This is the evidence that proves Brian’s loneliness,” he had to spent nights alone, and hoped they would come for him” (pg.5).Although Brian hoped he would be rescued, his loneliness made him question if and when someone would come for him. Next, this evidence show how Brian was hungry which was,” but then the lake water filled his stomach which left him hungry“(pg.7).

impacted his life. Now, we will be talking about how Moon Shadow dealt with a life-changing moment because of his curiosity and fear of his father’s country.
When his father went away Moon Shadow felt curious based on page 20 paragraph 4 it states,” I was curious about the land of the golden mountains mainly because my father was there.” When Moon Shadow knew his father was gone he hoped that his mom would tell him one day about his past. Second, Moon Shadow has the fear of his dad's country that he moved to based on page 20 paragraph 1 it says that there was white demon which were dangerous and also lynched his grandfather, and that was Moon Shadows fear. Moon Shadow feared the white demon because he wanted his father to be safe. Although, Moon Shadow did not get to meet his father he was able to visualize him with the details his mother gave to him. This is how it was a life-changing moment for Moon
Shadow. Furthuremore, we will be explaining how Rachel had a life-changing moment because she experienced embarrassment and the ability to not speak up because of a sweater. In paragraph 19 page 47 she said that on her birthday she “was crying like if she was three”, because of that stupid clown sweater. When Rachel was in her classroom she wished her birthday was over because she was embarrassed. Second of all, on page 46 paragraph 10 she said, “That’s not don’t, you’re not ...not mine.” Shows that she is losing her courage to speak up. When Rachel didn’t speak up she caused herself to cry in front of the classroom because she accepted the sweater by not speaking. This shows how Rachel faced a life-changing moment on her birthday. All of this evidence from study sync’s stories show how all three of these character’s all faced a life-changing event that had a direct impact on their lives. Now you can see how Brian from Hatchet, Moon Shadow from Dragon wings, and Rachel from Eleven all faced life-changing experiences, because Brian was stranded on an island, Moon Shadow Was dealing with his father moving and not being there with him, and Rachel had to deal with all of her emotions. So if you had a life-changing
Sunrise Over Fallujah takes place in Iraq in 2001; during this time the US was at war with Iraq. This war was extremely harsh for many people, including Iraqis and American soldiers. There is a lot of historical evidence that appears in the novel. The social aspect is accurate because of the way the characters interacted with each other. The cultural aspect is authentic because of the weather they encountered, the food they ate, and the information about the area. The truthfulness of the intellectual side of characters is hard to determine because they are fictional characters but they experienced some psychological feelings similar to those of other military veterans. The information in Sunrise Over Fallujah is close to historically accurate.
As we progress though the novel, we a introduced to a variety of characters in the story like Rachel Turner

Good morning/ Afternoon Teacher I am Rachel Perkins And I was asked by The Australian Film Institute to be here to today to talk about my musical. My musical One Night The Moon which was the winner of the Australian Film Institute Award for Best Cinematography in a Non-Feature Film in 2001. I am also here to talk about how distinctive voices are used to show the experiences of others. The voices of Albert and Jim are two characters that give us two different perspectives this is due to their views. Albert one of the characters in my film is an Aboriginal character played by Kenton Pell who is hired by the police as a tracker. Albert is a very deeply spiritual person this gave him a spiritual voice throughout the play but when he get 's kick off the land and banned from the search the gets frustrated which gave him this really emotional voice. This event has a greater meaning which I will elaborate on later and now Onto Jim. Jim is your 1930s white Australian that owns a farm and is going through tough times because of the Great depression. Jim does not allow Albert to find his daughter, This is due to his racist and prejudiced views of black Australians. Jim has an authorial voice because he see’s himself as inferior. Near to the end of
Rachel Perkins hybrid musical drama One Night the Moon set in the 1930’s Australian outback and Malala Yousafzai’s ‘speech to the UN’ in 2013 were composed to raise awareness and reveal truths of multiple perspectives, representing the voice of the unheard and disempowered in juxtaposition to the dominant and powerful. Both Perkins and Yousafzai challenge societal expectations of their context, advocating for all voices to be heard and for the potential unity between cultures and races through education and shifts in paradigm.
Another instance of determination and ambition changing a life occurs when Dunstan is serving in the military. Having just wiped out a machine-gunner’s nest, he began the dangerous journey back to his own side. However, he is soon wounded in the leg by a stray piece of shrapnel. Quickly losing blood, and in copious amounts of pain, he continues the crawl towards his own side. A man with lesser motivation...
Presumably, complications start to revolve around the protagonist family. Additionally, readers learn that Rachel mother Nella left her biological father for another man who is abusive and arrogant. After,
While it may seem that society’s restrictions continually halt the way one progresses in life, the ability to defy the odds and overcome them truly defines a person’s courage. This fact is evident in the novel, All the Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr, where an orphan named Werner is continuously forced to participate in cruel Nazi practices because his enrollment in the Hitler Youth is the only way he is able to get the proper education to become an engineer. Similarly, in Keeping the Faith, directed by Edward Norton, a local rabbi named Jake is restricted from publically dating his childhood best friend, Anna because of the fact that she is not Jewish. First off, characters originally alter their views and behaviour due to their circumstances,
Junior sometimes had to go to bed hungry, but that wasn’t the worst thing about being in poverty. He made a diary entry stating, “Poverty= empty refrigerator+empty stomach. And sure sometimes my family misses a meal…and hey, in a weird way, being hungry makes food taste better (8).” This really puts the diary reader in his shoes about how many times he had to go without food and starve while trying to go to sleep, simply because his family couldn’t afford it. But to Junior, being hungry wasn’t necessarily that bad. What he felt was the worst thing about his poverty was that there was no money to save his beloved animal Oscar. Oscar became really ill and Junior wanted to take the animal to the doctor, but the family couldn’t afford it. When it came down to it, his father had to put the dog out of misery, and decided to shoot him. Visualizing someone having to shoot your best animal friend is heart wrenching. Most people have been in Juniors shoes where they have a sick animal, however they never imagine having to shoot it. This comparison of being hungry and losing an animal, shows Junior’s great strength at a young age about going through poverty, and sometimes even hope...
The play “A Raisin in the Sun” by Lorraine Hansberry has many interesting characters. In my opinion, the most fascinating character is Ruth because of her many emotions and captivating personality. She goes through extreme emotions in the play such as happiness, sadness, anger, stress, and confusion. Ruth is very independent, firm, kind, witty, and loving.
The author tugs on the reader’s heart strings more than once through this story. At the very beginning of the piece the reader feels empathetic towards the wife when she explains how her husband was good to her and their children. She is trying to prove to the reader that her husband was a good being and that whatever happened to him was not deserved. The reader also feels empathetic when the children are described as becoming fearful of their father. The father tries to blame the fear in his children on sleep-walking, but the reader knows that the children are genuinely afraid. As the piece progresses, more than likely the reader is feeling concern for the husband just as the wife is. The truth behind the story is foreshadowed rather early in the piece, but it is hard to pick out until the piece has been read all the way through. The wife mentions that whatever is wrong with her husband must be running through his blood because he always acts strangely in “the dark of the moon”. This phrase may not make sense at first, however in the next sentence it states “he gets up because he can’t sleep and goes out into the glaring sun…” (Guin,1982, p. 28). This shows that the family sleeps during daylight hours which is not so for most human families. From this the reader can conclude that this story is not about a human family but rather a different kind of family. As previously discussed, the truth is revealed through Guin’s use of imagery on page 28. The family is actually a family of werewolves. This means that the transformation that is occurring in the husband is from werewolf to human. After the husband was killed the wife was left in shock. She says that “[she] went up close because [she] thought if the thing was dead the spell, the curse, must be done, and [her] husband could come back-alive, or even dead, if [she] could only see him, [her] true love in his true form.” (Guin,1982,
In the saying of “Character is what you are in the dark” by Dwight Lyman Moody, can meaning many different things. One being, “you are most yourself when no one is watching”, another one also being, “dark and troubled times bring out a person's true nature”, and “your true nature is on the inside”. This quote can or cannot apply to the play of “Romeo and Juliet” by Shakespeare.

Seen during the page (37), McCandless was still found in well health. However, by August 18, 1992, McCandless was found dead in a bus where he left a note “S.O.S I NEED YOUR HELP. I AM INJURED, NEAR DEATH, AND TOO WEAK TO HIKE PUT OF HERE. I AM ALONE…” (198). Although the note stated that McCandless was injured, in which it would be the possible reason why he died young, people were not sure exactly how he died, yet the annotations found in McCandless journal states how he was starving for about the last two months of his life. Whether McCandless died by starvation, injury, or both, it is recognized by both the readers and author that he died in a slow painful way, however, the author describes the last picture McCandless took of himself. Krakauer states, “But if he pitied himself in those last difficult hours-because he was so young...alone…because his body betrayed him and his will had let him down-it is not apparent in the photograph. He is smiling in the picture…Chris McCandless was at peace, serene as a monk gone to God.” (199) The author first describes the profound pain that McCandless could have been suffering and follows how McCandless, although suffering, was happy and not disappointed with his outcome of his life. The way the author references to the last picture and profoundly explains what the character could have been feeling and showing in the image, is a way the author, Krakauer, presents his argument, of living life with no
