In Florence Kelley’s heart wrenching call for awareness of child labor she uses quite a few rhetorical devices. An anaphora is the most recognizable as she’s trying to nail in how she would could be helping the children. Pathos is another of her persuasion methods used in her tone. Kelley also uses a fair amount of imagery throughout the passage. First and foremost, Kelley’s use of an anaphora is what really pulls the audience’s attention.
Imperialism, white supremacy, and ghost stories have captivated the human mind for generations. It’s believed by many that there is actually a causal relationship between past dominations and the spiritual lingering characteristic of the souls of the lost. Famous writers, such as Stephen King and Rudyard Kipling, as well as the movie director Stanley Kubrick all highlighted the long-standing concept that the souls of the deceased still remain on the locations of their previous homes that they occupied before they were slaughtered by domineeringly ethnocentric groups. In Stephen King’s The Shining, and in Kubrick’s film version of the novel, the white domination over the Native Americans in the West was a central theme, and was symbolically
He is now 90 years old and still mows his lawn every day and plays with my younger cousins. He takes walks everyday and on occasion goes for a bike ride. I have learned many lessons from him. For example he has taught me that if you want to do something, no matter what it is, you should do it while you still can because one day you will wake up and never be able to do it again. He has showed me that even though things are challenging and very tough, you have to persevere because there is always something better down the road.
Great Grandpa loved gardening, he always had a garden full of fresh fruits and vegetables. He also liked bowling; he was on a league when he was younger. He worked hard as a carpenter to support his family.
Grandpa never missed a school concert or a baseball game. We have a cabin in Birchwood, Wisconsin. They would drive up there for the day. They both loved to go on road trips. Grandpa was able to teach Vincent so many things in such a short about of time.
The lesson I will learn from my grandpa is that even though he died before I was born he still plays a big role in my
My dad has many friends, some I got to know better than others. One in particular that has had an impact on me was his friend, Melvin Farmer. Mr. Melvin is a quiet man; he doesn’t shout, doesn’t get agitated easily and is very polite. But he will tell you like it is, no matter what. He has done a lot, and you wouldn’t know it by looking at him
My grandfather was probably one of the most significant people i've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He was always happy and living in the moment, and he somehow, endlessly made people laugh. He was the life of the party and his smile always lit up the room. When he passed away, I had a very eye-opening realization. I realized that I should try to live the the simple, joyful life my grandpa had lived.
The elderlies are people who have enough problems and things to worry about in their life’s and would not like to have more, putting up with us volunteers. The Valley Grande Manor is at 1212 South Bridge Avenue Weslaco, TX it is a place for elderly who have no family or anybody else to take care of them. I started to volunteer there for my class English 1302, as a project for my future, to gather data on how these nurses take care of them. When I first applied to volunteer they were so many elderly it remind me of many horror movies because it was wheelchairs, needles, and a big empty old cafeteria that was clean, but not remodeled. It was not comfortable until I talked to this man sitting alone before entering the main building of the nursing

Throughout my life I have come from and created a few identities for myself. Perhaps, the most dominant identities that have been apart of my life are being an athlete and being a family orientated man. In this paper I will write about how my identities have shaped my life. First off I believe my biggest identity is being an athlete.
Although graduating early means I will have more work than usual, I am perfectly fine with that. I can put in the work and the dedication to do what I need to do to finish early. By graduating early, I can start college early and get a little head start on things. Graduating early will push me to take risk that I’ve never taken. Entering the adult world will help me realize of what I am capable
For my interview, the aging individual is a person I have known my whole life. Though she is not blood related, she is considered family, and an important person in my life. I chose her because I have seen her go through the aging process in a positive, and inspirational way. She has defied the norm that a woman needs a man in her life, yet she has lived her life without being in a single relationship. I have structured this interview to make it more like she is telling me her story.
As I a sat in my chair, in front of the nursing home, looking at the pretty slushy snow on the ground, I think of how my life could have been different, I could have had working legs, a working body, I could have not accepted all those people who said that they were my friends then left. Then, I hear three different voices approaching me. I get so excited, and forgetting all of my problem, I think: Maybe they are here to volunteer or to take me out for a walk. Just as I finish my thought I feel a freezing wet ball hit my face and just as I scream I feel another freezing chile slithering down my body. “Aaaahhhh,” I try my best to scream, but it only comes out as a squeal.
