Diction worksheet thang

1. side...I only climbed on the spare

spar and leaned over the rail as far as I could, to bring my eyes nearer to that

mystery floating alongside.

2. The side of the boat cast a large think shadow onto the surface of the glistening water. But i was quick to spot a long pale object floating near the ladder. Before i could even begin to fathom what it was, I saw a light that came from what i made out to be the body of a naked man accompanied bye the flickering light of lightning in the night sky. Then I basically saw a headless body clutching to the ladder. Oh NO a hEAdlesS corpse!!!!!!!!!!!!! A cigar fell out of my open mouth and made a bunch of cigar noises because it was so quiet that they were actually audible. He looked fishy.

3.The "elevated" language makes the piece sound leaps and bounds more serious by comparison to the paraphrased version, courtesy of yours truly.

Questions 9-15 Leopard Man

9. Tom Leppard is called the Leopard man because he got tattooed to look like a leopard and he lives out in the wilderness.

10.The author of the article thinks that tattoos and piercings are just a way to get attention through shock value. He probably has these opinions because he's a closed minded prick.

11. The Leopard man is only different from other pierced people in the way that he lives. He's a hermit. That's literally the only difference that I think is substantial. In normal circumstances, people do not get their tattoos and piercings for the enjoyment and reaction of others. Unless they're not too smart. In which case we should just ignore them because they marked up their bodies for the wrong reasons.

12. The Leopard man lives on the outskirts of an Irish town if i recall correctly and he only goes in every now and again to get supplies.

13. According to the author people fear loners. This is probably due to the fact that "loners" aren't dependent on socializing or the opinions and feedback of others. They can live totally independent of most people and can function perfectly fine on their own. Also people tend to fear what is different.

14. The worlds most common and psychological disorder to date is conformity. The reason being that conformity causes us to surrender our individuality. And that individuality is a VITAL part of what makes us human. Losing that is basically losing our sense of selves, or well basically yourself as a whole.

15.The Leopard man is so happy because he's living the way that he wants to. Away from all of the pressure and judgement of society that everyone else would normally deal with. He is free of pretty much everything and is living the life of a cheetah... on a $500 budget.

Reading log prologue to part 2

U: it's pretty late right now so I'm not sure whether or not anything I think is accurate but at any rate I think what was really going on is that the author is trying to say something about the stubbornness of children about how they will do what ever they want regardless of them being abvised to do otherwise

Reading log chapter 4

P: I predict  that in the next chapter it will be the final story that is told before the journey to find the twins begins.

Reading log chapter 3

R: I was honestly really surprised with the fact that Lindo's plan worked out pretty much perfectly and that all of her efforts weren't wasted. Because it seems like everyone that I read something like this hat something HAS to go wrong, however this was obviously not the case. And I'm gererally proud that she was able to keep her promise to her parents whilst also keeping her integrity and self-worth
