Journalist: Hi, I’m a journalist from The New York Times, my name is Anthony. Before I start this interview, I would like you to know that if any questions make you uncomfortable you don’t have to answer them. Student: okay. Journalist: So, how did it all begin? Student: It was Wednesday, and school started like any other day, until the last period during which I was in the library with a few other students. We heard a gunshot in the corridor. We panicked immediately until we regained our teacher and hid under the desk. We waited for a long 30 minutes before we heard another gunshot, then another, that’s when we realized that the shooter was coming nearer to the library. Journalist: My god! What next? Student: We decided to run to the back of the library where it was very dark, we figured he wouldn’t find us there. Journalist: Smart move! What happened after? Student: We crawled to the back and felt relatively safe for a while. The window was open and the sun was setting! We had been in school for nearly four hours! Journalist: Wow. Student: Only after it got dark the police burst into the library and helped us all to safety. Journalist: Hopefully there were no casualties, but a teacher was injured. Student: Yes. Journalist: Thank you very much. Student: You’re welcome. Please make it a good article, it could’ve been worse; we need security in our schools.
This isn’t much but I hope it helps! <3 good luck on your assignment!!
The term or name for word clues in a text that appear different because they are bolded, highlighted, italicized or written in a different font is typographical, which refers to the work of setting and arranging types and of printing from them; it pertains to the character and appearance of printed material.
Answer 1) In The Odyssey, the events are not organized in chronological order. The book starts with Odysseus marooned on Calypsos´s island. It continues with the story of Telemachus, and it goes back to the hero´s story in Ogygia. This resource helps to show that both stories occur simultaneously. It also highlights the tension between Telemachus and the suitors to reach a climax when Oddysus arrives home in the following chapters. Another effective resource is the use of flashbacks. When Odysseus tells the Phaeacians how he left Troy and arrived on Calypso, he takes readers back to the first story, chronologically speaking, but from a first-person point of view. The book starts near the end to show everything that happens while Odysseus is kept in Calypso and his long wait to return home.
Answer 2) Calypsos´s garden offers Oddyseus everything a man wishes. However, the heavenly place cannot make him forget about his family and home. Ogygia awakens his loyalty and longing for Ithaca.
Answer 3) Calypso plays the role of a good host when she aids Odysseus, her guest. In the beginning, both have a good host-guest relationship. However, Calypso enchants and imprisons Odysseus, who wants to return to Ithaca. Thus, a good host-guest relationship turns into a bad one.
Answer 4) Odysseus does not want to stay with Calypso in spite of having a heavenly life. He is truly loyal to his family and he realizes Ogygia could never be his home. He feels the need to fight for Ithaca and Ogygia turns into a boring and simple place for him.
Answer 5) When I was eighteen, I realized that I was no longer a child because I had to assume a lot of responsibilities as an adult. Thus, I decided to give up having so much fun with friends to grow up and fulfill my duties. As a result, I learned that the only way to reach my goals is by focussing on what matters.
