Character Awareness In Demitria Lunett's The After
In ¨In The After ¨by Demitria Lunetta the characters awareness contributes to the speaker's message that is don't judge a book by its cover.
For example the text states¨I turned quickly scanning the field...¨(420) Furthermore the author states¨ “No whispering...I sign¨(87)
This evidence portrays that amy is in a place where she always have to be aware. Furthermore when it says “No whispering ...I sign¨ (87)This means they have to be aware : know not to be talking because if they do they will die.

    Me Talk Pretty One Day Sedaris Summary

    Throughout Amy 's life her father relentlessly monitors her physical appearance with the "intensity of a pimp" (133), he believes that a woman 's physical beauty is her greatest asset. Amy is naturally a strong independent woman and in response to her father 's "vigilance and pressure" (133) she decides not to be angry with her father, but simply to get even. Amy is naturally beautiful and she pretends to have gained weight and wears make-up to appear as a battered woman in a magazine photo shoot. Amy also subjects her father to practical jokes attempting to make him look like a fool. Sedaris uses irony and sarcasm throughout this dark essay. Amy emerges as a complex and obscure character that endlessly manipulates her well-meaning father, thus the reader sympathizes greatly with him and not with…

    Blink Book Review Outline

    In this book, Gladwell brings light to judging a book by its cover. He takes note of how "our world requires that decisions be sourced and foot noted, and if we say how we feel, we must also be prepared to elaborate on why we feel that way". He then continues to explain how "we need to respect the fact that it is possible to know without knowing why we know and accept that--sometimes--we're better off that way".…

    Logan's Abuse In A Family

    I predict Amy wouldn’t have told anyone about Herb and that Logan’s dad will find peace with his untimely death. Amy did not want to believe that her own uncle could do this to her. She was scared that if she told someone that it would seem so real and possibly no one would believe her. When Hannah, Logan’s girlfriend, discovered the abuse she told the family and they did not want these things to be true because they didn’t want to think that type of evil was in their family. Amy is only nine years old and possibly did not understand what would have been the best was to deal with her situation. Herb found it easy to use her age and fidelity to her family to manipulate her so she wouldn’t tell. Amy found it hard to actually admit that she was abused, so she thought it best to not tell which was disastrous to her now and her future. If Logan never got inside of Hannah and Amy’s dreams, Amy would still be misstated and have an undesirable life.…

    Response to Nicholas Carr's "Is Google Making Us Stupid?"

    The kind of deep reading that a sequence of printed pages promotes is valuable not just for the knowledge we acquire from the author’s words but for the intellectual vibrations those words set off within our own minds. In the quiet spaces opened up by the sustained, undistracted reading of a book, or by any other act of contemplation, for that matter, we make our own associations, draw our own inferences and analogies, foster our own ideas.…
