    The first article, “The Onion's Tips for Applying to College”, makes fun of the college application process and how college can be very selective, making them more likely to accept those with higher grades or interesting activities participated in. Such as, having “Boring last names will put your application on the bottom of the pile.” (Bolton).

    “Weasel Words: The Art of Saying Nothing at All,” by William Lutz, gives a brief overlook about how advertisers present their products to the public. What many advertisers like to do is use many words along with their product to make it into something that is not true at all. The use of Weasel Words is a powerful tool to draw the attention of the buyer. When the advertisers use the words, such as, “New and Improved,” or “Acts fast,” it would cause you to buy it without actually knowing what is “New and Improved,” or if it actually, “Acts Fast.” This is a huge problem today because the advertisers are using little details to completely manipulate someone into buying their product.…

As an ex-slave autobiographer, Douglass was traveling a road already well-worn by the accepted conventions of his day for both autobiographies and slave narratives.…
