Dusk had come, silent, ceremonious, which brought her painful but pleasant memories in the diminishing light. Her shaking hands and arthritic fingers from the passing of time were holding the record player’s metal arm. The stylus hopped, moving lightly and quickly over damaged grooves from excessive use, landing very deep in the vinyl recording. She attempted again, one of her hands embracing the other, to the point where the overture’s rewarding hop and crepitation signified the precise spot. The incongruous speakers passed a faint melody of music.
The piece of writing which I felt was unsuccessful for me was the Rhetorical Analysis of an article relating to a topic from our course book The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander. This piece of writing was difficult for me to organize my ideas around. The article that I decided to use for my rhetorical analysis highlighted mass incarceration among African American and the effect of civil liberties being are taken away from these individuals. I had a lot of repetition because many of the examples I used demonstrated more than one type of appeal. I found myself repeating what the purpose of the example was and how it demonstrated proper use of ethos, pathos, and logos.
It was a beautiful day for the beautiful game of baseball to be played in the friendly confines of Wrigley Field, Chicago: breezy, sunny, but not a scorching hot, sweat-bead kind of day. Merely six miles south of Wrigley Field, we boarded the CTA purple line el train, along with clusters and clusters of Chicago Cubs fans also getting on each and every rail car from who knows where. But, let me tell you, I was in awe; I have never been with so many true fans who knew, not only baseball, but knew the Cubs! “Who’s ready for the Cubs to crush the Astros!”
One Saturday in 1965 I happened to be walking past the National Archives buil~ling in Washington. Across the interim years I had thought of Grandma's old stories-otherwise I can't think what diverted me up the Archives' steps. And when a main reading room desk attendant asked if he could help me. I wouldn't have dreamed of admitting to him some curiosity hanging on from boyhood about my slave forebears. I kind of bumbled that I was interested in census records of Alamance County, North Carolina, just after the Civil War.
He looks at me solemnly "Any girl of your age would have been broken by now. And not just on the inside." "Any boy your age would've been hiding under a bed by now. " I retort with a sickly grin. "I highly doubt that, but perhaps some are already in hiding."

BREDOCK HOLT OPENED HIS EYES, there was a sharp stabbing pain behind his left ear. He took a moment to gather himself, remembering his efforts to obtain entry to the stronghold without arousing too much suspicion. The fight in the bar, someone had clubbed him. Vaguely he recalled being dragged out of the tavern and along the trail leading to the keep.
“You’re not. You mentioned you had skill at washing clothes. Well, as I am sure you can smell, the men are not keen on keeping up with the washing of their clothes and bedding, which means head house and fleas abound. We could use a reliable washerwoman.” “The Knight Commander might let me work?
7 Lessons from a Llama A light snow had fallen, the first of the winter in Colorado. The fog and darkness descended early, and in the distance Ebenezer heard the bells from a neighborhood church traveling through the chilled night air from a mile away. Climbing the narrow staircase and entering the loft through the padlocked door then padlocking it again on the inside, he looked out the fogged-over window at the swirling clouds. The cold became intense; everything foggier yet, and colder; piercing, searching, biting cold.
Lance knew he was dreaming when he looked around his surrounding. He was in a garden with flowers and a pond not too far away. The white water lilies blooming beautifully in a sea of blue. He knew that the garden he was in was private one.
One of the main themes of segment one was learning how to write a proper summary. I believe I was able to achieve this goal and multiple others throughout this unit. In an explanatory essay I learned that you need to refer to the author multiple times throughout the written piece. For example in my Style and Revolt essay I wrote: “Hebdige opens his essay by sharing the unconventional style of punk fashion. This style would often times be seen as frightening or offensive for those who were not in the punk culture”.
It was a long walk into the heart of section 0 of the continent Lee thought.. He had passed through town by town over the last 3 weeks. Sometimes able to hitch a ride on a horse cart but often just forced to walk. His parents were only able to give him 3 gold coins to use for his trip.
our essay, of course, was an essay and so it should or could be written in an informal style. For the majority of graduate-school assignments, however, you should be writing in a formal, scholarly style. An APA Manual, a Writer 's Reference from Hacker, a Turabian, or a Strunk are all good sources for improving your writing. For most of the things you need to know, the old editions are fine, and they are inexpensive and available at flea markets, used book stores, and garage sales for next to nothing.
I woke up wet again. Waking up wet is a weird feeling. I can sort of tell when I first wake up if I am but know for sure when I slide my fingers into my pussy and they get covered in my pussy juices. My normal edging time has been cut down by a 2 or 3 minutes. I started by slowly rubbing my fingers on my clit in circles.
