Quotation Assignment

Chapter 3

"Mr.Henri? I'll be up here again tomorrow, Mr.Henri. I'll be on my knees next time you see me, Mr.Henri." - page 23

2.) This quote characterizes Miss Emma, is shows Miss Emma's dedication to the well-being of Jefferson and her determination to his education before he is killed.
3.) This quotation indicates the conflict that Miss Emma is having with Mr.Henri about talking to the sheriff on her behalf and the conflict that she is having with coming to terms with Jefferson dying as "a hog."

Chapter 4

"I need to go someplace where I can feel I'm living." - page 29

 1.) This quotation relates to the desire to escape and displacement. Grant basically wants to leave behind the life that he is living now hence the theme, desire to escape. This could also relate to displacement because one could assume that Grant feels that he is not in the right place to live out his life.
5.) This quotation could in some ways symbolize the lack of freedom of a black person at this time because although he wants to leave he has an obligation to his students that he was given by white people. Although it symbolizes lack of freedom, it does not necessarily symbolize oppression.

Emily Dickinson Quotes

”Forever is composed of nows.” ~ There is nothing that really last forever so I take this quote to mean that ones perception of forever is simply composed of the present. “That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.” ~ This quote could possible refer to something being bitter sweet. The fact that something good has happened and one was able to gain that experience makes life sweet in sense because life is all about experiences. “If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.” ~ The feeling of a heartbreak is absolutely awful. I feel that by stopping someone’s heart from breaking Emily felt as if she’d be saving that person which allowed her life to not be in vain. “If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry.” ~ The purpose of a book is to engage the reader and leave an impact on that reader.

I Have a Dream

Martin Luther King's carefully crafted speech using pathos, repetition, and metaphors emphasizes his deeply rooted love and dedication to unalienable human rights. A rhetoric device commonly used by King in is 'I Have a Dream' speech was repetition. His use of repetition assist him in generating his points. An example of this would be his constant use of "One hundred years later."

This helps the listener to understand where King is coming from and relate to it.

Two Kinds

1.) Parents do pressure their children to achieve. I believe that this is so because the parents know the potential of their children and want the to be successful. 2. ) Children and their parents disagree upon things such as curfew, chores, relationships, and money. 3.) Personally, I believe that people can be anything that they want to be as long as they work hard enough to to achieve their dreams. 4.) I do not believe that all conflicts have a winner. If two people are arguing there are two sides of the argument, which could turn out any way. If the result of the argument is something that neither of the two people wanted then no one won the argument. 5.)The relationship I have with my parents differs greatly from the relationship that Chinese children have with their parents. My mother and father do expect nothing but the best from me, but they do not force me to do anything that I do not want to do.
