¶ … confusing at first because there is no mention of a turtle, but the scene needs to be set before the turtle can have a point. The title of the story is good because it talks about the main subject of the story, but it is also important to know that the turtle is a metaphor for something bigger. Steinbeck is trying to show that there are many things that human beings encounter in life, but by not giving up and by making the effort to do something more with life, most of the problems can either be avoided or corrected so that they are not really problems anymore. The thick shell of the turtle is like the 'thick skin' that people talk about. It means that things do not bother a person, and it is important to be this way when problems appear so that life can be enjoyed.
In the conclusion of the story it first seems like the turtle will be crushed, but he is only sent off on a different course, and some of the oats that he took with him by accident are planted somewhere different, where they may grow well. It is also important to see that the turtle affected the lives of others, even though it was not deliberate. Human beings often do this, too. By using a tone that is very descriptive and open, Steinbeck tells a story where the reader can picture what is happening and feel the emotions that Steinbeck wants to make sure people understand. Anyone who really thinks hard about the story will also see the metaphor that Steinbeck is trying to get across, as well. The style of the story is narrative, and there is no dialogue, but this approach works very well for a story like this. Also good is the way that Steinbeck transitions the story from the plodding of the turtle to the work it goes through to get to the highway, to the way that it plods off down another road at the end. Things in the story have come full circle for the turtle at that point.

The First Amendment to the United Sates Constitution is known to be part of the nation's Bill of Rights. The first amendment is maybe the most vital section of the United States Constitution for the reason that the amendment guarantees the people
It is reasonable to conclude, therefore, that Congress has enacted sufficient regulation on business communication. Given that businesses are comprised of individuals who are subject to First Amendment protection, for the government to treat business communication as distinct from personal communication, however noble the idea in spirit, creates a conflict that is not easily reconciled. If anything, reconciliation of this conflict will see a further reduction on the limits
Confused Availability Project team personnel were initially confused due to the number of assignments, lack of communication between individuals and the team, and with only a small number of full-time and mostly part-time personnel assigned to the project, it seems as if the employees were not sure as to who was expected to complete the assignments as well as who was expected to ensure their completion. As one recent study found
Confusing Over the course of the semester, there were many things that surprised and intrigued me and unfortunately, sometimes confused me; but, upon reflection there are three specific instances that rise to the top in terms of classifying it as surprising, intriguing and confusing Foremost, over the course of the semester I was most intrigued by the masters of the Venetian renaissance, Giorgione and Titan. The images that both captured in
Typically, writing students can achieve those goals by practicing their written responses to assigned prompts. The feedback from instructors (and from other readers) usually enables writers to better understand how they could have expressed their thoughts more accurately and more efficiently in terms of communicating the ideas on any subject matter of writing. It might be helpful for this writer to think about the distinctions between motivation in writing
Confusing Features in Consumer Products Bill Bryson's Design Flaws is a well-thought out essay that expresses exactly how consumers feel when they are confronted with products that give them features that are more than necessary for their use. Although initially, readers may perceive the author as technologically-challenged, that is, not able to adapt to changes in new technologies, his arguments against the 'unnecessary excesses' of product designs nowadays is justified.
