development planss
For the past few months there has been a proposed redevelopment plans for Shirley. The options available are: * Supermarket * Factory * Park * Housing Estate We spoke to a retired person who said, " The good thing about having a local supermarket is that it is not far for me to go to. But the bad things are that there would be so much traffic, which is unsafe, and the busy roads. I would hate it if we had a factory near us because there would be so much noise and pollution in the air. Also the smell would be unbearable. It would be lovely to have new houses built. Retired people like me could move in a larger house. However there will be even more traffic and noise. I like the idea of having a local park. I can just picture myself relaxing on one of those comfortable bunches where it is peaceful I could even take my grandchildren for a stroll in the park. But now days there are lots of teenagers that come to the park too and they don't make the park a happy environment anymore. " Then we spoke to a teenager, who said, " Supermarkets would be great because than I could have a Saturday job and make lots of money, but then I would have to go food shopping once a week. If we had a factory I could have a job or do work experience. However there would be so much noise and pollution. Also it would be dangerous. It would be brilliant if we had a local park because then I could
anylasis of three extracts
The three extracts I am comparing are written by three different authors. The first extract I am going to tell you about is written by a famous author called 'Terry Pratchett'. The second extract is written by a children's author 'Charles Dickens'. And finally, the third extract I am going to explain, is written by another well-known author, 'Eoin Colfer'. With these three extracts, I am going to inform and describe how the characters and settings are developed. In the first extract the characters are well described using many adjectives. For example 'Mr Horsefry' was described as a 'youngish man, not simply running to fat but vaulting, leaping and driving towards obesity. He had acquired at thirty and impressive selection of chins, and now they wobbled with angry pride.' I can picture this man with so many chains and not being able to speak properly. This is a funny description and makes the reader want to read on and see what else the reader writes about Mr Horsefry. 'Terry Pratchett' also writes that Mr Horsefry is: 'Despite his expression, which was that of a piglet having a bright idea, and his mode of speech, which might put you in mind of a small, breathless, neurotic but ridiculously expensive dog, Mr Horsefry might have been a kind, generous and pious man. In the same way, the man climbing out of your window in a stripy jumper, a mask and a great hurry might merely
example of a good english essay
October 2005 English Essay Different writers use different techniques to create a sense of atmosphere and mystery in their stories. I have chosen two ghost stories, 'The Monkey's Paw' written by W W Jacobs and 'Who Goes Down This Dark Road?' written by Joan Aiken. I am going to use these two stories to compare the techniques used by writers from different times. Using these two stories I am going to describe how the openings takes place, the characters, story structure, historical contexts and the settings used to describe the location in which the story took place. In these two short stories the openings are both completely different. The opening in 'The Monkey's Paw' uses more settings, which describe the area in which the story takes place, shown by using language. For example the openings quote from 'The Monkey's Paw' is 'Without, the night was cold and wet, but in the small parlour of Laburnum Villa the blinds were drawn and the fire burned brightly. Father and son were at chess.' This quote introduces two characters, Mr White and his son Herbert and describes the settings. As you can tell from this quote the story uses old fashioned language which was used a long time ago. The story also used word like 'Hark at the wind', 'poised', 'hospitable haste' and 'condoling', nowadays we no longer use these words as they are outdated. However in the story 'Who Goes Down This
