Chapter 3 & 4

Chapter 3:
Page 43: "I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby's house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were not invited - they went there."
Page 47: "This fella's a regular Belasco. It's a triumph. What thoroughness! What realism! Knew when to stop, too - didn't cut the pages. But what do you want? What do you expect?"
Page 49: " It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life....It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself."

 Page 52: "She had a fight with a man who says he's her husband...Most of the remaining women were now having fights with men said to be their husbands."
Page 57:  "I felt a haunting loneliness sometimes, and felt it in others - poor young clerk who loitered in front of windows waiting until it was time for a solitary restaurant dinner - young clerks in the dusk, wasting the most poignant moments of night and life."
 Page 59: " It takes two to make an accident."
  
Chapter 4:
 Page 61: "He's a bootlegger....One time he killed a man who found out that he was nephew to Von Hindenburg and second cousin to the devil."
 Page 68: "Filled with faces dead and gone. Filled with friends gone now forever. I can't forget so long as I live the night they shot Rosy Rosenthal there."
Page 71: "You're very polite, but I belong to another generation....You sit here and discuss your sports and your young ladies....As for me, I am fifty years old, and I won't impose myself on you any longer."
Page 77: " A phrase began to beat in my ears with a sort of heady excitement: 'There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy, and the tired.'"

KIng Henry Poetry


In this part of his speech King Henry V is revisiting the idea "We are enough". Through the use of listing: "Let him depart; his passport shall be made And crowns for convoy put into his purse"an the repetition of the idea of the brotherhood with the use of lexicon of company : "man's company, with us", King Henry V is emphasizing the idea that they have enough man to win the battle. He is calling the courageous ones to stay and fight for their country and the one who are scared to live because they are not needed or wanted: " We would not die in that man' company, That fears his fellowship to die with us".

SAAB advertisement


“An SUV with Attitude”. Just by taking a first look at the poster and at the slogan we understand the big idea, which is the uniqueness of the SAAB SUV; it is not an ordinary SUV it is an “SUV with attitude”.

“Born from jets”. This is the company’s slogan and it emphasizes the solidity of the materials used to build the SAAB cars. This slogan also relates to the history of their aircraft company that reinforces the idea of the unique solidity of the SAAB cars using a metaphor.

“Once you’ve built jets, you don’t build just another SUV” This sentence once again emphasizes the history of their aircraft company and also reinforce the idea of solidity of their SUV but the uniqueness of it.

The picture of the car attracts the attention. The car takes the whole space across the page; it is massive, it is not an ordinary SUV. There is also a contrast between the colors and a play with the lights, which make the SUV look bigger and more massive.

NIKE Essay Reflection

Ideas:
In terms of the general idea that we were suppose to discuss in our essays which cool and in what is the topic we chose is cool, I think I stayed on track and developed the idea of why was NIKE cool supported by many examples. I think that the presence of the theme of cool is clearly present all along my essay.

Organization:
In terms of the organization, I think my essay was pretty structured and clear. There was an evident separation of the paragraphs, we knew where each started and ended. I feel like I followed the proper essay format with an introduction, body paragraphs and conclusion and I also feel like I followed the body paragraph format with a hook, a statement, an example and a conclusion but I feel like I could have written a way better introduction to my essay, more structured and following more the format of a proper and formal introduction.

Holistic:
I believe that my paper would have been better and more efficient if I developed my ideas and also I used a more sophisticated language by increasing my vocabulary first but apart form that I think my grammar and spelling throughout my essay are fine. I think my example were sufficient and relevant. Overall I think that I could have done much better in writing first just by writing more paragraphs and second doing all the other things I listed above.

Advertising


This poster attracts attention because of the use of contrast in colors, use of the rhetorical question, the use of the rule of thirds the person is placed in the center and also the position of the text on the the second plan while the person is on the first plan. In this ad there is also the use of metaphor where the person illustrates the answer of the rhetorical question.
