      <description>The expenses of creating affordable housing for the homeless are much more than I anticipated. Over 115 million and another 15 million for safety and cleaning of public spaces.</description>

      <title>Orwell Predictions</title>

      <description>Orwell predicted that there would be a fear of disgust in the world outside of the state, but in this chapter, we can see that Winston and Jiulia think differently and don't agree and want to escape the rules from Big Brother in the party. Orwell since recent events in time with COVID has been right with children being scared to leave their homes after major lockdowns and quarantines. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10158760/ </description>

      <description>This reminded me of Hunger Games where the government controlled how Katniss and Peeta's relationship would hold up after being selected to play in the games. They were forced to fight against each other despite their love for each other.</description>

      <description>Winston meets Julia in the Ministry where he is distracted by her and lost thinking about her. This was totally against Big Brothers' rules and orders regarding what Winston could do and feel about others. Winton and Julia leave the Ministry to talk about their mutual hate for the Party and end up kissing. This was very rebellious towards the party. We start to see how fast Winston is growing away from the party and acting more rebellious. The chapter doesn't fully explain what happened between Winston and Julia, and it remains mysterious. </description>

      <title>Can you gove me some ideas on how I can be more specific about how these choices reveal her struggles and achievements related to her identity?</title>

      <description>You've started well by highlighting Sotomayor's rhetorical choices, such as emotional diction, rhetorical questions, and imagery. This establishes a clear focus on the prompt. The thesis mentions Sotomayor's use of these techniques to convey her identity and emotions. However, it could be more specific about how these choices reveal her struggles and achievements related to her identity. For instance, how does her use of emotional diction reflect her journey towards embracing her identity? 

Would you like to explore more about how to integrate specific examples from the text into your thesis, ways to strengthen your analysis of rhetorical questions, or how to connect Sotomayor&#8217;s imagery to broader themes in her speech?

      <description>It is clear that Orwell uses diction in a way to give the reader a better understanding with imagery and how the characters are in there emotional and physical states.</description>

      <description>Kamala said she was very sure that she would win some states 100% but as we saw with Michigan, it was not accurate.</description>

      <title>Trump telling people to not vote early.</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://writingpartners.net/documents/2862?scroll_to=19387</guid>
      <description>I think that this strategy is a little confusing to me because I don't understand why he would want to mass majority of the people voting right at election.</description>

      <title>The great enemy of clear language is insincerity.</title>

      <description>George Orwell also says that the great enemy of clear language is insincerity. I believe this would be a leading factor as to why clear language could be used this way, but I do think that what Harris is saying isn't insincere, because it is not yet justifiable.</description>

      <title>Chaos is connected with the decay of language </title>
      <link>https://writingpartners.net/documents/772?scroll_to=3335</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://writingpartners.net/documents/772?scroll_to=3335</guid>
      <description>I believe that when Goegrge Orwell states, &quot;Chaos is connected with the decay of language&quot;, it is clear that when offensive terms or language used to explain why someone is wrong, is often turned into the chaos side of language. I do see why Orwell says that chaos is the reason for it because the two subjects are both heavily involved with hatred. </description>
