HELP PLZ?! Good authors choose their words very carefully. Take a few minutes to write a short paragraph describing an experienc
e you have recently had. Pick a location you went to or an event you attended. Once you have finished, read over what you have written. Now, write a second paragraph. In it, you will repeat the information from the first paragraph, but you will choose your words more carefully. Ask yourself questions like: What words capture this image exactly? What is the best word to convey how something looked, or how I felt? Take more time with the second paragraph. Your response should be at least 150 words in total.
About a month ago I went to Las Vegas. It was fun and I was there to play a basketball tournament. We stayed at some hotel by the strip and after playing a few games walked around. At night we got food and watched the fountain show by this one resort. There was drama, but overall it was a good time to bond with my team.
On September 11 to the 13th I was in Las Vegas with my basketball team. We took about 4 hours to drive there and back home. It was exciting staying at the Paris, Las Vegas. This was a 4 star hotel by the strip with a tiny replica of the Eiffel Tower by the pool. The games were hard and we lost two of them. However, we came back and had a victory in our last game. The second to last day staying in Vegas we walked the strip. There were places like New York New York and the M&M Factory. We walked even further and saw stores like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Prada which we didn't have in our small town home. We also had Panda Express for dinner. After having Panda Express for dinner, we walked the strip to the Bellagio. In front of the Bellagio is fountains. We watched the fountain show and walked back to the room. I disliked the drama of the trip. I did enjoy the good memories that our team made though.
Explanation: Idk if this is 150 words but you get the point :)
Bryan Stevenson's speech deeply echoed and reflected the themes of social injustice and inequality in Harpee Lee's novel - To Kill A Mockingbird. The prevelance of this injustice is explored with a clear hierarchy between the white families, all of whom are "ranked" above the towns black residents.
