In the story, ”Gryphon,” by Charles Baxter, Tommy, a boy in the story, had sometimes defended Miss Ferenczi. I think Tommy defends Miss Ferenczi because he had interest in her and wanted to know about her more as a teacher. Miss Ferenczi told the students that she had seen an animal has its body half bird and half lion. While Tommy was going home on the bus, on line 413, Tommy said “She was strange.”. I think this has a part that meant Tommy started to have interest in her as a teacher because he felt something different from other teachers. Here are some reasons why I think that Tommy has interest in Miss Ferenczi and defended her. Why do you think Tommy had defended Miss Ferenczi?
Tommy believes in Miss Ferenczi's stories. On page 56 from line 404 to the end of the page, in the bus Carl and Tommy argued about Miss Ferenczi's stories. Carl said she was lying about all stories, but then Tommy defended Miss Ferenczi and said she was

On page 58 line line 456, the author used the phrase "hopping around and playpen to kiss her(his Mom)." And further on line 459 and 473, Tommy said "We had a substitute today, Miss Ferenczi, and I'd never seen her before, and she had all these stories and ideas and stuff." "She said that six times eight is sometimes sixty-eight." It shows that Tommy was so excited to talk about her of what she did, and he wanted an answer like an applause. Also on page 68 line 780~781, it says that Wayne went to the principal and informed what Miss Ferenczi had done. Later, Tommy knew she was gone, he thought he would not be able to see her anymore in his school years. On page 69 line 806~807,Tommy says "She was right! She told the truth!". Tommy was telling that she was right to Wayne and Tommy was worried a lot that he really needed to speak to the principal
In Charles Baxter’s short story “Gryphon” Tommy defends Mrs. Ferenczi, for two main reasons. First, she’s different than everyone else in five oaks; she makes things up about weird and interesting stories that aren't necessarily true. Tommy has never met anyone like her and enjoys having her around, and as the story unfolds, we see that the more intense and odd Mrs. Freneczi becomes, the greater lengths Tommy goes to defend her. (This is the second part of the prompt, which you haven’t addressed. If you added a bit more information from the text along these lines, your essay would be complete.
...hat she does not obliges to what she said to her daughter on about staring to other people. She stared and looked at the teacher twice, which would demonstration that the mother does not like something about her. “Her lips are quivering,” said the daughter showing that her mother had tremble when she was talking to her. They touch and press the lips as an old game but instead the mother put her hand down on her side that indicated it was not part of the old game it was different. The mother shoes as she walked down the hallway from her daughter and the teacher made a very loud sound. Singing and talking in the classroom as they walked towards the room was still not loud enough to take away her mother shoes walking down the hallway. Here the mother is showing emotions that she does not approve of the teacher as in her actions and having loud steps down the hallway.
Themes of hope, success, and wealth overpower The Great Gatsby, leaving the reader with a new way to look at the roaring twenties, showing that not everything was good in this era. F. Scott Fitzgerald creates the characters in this book to live and recreate past memories and relationships. This was evident with Gatsby and Daisy’s relationship, Tom and Daisy’s struggling marriage, and Gatsby expecting so much of Daisy and wanting her to be the person she once was. The theme of this novel is to acknowledge the past, but do not recreate and live in the past because then you will not be living in the present, taking advantage of new opportunities.
Ms. Ferenzci is an odd person, because she sits with Tommy’s class instead of sitting with other teachers, and ate unusual food. She said during math class that six times eleven is sixty eight.(pg.47, l.158-176.)
The green light symbolize the relationship between Gatsby and Daisy. It’s Gatsby dream, hope, and desire to reunite with Daisy. He tries everything in his power to see Daisy. What he mainly does is throw parties to see if Daisy would show up and when she doesn’t, he goes in his backyard to see the green light which is where Daisy and her husband Tom lives at every time. When Gatsby started talking to Daisy it was like he was a brand person. He tried everything in his power to make Daisy to go back with him. That was in the beginning of the story, with that to describe the green light in this situation with Gatsby it was like a rebirth for him and the start of a new life.
Throughout Elizabeth Winthrop’s short story, “The Golden Darters,” are symbols of how Emily, the main character, is growing up. The most obvious symbols are Emily piercing her ears, her father’s table where he works on the flies, and the golden darters.

Gliadins’ are mostly monomeric proteins with molecular weights between 28,000 and 55,000 and can be classified depending upon their different primary structures into the a/b-, y- and o-type. They can be found in wheat and in different other cereals within the grass genus Triticum (Wieser, 1996). For each type, the structural differences between them are small. This is because of the substitution, deletion and insertion of single amino acid residues (Weiser, 2007). These proteins contain unusually high amounts of glutamine and proline and have large regions of repetitive sequences. As most Gliadins’ are monomeric proteins which contain eight conserved cysteine residues, some contain an extra cysteine residue which allows them to be linked with other gluten proteins to form large polymers which are essential for flour quality (Altenbach et al, 2010).
The Midwest: land of TV news anchors, housewives, and dreary, never-ending fields. In her memoir “The Horizontal World”, Debra Marquart uses interesting rhetorical techniques to detail this vast, distinctly uninteresting plain. By using unusual figurative language, outside examples to solidify her points, and a geometric extended metaphor, she paints a picture of perhaps the most boring place on Earth.
However, Brennan is incorrect in that Cartwright solely blames the immigrants’ behavior for their predisposition to yellow fever. Brennan fails to consider the context around some of Cartwright’s claims that suggests the implication of New Orlean’s society. For example, while Cartwright chides the immigrants’ use of alcohol, he precedes this with the observation that “while the comforts of life … were shut against [the immigrants], the doors of more than a thousand grog shops were open day and night, tempting them into dissipation” (303). Thus, Cartwright attempts to explain the immigrants immoral behavior by highlighting their vulnerability and exaggerating the availability of supposedly corrupt practices like drinking. In doing so, he holds

In the crucible, I believe reputation and respect was interwoven in the term of the play the ‘‘crucible’’. Reputation and Respect can also be a theme or a thematic idea in the play, reputation is very essential in a town where social status is synonymously to ones competence to follow religious rules. Your standing is what enables you to live as one in a community where everyone is bound to rules and inevitable sequential instructions. Many characters for example, john proctor and reverend parris, base their action on the motive to protect their reputation which is only exclusive to them. People like reverend parris saw respect as what made them important or valuable in a town like Salem, this additionally imprinting to his character as a very conventional man.
The Crucible is an allegorical tragedy that depicts of the Salem Witch Hunt in which thousands of innocent people were accused, murdered, and changed forever due to the Salem community’s unrelenting fear of the unknown. Similarly, this occurred two months after the bombing at Pearl Harbor as President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, in which more than 127,000 Japanese-American citizens were forced to relocate from their homes as a result of America’s hysterical fear of this enemy. Fear and prejudice accusations, the victimizing of innocent people, and America’s reliance on the government to render justice and its inability to do so are three vital details of comparison between The Crucible and this historic event.
Sophie was a Polish women and a survivor of Auschwitz, a concentration camp established in Germany during the Holocaust in the early 1940s. In the novel we learn about her through her telling of her experiences, for instance, the murder of her husband and her father.
