Imagine You Are Inside Cheekbone Analysis
One passage that the author wrote that grabbed my attention was when he said "Imagine you are inside Phineas’s head, watching in extreme slow motion: See the pointy end of the rod enter under his left cheekbone, pass behind his left eye, through the front of his brain, and out the middle of his forehead just above the hairline. It takes a fraction of a fraction of a second for the iron rod to pass from cheekbone to forehead, through and through." This grabbed my attention because he is specifically explaining how the rod goes in his skull and how it comes out of his cheekbone. And I also liked this passage because he is writing it so u can get an image of how everything happens. This passage got my attention because of the way he explains

    Pg. 177 The excellent exterior acoustics recorded his rushing steps and the quick rapping of his cane along the corridor and on the first steps of the marble stairway. Then these separate sounds collided into the general tumult of his body falling clumsily down the white marble stairs. This shows that Phineas was so angered that he rushed into the hallway and fell down the stairs. If Brinker had not set this whole confessional up this would have never happened.…

    There are many memories that may come to mind when the word adolescence is spoken. Some people recall times of enjoyable, innocent adventures, but for others the phrase “teenage years” holds horrific memories. For a section of the populace their “teen experiences” may be the most appalling time period, as they begin to undergo many changes. This concept of dark adolescence is present, not only in the real world, but in the literary world as well. For example, in the novel A Separate Peace where a friendship turned in the wrong direction and a deadly war, mark the moments of growing up. While some readers believe that Phineas (Finny) and Gene’s separate peace shows the innocence of youthful occurrences; a closer inquiry demonstrates that through mental illness and death , adolescence is a time of terror, thus showing a theme of the realization of reality.…

    Litotes are used by authors for multiple reasons: deliberate confusion, humorous irony, understatement, exposing biases, emphasis, or measured twists used to make the reader read deeper and work out what is really being said. For Fitzgerald the device helps to portray tone and mood with connections to different themes and symbols as well. In the beginning, by understating the sinister characteristics of the Eggs Fitzgerald is able to develop an ominous tone that entices the reader to read on. Near the middle he establishes more on setting with the description of Gatsby’s house, strengthening the question of his mysterious existence. In addition, the end features a look into Nick’s character with the use of an understatement. Litotes help to…

    *All page numbers listed first are for the paperback, Scribner books.* *All page numbers listed second are for the hardcover blue/gray books.* Chapter 1 ―Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven‘t had the advantages that you‘ve had‖ (1, 1). ―In consequence, I‘m inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores…Reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope. I am still a little afraid of missing something if I forget that, as my father snobbishly suggested, and I snobbishly repeat, a sense of the fundamental decencies is parceled out unequally at birth‖ (1-2, 1). ―All right…I‘m glad it‘s a girl. And I hope she‘ll be a fool – that‘s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool‖ (17, 17). ―He stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward – and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far way, that might have been the end of a dock‖ (21, 21-22). Chapter 2 ―This is a valley of ashes – a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air…the ash-gray men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud‖ (23, 23). ―But above the gray land and the spasms of bleak dust which drift endlessly over it, you perceive, after a moment, the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg‖ (23, ?). ―With the influence of the dress her personality had also undergone a change. The intense vitality that had been so remarkable in the garage was converted into impressive hauteur‖ (30, 30-31). ―Daisy was not a Catholic, and I was a little shocked at the elaborateness of the lie‖…

There are two main parameters that can be used to identify the individual in this case, namely forensic odontology and forensic anthropology. Forensic anthropology identifies human remains especially bones as they could locate and recover suspicious remains to help determine the age, sex, ancestry, stature and features of a decedent from the skeleton. For example, the sex of a person can be determined by studying the base of the skull, the forehead and the jaw. One very efficient method is facial reconstruction. As soon as information such as the race, age and gender are obtained by anthropologists, the artist glues pieces of plastic to the skull at 18-26 key points by using tissue thickness sample charts to identify the victim from the face.…
