Book Review
Dave Pelzer's memoir "A Child Called It" describes the severe abuse he suffered as a child at the hands of his mentally ill and alcoholic mother. He vividly recounts being starved, tortured, and forced to consume hazardous chemicals. However, the book provides little context about his family dynamics and leaves many questions unanswered. It reads at a fifth grade level and some specific details seem exaggerated. While highlighting an important child abuse case, the lack of introspection and inconsistencies undermine the work as a memoir.

An Analysis of Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour"
Kate Chopin's short story "The Story of an Hour" explores how marriage can limit one's freedom, especially for women in the 19th century. When Mrs. Mallard learns of her husband's death, she initially feels joyful and free from her marriage. However, when she discovers he is still alive, the shock proves fatal for her weak heart. Through symbols of Mrs. Mallard's heart condition and an open window, as well as her independent nature and disappointment at her husband's return, the story shows how much she valued her freedom and independence outside of her marriage. The theme of marriage restricting one's liberty is conveyed through irony and the characters' differing perspectives on Mrs. Mallard's emotional state.
An Interview with Paul Grondahl of the Times Union
Grondahl became a staff writer at the Albany Times Union in 1984. He turned down an opportunity to search through actor Jack Nicholson's garbage cans for evidence of a relationship with co-star Meryl Streep, feeling it went against his morals and could get him into trouble. Grondahl's personal ethics in reporting involve treating people like family or friends, not just sources of information. However, years later he posed as a family member to gain access to a prison and report on a prisoner in solitary confinement, feeling guilty about pushing his ethics aside for a good story. Overall, Grondahl considers his ethics to involve caring for everyone he reports on and never putting lives in danger or crossing ethical boundaries

The document discusses different types of evidence and issues with each:
1. Eyewitness testimony is unreliable due to problems with perception and memory. Witnesses to the DC sniper shootings provided inconsistent descriptions.
2. Research studies can provide dependable evidence if conducted scientifically but results often contradict and are influenced by researcher bias. It is important to evaluate the quality of research sources and potential reasons for distortion.
3. Analogies as evidence require carefully checking the number and relevance of similarities between what is being compared. Extrapolating conclusions requires establishing strong, diverse similarities between the analogy and what it represents.

The matriarch Lena holds the money and hopes to fulfill her late husband's dream of moving to a better home, representing the migration of many black families to northern cities at the time in search of new opportunities.

This document discusses the concepts of dystopia and satire as they relate to the short story "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut. It defines satire as taking an illogical idea to its logical extreme to shock or horrify readers. Examples include Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" satirizing the treatment of Irish peasants. Dystopias also take ideas to an extreme, like eliminating differences and individuality, as seen in works like Brave New World and 1984 that reacted to totalitarian regimes. "Harrison Bergeron" is a dystopian satire that takes the ideas of enforcing total equality and eliminating competition, excellence and differences to their logical conclusion, portraying a repress

This document summarizes some major themes in Flannery O'Connor's short story "A Good Man Is Hard to Find". It discusses how the grandmother tries to assert power and value over the Misfit by labeling and renaming him. It also examines the theme of recognition, and how the grandmother only truly recognizes others and herself after the foundations of her identity are shattered. In the end, she dies with a childlike smile, in contrast to her earlier desire to be seen as "a lady" if found dead.

This document discusses mental habits that can act as obstacles to critical thinking. It identifies several common mental habits, such as overreliance on personal experiences, confirmation bias in information seeking, use of stereotypes, hasty generalizations from limited examples, availability heuristic, and wishful thinking. It also discusses familiar obstacles like groupthink, unwillingness to listen to others, and use of logical fallacies. Overcoming these obstacles requires awareness of them and a commitment to using critical thinking skills in all aspects of life.
What information is omitted
The document discusses identifying omitted information in persuasive texts. It defines significant omitted information as facts that shape an argument's reasoning. Detecting omitted information allows people to make stronger, informed decisions and see flaws in products or opinions. Arguments often omit information due to limitations of time, attention spans, knowledge, and attempts to deceive. Clues to identifying omitted information include missing definitions, perspectives, data sources, procedures for gathering facts, and incomplete data. The document encourages analyzing practice passages to identify omitted information.

Walter is happy after receiving an insurance payment, but his mood changes when Lindner, a representative from the neighborhood homeowners association, visits to ask the Younger family not to move in due to their race. This causes the family to unite against racism and changes Walter's view of manhood and the American Dream, leading him to support Beneatha's aspirations instead of chasing money.

- 1. “A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND” Final exam essay subject
- 2. O’CONNOR, FROM “THE FICTION WRITER AND HIS COUNTRY”: • “Writers who see by the light of their Christian faith will have, in these times, the sharpest eye for the grotesque. . . The novelist with Christian concerns will find in modern life distortions which are repugnant to him, and his problem will be to make these appear as distortions to an audience which is used to seeing them as natural. . . You have to make your vision apparent by shock – to the hard of hearing you shout, and for the almost-blind you draw large and startling figures.” – written in 1957 • O’Connor opens our eyes to the horror in ordinary people and events.
- 3. TYPICAL SOUTHERN AMERICAN FAMILY • In “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” O’Connor presents us with a typical family about to go on vacation. • What do we learn about each member of the family as we’re introduced to them in the story’s first half? How might we describe them? • They’re scary. • Warmth and love seem conspicuous by their absence from this family dynamic. This adds to the disturbing tone of their interactions.
- 4. POV CHARACTER: THE GRANDMOTHER • Freewrite over the first paragraph on p. 470. Take apart the dialogue and description. What do we learn? • A few key points: • 1) She has no name. Her only identity and purpose come from her position in the family. She’s defined by it. • 2) Her only power comes from her ability to persuade and/or manipulate. “She was seizing at every chance to change Bailey’s mind” (470) about where the family goes on vacation. We learn quickly that she has failed.
- 5. ALSO IN PARAGRAPH 1 • We get our first look at the Misfit, as the grandmother uses him to convince Bailey Florida isn’t the place to go. • He “calls himself” the Misfit (470), assuming control over his identity. • He is “aloose from the Federal Pen” (470). Literally, “Pen” is short for penitentiary, but a “pen” is also a place where animals are confined. Thus the Misfit is linked to the animal side of human nature. • The grandmother does not name his crimes, which makes readers feel more ill at ease than we would if she’d provided a description.
- 6. NAMES HAVE POWER • “In case of an accident, anyone seeing her dead on the highway would know at once that she was a lady” (471). • Not only is this a splendid quote, but it also indicates a major theme in the story: naming/labeling. • When we give something or someone a name, we’ve assumed some control over that thing or person’s identity (or so we imagine). The grandmother seeks to identify herself as a “lady” to cast herself as valuable in her own and the world’s eyes.
