Verbal Phrases+Picture Story=THIS

The child learned so much from just sitting there in the her Grandmama's living room. She closed her eyes and let her grandmothers husky voice create pictures in her mind. The smell of baking cookies swirled in the air and the cool air of the air conditioner made the moment all the more wonderful for her. She loved visiting her Grandmama, she always had so many stories to tell, one always more enthralling than the last.Though sometimes she was angry with her parents about leaving for the city so much, she did'nt mind spending the day with her Grandmama. As a matter of fact, she hated it when she had to go home. She listened intently and soon everything changed. The child no longer felt the cool ari conditioner but the warmth of the sun and a cool breeze. She didn't hear the hum of the icebox, but an a distant voice shouting out words. She saw many people, mostly of color, gathered around the Washington Monument and looking forward listening the shouting words. It took a while for the child to understand what picture her Grandmama's voice had created this time, but she soon realized that she had transported her back into time, into a very historic moment. A smile broke out across her face and listened to the speech of Martin Luther King Jr. All at once the scene disappeared before her and she was back in her Grandmama's living room and the cool air conditioner, the smell of baking cookies, the soft leather beneath her, were all back. All she could do was sit smiling at her grandmother, just as the door opened and the child's Mama walked into the living room.

Compare and Contrast

Modern Times Printer Vs. Colonial Times Printer
Times have changed greatly, especially since we have entered the computer age. Do you know what it was like way back in the Colonial times? Do you think that you can live without your cell phone, or your computer, or your car? Back then they didn’t have those things and had to do without. Here’s something to think about, do you know how in the morning, your newspaper is there? Do you ever wonder how it is made? By computers of course!
In Colonial times a printer was much different from the ones we have today. Theirs had small metal letters covered with ink, and when they pressed the button the letters would press against the paper and there you have your words. Today all you have to do is type the stories into the computer and press print. The computer did everything else. Another large difference is the people. The printer was the person that typed the story, but today the person who types the story is a reporter and they used a computerized printer to print out their work.
But there are some similarities too. The stories themselves are written by a person, and both printers (not the person) require ink to print the words. People still have to go out and find a story to report to the people of the town as well. Even though their times may be very different from ours, without their inventions we wouldn’t have what we have today.
