1. The title of the article itself straight away emphasises on the fact how immature the explorers were‚ by calling them boys and showing how their childishness inevitably affects the reader – “taxpayer get’s rescue bill” – which straight away arouses a negative opinion towards the subject. The third paragraph uses a pattern of three to describe the forces involved: “the Royal Navy‚ the RAF and the British Coastguards”‚ implying that the rescue cost a lot of money and unnecessary trouble.

1. Page 16: “You can find money anywhere and everywhere. But the moment you have it‚ it runs right through your fingers.” ~Torvald a. This statement stands out to me‚ it reminds me of slim running through your hands‚ with money being the slim. This image would not be possible without the author’s word choir. He could have just said‚ “you spend money quickly‚” but he decided to add in an element of imagery to capture the audience. 2. Page 33: “However terrible I may actually feel‚ I want to prolong

Sugawara isn’t what you would call a responsible driver before he passed his driving assessment (which took him three whole times to pass by the way) Iwaizumi would often have to pick him up whenever they went on dates. He may seem like the reliable one in his group of friends‚ but really he’s just as wild. This lack of common sense on the road is one of Iwaizumi’s biggest worries.

1. During the translator’s notes‚ I thought it was interesting when it states that‚ “…translators frequently disagree among themselves as to what a given word or phrase could mean.” When I think about it‚ words in different languages can translate into different meanings and/or other words entirely. For example‚ in English when calling someone an ass‚ the animal representing that word is a donkey. While in Spanish‚ when calling someone an ass‚ it translates to an ox. It is interesting saying one

what he thinks. Page 14‚ paragraph 130 states‚ "It was as if he’d hidden this part of himself in order to decieve me‚ pretending-as do many people I’ve discovered-to be what he is not." This shows that Charlie now understands that not everybody is good and people will pretend to be someone they’re not to benefit themselves. However‚ a con of the operation is that Charlie is no longer able to communicate with others. When Charlie went out to eat with Miss Kinnian‚ the text stated‚ "I tried to avoid

1. "Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren’t so different. We saw the same sunset."-Chapter 3‚ Pg. 41 2. In my opinion this quote in question # 1 is the most important in the entire book. This quote is said by Ponyboy and Cherry Valance on multiple occasions. Many would argue that the quote Johnny makes in his deathbed is more important but that is simply not true. He says “Stay gold‚ Ponyboy. Stay gold..." his quote is also significant but it is a very close second to the quote

We drive to the courthouse and I remember all my time with Sangwoo. The good‚ the bad. Everyone tells me that he was horrible but they didn’t know the kind Sangwoo. They didn’t know Sangwoo bandaging up their wounds and hugging them. Lots of people. Lots of people crowding around us a man shoves a opening for us as we walk
