The 5th Wave By Rick Yancey

“Where Worlds Collide” is an essay by Pico Iyer who talks about the expectations and reality of Los Angeles through the perspectives of travelers from different backgrounds. In “Where Worlds Collide,” Pico Iyer argues that even though Los Angeles is depicted as a vicinity to receive wealth, happiness, and many opportunities- it is actually the antithesis, and instead, many harsh prejudice and unending craziness will occur instead; Iyer argues this by using allusions, anaphoras, and juxtapositions to help convey what he is saying.

In the book, The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey, the unusual formatting it used intrigued me. The book goes around in different yet related points of view. As you go from point of view to point of view you find out more information about the situation going on. The book is about Earth in the midst of being taken over by aliens. It’s all very secretive and it’s brilliant how Yancy lets us in on the secret through dramatic irony. The points of view all revolve around the main character, Cassie, and you see the world through the eyes of the enemy and the people around her. This format also creates more suspense because it shows the reasoning for everything and helps sympathize with the antagonist. The separate points of view of everyone’s lives were

`The Wave, a book by Todd Strasser is a great example of how bad history is and how it  repeats. What started as a simple experiment got way out of hand, and what should have been fun turned into something serious. The book The Wave has a great story to tell with many characters and interactions.

The poem “Between the World and Me” by Richard Wright reanimates the horrible scene of a racial lynching and forces the reader to endure the victim's pain through the first person’s narrative voice. The poem contains structured lines and visual division into three stanzas. Moreover, there is one more type of division in the poem. The author uses an ellipsis four times throughout the poem. This punctuation mark frames the poem into the timeline, where the historical past of the African American poet becomes the present experience of any human, despite the race. The climax of the poem is presented in the middle of stanza two. The animated moment, which starts from the sentence “the ground gripped my feet”, dramatically shifts the

In the Waste Land are several themes, techniques, allusions, and characters that have been stated clearly by T.S. Elliot. However, the poem has also been interpreted differently and similar in certain aspects in the Waste Land by critics such as Cleanth Brooks, Jr. “The Waste Land: An Analysis”, F.R. Leavis “[The significance of the Modern Waste Land]”, Robert Langbaum “The Walking Dead” and Maud Ellmann “A Sphinx without a Secret.” From these critics is the ability to find key evidences on how each critic translates each of theses concepts like the meaning of exact lines, types of organization within the poem, the theme of death in life, the Hanged Man, allusions, and content (references that are used).

There are fifty-two weeks in a year. Of those fifty-two weeks, forty-seven are used for work and only five can be used to rest, relax, and recharge. What happens after those five weeks? The only thing left is to return to work at the same monotonous job as before. It seems like those five weeks should be used to their fullest extent, but they often are not. I have heard family members complain, countless times, that they do not want to use their paid time off. Whenever I ask why I either get a shrug or a slow “I do not know”. This has left me to ponder. As a student, I have always been able to feel and see the importance of breaks. A nice, long break can create time for me to rest and focus so that not even the minutest detail can get passed

Armed with sarcasm and a dry sense of humour, Cassie says everything we wished we had the guts to say. She is alone in the wilderness and is driven by a promise she made to her little brother Sammy and that is what makes her so effortless to like.The way that Cassie describes her family being torn apart made me hold back tears. She is strong-willed and emotionally loving. She is a girl who has had to grow up in order to stay alive. However, there are times when Cassie lets her guard down and you remember that she is just a teenager.
