Answer:
This quote of Gene Forrester shows how disillusioned and unrealistic his belief about the great war is.
Explanation:
The given quote is spoken by Gene Forrester in chapter 8 of the book <em>A Separate Peace</em> by John Knowles. The given lines show the disparity of the boys' world and the reality of the world. Amidst the war that was going on in the outside world, the boys are rather more concerned about their rivalry and academic life.
In the given passage, Gene compares World War II with that of an ocean wave, <em>"gathering power and size"</em>. But this shows just how trivial the war seems to him, without realizing the severity of the situation. Their location in Devon was unfazed by the war which had ravaged other parts of the nation. It has <em>"eluded"</em> them, and that it had gone away, without any need to worry about it's return. Gene also expressed his belief that even though the war had hurled <em>"harmlessly overhead, no doubt throwing others roughly up on the beach, but leaving me peaceably treading water as before"</em>, he believes that there is no more harm coming. He did not believe <em>"another even larger and more powerful"</em> wave will follow the one that they have just eluded.
Answer:
I would cite sources from the Newspaper articles;
1. Miami-Dade County Votes to Keep Pit Bulls Out, and
2. Ohio Overturns Pit Bull Bill
Explanation:
In referencing the newspaper article, "Miami-Dade County Votes to Keep Pit Bulls Out", I will cite the example of the vicious attack on an 8-year-old girl named Melissa whose injuries sustained from the attack required several major reconstructive surgeries. Despite the protests by some to repeal the ban, the majority continue to reject the move.
I will also cite the statement by Representative Bruce Goodwin in, "Ohio Overturns Pit Bull Bill". He said, and I quote, "The 'Pit Bull' has the distinction or characteristic that when they grab on, they don't let go." He added, " 'Pit Bulls' are the choice for drug dealers and other bad folks and that is for a reason."
