My essay is about comparing and contrasting two stories. The first story is the quilt of a country. The second story is the immigrant contribution. The stories are both alike and different. The first similarity is both stories have to do with immigrants. “It tells us about different races.” the second similarity is both stories have to do with america. The third similarity is they both have to do with america's people. The story had some differences. In the first story the differences are that they only speak english. In the second story they speak many languages. In the first story they talk about 911. A very tragic day. In the second story they talk about industry. In story one they talk about a research center. In industry you can make a
American poets, novelists, and other writers often write about the topic of American identity. In this lesson, you have read excerpts from two texts, “Response to Executive Order 9066” by Dwight Okita, and “Mericans” by Sandra Cisneros. Determine a common theme that both authors establish about the topic. In response to the first sign of American identity I noticed by the sort of stories in the classifications of relatives in style tradition Americans names such as empty and uncle. The next thing I noticed relates to young American identity, regarding childhood. As a result of American culture a couple things that could be experienced and childhood during this period, the narrator tries to avoid falling victim of. For example, the grandmother
Lacking a wider variety of stories on any given topic can lead to dangerous misconceptions and casual racism. In her TED Talk, The Danger of a Single Story, Ms. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, award winning Nigerian novelist and public speaker, uses personal encounters with the effects of a single story to normalize her experiences with her audiences so that they may internalize them and act upon them easier. Ms. Adichie's use of pathos, as well as her comedic tone and understanding of who her audience is makes it significantly easier for her to accomplish the aforementioned goal.
Simply put, America is the land of opportunity. In the past, immigrants have left most of their family, memories, and familiarities with their homeland in search of a better life in America, where jobs were easy to find and the economy was booming. These immigrants formed almost the entire American population, a demographic anomaly in which people from nationalities separated by land and sea; these people come from countries separated by expansive distances can live within the same neighborhood. Both Anna Quindlen with her essay “A Quilt of a Country” and John F. Kennedy with his essay “The Immigrant Contribution” have documented the story of these immigrants and what they have done to contribute to the great country of the United States of America. Both authors have written in their own unique style which has changed the reader’s perspective of their accomplishments, contributions, and sense of community in their new nation. In the essays “A Quilt of a Country” by Anna Quindlen and “The Immigrant Contribution by John F. Kennedy, they show similar writing styles by both using the formal diction in their writing, and contradict in the way that Quindlen takes a more poetic approach in her writing, while Kennedy, being the President of the United States, uses more sophisticated dictions.
Although some stories are written by completely different authors, countless stories can and have shared similar themes and ideas. One example of two stories sharing similar themes and ideas is of the stories, Sticks and Salt and Growing up Hmong in Laos and America. In the story, Sticks and Salt, Phuoc Nguyen talks about his life growing up as a Vietnamese refugee in America. On the other hand, in the story, Growing up Hmong in Laos and America, Pa Xiong Gonzalo talks about her life growing up as a Hmong refugee growing up in America. Even though some stories may share similarities, there will always be differences—whether they are in the way the stories were written or in the stories itself. The two stories, Sticks and Salt and Growing up Hmong in Laos and America, share similarities when it pertains to the topic of being a refugee and to the topic of family while sharing differences when it pertains to the topic of marriage.

During the 1800’s it was very rare for women to marry for love. Most marriages were arranged for financial gain. When in a marriage during this time period, the husbands were given most of the control over the household, the children and their wives. According to the article “Histories: Women in the 1800’s,” It stated that all of a women’s possession’s belonged to her husband, this included earnings (if she worked) and her property. It wasn’t uncommon for women to be unhappy within their marriages because with a lack of voice in a marriage can lead anyone to a mental breakdown. In Kate Chopin’s “The story of an hour” and Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” both women felt trapped in their marriages. They both strived for freedom and independence.
The protagonists of both “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin and “Everything that Rises Must Converge” by Flannery O’Connor, perceive independence and freedom as happiness; unfortunately, neither protagonist is able to achieve this happiness, due to the ties that bind them to the people he or she loves most. Ultimately, these relationships hold them back from joy and fulfillment. In “The Story of an Hour,” Louise finds that she is confined by her husband. In “Everything that Rises Must Converge,” Julian is unable to separate from his mother, and so he is unable to achieve either freedom or happiness.
There are lots of great short stories out there, but in my opinion, both ‘Chemistry’ by Graham Swift and ‘The Landlady’ by Roald Dahl are two of the most unique and effective stories. They share both similarities and differences throughout. Comparing and contrasting the way the authors use their inimitable writing style to achieve their intentions in the story will give us more idea how these stories are alike and distinct.
When Henry returns, he has no desire to ride in the red convertible, no desire to wear the bright colored clothes he used to dawn-- instead Henry just liked to sit around and sob about the war. The quote from the middle of the story, speaking about the television, and how Henry just sat “in front of it, watching it, and that was the only time he

WRITING YOUR PERSONAL STATEMENT The EEOC will request the claimant to submit a formal statement or form and expound on their claim of discrimination. However, to really prove your claim consider writing your own personal statement and submit that also. When writing your statement use clear, concise words that accurately describe events. In addition, make a list of documents, called an appendix, and name and number all the exhibits or evidence that support your claim and written testimony.
How does the writer use language and structure to convey her opinions about The Danger of a Single Story?
The 2 short stories “The Life You May Save May Be Your Own” by Flannery O'Connor and “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury and the show Sons of Anarchy written by Kurt Sutter and the movie Descendants written by Josann McGibbon Sara Parriott shows that loneliness can cause reality to crumble.
Two stories. Both of which were written on the grounds of the controversial subject of abortion. Two stories. There is nearly an eighty year difference in publish dates. T. Coraghessan Boyle’s story—The Love of My Life—and Ernest Hemingway’s story—Hills like White Elephants—are both short stories about abortion. However, the stylistic techniques that both writers exhibit are entirely different. These two well-known authors both write entirely different from each other; moreover, some of the writing choices made would strike a disagreement between Boyle and Hemingway. Therefore, this begs the question: if Boyle were to revise Hemingway’s story, what would he modify? If this were to happen, Boyle would mainly
