It takes place in 1983 where he interviewed Cambodia children after the reign of Pol Pot. Pol Pot was the leader of Cambodia during the 1970s and he led 1.5 million Cambodians into death of starvation, execution, or being overworked. In another topic of journey, “The Third Bank of the River,” written by J.G. Rosa, is about a father who abandons

The Good of Human Nature “The Man in the Water”, by Roger Rosenblatt, tells a story of how a man gave his life to help four other strangers survive.

bring out the most amazing qualities in people. In the article, “The Man in the Water”, the author, Roger Rosenblatt, writes about the crash of Air Florida Flight 90 and the unknown man who saved many lives that day. Rosenblatt uses comparisons, quotations, and tone to show a contrast between the plane crash and the man in the water, belittling the crash and elevating the man to a heroic status. Rosenblatt uses multiple comparisons in the article to support his views on the crash. In fact, the first

In the essay We Are Free to Be You, Me, Stupid, and Dead by Roger Rosenblatt, Rosenblatt stands for, and defends an individual’s freedom of speech.
