And then the narrator gets a drive to “fix” his brother so that he won’t be ashamed

My book The Moves That Make The Man, was set in North Carolina. During this time the civil rights movement was in full swing. The two main characters Braxton Rivers and Jerome Foxworthy are best friends. In the book, they become better friends every page turn. My project is a basketball with tape and symbols/pictures on it. My project is extremely symbolic tho it doesn’t look like much.

Samael's eyes too filled with tears, but they weren't tears of sadness or even pain, but of joy. He smiled widely, a trembling hand lifting to gently caress Amaimon's cheek, brushing away his own tears. He knew it must have surprised his brother, especially considering the way he cried so suddenly. He could see an immeasurable amount of guilt in his mate's gaze and he knew it tore him asunder. It hurt, it did, but it didn't matter, being with Amaimon like this mattered. Over The last few months together Samael had learned once again how to read his brother's emotions easily and he knew just by looking up at him and that guilt that just as he had the earth King had imagined this. He'd thought of this too, but slower, gently, just like the time

(Beah 126) Beah was stripped of his past and forced into a military family, destroying his childhood. Throughout his life he lost family members and friends to the battles in Sierra Leone. “‘[Your parents] stayed in that house,” Gasemu said to me as he pointed toward one of the charred houses… Without any fear I went inside and looked around the smoke filled rooms.

In the beginning, Beah states that he was first, “touched by war at the age of 12” (Beah 6). This leads Beah and his brother Junior to take refuge to neighboring villages to further extend their chances of not being captured from the barbarous rebel army, RUF (Revolutionary United Front). While traveling to various villages and having to escape from the rebel army, Beah’s flashback to his Brother Junior’s stone skipping lesson allows the reader to understand how much Junior cares for his little brother, “Junior gave me his bucket, took my empty one, and returned to the river, when he came home, the first thing he did was ask me if I was hurt from falling” (Beah 39). This memory is brought to remembrance to comfort and console Beah when traveling with Junior, and call upon happier times with his brother to try and take his mind off the war. Further in the story, a village Beah and his brother Junior were taken refuge in

“Hero” an arbitrary term, some are very obvious and legitimate ones such as Martin Luther King Jr. or Mahatma Gandhi. Other’s will take a more personal route, saying their mom, dad, grandmother is a hero. Then, there are those who’ll look to music for heroes, and that is where Andrew Biersack comes into play. The lead singer of a small rock band called, “Black Veil Brides” with an obsession with Batman, would never seem to be a hero at a short glance, but who’s to say that someone can or can’t be a hero? Beowulf and Biersack share the cultural value of perseverance, qualifying them as heroes. Individually they have other values such as courage and guardianship.

Beah lost his entire family all over again when coming so close to seeing his family and losing such important part of himself. Beah and friends finally found the place where Beah family had been staying. The group of boys had almost reached the village when the sound of gunshots exploded, and smoke started coming from the town, once entering the village it was too late because the rebels burnt the village to the ground and killed everyone. Beah stated that all he wanted to see his family, even if that meant dying with them. The event of losing his family had killed Beah emotions and connection with life. All that Beah had left was the friends that have been traveling with and the music cassettes. Even though Beah doesn't feel any happiness

Bromden's narrative at the very outset of the novel is decidedly paranoid: "I creep along the wall quiet as dust in my canvas shoes, but they got special sensitive equipment detects my fear and they all look up, all three at once, eyes glittering out of the black faces like the hard glitter of radio tubes out of the back of an old radio" (9). The reader must understand that this voice is delusional and what we read in the story should not necessarily be believed. Bromden suffers from nightmares that he believes are real, "A furnace got its mouth open somewhere, licks up somebody" (81). And he floats in and out of a debilitating fog, "They start the fog machine again and it's snowing down cold and white all over me like skim milk, so thick I might even be able to hide in it if they didn't have a hold on me" (13). Bromden is describing what he believes to be real: "He is insisting that answers to basic questions cannot hang upon so fragile a peg as 'fact'" (Hunt 15). The end of the first chapter says this very succinctly: "But it's the truth even if it didn't happen" (13).

Beah pieces his memories together in ways he can remember the past through flashbacks; “I lay in it, swinging slowly to get my thoughts in motion. I began to think about the times when I visited my grandmother and I would sleep in the hammock on the farm”

Ed Boden is an event planner at the Westin Galleria working close to the food and beverage department. Ed gave helpful advice on how to represent yourself to your clients to show how competent you are for the job. One important thing he emphasized on was to be confident in yourself when speaking to the clients. He gave us an example on the two different ways to approach people, one with intimidation and the other with assertiveness. These examples showed the impact people can make to their audience by how they carry themselves. I personally found this helpful because I feel that I lack confidence when I speak to people and him pointing that out made me realized I need to work on that.

Since without language thought is nearly impossible the party believes that by altering the language they can impose their untrue reality. They will be able to restrict it to the point that even a person’s thoughts are manipulated; things such as individualism and imagination will cease to exist. Which ultimately will give the Party total control over society. The newspeak engineer also goes on to state “ In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible because there will be no words in which to express it.” (55) This quote proves how vital control of language is to the party, it is the key to becoming a controlled state. By creating the element of Newspeak in 1984 Orwell is warning against the potential consequences of manipulating language to benefit people in power and how this can eventually lead to a totalitarian state.

Bronfenbrenner Analysis Name: Course: Tutor: Date: Urie Bronfenbrenner is today credited and known in the psychology development field for the development of the ecological systems theory constructed to offer an explanation of the way everything in a child and their environment affects the whole child development. Bronfenbrenner ecological theory has levels or aspects of the environment containing roles, norms, and rules defining child development namely the microsystem, the mesosystem, the exosytem, the macrosystem and the chronosystem. The subsequent discussion offers an analysis of these levels and their influence to child development, and then offers a personal analysis of the influence of the ecological theory in decision making.
