Forks: A Brief Summary Of Twilight

Coach Al Ulbrickson is the head coach of the Washington rowing team in the book "The Boys in the Boat" written by Daniel James Brown. Throughout the book, Coach Al shows many approaches to coaching that many disagree with. Many make the claim that pushing the boys to the point of pain and constantly moving them around boat seats is unnecessary and cruel. Many others also make the claim that rather than the coach being cruel, he is simply using strategic placement and discipline to help his team become better. Both arguments have valid evidence, but which claims stack up and make the most sense?

In May of 1992, actress and playwright Anna Deavere Smith was commissioned to write a one-woman performance piece about the experiences, feelings, and tensions that contributed to and were exacerbated by the 1992 Los Angeles riots.[1] For her work, Smith interviewed over 200 residents of Los Angeles during the time of the riot. Her script consists entirely of the actual words of members of the Los Angeles community as they reflect on their experiences surrounding the Los Angeles riots. As Smith described in the introduction to her play, Twilight, which she later published as a book, "I am first looking for the humanness inside the problems, or the crises."[2] She strived to maintain a wide variety of perspectives, interviewing people from all walks of life: white, black, Korean, Latino, poor, rich, police officers and gang members alike. Anna Deavere Smith 's play was widely received as a brilliant work of theater. One New York Times reviewer, David Richards, praised her performance saying, "She does people 's souls."[3] Anna Deavere Smith 's play Twilight helps illuminate the thoughts and feelings of many diverse perspectives behind the racial tensions, the perceived police brutality, and the lack of leadership for greatly needed urban renewal. Combined with historical research, Twilight provides a meaningful examination of the underlying causes of the Los Angeles riots. A longer historical view also reveals the larger class tensions and the massive fluctuation of ethnic

In all four works, Bella Swan in the protagonist. The story is centered around her life. All four books are written in her perspective. Meyer usually tends to write all her stories as first person narratives, including books that are not related to the Twilight Saga like The Host. When Meyer writes, she becomes completely engrossed in the characters. The main reason why she writes is because of the characters she creates. She envisions them in her brain. She talks to them all day, and they talk back. Coming up with the perfect names for the two main characters was a very tough process. She wanted a name that was popular decades ago, but at the same time, she wanted a name that was romantic for the vampire. Since Meyer grew up reading Charlotte Bronte and Jane Austen, she used the characters Mr. Ferrars and Mr. Rochester from their works as an inspiration; thus leading her to choose the name Edward.
