    The Giver Community Analysis

    What is more valued - personal rights or the common good of the community? In The Giver, written by Lois Lowry, a boy perfectly adapted to his unique community named Jonas begins to open his eyes, sees the reality of his world, and searches for the true values in life. In this community, the citizens want to live a simple, predetermined life and also strongly believe that they are living in a “perfect” society through the system of sameness which eliminates risks. However, they do not have any knowledge of history and the time before the idea of sameness except for The Receiver, the person who holds all the memories of the delightful but sometimes painful past. When Jonas gets chosen as the next Receiver, The Giver who is responsible for handing…

    Discourse Community Analysis Paper

    At the beginning of my high school days when I was a freshman or “fish” as the upperclassmen would call us, I never knew where I really belonged. Every clique or group that I tried to become a part of did not truly fit my personality. Just like the upperclassmen had said, I felt like a small fish in an even bigger sea. It all changed when one day a pep rally was held in honor of our first football game of the season. As I sat in the rickety bleachers and watched the cocky football players walk out followed by the overly-spirited cheerleaders, I sat back in dismay. But then following the cheerleaders,…

    Discourse community analysis

    “Palms sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy.” Eminem’s 8 Mile pumped through my headphone like a syringe into my veins. Sweat beaded on my forehead and my muscles ached with fatigue as the 2012 Clark Cougar Basketball tryouts were coming to a close. The coach began to take his place in the front of the group, so I removed my headphones in preparation for his speech. He began to speak about how great this year’s turnout was. The suspense was brutal and time crawled as he went on. His speech was about to end as he started announcing the tryout results. Three long days of crucial drills and performance debuts by the players were about to pay off. With each passing name my heart sunk a little deeper into my stomach. “Shane Deselles.” Finally! My name had been called! I was now a member of the Cougar basketball team. But to successfully contribute to the team I had to draw on and expand my knowledge of the game, display to my teammates I could be counted on, and prove that I was able to influence and lead my team to do the tasks required to win a championship.…

    Discourse Community Analysis

    Respect among basketball, football, baseball or players of any sport, is like nothing else. The common mutual respect is so different because one minute it could be there and the next minute it would be gone, and vice versa. Between coaches, players, and referees there is a lot of potential respect but a lot of potential disrespect as well. This respect isn’t earned quickly or easy at all. This is the kind of respect that is so strong that it could last a lifetime or end in a minute. That’s why playing your best when you really need to is so important in sports, especially among friends and people you look up to, the people you go to when you need help with something. The experts of our community are usually the people who have been playing the longest. They are who lead us when we practice or make plays. The last thing you want to do is bring any kind of negativity to the basketball court because it spreads like wild fire. One sarcastic comment or snide remark that is taken the wrong way in the heat of the moment can drastically change someone’s opinion of another person.…

    Discourse Community Analysis

    In order to be accepted into a discourse community, a person must learn typical ways people in that community communicate and argue. In this paper I will prove that I entered the discourse community of my high school soccer team by acquiring knowledge, establishing my credibility, and learning the game I love. In other words, I will be using the ethos, logos, and pathos appeals. I love to play soccer and watch the professionals who play on TV. I have played since I was ten years old and always played in a city league team. The requirements of being part of the team were simple but at the same time very hard. I was recently part of my high school soccer team, the Crowley Eagles. People might have looked at us as just a regular soccer team, but we were a family that grew to love each other. From losing most games in the season to coming back and being undefeated we always stuck together.…
