Analyzing Herbert's Diary Of A Harlem School
To begin with, Herbert’s wording would be considered as direct diction because of the way he speaks on behalf of the two companies crossing paths due to them both utilizing, “It’s the real thing” for advertising their products (5). As for when Herbert claims that the author of Diary of a Harlem Schoolteacher must, “stop using the theme or slogan” since Coca-Cola believes that they own this specific slogan due to utilizing this slogan before the author of the book (7). This may be portrayed as direct diction due to the way they don’t try to beat around the bush, but says specifically that they feel the author must not use this slogan because people may become confused if Coca-Cola and the book are intertwined. Moreover, Coca-Cola includes

    Furthermore, Ira C. Herbert’s letter establishes a serious mood. For example, he justifies that, “... We are writing to ask you to stop using this theme or slogan in connection with the book” which is informing that the The Grove Press must stop using “their” slogan(6-7). Herbert implants a serious mood in the reader when he decides to not use any positive words and just gets to the main point of his letter. Another example would be him claiming that in 1952, Coca-Cola used “There’s this about Coke-You Can't beat the real thing”...” informing the Grove Press that Coca-Cola created the first idea that originated the slogan. In this situation Herbert serious mood is conveyed when he is straightforward and direct. This straightforward letter directed…

    In 1970, Grove Press used the slogan "it 's the real thing" in an advertisement for Diary of a Harlem Schoolteacher by Jim Haskins. The Coca-Cola Company had already been using this slogan and similar slogans for approximately 28 years, and as a result a Coca-Cola Company executive, Mr. Ira C. Herbert and Mr. Richard Seaver, who was a representative of Grove Press, have a two letter correspondence in which the use of this slogan is discussed. Although both letters contain similarities in regards to word choice and the use of details and examples, the overall tone and persuasiveness of each letter varies greatly.…

    Today I started reading Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. I really like how the author describes the background of the story in the prologue of the book. It really helps to understand the story better later on. Jacob, the main character in this book, is kind of a shy kid, and seems like a slacker. He doesn’t seem to want to work hard at anything. I really love how the author jumps right into the plot with Grandpa Portman’s frantic phone call while Jacob is at work. Very excited to read more!…

    Looking back on the trial about Emmett Till it is hard to support the way that everything turned out. I remember the terrible amounts of discrimination that occurred. Going back the story went as told. Emmett Till to me was just an innocent boy. The two men who murdered him should not have been innocent. Emmett Till was a 14-year-old boy who was brutally murdered. The reason was horrific and completely not understandable. Emmett Till was from Chicago and wasn’t used to the tremendous segregation that happened in Mississippi at the time. Emmett walked into a grocery store just like any normal person would. The event that was so claimed “wrong” was that he was so called flirting with a white woman who worked at the grocery store. A few nights after the incident the woman’s husband come to Emmett’s house and took him away. The woman’s husband along with the father in law of the woman murdered Till. They beat him and gouged out his eyes. After that they tied a cotton gin around his neck and threw him into the Tallahassee River. 3 days later his body was found. His mother was extremely devastated and decided to have an open casket funeral to show how brutally her son was beaten. Many went to his funeral and saw the body. Unfortunately many people didn’t believe it and started to support the killers.…

    The Harlem Renaissance was an expression of African-American social thought and culture which took a place in newly-formed Black community in neighborhood of Harlem. The Harlem Renaissance flourished from early 1920 to1940 and was expressed through every cultural medium-visual art, dance, music, theatre, literature, poetry, history, politics and the consequent "white flight" of Harlem. Instead of using direct political means, African-American artists, writers, and musicians employed culture to work for goals of civil rights and equality. Its lasting legacy is that for the first time (and across racial lines), African-American paintings, writings, and jazz became…

    Concrete records are available concerning the success of Webster’s speller and those like it with little children. What is surprising is that perhaps the best testimony concerning its success came from someone who spent massive effort trying to remove the Webster speller and those like it. He was one of the change-agents of the period, William Andrus Alcott, an associate of Gallaudet’s and of other change-agents of the period. His cousin was A. Bronson Alcott, who went to Pennsylvania about 1830 with William Russell, the Scot activist editor of the American Journal of Education, to work for government schools. In 1840, A.…
