Summary Of Ashen Guy By Thomas Beller

Racism has been prevalent in the United States for a while. Yet, all of a sudden severe racism of a new degree erupted in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Chaos ensued following the failure of the city’s levy system; widespread flooding left the Big Easy in a panic.

Each tower fell completely to the ground, taking thousands of lives with it and injuring thousands more.

El Jones: The importance of spoken word poetry Spoken word poetry is a medium used to spread the concerns of generally disadvantaged groups in a non-structured widely received form. Many civil rights speeches use this style of poetry due to the ability it has to reach such a vast audience within a limited time and on poor finances. El Jones uses this style of poetry in her work to create a message that can reach a broad audience of varying social classes. In El Jones "I know what you see," there is an allusion to many political and economic troubles present to residents living within Halifax's Africville.

An example of this would be if a student gave up on their assignment, you could tell them the rewards of completing it. Rewards of completing an assignment could be getting good results at school and being able to enter tertiary education, which could promise you a job and possibly a well-paid one

Austin King Ms. Den Otter A.P. English Language and Composition President Obama Speech Analysis     On the morning of September 11th, terrorists hijacked 4 planes, 2 of which were crashed into the World Trade Center Buildings, another hit the Pentagon, and one was crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. This tragic morning in American history caused the death of almost 3000 people, and the leader of Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, was behind it. After planning a mission for around 4 years to execute Osama bin Laden, on May 2, 2011, he was killed by US special forces. President Obama follows this event with a speech, its goal being to inform the American people of the death of the man who had caused the death of so many loved ones, and achieves this by using rhetorical devices such as parallel structure and appeals to emotion.     In the beginning of President Obama’s speech announcing the death of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, he reminds the American people of the tragic events that took place on the morning of 9/11, when “nearly 3,000 citizens were taken from us.”

I remembered having the same emotions of shock and confusion that Thompson clearly relays in his story from that day when the planes struck the towers and thousands lost their lives. Though the newspaper article by Litsky and Williams is well written in its own right, the writing method employed seemed to separate me from the events being described. It was like I was viewing the events through a filter which blocked all emotion,

For nearly three weeks, snow drifts had been piling on and then partially exposing the glassy, lifeless male body which been lying frozen on the sidewalk next to the service entrance of 398 Broadway. It was January, and the wind tunnel canyons of Manhattan were bitter cold and gray - the kind of cold that makes you draw your aching fingers up into your gloves and won't let you start typing until you've sat on your hands, rubbed them together, blown on them, and opened and closed them repeatedly for at least ten minutes after entering the building. The drifts had largely dissipated as the wind deformed the box sheltering the stiff's upper torso and head, making the flaps smack wildly against his frosted glass right hand which protruded from
