Zaelith's Dialectical Journal

    In this chapter Steven woke up extra early for some reason in this interminable  world and slow walked to the basement to get some drum practice. When Jeffrey, his little brother, snuck up behind him. Jeffery asked for some moatmeal- oatmeal- also saying his parts hurt. Apparently he had been saying that for a while now. Steven and Jeffrey went to get the oatmeal and Jeffery sat on a stool. When Steven turned around Jeffery fell of the stool and hurt his nose. Jeffrey cried a lot. Their parents came down and interrogated them. Jeffery was sent to the emergency room, while Seven and his dad went to school and work.

The chapter continues with the two boys, Tom and Huck, carefully walking through the path. They walk past the kitchen, where they try to avoid Jim, Miss. Watson’s slave. Jim hears them and comes to investigate. The two boys are hiding, while Jim comes close to them, but doesn’t see them. Jim decides to stay in that position until he hears the noise again. While Huck is debating whether he should scratch his nose, Jim falls asleep. Tom tells Huck about Jim, that he is respected by the other slaves, for going against the devil. But Jim had begun to become cocky for seeing the devil and fighting the witches.

zany He threw a finger to the dead end of the corridor, where twenty-someting Jason Abbernathy proceeded with a smile, sliding a homburg over his gelled hair and urbanely clicked his door shut.

1. I would put myself in the place of the man on the horse he looks like he could be the leader, so the leader.

1.) The ending did not surprise me; I think it may have if we hadn’t discussed it in class. I think I would have been very surprised and confused, if I hadn’t known the ending prior to reading it.

One day on planet Zargon an unknown spaceship landed on the soft and bouncy crust of the planet. Eeku (ee-kuuu), the planets stern and honored ruler had just come back from an urgent mission on the planet lar225.

1.) With me and My Metaphors, I Tend to Give all of my characters Spirit Animals/Zodiac Selection specific to their personality.

In chapter 72, is based off of Ishmael and Queequeg working together to catch and slaughter the whale stubb as a team. Ishmael goes into great detail of how he and Queequeg are going to get this whale together and what process and steps they took in order of capturing the whale to be successful. Ishmael states “It was a humorously perilous business for both of us. For, before we proceed further, it must be said that the monkey-rope was fast at both ends; fast to Queequeg’s broad canvas belt, and fast to my narrow leather one. So that for better or for worse, we two, for the time, were wedded; and should poor Queequeg sink to rise no more, then both usage and honor demanded, that instead of cutting the cord, it should drag me down in his wake.

In chapter four and five, when the boys stole food from others that did not have much, I believe it must have been a very difficult decision for the boys. Especially, because they knew what it was like not to have food. I also believe that the boys were hesitant when stealing the food but they knew that if they did not, they may not survive. Because of the situation that the boys were in, I do not see stealing the food was unavoidable. On page 27, when Ishmael said, “We got hungrier day after day, to the point that our stomachs were hurting and our visions blurred at times.” shows that the boys lack of nutrition was beginning to impair their visions and beginning to bring pain to their stomachs. The conditions were very tough for everyone

Crane’s approach to writing about the war was fresh because, of the fact that we were basically inside the heads of one of the soldiers(henry). We could feel how he felt and we knew his fears. Besides that Crane was blunt about how disorganized the war was.

“Would it be scarier if I told you that I would kill you or just hurt you really bad?”

The underworld seemed to be getting colder and I couldn’t tell if it was because I’d fled the room that was lit or because Hades’s heart had been nearly ripped out. I was weeping pretty hard by now, feeling awfully betrayed and as lonely as my injurer. I felt my way around in the darkness for a while, thankful to the slight bluish glow that seemed to at least partially lighten ones way down in the underworld.

There are multiple details that stood out as particularly true to life in my view. One was the nariartator that it is telling the story/ his view point main character mentions what check out aisle number. It mentions how the three girls looked. The character payed attention to how the girl that seem to be the leader was walking saying “she came down a little hard on her heels, as if she didn’t walk in her bare feet much” this quote helps you picture how the person and might help picture what the girl was walking like. He gave details to where he was and what he was doing when the three girls was doing. He mentions that “I’m in the third check-out slot with my back to the door so that I didn’t see them until they had reach the bread” this helps the reader to set up an mental image of the store as they are reading.
