Winnie and The Everlasting Water “ The brave may not live forever, but the cautious never live at all by”-Allison Moulton. In the beginning of the story Winnie runs away to find the forever living Tucks. Later Winnie finds out that the spring water made you immortal. In my opinion, I think Winnie should not have drunk the water because Winnie would have to watch her loved ones die, the population would increase, and Winnie would have to keep the secret to herself forever about the spring water. To begin with, Winnie should have not drunk the water because she would have to watch her loved ones die. For instance, Winnie’s grandmother is mortal which means she cannot live forever and she can die. In my opinion I think Winnie did the right decision to not drink the water because she wouldn’t have to see her loved ones die and onces her loved ones die she would be lonely forever. Furthermore, if Winifred drunk the water and didn’t give it to the toad, the toad would have died and the toad was a special loved member to Winifred. I think Winifred’s decision of giving the water to the toad was an excellent idea …show more content…

Furthermore, the people that live in Treegap will want to drink the water to live forever and if they knew about the water the population would increase. In my opinion I think that if Winifred drunk the water the population in Treegap would increase because the people that live in Treegap would want to live forever and if Winifred didn’t drunk the water there wouldn’t be a big population in Treegap. Also, the animals in Treegap or in the woods animals like the dog that was attacking the toad might drink the water and the population of the animals would increase. In my opinion I think that if everyone knew about the water the population would increase but since Winifred didn’t drink the water the population of Treegap is

Essayist and Novelist David Foster Wallace, in his speech, “This is Water,” defends the true purpose of a liberal arts education, and emphasizes the necessity of thinking the right way in life. Wallace attempts to create a humble, personal tone through the use of informal diction, ethical appeals, and personal encounters in order to connect with his audience and shift them to see that they are not alone in this struggle, and they must prevail in order to truly be “living.” Wallace’s argument is successful due to the implementations of this tone, ethical appeals, and repetition of purposeful phrases. Wallace’s informal or low diction is shown through the use of words such as, “finger wagging,” “bullshit,” and, “god-damn people.” The effect of these words is the creation of a laid back, personable tone that ensures the audience does not feel like Wallace is “preaching” to them or giving them “moral advice.”

The ponderous, mythical opening of visionary auteur Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar-winning film The Shape of Water gently guides us into its unique blend of horror and romance, surrounded by the same magic del Toro effortlessly captured in its spiritual predecessor, Pan’s Labyrinth from 2006. In the age of superhero blockbusters, endless sequels and reboots, del Toro’s sensual adult fantasy manages to make its voice heard amidst the cacophony of studio demands and creative restriction. Set during the height of the Cold War in Baltimore 1962, the film follows the journey of mute custodian Elisa Esposito (played with aplomb by Sally Hawkins), who works at a high-security government research facility, and a amphibious humanoid creature captured from South America. Elisa proves that vulnerability is not a sign of weakness, that she doesn 't need to hide her identity under cynical facades; there is a nuanced strength at
