"My Father in the Navy" uses first person because the narrator talks about how she, her mother, and her brother waited for her father. It also shows sensory details.

The sensory details are how the narrator feels about Mangan's sister.
 * Journal Prompt 1.** Cofer's "My Father in the Navy" and Joyce's short story "Araby" are autobiographical or narrative in nature.

The conflict, I think, would be man vs. man. The example would be when the planes hit the North and South Towers because it's the people in the towers vs. the people who hijacked the planes. The people in the building weren't able to stop them because they didn't have a clue what was going on when the first plane hit. The hijackers knew what was going to happen that day, while everybody else didn't. This to me really shows man vs. man.
 * Journal Prompt 2.** Conflict and conflict resolution are narration qualities. Conflicts can be man vs. man, man vs. nature, and man vs. self. Describe one example from Mayblum's "The Price We Pay" that exemplifies one of the aforementioned areas of conflict. 1 para.

I've seen an advertisement that would make shaving simple. The product is small and it will slide on your hand. You are supposed to be able to rub it across your skin and it's supposed to take the hair off. Mostly women would use this, but men might use it too. The advertisement is bad because it shows people using it and they say that it works. They don't show you a before and after picture. I have tried this product and it doesn't work. You would have to rub your skin until it became raw. You could be through shaving and you could be doing something else by the time you finish rubbing your skin.
 * Journal Prompt 5.** Read this [|article] about bad advertisement. Discuss one advertisement you've seen or heard that you believe is poor advertisement--describe the ad so that a person reading your discription could visualize the ad without seeing it.

This advertisement has a woman, who might be a model in it. It looks like she has highlights in her hair and she's wearing something that has different colors on it. This ad is targeting mainly women and make-up artist, but if a guy wanted to use it let him. There are many colors to choose from. If you like highlights for your hair, you would like highlights for your eyes. I believe it's a good ad because it has some good colors and details in it. The ad tells you what each end of the brush does. You are able to see the writing that was put on the ad which helps you figure out what it does. The ad would attract people because you can take wearing make-up to a whole new level.
 * Journal Prompt 6.** Search the internet or a magazing to find a "good" advertisement. Describe the ad so that a reader may visualize it without seeing the ad. Discuss why you believe the advertisement is good. 2 para

Some of the social behaviors that tweens are demonstrating include the following: trying to hang out with people that might be a few years older than them, they don't want to wear anything that may look babyish, and they don't want to do anything that might make them look like a baby. One example the writer gives is girls wearing revealing clothing. Another example the writer gives is that middle school kids are becoming sexually active. A third example the writer gives is that girls start wearing makeup at an early age. They don't need to be doing stuff older kids would do, they just need to be themselves for now because their time will come.

One example where individuals engage in group think in a dangerous manner is when they start drinking and then they decide to drive. They don't think how that affects the other drivers, walkers, or themselves because it can kill them and others. Another example is when individuals drag race. When they drag race, they just want to win, but trying to win can be dangerous because they don't know what's going to happen to them or their vehicle while they're racing. If their vehicle goes one way, they might hit the person they are racing or they could flip their vehicle.
