“What the hell was that?” Cartman demanded. I shrug my shoulders as I continue to find coffee grounds and a coffee filter. Opening one of the many cabinets, I automatically see junk food. A sigh escapes from me, and I filter through the contents, hoping that this cabinet might have one of the materials I need. “Coffee, coffee, where would coffee be?” I mumble to myself, hoping that just by mentioning it somehow it will magically show up. “If I help you get coffee, will you tell me what that was about?” I stop pilfering and thought about it. Deciding that I don’t have anything to lose, I agreed and we both set out to find coffee. After looking around for half an hour, neither a filter or grounds was found. Being the coffee lover that I am, I refuse to function without it. I force Cartman to take me to the local coffee house, and thankfully it selled doughnuts as well. I was at awe with the many selections of doughnuts, seeing some that I never seen before and many that were my favorite. “Well, pick something so we can leave.” I could sense that he was irritated and didn’t care. Since he was buying, I thought that I would annoy him even more. I told the cashier what I wanted while Cartman was checking his phone. While the cashier was getting the doughnuts, I got Cartman’s attention and told him the total. “What the hell did you get that was $13.06?” Cartman exclaimed when he saw the total. I grinned while giving him the receipt. He looked it over before giving me a look…

This type of coffee pot was very popular before the invention of the automatic drip coffee makers which was around the 1970s (Coffee Percolator Explained). It has been said, according to Erin Meister, that the percolator was and is the beginning for more brewing techniques that have been…

successfully captures the audiences’ attention. Thus, when writing any story—script, journal article, press release, etc.—the opening sentence should immediately gain the attention of the reader. When looking at the assignments for this unit, initially, I did not know what a press release was or how to construct it; however, after viewing and reading the provided materials on fashioning a press release, I believe, I gained a better understanding of the concept and a strong grasp on writing…

the press shows off its prowess by publicly demoralizing individuals within the society. The press publishes articles with false stories that tarnish out the image and dignity. The press misrepresents the truth by showing the public that Katharina engages casually in sexual activities and that she is of an improper behavior when in fact she is quite the opposite. In the film, the actual Katharina is nicknamed by her friends us "the nun", an indication of her being the opposite (Zipes, 1977). The…

His new methods made books more widely available throughout Europe, and they began to be published in the vernacular. This also contributed to the rapid spread of standardized, accurate information,…
