Sample As proven through the many meaningful characteristics and examples of George’s relationship with Lenny, it is clear that Slim was mistaken when he said that George had no choice but to kill Lenny. While George thought that he was doing the right thing, he had many other options that he wasn’t considering at the time. True friendship requires sacrifice and the willingness to do whatever is possible to help your friends when they make mistakes. Lenny would have done anything to have helped George, so George should have done the same.

Sample It is clear that Dharkar’s use of figurative language, anaphora and epistrophe, and sarcasm effectively communicate to her audience the need for people to be more open-minded and accepting of cultural differences. The many stylistic elements in her writing enhance her message by focusing her audience’s attention on her key messages that people should stop blaming cultural differences by saying that others are “from a different country.” While our society has come a long way from its roots, we still have a long way to go when foreign-born American citizens are still criticized for what makes them unique. Poets like Dharkar help to bring this problem to light so that we can think twice before saying something careless and insensitive when we see something different than what we are used to.
