capitol as it was lit up with rainbow colored light. The first time in my life I had ever seen the capital dark was immediately interrupted by the stroboscopic rainbows coming from the lasers outlining…
