My group members did a fair amount of research on their scene. Emily Edson and Renee had initially come up with the plot, however as the group began to form and Emily Heinemann joined our group we all contribute to the plot. Renee wrote the first scene that was the starting point for our act. She researched a Civil Right movement that was occurring in the 1960s. This includes protesting in Chicago in the 1960s for equal public schools. Renee used this research as the main point in her scene. While Emily Heinemann researched about the Vietnam war during the 1960s and used that information to write from Travis viewpoint in Vietnam. Emily Edson mainly researched how funerals were like in the 1960s to make sure the funeral scene was accurate. We
I created each section, following the requirements of the project, while adding in slides that would help further the understanding of the case. Moreover, I was in charge of allocating each member a part of the project and did so by starting a group chat, which I would check and regularly correspond with each member, helping them find information in both academic journals and online resources. For my specific part in the slides I focused on the controversial aspects of the case such as the guarantee of acquittal and stereotypes that may come about due to the branding of battered women and the use of expert testimony in which I focused on the charge to the jury and the usefulness of the expert. I used the textbook along with online resources and academic journals to understand both issues and to solidify a comprehensive anecdote on the topics. Finally I proof read each of the group member’s work and formatted it so each side looked the same and were appealing. I then compiled the sources used and put them into APA format in accordance with the schools citing
In William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily and Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper, the two main characters exhibit behavior that some readers may consider unusual or even totally crazy. These two women are having a difficult time adjusting to the many changes taking place around them. In the midst of these changes, they face the struggles of being women such as post partum depression and love and rejection from men. Such problems become so overbearing that each woman ends up in their own delusional world which in turn, leads to their isolation and insanity. Gender issues, love, hate, insanity and isolation, are thematic connections in both stories and are important components of how each woman functions throughout the story and how each character fares in the end.
When Emma Goldman is searched, there is usually one word associated with her. The word most commonly seen is Anarchism.

Goldman’s gave “Address to the Jury” because of her history and Anarchism, and she used the speech to share her point of views.
Throughout learning about all writing, the main achievement of any work or essay is to capture the audience and let them see any subject through the lens of what the author desires. To achieve this goal, one may use tools known as ethos, credibility of the author to the reader, logos, appeal to reasoning, and pathos, appeal to the audience 's emotions. A combination of all three of these elements creates an argument-like format which conveys a very convincing point, or thesis to the reader. Over practicing my writing my entire life I have always used these elements in my work, although, I was not aware completely of their proper usage. Throughout this year I have grown vastly as a writer through more precise control of and thesis with a linked analysis as well as consciously using the elements of pathos, logos, and ethos to most efficiently convey my thesis.
In the essay “Say Everything” written by Emily Nussbaum, the author presents the argument that young people in this generation do not have a sense of privacy and tend to post whatever they like on the internet. She presents 3 different ideas of what happens when young adults are on the internet.
The main character in the short story “A Rose for Emily” written by William Faulkner is Emily Grierson. She lives in Jefferson Mississippi, in a fictional county called Yoknapatawpha County. The people of Yoknapatawpha saw Miss Emily as "a small, fat woman" who was very cold, distant, and lived in her past. Her home "was a big, squarish frame house that had once been white, decorated with cupolas and spires and scrolled balconies in the heavily lightsome style of the seventies...”. She lived in a little community that was changing and becoming more modern unlike her house. Her house, as Faulkner describes, "...smelled of dust and disuse-a close, dank smell"; "it was furnished in heavy, leather-covered furniture". The look of Emily’s home bothered Emily’s community along with many other things about her. Emily has a "hereditary obligation upon the town". She is from a family of wealth that brought tradition to Yoknapatawpha County. When the town started making modern changes fitting into the next generation Emily became stubborn and showed this by refusing to pay taxes to her county. Emily repeats, "I have no taxes in Jefferson" four times before dismissing the deputation. Thomas Robert Argiro, the author of a critical essay called “Miss Emily After Dark” states that, “[Emily]… struggles with personal grief, a restricted social life, socio-economic decline, and romantic misfortune…” (par.2). Miss Emily is misunderstood by the townspeople and is resistant to the changes around her as well in her life.
What makes a story so fascinating? What draws people attention to read? The elements of setting, point of view and the characteristics of the character of the stories could make the story become more interesting for readers to read. There are a lot of comparison and contrast in the story “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner and “Why I lived at the P.O” by Eudora Welty. The similarities and differences that I will be discussing in this essay will be about the setting, point of view and the dominant characteristic of the protagonist. Even though the settings in both of the stories are similar, the differences in the point of view and character characteristic create a very different story. “A Rose for Emily” is told by a group people with each of their own ideas and a third person narrator, whereas in “Why I lived in the P.O” the story is told by a first person female narrator.
Emily Grierson, referred to as Miss Emily throughout the story, is the main character of 'A Rose for Emily,' written by William Faulkner. Emily is born to a proud, aristocratic family sometime during the Civil War; Miss Emily used to live with her father and servants, in a big decorated house. The Grierson Family considers themselves superior than other people of the town. According to Miss Emily's father none of the young boys were suitable for Miss Emily. Due to this attitude of Miss Emily's father, Miss Emily was not able to develop any real relationship with anyone else, but it was like her world revolved around her father.
Hello, My name Sarah Emma Edmonds, Emma Edmonds for short. I was the Union's spy, nurse, and solder. I was born December 1841, in New Brunswick, Canada. I lived on a small farm with four siblings and my parents Isaac Edmonds and Elizabeth Edmonds. My younger brother was always very sick so me and my sisters had to work in the field instead of him. As a child I became strong, brave, and tough.
Concerning the contextualization of A Rose of Family as a sign of the times of women at that point, where cultural norms of women lead to a life in domestication. The recognition of the rose here as it is carefully placed in the title of the piece as well bears significance to the physical rose and what it meant to the young women in the South during the 1800s (Kurtz 40). Roses are generally given as tokens of love and affection by males to females. There are even remnants of it today where young lads also profess their love to women with roses; women still see it as an act of endearment towards them.
To begin, Emily started her speech with an effective attention grabber. To be more specific, she asked the audience a question. The question was if any of us had ever heard the sound of a pager for a fire call during dinner with family. As she asked this question, the audience heard the sound of a pager for a fire call. Due to this, it was clear that she asked an interesting question and provided the audience with further evidence to engage the audience. The real audio file helped make it feel like the audience was really hearing the sound during a family dinner. The sound grabbed the audience’s attention by encouraging further listening when she spoke. In addition, the speaker related the topic to the audience members by reminding us of our own family dinners and real life situations that are possible to members of a firehouse family.
Emma as a character is at the same time very strong, but also she comes across as a bit of a know-it-all, and she acts as though she is superior to every other character in the novel. Emma allows status to interpret her feelings of people, and it affects how she treats them. It is quite obvious that Emma allows herself to mistreat people for her own purposes, whether it is for mere satisfaction, to prove a point, or perhaps it is just a subconscious task for her that is beyond her control until it is too late to be fixable.
Traditional ideations of film and documentaries have been to create scripts that are structures to fulfill a set idea. The challenge with scripting an idea is that the script writer(s) have a subjective view of the documentary. The vastness of documenting a situation is restricted by the script making it impossible for a documentary film to capture objective realism in their work.
In William Faulkner 's short story "A Rose for Emily", Faulkner brings attention to an elderly woman, Miss Emily in small-town Jefferson. Miss Emily was left with nothing but the house she had always lived in when her father passed away. With the death of her father, Emily 's life changes. The story is divided into five sections and begins with Miss Emily 's funeral, then switches over to talk about the new modern ideas and the requirements for Miss Emily. Miss Emily came from a wealthy family whom the colonel pardoned from paying their taxes. When new government officials came into office, they insisted Miss Emily pay her taxes, and she refused. This was not the only complaint townspeople had about Emily. The townspeople had multiple complaints about Miss
As a protagonist, Anna's complexity has raised questions about whether she is a heroine or an unsympathetic character, with the majority of criticism observing her relative lack of sympatico in her complexity (Reader Response, 2014, http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/english/melani/novel_19c/austen/index.html). In short, Emma is difficult to understand as a heroine, or her qualities as heroine are elusive due to her complexity, raising questions about Austen's intention in her depiction of Emma, and the meaning of the character of Emma's character arc.
