127 hours 1) Bizarre-strange, peculiar, funny very strange our out-of-place “Whoa. That was bizarre” Levity- the treatment of a serious matter with humour or lack of respect “I find some levity in the situation” Fascinated- attract the strong attention and interest of someone or something “Fascinated, I poke at the gash with the tool” Hallucinogenic-something (usually pain) produces hallucinations “My surroundings leave hallucinogenic trails“ 2) Imagery-“the light quality in the canyon bursts into the beige contrast” Personification-“Slowly I become aware of the cold stare oy my knife in my backpack” Onomatopoeia-“the soft thock-thock-thock tells me I have reached the end of this experiment” 3) The author wants us to respond to his experience …show more content…
5) The dinner with the Lav family was important to the Chan family because they are the only other family in their town that are their religion. Richard Hammond 1) “sun drifted towards the horizon enough to turn the light a gentle red” I think that Richard Hammond put that bit of text in so that his readers knew that he was aware of his surroundings when all the chaos of the crash was going about. 2) The information given about the jet car includes “the breaks came from a transit van” “the fuel pump came from a cement mixer” “…the steering wheel came from a robin reliant…”. I think the author included this information because he wanted to give us a background of the car and, to tell us that the car is not from a sports car dealership. 3) In my opinion I think the author put the times lapses in to show how fast an accident can really happen and, to basically show the reality of the accident . 4) Catastrophic-something has gone very wrong and, not as planned. Conscious-aware of what is going on around you and, you are able to think and see what is going on around
In video 1 of Go Back to Where You Came From, Darren Hassan (a businessman from Adelaide) is questioning his new host, Wasmi, about the reasons he did not have his documentation. Darren’s original stance was noted that all those coming in the country without documentation should be expatriated (12:38). Furthermore, he alludes that they are intentionally destroying their documents and that their reasons for doing so are immoral. The communication between the two men was dialogic. Wasmi shares that his documents were taken by force and had he refused to comply he would have been killed. He continues to explain that had he not left Iraq, he also would have likely been killed. “Dialogue requires that one know the ground from which one speaks, meet the
Jordan Peele’s Get Out presents the notion of racism and injustice through the guise of a horror movie. While elements of horror such as gore and fear are included and the movie leaves us on edge throughout, Peele uses satire to highlight racial tension and anxiety in society. The protagonist, Chris, who is a black male, travels with his white girlfriend Rose to visit her parents at their house. Throughout the movie, Chris is faced with many weird encounters involving Rose’s family, leading up to the climax where Chris realizes Rose has tricked him and has been the antagonist the whole time. Rose’s family attempts to conduct an operation that will give Jim, a family friend, control of Chris’ body, but Chris manages
Stephanie Kallos’ book Sing Them Home, is a tale woven with intricate patterns and amazing details. Her writing leaves the readers with many questions, and one question that it left me with, was whether or not the children would find evidence of their mother. On one hand, the children may find some evidence of their mother. This seems likely because of the fact that she had appeared in the book. Although she wasn’t necessarily alive, she seemed to be watching over her children on the on the day that their father dies.
Years ago, Calgon had a very successful ad campaign for bath products that featured the slogan “Calgon, take me away!” Many of us have humorously chanted that now ubiquitous catchphrase (and still do!) dreaming of our own island getaway. Reality check – In his delightful memoir, Alex Sheshunoff tells us that sometimes the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

Love You Forever is a classic heart-warming story by Robert Munsch built around a simple, but eternally meaningful commitment from a mother to a child to love him forever. Robert Munsch has become a world-renowned author of children’s books for his unique use of exaggerated expressions that produce sounds that are very appealing and fun for children. In Love You Forever Munsch uses words like “crazy” and “zoo” to add the effect of comedy but the overall theme of the story strikes chords that are much deeper than exaggerated expressions (Munsch np). Robert Munsch started Love you Forever as a song: “I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living my baby you’ll

“Get Off The Track” is a song written by Jesse Hutchinson, Jr. and alludes to the abolitionist movement. This song is full of symbolism, which can be seen through the music cover. The piece I will use in a gallery presentation representing “The Sectional Crisis in American Politics, 1848-1856”, from the primary source is "GET OFF THE TRACK!" A song for Emancipation, Sung by THE HUTCHINSONS, . . .. The music cover created from “Get Off The Track” has powerful meanings in each illustrated piece from the trains to the people to the churches. Seen in the cover are trains each with their own “names” which point to their meaning. The first part of the train seen is named the “Liberator” this is in relation to a popular antislavery newspaper out

Consciousness is your awakened state of mind in which you are cognizant of and are able to distinguish between realities while also being preemptive to one’s thoughts, emotions, and feelings through the establishment of the fundamental aspect of student-object relationships in which one is not only aware and mindful of his surroundings, but oneself as well at any given moment as the present renders sentiments of familiarity, presumably rectifying preconceived notions that consciousness is merely an illusion and is rather more so a universal force and a collective body of existence and self-realization.

When you associate words like shameless with everyday life you don’t think of it being a television show, one may think of shameless as a negative adjective used to describe a person showing a lack of shame, but it's a comedy/drama television show that really digs deep into real life scenarios and shows how a true dysfunctional family lives in the “hood” of Chicago. Shameless details how much leadership and mental stability Fiona Gallagher has to have in order to run a family of six in her early twenties.
