    While researching the topic of over-consumption, my colleagues and I gathered reliable information from websites, documents, books, and graphs in order to gain knowledge about over-consumption. These authors wrote about the positive and negative effects of all types of over-consumption, and they used studies to provide information that supports their stand on the topic. However, we collected data through trusted databases such as Gale, summarized important information, and cited each source in the works cited section of the paper. We continued to look for other connections to our topic including the novel 1984, written by George Orwell, and the video game Fall-Out.…

    The Accuracy of Postman’s Prediction As technology continues to advance in research and complexity, the fear of security increases with it. With recent reports of the NSA and big corporations spying on Americans and customers, one can believe that society is becoming Orwellian.

    As many of my friends at Marquette had never been to a Milwaukee Bucks game, I suggested that we went to one as a group. Since everyone was excited by the idea, we went to the next pre-season game. The game was between the Bucks and Pistons. I was extremely excited to go to this game in particular, as I had not been to a game since this spring. Like the college students we are, we got the nosebleed seats, as one can see in the attached photos, but it is still pretty easy to see the action when a lot of the players are 7 feet tall.…

    In the story, George Orwell narrates the acts of inhumanity he experienced in Burma. To achieve the intent of presenting the inner conflict posed to an imperial police officer during the time, the author employs the use of autobiographical narrative to capture the reader’s attention. To ascertain the British colonial rule over the Burmese civilians and their resources, the author contends that no Burmese civilian was allowed during his time of service to own a gun. From the narrative, it is apparently true to say that the author was not in any way comfortable with his job, this is well evident when the author articulates that “all I knew was that I was stuck between my hatred of the empire I served and my rage against the evil-spirited little beasts who tried to make my job impossible”. (Orwell 2844).…

At one point, the narrator looks back to the crowd of natives behind him and states “I looked at the sea of yellow faces above the garish clothes-faces all happy and excited over this bit of fun” The fact that he compared the crowd of natives to a ravaging sea shows a sense of power behind the façade of the natives. Over the course of the story, Orwell feels pressured to kill the elephant. While deciding whether to kill the elephant or not, Orwell realizes that “A white man mustn't be frightened in front of "natives"; and so, in general, he isn't frightened.”…
