English Essay- Cue for treason

English Essay-Cue For Treason

Tyler Lachance-ENG 1D1

April 15^th 2011

My English essay will be on the allowance of women acting in the theater.

Although not everybody would agree, I want to argue that women such as Katherine Russel AKA: Kit Kirkstone, should be able to have as many rights to act as the men do.

I have several reasons for arguing this point of view.

My first reason is, that letting women act will save the touring group money on making the men look and act like women. The women already do look and act this way. The men must ask of more money to act like a woman, mostly because it is a less practical part for them to play, and would ask more money as a “compensation” sort of thing.

Another reason would be, the RIGHTS of these women! From my opinion I think that it is totally sexist for the men being allowed to act but not the women. There should be a new law passed to enforce the rights of women. Even in this era. I think Queen Elizabeth, being a woman, would understand the grief of these women and not being able to act freely.

Therefore, though some people might argue that, there is no law already made saying that woman can’t act. Also that there is a law saying they can’t.

I think I have shown that, women do have potential to act and there are several good reasons why should be able to.

Lonsdale Times- Sports

Friday, April 26th, 1595

Today in sports: The Lonsdale Lions took on the Keswick Kiwis in a bowling tournament at the Lonsdale Bowling Alley. They played in teams of three. The Lions came out on top with a total team score of 644! The Kiwis were not far behind with a 628!

Also in archery, the shootout competition between robin hood and king henry took place outside the local marketplace. Robin Hood took the competition with a double bullseye!

Reactions-You've Been Warned

The main reaction that i had in this book was SHOCK. I was totally shocked at many parts of this book, especially when we find out that Michael is a wife killer and when Kristen gets beaten by the ghost of Frank Delmonico. There is many moments in this book when I have to re read the sentence because i cannot believe what i am seeing, the way that this author throws everything at you at once is like a wave of shock and disbelief and I think that, that is what he is going for.

Mood-You've been warned

The mood of this story is a variety of feelings. If i could summarize it into one feeling it would have to be... Terrified. To go into detail, Kristen is always having an awful dream that she is the one and only witness of a murder and when she asks people whats going on, they don't see anything and they think that she is crazy! The feeling of herself going insane is constantly running through her mind and it must be very scary for her because she is still quite young, and age 34. Also, another terrifying moment in her adventure as a devil, she is assaulted by the ghost of deceased Detective Frank Delmonico! She is thrown all over her apartment, practically beaten to death. All that Frank has to say is that it is HER fault, for what? She doesn't even know! That is why i think "Terrified" would be an appropriate mood for the story, because there is an unspoken feeling of fear in every chapter of the book, even the happy chapters.

Questions-You've been warned

Some of the questions that i have for James patterson are:

Why did you make Michael a murderer?
Why diddnt you just make Michael divorce Penly and have it over with? and then he and Kristen could go on and live a happy life with the kids?
What did "the ponytail" have to do with the story at all?
What happened to Frank Delmonico after he said goodbye to Kristen before she died?
What happened to Kristen after the EMS paramedic notcied she was still alive?

You've Been Warned-Novel Cover

My book-You've Been Warned




I chose this book, because it seemed visually striking to me. For example the purposely teared cover with the words "Don't look" beneath it, immediately caught my eye in our library at home. Also, i chose this book because it was recommended to me by my stepfather.
