Railhead By: Philip Reeve Zen Starling’s mom suffers from paranoid delusions, and each time her fears about persecution come to be too much for her to bear, the three packs up theirs few belongings and settles over a modern world. Zen catches the attention of Raven. He hires Zen to do his dirty work and steal a “Pyxis,”. He was promised to be paid in dirty money. Although Zen was right to assume that all was to good to be true. Although Zen has his troubles with his mother I wouldn’t move just because of some stupid fear of something not real. I would try to help my mom overcome that fear so that she can live peacefully and happy. Especially not to a place filled with poverty when we were already doing alright where we were. But while taking care of my mother i wouldn’t pay much attention to Raven because of how he asked things to be done and how sketchy it would

But what no one knows is how he does what he does and not get caught by the authorities or have consequences. He finds someone and looks into them and uses something that could help them to get them on board with his plan. I wouldn’t necessarily trust anyone without knowing that they wouldn’t turn on me even if i looked into the person they still aren’t worthy enough to have my trust. The amount of money that Raven was going to pay Zen was an easy fair so that he could just get him on board. But what he should have done to even more further his span and get more money was to do it himself. To trust someone with a job as simple as this but difficult to handle and not get caught isn't exactly say easy to the eye. When you want something done and you think you have a flawless plan It never amazes me that anyone would go through with their own plans, they always get some grunt to do the job that isn’t logical enough but is street
Even with all that is bad in the world, Dillon is still quick to trust. Unlike so many others, who automatically believe the worst about people, Dillon easily trusts a persons word. In the episode Potato Road Dillon gives Budge the benefit of the doubt even though he seems a little fishy. In the episode Robber Bride Groom, Dillon allows Jack and Laura, both of whom he had arrested, to leave town, because he trusted that they would do what is right. To support Dillons judgment, the listener is given no reason to consider that Jack and Laura wont live up to Dillons expectations. Even when others arent willing to trust people, Dillon is there to defend. For example, in The Liar from Blackhawk Dillon justifies his trust in the gunman traveling through town by saying: Hes a paid gunman, but Ive never known him to lie. In Dillons eyes everyone is innocent until proven guilty. This trust allows others to trust Dillon - if he has trust in you, why shouldnt you have trust in him.
He was the sherpa that led Peak, Sun-Jo, and Holly up the summit. Although Zopa seemed straightforward, he could be an enigma at times. Zopa never did anything without multiple reasons, but most of the time, those reasons were not evident. For example, it seemed like Zopa was helping Josh because they were good friends. It seemed like he wanted Sun-Jo to see what working as a sherpa was like for his father too. Later in the climax, it became obvious that Zopa had a plan, and he was motivated to make it work. His selfishness allowed Sun-Jo to summit Everest and descend down the other side into freedom. So although he had his own ideas, his intentions had always been
For my recitation I chose the poem, “Monstrance Man," by Ricardo Pau-Llosa. I selected this poem from the Poetry Out Loud archive because I liked the way it was structured and written. As I first skimmed the poem my understanding of it was shallow, but as I began to practice it I gained a deeper knowledge of its story and meaning. I realized the depth of the protagonist and how greatly I empathized with him. Specifically, I learned the definition of the term “Monstrance” and that
Traveling from her war-torn homeland in search of safety, and freedom, with only her mother’s comfort, such a long and anxious journey was a reality for young Ziba.
In the book the Homeless Bird by Gloria Whelan Mrs.Mehta and Mr.Mehta have different points of view on Kori’s education. On page 57 Mr.Mehta quoted, “Say nothing to your Sass, but come to me each evening when she is talking in the courtyard with the neighbor women. I’ll help you to learn to read and write.” From this quote, the reader is told that Mr.Mehta cares of Kori’s wishes to be educated. It can be inferred that Mr.Mehta thinks that Kori should be able to learn to read and write. On the other hand, when Kori’s Sass found out that she was learning to read she quoted, “It is no wonder she forgets her work,” she replied in anger on page 64. This quote shows another example of how Mrs.Mehta is different from Mr.Mehta because it shows that Mr.Mehta cares about Kori’s education and Mrs.Mehta does not.
"Go away! Go away! For heaven’s sake! That’s all right!" (1) Chopin opens her poetic novella, The Awakening, not with the dialogue of a character, but with the ramblings of a brash parrot. Immediately, Chopin compels her readers to ponder what significance, if any, these seemingly random words will have in the following tale. Yet, it is not until the final pages that we recognize the bird’s true importance and meaning. The parrot, though seldom referred to within the text, comes to symbolize Edna’s role in society and the woman she becomes as she is spiritually awakened.
Things have gotten too out of hand, and situations will get much worse. Ethically speaking, Zimbardo made the right call because if the experiment continues, it would have been detrimental to the prisoner’s psyche. Zimbardo explains the event that occurred by stating, “The power of this situation ran swiftly and deeply through most of those on this exploratory ship of human nature. Only a few were able to resist the situational temptations to yield to power and dominance while maintaining some semblance of morality and decency. Obviously, I was not among the noble class (171).” By saying this, Zimbardo is fully aware that he let things get out of hand too
"Why?" Juno's voice broke the silence it had been keeping. Her arms having latched on more to Adriel's resistant body. Her body wanted to burst out in an inferno of flames having this so close again but her brain was working twice or three times as hard to keep her cool in composer. But she knew he needed this.. like she needed his comfort on his birthday. The girl's face look at the man. Tears harvesting in his eyes and voice breaking with every word he took. He wanted to cry.... but didn't...maybe because of manly pride. Placing her forehead on his, Juno looked with her baby blues and slightly grin. "All immortals should just stay inside, read, and stare at walls for the rest of eternity."
Zimbardo wanted to answer questions like, what happens when you put good people in an evil place? Does humanity win over evil,
Zimbardo acts like an eye in the sky knowing what happens to everyone and the outside voice is neutral. Zimbardo does not have limit on what he saying, so this makes him the expert. The voice is more like to fill in the blanks and therefore it reverts the attention to Zimbardo as the voice of knowledge. The guard and the prisoner seem to have a lot to say but in reality they do not, Zimbardo does most of the speaking. They are both included for the emotional aspect of the experiment and make it seem more interesting. Zimbardo also expresses emotions but a lot less than the two emotional appeals and tries to keep a curiosity tone towards the part he explains how he should have not been playing a role in the prison. That’s where we have another logos attempt. He “should have of had a collage looking overseeing the experiment”. Someone who could have ended the experiment or if he was main researcher he should not have had role in

It explains how can good people become perpetrators of evil and commit dreadful crimes. In the book, Zimbardo highlighted three psychological truth. First is that the world full with both evil and good, the barrier between the two is absorbent, and angels and devils can switch. Zimbardo claims that the one easily switch from someone good to someone who can hardly recognize himself or herself. He suggest that the one must be watchful and be stronger that the circumstances. In military and especially during war, the have no time to watch himself and see the person that they are turning to because they think that this is their job and it is orders that they can not disobey. Zimbardo utter that when the one is believed that others will be responsible for his or her actions, the one believe that they can act incognito and thinking that they people who are suffering are not as important. According to Zimbardo the conditions of the situation is what influence personal
But in this battle I’ll give you a L so you can use it in ya language
The air is thick with smoke and people are running amok-- their screams echoing in my ears. I’m looking through the cracks of the trees, but a figure has appeared and seated himself in front of my view. Their face isn’t visible, but I can assume they’re not here to assist these helpless people; they’re devising a plan to harm them like a lion preying on zebras.
Sir Phillip Sidney's Sonnet # 47 from Astrophil and Stella The sonnet is a short concise form of writing and it takes a great mind to master it. By mastering it, I mean to be able to say so much in what seems like so little space. Sir Phillip Sidney comes as close to mastering it as anyone else in his time or any other does. As the opening line says, this is about a betrayal. Strangely enough, the last line of the sonnet ends with a word that is the very essence of betrayal. The sonnet ends with the word, lie. This would cause one to expect to get an explanation of the betrayal between the first and last lines. This appears to be a story of both love and betrayal. In the sonnet, it is love that betrays. The narrator opens the sonnet with a question to himself. He wants to know if he has betrayed his own liberty or his freedom. The next three lines of this quatrain use imagery of slavery. The narrator is struggling in knowing if he were born free or if he were born a slave to this love. He raises a question in the closing line of the quatrain, if anyone can handle the confines of love and the boundaries it seems to place on a person. The first quatrain uses such dark imagery that for Americans today brings up thoughts of the Civil War. The fact is, slavery as Americans today think of it was not around in Sidney's time. He wrote Astrophil and Stella around three hundred years before the Civil War. Also, the way Sidney lays out the first quatrain is peculiar. A single line that is not indented is placed, followed by a couplet that Sidney indents, which is then followed by the last line that is not indented. The same format is used in the next quatrain as well. In th...
