She is in charge of keeping everything neat and orderly. It also shows her relationship with George. He is more creative while she is more put together.

Stark contrast from his predecessor who encouraged division https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2293648 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2293648 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 14:01:53 -0500 Reference to all 3 presidents who attended.

Due to the stark contrasts between each paragraph, the article is a little hard to follow https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2266618 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2266618 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 15:02:42 -0500 The use of race in this movie is also used as evidence https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2266611 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2266611 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 15:00:30 -0500 Another piece of evidence https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2266607 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2266607 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 14:59:52 -0500 This is also another use of evidence of what sets this story apart https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2266603 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2266603 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 14:59:23 -0500 this is the first piece of evidence that she provides for her claim. She says that the creation of wakanda sets this story apart https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2266596 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2266596 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 14:58:33 -0500 The main claim of this review is this sentence https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2266584 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2266584 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 14:56:27 -0500 This movement was one of the brighter and yet darker moments in 2020. It is absolutely disheartening how many we have lost at the hands of the police. However I had never been so proud of a group of people in this country until this moment right here. BLM https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2259246 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2259246 Wed, 06 Jan 2021 08:50:23 -0500 What's most insane to me is that all of this devastation happened in just one month of 2020. It however would be surpassed in the following months. What a terrible year! https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2259235 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2259235 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 15:03:51 -0500 Honestly this year was so devastating I almost forgot about this event but it was truly a wake up call to how urgent climate change is. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2259229 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2259229 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 15:00:50 -0500 This is an example of diction. He decides to describe the burmese people as beasts rather than people to show how terrible they were to him. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2221768 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2221768 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 14:58:29 -0500 There is quite a bit of juxtaposition in this sentence. It shows how conflicted he is feeling about his position in Imperialism https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2221763 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2221763 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 14:56:15 -0500 He understands the amount of irony that comes along with his position but he uses a qualifier to clarify that despite that he still hates his job. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2221739 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2221739 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 14:51:00 -0500 He provides this level of detail to enhance the reader's understanding of the event. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2221729 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2221729 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 14:47:33 -0500 This is an example of tone. He is using descriptors to set the scene and show the hatred of the burmese people towards them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2221680 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2221680 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 14:44:21 -0500 There is quite a bit of irony here because he is an officer sent from britain to Burma to help with their cause of imperialism and yet he hates it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2221655 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2221655 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 14:38:28 -0500 Its not that newspeak would stop people from thinking. It would stop people from expressing their thoughts. People would still feel their emotions and have their thoughts but they just won't be able to communicate them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243212?scroll_to=2213100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243212?scroll_to=2213100 Tue, 24 Nov 2020 15:48:51 -0500 Actually, if we go by popular vote, candidates will have to campaign everywhere rather than just swing states because each vote matters. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235949?scroll_to=2137136 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235949?scroll_to=2137136 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 12:34:53 -0400 Having a representative government is what the founding fathers intended, not having a slow one. They would most likely prefer that over a system that gives a small portion of the population an abundant amount of power. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235949?scroll_to=2137129 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235949?scroll_to=2137129 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 12:33:27 -0400 While this is true, States so not need to be involved in a federal issue. Selecting the president has nothing to do with the state so why have state interference. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235949?scroll_to=2137114 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235949?scroll_to=2137114 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 12:30:11 -0400 Ya I feel like this entire article seems anti-change rather than pro- doing it the right way. Having technology at our fingertips is an amazing innovation that shouldn't always be looked at as a negative. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131706 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131706 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 14:43:57 -0400 That is exactly what I think. I think most peoples escape is their room. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131697 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131697 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 14:42:12 -0400 She answered this in a previous paragraph. Teens keep their phones near them because that is their alarm clock in most cases. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131687 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131687 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 14:40:50 -0400 I think that it is interesting that she brings this up and later draws the wrong conclusion from it. Its not that teens don't want to be away from their parents but rather that our parents don't trust us our the world. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131667 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131667 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 14:30:25 -0500 She is making this claim but has little support. I think that yes teens may be more reluctant to leave their houses but I think that it may be because of things such as parental permissions or homework and so on. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131655 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131655 She does mention this later on but dismisses it almost immediately which isn't right. I think that there is a possibility that the reason teens are more reliant on their phones may be because of external factors and not the other way around. Wed, 14 Oct 2020 23:42:37 -0400
