ME: Hello! I’m Ajay, one of the associates here, how are you?
CX: Good. I’m Alex, nice to meet you.
ME: Is there anything I can help you with? Are you looking for anything in particular?
CX: Just looking at some of the Canada Goose jackets you guys have out.
ME: Well you’ve got great taste! Let me ask you, why Canada Goose specifically?
CX: Some buddies and me were planning on going ice fishing next week.
ME: Oh no kidding! Where you guys headed?
CX: A cottage all the way up in Innisfil.
ME: You do a lot of ice fishing?

CX: Well hold on now…I’m not quite convinced.
ME: Oh. What exactly is it that you’re not convinced about?
CX: It’s a big investment. I just need to be sure I get the perfect jacket.

And since you’re going to be fishing, it has elbow articulation for greater movement.

CX: Yeah but not with those features you just mentioned.
ME: Well let me ask you this, how often do you buy jackets?

    I was extremely excited to watch Brooklyn College’s rendition of Speech and Debate. The reasoning behind my excitement was that whilst reading the play written by Stephan Karam, I quickly realized that it’s humor and authenticity were aspects that I typically enjoy to a great extent in stories, whether that be in the form of a television show, movie, or play. I also felt that I was readily prepared to watch the show meticulously and focus on its acting and casting aspects. I chose the acting facet of the production to be the focal point of my review yet again because I understand that I could have pushed further and been more detail oriented when writing my previous review. Brooklyn College’s Speech and Debate had a small cast of four actors.…

    I hate it when I have prepared, a carefully crafted soliloquy, a sentiment of pure splendor, a plethora of plentiful thought, and my script is discard within seconds because the conversation takes a detour. Conversations are inimitable and completely wild. They roam from topic to topic without a glance at the well written thoughts I have so tedious prepare the night before. When I reach a place to interject a bit of my rehearsed dialogue, it comes unnatural and the conversation withers within seconds. This only contributes to the fascination and passion I have for writing.…

    The national curriculum in England for Science (2014) intends that pupils should be able ‘to describe associated processes and key characteristics in common language using technical terminology accurately’ (Scholastic, 2013). Children are required to use discussion to work together to enhance their ideas and address any misconceptions they have. Earle and Serret (2015: 119) have put forward ways in which we as teachers can ‘…encourage children to participate in a science-based dialogue’. We must hook them into the lesson using a stimulus like a giant footprint (Earle and Serret, 2015). We must give children time to think and someone to talk to (Earle and Serret, 2015) using think, pair, share for example.…

    During the play, an important discussion between Biff, Linda, and Happy occurs regarding the paternal alpha figure in the play, Willy. Prior to this discussion Willy displays himself as a hardworking, forgetful, and prided man.

There are many underlying factors that lead to why Willy has created this gossip between his kin, the concealment of the truth, and the solitude of Biff’s emotions. All of this can be scientifically traced back to the physiological impact of the Stock Market crash of 2008 and the stereotypes of its influence.…
