Quiet Kill

Now it’s time to open my eyes and see you for what you really are: a teabag filled with sawdust. There is no time like the present, if you know what I mean. There’s a lot brewing that will soon come to a boil, or even boil over. I am sure there are many investors out there looking to get with someone of your caliber.”
Butcher said, “It’s not that simple.”
“What do you mean it’s not that—?”
“It’s just that. I can’t afford to—”
“You can’t what? Stop your lying partner.”
“That’s another thing.”
“What?”
“What? You got too much wax in your ears that you can’t hear me. We are not partners anymore.” The thought struck him and caused him to ponder if society was now in an era characterized by greed and dime-store philosophy.

    In Pour Your Heart Into It, Howard Schultz uses many rhetorical appeals to communicate with his audience. He uses ethos as he draws from reliable sources to support his claims. For example, “While Wall Street has taught me a lot, its most enduring lesson is an understanding of just how artificial a stock price is. It's all too easy to regard it as the true value of your company, and even the value of yourself” (Schultz 195). Schultz also frequently presents pathos in his memoir.…

    No one is able to fully understand what it is like to lose one of your senses until it happens. It is a natural and common occurrence for humans to wonder and attempt to describe what this may be like. People that have lost their hearing lose many things that others often take for granted, but is it possible that the silence could be enlightening? Joanne Diaz offers her opinion on this subject in “On My Father’s Loss of Hearing.” She conveys her theme of “love hurts much less in [deafness’] serenity” (Diaz line 28) through vivid imagery, simile, and tone.…

    Despite his struggles with the moral responsibility, Rick appears to be morally conflicted the whole novel while he simply continues to act in our standards of immoral. The laws of the world that Rick lives in does not reflect the typical laws that readers would have experienced in their own lives. The murdering of androids is not seen as a morally corrupt act to do; it is accepted and seen as necessary. Rick details this when he says, “In retiring—i.e., killing—an andy, he did not violate the rule of life laid down by Mercer. You shall kill only the killers, Mercer had told them the year empathy boxes first appeared on Earth” (Dick 21).…

    The purpose for writing this report is to analyze one of the characters from the book Unwind by Neil Shusterman. The character I chose to analyze was the main character Connor. Connor is a very brave and independent person, and that is a common theme that I got out of this book while I read it. He escaped his unwinding, shot a cop with his own tranquilizer gun, and from there proceeded to live a free life so he wouldn’t have to be unwound. Connor is also a very clever and sly person.…

    Kwame Appiah, author of Cosmopolitanism, wrote in his chapter, “Making Conversation” and “The Primacy of Practice”, about his idea of what cosmopolitanism means and how it has or can help our society. The definition inferred from the reading is that people need to have conversation to be exposed to the different points of view that others may have. People do not necessarily have to agree with them about anything they just have to respect it and know that it is another point of view. Appiah does not try to create controversy within the examples he gives but rather tries to just explain what has happened in a general sense and does not chose a side to agree or disagree with. It is important that he stays neutral because it would cause people…
