We humans have something that makes us tick, we have emotions, we communicate with one another, and we learn whether it’s a school or from our mistakes or from each other, sometimes we even work in small groups to accomplish a task, even the corvids. Choosing my resource “Meet the Bird Brainiacs: American Crow” by Kat McGowan and my personal experiences will show why…

The clock begins to grow louder and louder Tick Tick Tick… And then I hear “Carrie?”, I awake from my daze and shakily make my way to a woman standing in royal blue scrubs. The woman introduces herself as Emily and she tells me she is a nurse. In the time it took for the other nursing staff to completely prep me for surgery, she had taken my anxiety away, she…

front of them, or they fail to enlarge their world and perish. Using the tools and ideas of Jacob von Uexkell, we will look at the gray-cub who becomes White Fang and see the necessary reworking of his reality as he grows and adapts. Like Uexkell’s tick, the gray cub is born blind, and only through “the necessity of learning and living and doing that brings experience” (London, 144), is he able to leave behind the shadowy world of his birth. Using the bio-semiotic processes available to him and…

My quivering body had found the courage to finally approach the bully. As I started to engage in a conversation with him,…

also said that “we are sitting time bomb” referring to how schools are giving students to much homework for them to cope with. The phrase “ticking time bomb” makes the readers feel as if this is a bigger problem than it may actually be. Bombs tick, tick, tick until the explode; that is what Vicki is emphasizing about students’ stress levels. Their stress will build, and build, and build until the students can’t take it any longer. Everything caves in on them. She used charged phrases to make the…

I hope to achieve this by interning in a research lab…

Tick, tick, tick. The clock strikes 6:00 p.m. Your coach yells “On the line!”. You take a deep breath and wipe the sweat off your face as you walk to the line. You know you aren’t getting out of this gym for at least another 30 minutes. Coaches pound hours of practice into athletes’ brains. Student athletes struggle with this everyday of their lives. Adults do not realize how much pressure is put on them. They do get mentally stressed. They do not have a hundred hours in a day. They need to keep…
