...they are different in terms on how they are portrayed. The old man who is an angel, was portrayed as an ugly old man who doesn’t even resemble an angel. We can see this in paragraph 2, “He was dressed like a rag picker. There were only a few faded hairs left on his bald skull and very few teeth in his mouth…” While Esteban who is a only a dead guy was portrayed as a good looking guy. We can see this in paragraph 4, “Not only was he the tallest and strongest, most virile, and best built man they had ever seen, but even though they were looking at him there was no room for him in their imagination”. They also have different effects on the story. The old man, has a positive effect on the story. Since he appeared in the story, Pelayo’s family got lucky. Several events can prove this, in paragraph 4, “the child woke up without a fever and with a desire to eat” and in paragraph 11, “with the money they saved they built a two-story mansion…” On the other hand, Esteban has quite a negative effect in the story. Since he appeared in the story, the women started comparing their husbands to him and because of this the women started to view their husbands as weak. This event can be seen in paragraph 4, “They secretly compared him to their own men…” In terms of irony, the old man, even though he is an angel a supernatural being, was portrayed as an ugly old man who doesn’t even resemble an angel. We can see this in paragraph 2, “He was dressed like a rag picker. There were...

Many years passed and Celine got married to a wizard named Sammy, they had two beautiful daughters named Angel and Sarah.

It last for four weeks then six months poor Celine was bed risen. Not long after Celine had a vision but sadly she couldn’t tell anyone so she found some paper and wrote it down: The prophecy said that two girls born to become Queen’s will come to the palace and defeat the wicked ice beast; they shall be trained by a young man for two months after those two months are up the time will come that they shall defeat the wicked ice beast and they will be crowned Queens of the underworld palace. The oldest shall be name Angel and the other Sarah they are my own so they shall consist of the power I have both from myself and Sammy.

When they both become Queens they shall each marry one of our kind and shall be honored throughout the underworld palace. After Celine finished writing down her vision she passed...

...certain emotions. While reading this story you’ll feel sad , happy , mad , then happy again and then mad. This book is a roller coaster full of emotions, she takes you on a journey of the lives of Gerald and Angel. Another thing about Sharon is she never really goes into much details on certain situations in the story but she says enough for you to get the picture. Like when she described the “touching game” Jordan used to play with Angel. He would say touching is good telling is bad , or when he used to come into room late at night and supposedly “tucked her in” Gerald would always find Angel after Jordan would leave her room in the corner crying her eyes out. She’s pretty much telling you what this man was doing to her without telling you what he was doing. That’s why her books are so good , she likes to leave you with just enough information to get what she...

...Journal Entry 1 Word Count: 1,516 ENG1001 Professor Gabiger In a literature class, one is bound to read a number of short stories that can be compared and contrasted. I’ve found that many of the authors that we’ve been reading during the term, use similar themes in their stories. Even though it was a hard decision, in this case, I chose to compare William Faulkner’s “A Rose For Emily”, a story of and “A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings” written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I chose these two stories because they have similar themes. The topics that will be compared are, both authors show a community of people observing a single individual that is different from the rest in a negative light, the power struggle between the younger and older generations, and both their narrative point of views. In todays society, it is completely normal for a woman to be thirty years old and still be single. It has not always been that easy, however. In “A Rose For Emily”, Emily is the subject of the intense, controlling glare of her peers because she has yet to be married. Looking deeper into the story, it seems as if the townspeople are making assumptions of a woman they know very little about. When Emily meets Homer Barron, he is seen as a popular figure in town. When they are seen together on buggy rides, the pity they have for Emily increases, and they begin to believe that she is forgetting...

...Starting with Miller’s Domination and Subordination, it deals with a theoretical framework of inequality relationships, their different types, and the characteristics of the parties involved in said relationships. The author talks about inequality regarding two crucial concepts: power and status; and identifies the two participants in this type of relationships which are the “superior” party and the “lesser” party. As the author states in page 110, the superior party is supposed to “help the lesser party to fill up to full parity, to end the relationship of inequality”. Also, in all these types of relationships, disparity should be a temporary passage, ending with the relationship and moving to the next level, whether be a friendship, partnership or simply nothing. Building on this same instance, Miller goes as far as to analyzing the behavior of the two parties, who ultimately will always depend in the inequality at stake, since the dominant party will never want to leave room for the inferior party to dissent from their ideas and will go as far as taking the lesser party’s freedom. Finally, one of the most important points the author makes deals with the dissatisfaction that the lesser party always suffers because of the dominant party’s inability to allow any type of free movement or expression as mentioned in page 116. This last point brought to account by Miller relates greatly to the article Toward The Stony Mountains, since this type of relationship seem to dominate the scene...

...CynthiaF September 6, 2015 AP Literature Summer Reading Assignment 2015 Introduction- “How’d he do that?” * Memory affects the reading of literature because it helps you make connections and recognize patterns. Patterns in turn, can reveal hidden meaning and truths in the test. If something is mentioned frequently then it is probably of some importance. That piece of information is probably vital to understanding the literature. Symbols show what the text cannot and they help guide you to a more complete understanding of the literature. * The recognition of patterns help make it easier to read complicated literature because they help recognize the relationships between ideas. In advanced literature all of the ideas are mixed in a more complex way so if you are used to looking for patterns while reading it will help ease the complexity * While reading this book I noticed that the author uses a pattern of introducing mysteries that kept my attention. Irving kept my attention because he left the mysteries unsolved until the end He didn’t develop the plot directly. The pattern he uses is a pattern of suspense. For example he spent all of Chapter 1 explaining several unimportant stories and then at the end he finally tells the story of the baseball. Chapter 1- “Every Trip is a Quest” * Our quester: John A place to go: A stated reason to go there: He wants to figure out who is father is Challenges and trials: Owen kills John’s mother before she could...

...kingdom of the devil. He was feared by the normal witches. He was still a young boy, but he was so terrible in the things he did. He grew up to be a young man in his twenties with so much bloodshed on his hands. Killed at will. He had the ability to go out of his body through transcendental meditation. And he could levitate. Sometimes his body would lift off the ground and stay in the air. And sometimes he could go into a trance, and come out of his body; his body would remain behind, and he would go out into the world, this is called astro-travelling. And this guy was used by satan to destroy so many churches, to break down so many churches and to destroy so many pastors. One day, he was assigned to destroy a church that was so full of prayer. There were so many divisions in this church, and many confusions. And he began to work on this church. But at that time, the pastor called a fast for the whole church. As the church began...

...Business Strategy Case 3 The O-Fold Kyle Huffman Olds College Submission Date: February 14 2013 O-Fold Business Opportunity Introduction Alex Richards was a 4.0 GPA student, double majoring in finance and accounting. Before taking a trip to Colorado, Alex was faced with a problem: whether or not to take a suit on the plane, he did not want to wear it on the plane nor pack a suit case due to having the clothing wrinkle. He came up with the idea of the O-Fold, a cylindrical tube that clothes could be wrapped around, secured with straps, packed into tight spaces, and arrive wrinkle free. After completing a preliminary patent search online and finding nothing similar to his idea, Alex had to make a choice whether or not to start a company. He came up with four options, sell the idea, license the idea, outsource production, or use a crawl-walk-run strategy. External analysis With more then $5 billion in sales the luggage industry strengthened, as the baby boomer generation reached its peak travel ages (45-54). With profit margins growing from 28.9 percent in 1990 to 45.9 percent in 2000 the industry is looking profitable. As well having around 75 percent of the merchandise imported, this lowers the cost of production and materials. An important trend to look at is the use of handbags or carry on items. With the rising cost of fuel airlines started charging for check baggage, resulting in an increase of people buying carry on/handbags. Handbags sales increased from 3...

...Are Angels Real? Read This Story and Decide for Yourself An Angelic Encounter This is a personal story that happened to me. Some people read this and say that they believe I was visited by angels. Others say it is bogus. Read it and tell me what you think. The verse that corresponds to this first story is: Hebrews 13:2 - Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. I believe I encountered angels one day while on a bicycle ride. I'm not sure if God was testing me as the above scripture makes clear, but I am sure the meeting with these angels was not of this humanly world. I ride a road bicycle quite a lot. I used live out of town so my rides either headed back into town or way out toward the middle of nowhere on the highway headed to the next town. The highways of New Mexico are usually sparsely traveled. On this particular day, I was battling a headwind and it was a bit of struggle. I couldn't wait until I got out around 10 miles because the 10 miles home would be fast with the wind on my back. About 3 miles from home, I came up to the top of a small hill and noticed a white mini-van about 100 feet down the other side of the hill. As I approached it, I noticed that the young man standing next to the van had taken a badly deteriorated flat tire off the van and had his spare laying next to it. There were rubber and steel belts all over the place as the blow out appeared to be sudden and dangerous. I stopped...

...Terri Wilson English 140-01 Nicholas 10 October 2012 Angel As I slide another book onto the shelf, I am drawn back to that night….. The old oaks lining the street created a perfect canopy over the sleeping neighborhood of neat and tiny cottage homes. The branches seemed to be expertly woven together. The moon was full and fat but only small slivers of light slipped through the leaves. I stood as motionless as a statue on the corner, watching and listening for any other signs of life. The night air was so crisp and my senses so predatorily heightened that I felt sure I would be able to detect even the softest scent of another’s presence. I was alone and undetected, my natural state. I began to silently saunter down the little lane. I nonchalantly inspected the houses as I went, until I came upon the one that drew me in with that magnetic pull I had come to know and love so well. That feeling meant that that peace would soon be restored to my aching, raging mind. I knew that other voice inside of me would be silenced once I had carried out its orders once again. I cautiously crept around to the back of the home and immediately took note of the swing set in the yard. A small smile turned the corner of my lips up ever so slightly. This was the place. I looked across the back of the house, and couldn’t believe my good luck. No, not luck, destiny it must have been. Some force out there in the universe was as intent as I that my task be completed. ...
