Mr. Elmo Norman, my elementary school principal, was the most nervous man I have ever met. He was a short, pudgy man, always ove

r-dressed. In fact, he didn't just wear his clothes--he hid inside them. His uniform consisted of a neatly pressed pin-striped suit, a thin black tie over a starched white shirt, and a pair of brightly polished brown Oxfords. His receding gray hair was always neatly trimmed, and his fat, wrinkled head always darted about like a radar blip on his neck. He paced the school hallways in a perpetual motion of twitching, fidgeting, and twiddling. In the space of a minute, he would wrinkle his little nose, scratch his plump chin, shrug his shoulders, straighten his tie, and glance at his watch, never once looking directly at the person he was with. As he spoke in his lackadaisical drawl, he would glance at the ceiling, inspect his knuckles, and check the floorboards for dust. When the conversation was over, he would dash back into his office like a frightened bunny, probably praying that he could lock himself in there forever. And for all I know, he may still be hiding there in his office today.
b.  Underline OR highlight the words, phrases, or sentences that give clues to Mr. Elmo Norman’s CHARACTER    traits in the paragraph.
c.  What is the POINT OF VIEW that this story is being told from?  
d.  HOW do you KNOW that it is this type of point of view?

hoa [83]

While citing the source in the research paper, "2011" refers to the date/year the source was published.

A “citation” refers to the way a writer or publisher can tell its readers that certain material in the work has been taken from another source. It also gives readers the information that is necessary to locate the actual source with reference of the works Cited page. A citation compulsorily includes a set of parentheses.

There are certain elements to be included while writing the citation:

  1. Author of paper.
  2. Year of publication (in round brackets)
  3. Title of paper (in single quotation marks)
  4. Title of conference proceedings: subtitle (in italics)

Therefore, "2011" refers to the date/year the source was published.

If you were George Washington, how would you feel when you saw the corporal refuse to help his men?
valentinak56 [21]
If I were George Washington, and I saw the corporal refuse to help his men, I’d be filled with such rage and sadness. It would overcome my ability to stay put. The amount of disappointment I’d feel in those moments would nearly rip my heart out my chest. The corporals refusal to help his men had mentally abused me in every way. I am no longer George Washington, but a victim of mental abuse. It is within my reach and my power to overcome said abuse, but in all reality, am I ready to? Am I ready to overstep the lines and overcome the inability to feel happiness? Am I ready to step out of my comfort zone and step up for myself? I’m not sure. At this point, I do not control my life. I am nothing but a character in your story book. It is ultimately your decision wether you would like to keep reading or not. Ever since corporal has refused to help his men, my anger has filled skies, my tears have filled empty oceans, and my fear has brought back the dead. Viewing my life in an outsiders perspective, I see how much of a monster I’ve become. I’m watching my life fall apart right before my eyes. Me, being silly old George Washington, cannot do anything about it. My life is crumbling before my very eyes without a singular blink. Although, you may think I am overreacting, I am not. Everyday decisions impact everyday decisions. Watching corporal refuse to help his men, just proved my very point. There is no justice in this cruel world. All we can find is pain, misery, and ache. All we feel is sadness, disappointment, and anger.

If I were George Washington, and I saw the corporal refuse to help his men, I’d be filled with such rage and sadness.

Paraphrase the claim colvin makes about the mission of war correspondents line 12-20
balu736 [363]

Answer:

According to Marie Colvin, the mission of War Correspondents is to tell the truth as it is.

She states that regardless of what nomenclature in the English language is used to describe or qualify the activities that go on during a war and in the war front, the devastating effects are neither enervated nor does it change.

She makes a case for the women who were brutally widowed, children who were forcefully orphaned, mothers whose children were in the most gruesome fashion invented by man yanked away from their lives. She does not forget to make mention of all properties that were lost.  

She states towards the end of the lines indicated above that it is the job and purpose of a War Correspondent to say '<em>it</em>' like it is.

By that, she meant that every war correspondent must say the truth about what goes on during the war. She added that every war reported comes at a risk and at a cost. It is the job of the War Correspondent to check to see if it was worth the risk.

Cheers!
