To Kill Barry Hacker Analysis

John Cox is the author of To Kill a People and a professor at UNCC. Meeting John Cox was very exciting because I never met an author before. I can't believe he took the time to sit down with us, discuss his book, and answer our questions.

A short essay “ Guys vs. “Men” written by Dave Barry, presents Dave’s perception on the difference between “Guys” and “Men”. Dave presents his essay in a comical way that generalizes the “men” vs. “guys” and also gender biased generalization. Dave argues that men hold too much of responsibilities and many expectations in which guys do not and they live happier life. One of the methods he uses to support his argument is a comparison. Other method he uses is the description of how he views “men” vs. “guys” and gives his perspective. And the last method he uses to further his argument is the use of hyperbole, exaggeration through out the essay.

The instance I’m choosing is in “Enemies”. When Lee Strunk and Dave Jensen got into a fight about who took Jensen’s knife. Strunk’s nose was broken and through the rest of the week, Jensen was paranoid that Strunk was going to do something to him. “ Eventually, after a week of this, the strain began to create problems. Jensen couldn’t relax. Like fighting two different wars, he said. No safe ground: enemies everywhere. No front or rear. At night he had trouble sleeping - a skittish feeling- always on guard, hearing strange noises in the dark, imagining a grenade rolling into his foxhole or the tickle of a knife against his ear. The distinction between good and bad guys disappeared for him. Even in times of relative safety…” This is surreal because Jensen couldn't have forgotten the distinction between good and bad people, especially not with Alpha Company.

Dave Barry, a humorous author writes “Guys vs Men” to try to enlighten the term “man”. He focuses on certain aspects that separate guys and men to separate stereotypical characteristics. Barry entertains readers as he uses funny comparisons, analogies, and entertaining punch lines to support his what he thinks the distinct differences between guys and men really are. Barry argues the idea that “man”, is a term that comes with responsibility and unwritten expectations for guys. The intent is to stress that there is another way to look at males, perhaps not characterize as characteristically masculine, but just as a “guy”.

She recruits a reluctant psychic named Serenity, and a private detective named Virgil, who’s also an alcoholic. Together, they search for Alice, stumbling upon many surprising facts. They discover that Alice was cheating on her husband, Thomas with a man named Gideon. And they also find out that Grace, Gideon’s wife, committed suicide after she found out, which led to Nevvie killing Jenna is retaliation. Together, Serenity, Virgil, and Jenna search a variety of places for clues and leads. In the end, Serenity finds small bones in the elephant sanctuary, and she comes to the startling conclusion that it was Jenna who died the night that Alice disappeared. Most people couldn’t see Jenna or Virgil because they were spirits. Deceased people who couldn’t leave the physical world until they completed one last task. Alice was never dead; it was Jenna who died. But the ending proves that death isn’t the end. As long as you remember the person, they’ll always be alive in your

Lila suffers from a disorder called Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). This is a disorder caused by a traumatic event, in Lila’s case the trauma was the death of her son. The brain begins to create an alternate personality as a way to cope with the mental and emotional stress of the traumatic event. When someone suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder their version of reality changes, Lila experiences this when she kills some of the people in the film and she thinks that her alternate personality, Eve, was the one who killed them. One part of the film shows Lila figuring out that Eve does not exist, in that scene Lila confronts Eve and begins to tell herself that Eve is not real. Slowly Lila begins to repeat everything Eve says and almost

Despite the fact that “Black Hawk Down” is meant for an older audience, it can hold many good components for high school students. For instance, it helps students reflect on their morals and question themselves on how they would react to the situations these soldiers were put through. This would benefit them in the future by making wiser decisions when dealing with politics and help them with life choices. Allowing them to truly see what war is about and how it could affect other people, as well as themselves. “Black Hawk Down” also demonstrates how to learn from past mistakes that had been made and how to correct them. Although there are some disadvantages to showing this content to the Morongo Unified School District, yet there are many advantages as well. Such as, using the information given in these books inappropriately, however, these problems could be easily solved. Such as warning parents beforehand about reading this material in class, resulting parent’s feeling more at ease in knowing that the school came to them for permission to teaching their child these topics in school.

I’m proud of ‘Black Hawk Down’ because I think it told a provocative story and it was honest. It could have had more opportunity to tell both sides of the story, but I’m still proud of it.” (Josh Hartnett). This quote overall proves that Black Hawk Down is a valuable book for teens since, it provides the truth of what happens during war and if you are not prepared and it provides advanced vocabulary terms. In the book Black Hawk Down there is a lot of advanced vocabulary, certain styles of language and a ton of military terms. During this essay I will be talking about how Black Hawk Down is valuable for the teens of Morongo unified School District. This story ties into academic, social and patriotic.

In this poem, ‘The Man He Killed’, the poet Thomas Hardy explores a complex theme, which is war, using the simplest language. Throughout this essay I will be discussing the thoughts and opinions Hardy has on war.

Daniel Orozco’s short story “Orientation” is a comedic type of piece written to make you feel like you’re the main character being led through this maze of rules and cubicles and employees, as well as their lives all at once. It’s not really clear who is the narrator in this story, but what is clear is that Orozco chose to tell the story through the eyes of the reader. The whole point of view takes us (the audience) for a ride and makes us a character. If it was written differently and not told the way it has, the story would have lost its humor and quirkiness. It’s a very interesting and different away to incorporate all these pieces of a puzzle that is the “Office Orientation” and

The main character of this story is Desmond Doss. Desmond Doss is a Conscientious Objector and he decided to join the Army to serve his country. But since he was a Conscientious Objector he promised to himself that he would never touch a gun. While in boot camp he was mistreated by his sergeant and fellow soldiers for his belief. He later trained to become a Combat medic to help his fellow soldiers because he did not want to carry a gun. Before he got deployed he met Dorthy were he got married to her before going to Japan. While over there they attacked the ridge of Okinawa known as Hacksaw Ridge. Most men that were deployed of there were killed trying to take the ridge to gain a foothold in Okinawa, Japan. He was most well known for his action upon the ridge. He saved over 75 lives while not touching a single gun. After he saved another man he would say “Please lord let me get one more.” He ended up gaining the respect and adoration of the men he served alongside. At the end of the movie he was awarded the first purple heart for a Consensus Objector. Also because of his work inspiring the other soldiers they were able to take the ridge.

There is a “golden line of rope that [joins]” Barry and Moira together, it’s stronger than the typical father daughter relationships, they share a bond and connection together that nobody can break. Barry loses his wife at a very young age and was left with his daughter Moira to raise on his own “he [Barry] had tried to compensate by providing unhesitating leadership for his daughter” which impacted the formation of Moira’s identity. The role of a father is important as is the role of a mother, Barry somehow tries to play both parts which is a difficult. Barry’s hope is that Moira will stay as his little girl forever and therefore, decided to stay at the local college instead of living her dream and moving a couple of hours away. Moira is a

What is socially appropriate? How or more so who decides what is appropriate? These questions have been asked, debated, and fought over since the dawn of civilization. The rhetor of the movie The Imitation Game integrates these questions into the true story of Alan Turing and the people around him. The rhetor allows these questions of appropriateness to be narrowed down to two very influential people in history to give these large, foundational questions a more personal touch, and for the audience to see the very personal consequence of society’s decision. Throughout the film the question of the appropriateness of differing sexual orientations, gender roles, and social norms are questioned by allowing the audience to see how these aspects have been judged in the past and the consequences of society’s decisions on a personal level.
