Speak . Melinda had a secret that she hasn't told anyone yet not even her parents. Melinda was
raped by this boy named Andy Evan who she met at her Ex– Best Friend Rachel's party.Melinda kept
this burden all freshman year until the towards the end. Many people in real life go through the same
things just like Melinda.
Melinda might have started high school like a normal teenage girl. However, after her experience,
she would no longer feel normal, but things would be different. After the first kiss with Andy, she
was excited about the thought of starting high school with a boyfriend. But, rather than a boyfriend,
she would enter high school having experienced rape. Because of being raped, she was depressed
and withdrawn and she also lost her friends. Melinda did not trust other boys, such as her lab
partner David, who was genuinely nice to her. She feared if she went out with another boy, she may
experience another rape situation. Instead of enjoying the company of girlfriends in high school, she
was alone. After calling the police, her girlfriends would no longer be friends with her....show more

Melinda was afraid to tell anyone about what happened because she didn't know how people
would react. Melinda is afraid about what Andy Evans might do if she did tell someone. There are
many ways Melinda is afraid to tell anyone. Melinda does not have the ability to call Andy by his
first name. For example on page 45, Melinda says "I see IT in the hallway. IT goes to Merryweather.
IT is walking with Aubrey Cheerleader. IT is my nightmare and I can't wake

Commentary On Immigration
As I read through this passage I scoured for words that constantly repeated themselves. After doing
so I looked for the one that kept going back to itself and displaying itself in different ways. On
page 363 I noticed this word appear for the first time in this reading, the word that I have chosen is
"Immigrants." The first paragraph speaks strictly about how much you are starting to see the foreign
immigration policy stepping itself up in america more and more over the years. The second
paragraph uses immigrant also but the second paragraph goes over whether it should be an easy
process for an immigrant to obtain citizenship. In the fourth paragraph the word comes back up
again this time the author writes about early year immigration conflicting

Social Commentary Essay
Social media platforms continue to be an online distraction and it increases communication barriers
on people's lives. It has a positive effect on young minds and a negative effect. The tv series Black
Mirror Season 3 Episode 1 "Nose–Dive" is an internet–based population where people rate you using
their cellular devices and live a non–genuine life so that the population will like you and they will
give you an acceptable rating. Technology such as phones can have a positive impact on others, but

Lacie and her desire to be well–known and how she proceeds in taking this great opportunity help
build an understanding of these warnings.
Having a wide amount of recognition on social media can have its consequences. When Lacie
approaches the ground staff at the airport, the woman says that Lacie's flight is canceled, but there
is another standby flight only reserved for members of the Prime Flight Programme, which Lacie
does not qualify for because her rating is a 4.183. Lacie begins to get frustrated and accidentally
uses profanity. Lacie has never used profanity before because of her reputation online. People

arrives at Naomi's wedding, even though Naomi said not to come because "It was numbers for
both of us" (00:47:17) meaning it is only numbers for Naomi and she did not want a 2.8 ruining her
wedding. Lacie performs her messy speech, covered in mud, using profanity once again, and
physically threatens to hurt Naomi's husband. During that situation, Lacie begins to stray away from
her artificial attitude and draws closer to her true self, which everyone disliked and proceeds to rate

Commentary On The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby
(adapted for the stage by Simon Levy)
Introduction
F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, The Great Gatsby is an impressive social commentary on many
themes such as power, money, greed, social status, and so on. The Great Gatsby is originally a
novel which has been adapted as a play by Simon Levy. I intend to look at the theoretical aspects of
this play and my major focus will be on the social stratification, inequality and gender roles in the
American life at that time. The story of the Great Gatsby falls into the timeline of the 1920s.
The Story
The story of the Great Gatsby is very interesting. It takes place in Long Island in America. A
mysterious man Jay Gatsby builds a mansion in West Egg (a fictional place in Long island). Jay
...show more content...
The Buchanans would never accept Gatsby as being in the same social status as them because the
Buchanans have had wealth and power in the family for generations and Gatsby had just acquired
the wealth. The Buchanans know that Gatsby comes from the lower class background and so
they think Gatsby's manner, behavior and taste can never match that of the Buchanans. Warner,
Meeker and Eels (2006) describe the concept of the American Dream as follows: "In the bright
glow and warm presence of the American Dream all men are born free and equal. Everyone in the
American Dream has the right, and often the duty, to try to succeed and to do his best to reach the
top". Warner, Meeker and Eells do consider this definition of American Dream contradictory though
as they state that "If all men are born equal, there can be no top level to strive for. No such equality,
neither in position nor in opportunity, exists and that a person's opportunities are very much
dependent on family background" (Warner, Meeker & Eells 2006). So, Gatsby's wealth still doesn't
let him enter the elite social class and this shows the inequality between the rich. During the play,
we can clearly see this when Daisy Buchanan is completely dazzled in the new found riches of Jay
Gatsby but later when Tom exposes Gatsby about his 'shady' businesses, Daisy's reaction is of shock
and she stops talking to Gatsby after that. For Daisy, just being wealthy is

Presentation Commentary Essay
"There are two secrets to making a good presentation: preparation and practice" (p.6) this from Hindle
(1998) gives clear instruction on to how best go about starting a presentation. First the subject matter
must be refined, the purpose of the presentation decided and the tone set. From this point it is easier
to start gathering materials, the sources will be dictated by the type of presentation being given. If
the presentation is lighter in nature it would be acceptable to gather information from a similarly
informal source such as the internet. However if the presentation is more formal and intended to be
informative rather than entertaining, sources must be thoroughly researched and gathered from
reputable publications. Whilst it is...show more content...
Many may be unable to identify the differences offhand but the written word passed off as spoken
will jar to an audience who may then disengage from a presentation that sounds stilted and
impersonal. The spoken word allows for colloquialisms, words which under the under the usual
grammatical restraints would be frowned upon, become acceptable, even preferable as they bring
the presenter closer to their audience. It implies that the speaker is not reading off a script but
actually talking to the audience. It creates the illusion that they are participating in a conversation
rather than being talked at, which may cause them to become detached from the speaker. A more
relaxed conversational tone builds rapport and will go a long way towards maintaining the attention
of the room. When reading written text the reader is able to go at their own pace, look up certain
words or re–read a sentence. When listening to spoken word this is not possible. As Jay and Jay
(2004) point out, "...for writing for that sort of communication you have to think in new ways about
clarity and lucidity: in a presentation you not only have to present all the relevant information
clearly, you also have to present it in the best order for instant assimilation (p.41)." A good
presentation is one which fulfils its brief, whether that be to entertain, inform or persuade. There are
many different ways in which these objectives can be achieved but

Matthew Henry Commentary
In our lecture for this unit, the speaker lays out several helpful guidlines for interpreting works
written in the genre of historical narrative. The final point on this topic (#6) was: "Lean on the
experts"
The lecturer made the case that by reading and studying the interpretations of experienced
interpreters, we could grow as interpreters ourselves. While I have absolutely no problem with
consulting the commentaries, books, and teachings of spiritually minded individuals to help us
become better readers of God's word, I think that it is also possible for someone to lean on these
resources too much.
I remember a time in my life when I was more excited to read from my Matthew Henry commentary
than I was to read my own Bible! When it came

Commentary Sample
Module # 5
C. Commentary: Discuss the central issue addressed in each reading. Explain the relationship among
the different perspectives taken on developing reading competence in each of the readings. What
conclusions might be drawn about the challenges in facilitating literacy for urban and other
underserved students? What approaches might best serve the needs of these students?
Shanahan (2011) makes an excellent point that for each discipline there should be a different way of
ensuring that learning is taking place. Not all disciplines are the same, so their approaches should be
different as well. If students struggle with history they may also struggle with English if they are
taught the same way. Learning goals and strategies vary by class and so should teaching method and
delivery. The points in this article should be taken into consideration when teachers create lesson
plans.
Taylor (2003) et al. in this study investigated the effects of teaching on students' reading
achievement. If students are tested repeatedly via assessment and homework over the same topic
they will lose interest and momentum. Taylor makes a point of showing educators that higher order
thinking is necessary and more...show more content...
It is important to understand that there are many factors that can affect how students learn to read.
Schools and teachers are two factors that determine how students learn. Schools may not always
have the most up to date, or helpful resources to help this demographic of students. Teachers may
not always be prepared to help struggling students. Together these two factors enable the
achievement gap to be what it is. In order to alter the gap schools should first work on helping their
teachers and making sure that everyone is on the same

Personal Commentary On My Memoir
My memoir tells the story of two very excited teenagers going on a camping trip. These two teens
are me and my friend, Zach. During this trip, everything that could have gone wrong, does. The
story is told in a series of key events among that weekend that were just one disaster after another,
followed by optimistic attitudes, continuously searching for the positive in each situation. The
audience that I will be able to reach with this narrative is very broad. A younger audience will be
easy to appeal to because this is the age of adventure and making mistakes. In addition to this, an
older audience can be acknowledged because I believe one is never too old for adventure. That is
shown through the inclusion of the women that were the ones to...show more content...
I believe this was the best way to get my point across to my chosen audience. By writing it as a blog,
I was able to keep my scenes short and detailed so as to not bore the reader. I wrote about only the
most plot and moral enhancing parts of the trip by using a journal–like concept of small blurbs
within strong imagery and metaphors. This has the ability to make the reader feel as though they
were actually there through all the good, and the bad. The reader is capable of getting a better
understanding of the experience by being able to visualize it through the pictures, videos, and
imagery used to describe exactly how we felt. The images show just how beautiful the scenery
was and how secluded we were from everything, giving the audience a good visual of the situations
we were put through with no help from our phones or the internet. The most effective sections of
my blog were the inclusions of internal monologue. I really tried to remember exactly how I was
feeling and what I was thinking during each downfall in order to accurately portray it. The sharp
contrast between what I was thinking to myself versus how we physically kept being positive and
continuing our journey, shows the audience how it influenced our getaway. Just being willing to go
on, no matter how disappointed I was feeling at times, was the key decision that not only got us
through the difficult moments, but allowed us to have an amazing experience

Pride And Prejudice Commentary Analysis
Pride and Prejudice
First page Commentary
Pride and Prejudice is a masterpiece of irony and this becomes clear after reading just the first page.
The sarcastic take on society in the author's England, such as its focus on marriage and wealth makes
the book compelling and interesting.
Austen's style uses long and complex sentences that may need to be read more than once to be
completely understood, for instance the first sentence, "It is universally acknowledged, that a single
man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." This sentence sets the tone and
theme for the entire novel. First it is incredibly sarcastic, using words very strong words such as
"universally", "truth", and "must" when expressing an opinion of the...show more content...
Bennet's view of the situation. Finding Mrs. Bennet's and society's concerns silly and feels superior
to them, which is shown in her intelligent and witty diction, such as, "this truth is so well fixed in
the minds of the surrounding families" This seems to say that these families are so stupid to
completely believe this "truth". The novel is written in 3rd person but you can sense that the
narrator is also part of this world and has most likely faced the same pressure that the Bennet
daughters endure when it comes to marriage. This leads the narrator's perspective to be very
subjective and it is as though she is an invisible character that is quietly observing and judging the
Bennet's and their neighborhood displayed in the quote, " However little is known the feelings or
views of such a man...". This shows that even though the narrator should be all knowing, she only
knows what the characters know about "such a

Commentary On Patagonia's Argument
Thanks for posting this post. I'm undeniably frustrated with struggling to search out relevant and
brilliant commentary on this subject. Everybody now goes to the very far extremes to either drive
home their viewpoint that either: everyone else in the planet is wrong, or two that everyone but
them does not really understand the situation. Many thank you for your succinct, applicable insight.

Dee really happy with her family and their heritage. As I read this story, it reminded me of one of
my close friends. She has more of a bond with my family, than what she has with her's. She is into
sports, loves to dance, listen to all music, and talks until your ears fall off. While her family is
timid and not really into anything but themselves. She always think of herself as the black sheep,
but I remind her that there is nothing wrong with her being different. No one will love you less if
you are just yourself, and if they do they aren't suppose to be in your life. In the story "Everyday

Most people don't like to hear or read anything from people on the outside looking in or should i
say from people who are not going through it. It is a much stronger meaning when you hear or
read something from the person the situation actually happened to. Mama stated, "When I looked
at her like that something hit me in the top of my head and ran down to the soles of my feet."
This feeling can only come from a person going through the situation. Mama was so upset with
Dee at this moment. She really just wants to make sure that Maggie is ok. Walker has the symbol
of a quilt to explain the heritage. Symbols can be multiple things. They can also mean different
things. A symbol is something you may think is a token. Mama stated, "They had been pieced by
Grandma Dee and then Big Dee and me had hung them on the quilt frames on the front porch and
quilted them." This shows that the quilt was something very important to mama. So, she definitely
did not want to give it to Dee who she knew would not appreciate it. she would rather give them to
Maggie because she know they would be will taken care of and

What I make of the reunion is that the mother was allowing herself to look through her daughter's
eyes and imagine herself in such a way that would make Dee proud of her even though it was far
from the real person she was.
The previous house had three rooms and was in a pasture and had burned down and the new house
was also in a pasture and had three rooms too. The new house has a shingle roof and holes cut out
for windows with rawhide holding up the shutters. Dee felt just the same about that house it was not

Winter Night
The story begins around five o'clock in the evening. Because it is the time of the day when it starts
to get dark outside. Felicia found this time of day fearful when the darkness began and she could

black and gloomy.

Felicia reminds her of a girl she once loved and lost and they both have dark hair and similar facial
features as well as same eye color. Another similarity is they both loved ballet.
The little girl asked to go to her lessons but her request was refused and she worried that her mother
would be spending well earned money on nothing if she could not

Commentary On Francie's 'Book'
Each 'Book' in this story represents and covers a specific period of time in each of the character's
lives.
I chose the passage from Book Two because it shows how Johnny and Katie met, and this is
important because they are the parents of the main characters, and this decision to 'follow their
hearts' changed both of their lives, and not necessarily for the better. This moment shaped the rest of
their lives and how they would have to struggle to live.
I chose the passage from Book One because it first introduced Francie's (the main character's) mother
and her family's lifestyle.
Book Two in this story revolves around how Francie's mother and father met, and shows how their
decisions have now changed their children's lives . In this passage,

The color ambiguity or duality of the color symbology mentioned above is progressively
demystified as we move through these pars as the author clearly shows that the linkage is with
lust and greed. The author then progresses to describe the others who seek the lady's attention.
The Captain who is supposed to be able to tell when danger approaches is also befuddled by the
charms on show by the lady and so is the unattractive flat eyed flat fish who even though too ugly
to be a real contender satisfies himself by looking at her from the distance. This list of men who
fall into her trap is further expounded with the description of the gallants who 'circle' and try to
make small talk ('fish pause so to nibble or tug) but all to no avail. By now we start seeing the
men and their antics as pathetic as it is pretty clear that the woman has already made up her mind.
The poem ends on a very blunt note. When the ice cream is being had the men are vying for the
woman based on their looks, character and the like while the rich magnate 'stayed to watch' During
this time money became temporarily inconsequential but at the end of the day when the ice cream
was finished, it is paid for by the rich man and the other men seeing this acknowledge defeat and
leave. The author has used a lot of caesura in this stanza to underline the point that after all the show

Commentary On Anne Frank
Anne Frank
When Anne Frank and her family had to go into hiding, her perspective had changed for her. In
her words while she is in hiding, she says "in spite of everything, I still believed that people are
really good at heart." So what I am going to be talking about today is that Anne still had some
kindness in her, but she had to try to be kind, another thing is that if you stay optimistic life can go
On to good things, and the last thing is that Anne Frank cares. All of the points that I was talking
about all led back to the statement "people are still really good at heart."
The first statement that I'm going to talk about is Anne Franks kindness. In the first quote that I
extracted from the poem is "I fell Fine" the Explanation for why Anne said that is the day after
they went into hiding, she did not fell, good she still wanted to help her dad hang up the curtains
so that no one could see them even though she did not feel good, she wanted to help out of
sympathy. The second quote that I extracted from the poem is "but I'll teach you" she said that as a
result of Peter not knowing how to dance so in the end she helped peter learn how to dance....show

The first excerpt states "it's a wonder that Miep has a life of her own" Anne Frank said that as a

"come dance with me" Anne says that because peter does not know how to dance, but even
though she does not have to teach peter she still does as a result of caring for him. The last
excerpt from the play states "how dreadful" when Dussel came into hiding he was a lonely old
man who had no life all he had was his dog and Anne wanted to help him as a result of caring for
him. In the end that is how Anne Frank was still caring for all of the hard

Commentary On The Declaration Of Independence
The video began in 1776 with the focus on George Washington as General as the Red Coats

of untrained country and city men compared to the British, who were the most powerful country
in the world. In July 4th, 1776 the Declaration of Independence was signed around the same time
over 400,000 British fleets made dock in Manhattan, New York. This was the biggest attack until 9

of this ship before and the diseases that spread amongst the men killed more than the actual

After a Death ,by Roo Borson
Roo Borson is a Canadian poet, she wrote "After a Death" in 1989.She was obviously affected by
the death of a loved one. This is the reason why the poem has been chosen, it express a lot of
feelings and the death of loved one is experienced of almost everyone. The picture of a "mourning
woman "on the title of the poem was picked to reveal the stage of the narrator at the time when the
poem was written. The title "After a Death" tells the rider to expect grief, this is obviously about a
man close to her, and the poem split the narrator life in two parts: before and after the death of the
loved one. The speaker seems to be unable to move on with her life, expressing hopeless with her
words. The theme of the poem is: grief. The theme" grief "is supported by the construction of the

Essay about Commentary on Persuasive Speeches
Commentary on Persuasive Speeches
In order to begin this piece of work we looked at persuasive speeches in our lessons. These
speeches were from famous people, such as Hitler and Tony Blair. However, my personal
inspiration came from a speech from Diana Princess Of Wales, entitled, 'Women and children with
aids.' This acted as a style model for my final piece and gave me the basis for my ideas. As well as
this it helped in my planning, as I could see which techniques were the most effective and how to
craft the piece for maximum effect.

The tone of the article is serious and reflective, however it is clear and to the point. This helps the
purpose of the piece come across more clearly. The intended effect on the audience is reached as it
stimulates the reader to reflect on themselves and other people, gently persuading the reader
unconsciously.
The structure of the article is clearly set out with a strong opening and ending. There is more
descriptive language in the middle of the article as well as facts and figures used to back up
statements. This makes the piece simple to read but effective at the same time. The lexis which is
used is more challenging for the selected audience, 'acknowledge, desperation, judgemental.' The
lexis would be much more simple compared to an article for a child.
The idea of helping the 'dark shadow of poverty fade' and 'reaching the light at the end of the tunnel'
are used as figurative language features. This was also used as emotive language to stimulate the
audience and their emotions.
The successful aspects of this article include the lexis, which I have chosen to complement the genre,
the shaping of the writing to the selected audience, as well as the purpose. The pictures help the
graphology of the article
