Aside from the terrible thing that Nick Levil did, Nick and Valerie were a couple. They enjoyed being with each other and shared an emotional connection. Now with Nick being gone, Valerie has plenty of overcoming to do. She has to live the consequences that came with Nick´s shooting, mainly because they were in a relationship and detectives assume she has the answer to everything revolving the shooting. The song Silence fits like a puzzle in this essay because of the content and emotion the writer put into the lyrics. Marshmello and Khalid talk about struggling emotionally and confidently in their relationships. Not only in relationships, but loneliness and lost love. ¨I found peace in your violence, can´t tell me there's no point in trying.¨
Doubt is something that instilled into Valerie’s mindset and dynamic. Throughout the story she questions herself and her ability to overcome obstacles which shows us how much of a doubtful person she is. Evidence of this is when she states “Was I the bad guy who set into motion the plan to mow down half my school or the hero who sacrificed herself to end the killing?” This shows that Valerie is doubtful; she can’t figure out her role in the situation and doesn’t trust herself enough to know what her intents were. Valerie proves to be a doubtful person when she reveals that she doesn’t know who she is and can’t identify herself as a person.
Although Nick was in love with Gatsby, he stayed with Jordan. Gatsby would use Nick to get through to Daisy since Nick was her cousin.
English: • Explain what ‘gaps’ and ‘silences’ are. Good morning ladies and gentleman, I am here today to talk about one of the gaps and silences in the novel ‘A Bridge to Wise Man’s Cove’, now you may be wondering what a gap or a silence is. Well, a gap is a part of a novel where there is no explicit answer and the reader must make assumptions using their prior knowledge of texts and of the culture in order to make sense of it and thereby the reader is expected to complete the gaps in the text. A silence is much harder to detect and understand as the text is constructed by choices made about what to include or exclude. Silences may be conscious or unconscious oversights on the part of the author.
The author compared the silence of the kids to the noiselessness mice. Bowden used simile to show the fear and confusion of the kids. Their silence can mean that they do not know what is happening since they are kids, they have a limited amount of knowledge about the problems in Mogadishu. It must be terrifying for them to speak out to the Americans and ask why they are destroying the city. Therefore, it clearly shows that the Americans are not only hurting Aidid’s militia but also the children in need of education.

Kylie Hart Ms. Chelsky English 11 22 January 2018 Theme: Adaptation and Strength Song: Silence by Marshmello This song relates to The Catcher in the Rye because they both have the theme of adaptation and strength. In silence he talks about how he found peace in their violence and how he will always keep getting back up into the fight. ¨ I found peace in your violence Can't tell me there's no point in trying I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long¨ which shows that he's overcoming his previous weakness.

Martin Luther King Jr once stated, “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends”. This statement is not false but true. Martin Luther King Jr was explaining that in life people have conflicts, however, the silence of friends can make the conflict stronger.

Hassan works through the themes of, families bring comfort and conflict, defining moments and finding my way, and man’s inhumanity to man. “ I forbid you to do this!” Baba bellowed. “Do you hear me ? I forbid you” (Hosseini 107)!
Some have coined music as a universal language. Perhaps, the complexity of the notes, the consistency of the beat, the array of instruments, or the flow of lyricism offers this universal appeal. Nevertheless, the unique composition of each song enables it to sustain its own magnetic aura, much like the musical implication in Lewis Nordans Music of the Swamp. Though, many argue Nordans piece suggests merely a collection of short stories rather than a novel, Nordan uses his singsong methodology- a novel-in-stories- to incorporate an anthology of his transformative memory- an autobiography of the way it was.
When they mention how the “words of the prophets are written on the subway walls” could also again reference the adverts placed there, focusing on how as humans we see so many products on a daily basis that we feel compelled to buy, making these companies so rich that they might as well be gods, showing how they are above us all. The Sound of Silence being the reluctance to speak up against a company so their product remains on shelves. We treat these large corporations as if they were gods, as if they own us, hence why the people “bowed and prayed” to these gods. “People talking but not speaking” references the fact that people are happy to live life as it is, without speaking the true issues that matter, and “People hearing without listening” could be seen as people who unintentionally
