Jacob Tellas AP English Wang Restarted on 10/3/16 Ghosts With some knowledge of war, one can begin to appreciate Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried”. Tim O’Brien is a veteran, as a result, there are many things he takes for granted and does not tell us, making us wonder if it is fact or fiction. America’s involvement in the Vietnam war resulted from internal domestic politics rather than from a national spirit. The soldiers were disembodied from the war, just like ghosts. O’Brien uses syntactic illusion to express the idea of ghosts thoroughly but indirectly, as to further convey the sinister nature of war.…

There is no doubt that Watchmen is a graphic novel rich with intertextuality. Not only does Watchmen make references to other superhero comics by parodying popular heroes, such as Captain America as the Comedian and Superman as Dr. Manhattan, but Watchmen is full of internal intertextuality, from the newspapers and advertisements that litter the streets of New York to the personal files, publications, and mementos of the heroes in the novel. The most significant of these documents are the expository materials, particularly the books, which appear at the end of each chapter and allow the reader to view materials within the world of Watchmen. Often these materials are considered “extras” that add detail to the setting of the novel and allow Moore…
Farrakhan is an evil, evil man. And some argue his disgusting views are shared by many democrats. The entire situation is absolutely sickening, and White apparently endorses Farrakhan's comments and abhorrent line of thinking. Last week, White was busted cutting his trip short to the Holocaust Memorial Museum, walking out mid-tour without offering any explanation. Presumably, he was taking after Farrakhan and just couldn't stand to show an ounce of respect toward Jews.…
Throughout the article, many comments on Sandler’s remark were mentioned such as Meghan McCain’s. They used a more pathological approach revealing the McCain family’s offense to the statement, thus leading to the conclusion through persuasion that perhap Sandler should publicly apologize. On the contrary, they revealed the response from the deputy press secretary mentioning that punishing Sandler for her mockery would restrict people from allowing to speak their mind. This led to ethical questioning because citizens fall under the protection to freedom of speech in the first amendment. CNN’s article did not incorporate statements from press secretary Sarah Sanders compared to other news sources, nor did include why Sandler would make such joke.…
Nobody knows how the battle really started or who shot the first bullet because the us army tried to disarm a deaf person but we do know that this is a very important battle in native american history. We don't know why they thought that Sitting Bull was leading the ghost dance or even why they invaded our camp.

Colbert makes homophobia seem single-minded, sexists look like Neanderthals, censorship childish, and Racists as outdated and unwanted as the United States’ Postal Service. As I stated earlier satire is a complicated form of comedy, as an example the Stephen Colbert you have likely seen today on the Colbert Report is not actually what the man is like off camera. Though I know from news interviews of Colbert being out of character that he is Catholic, from the South, but is not conservative, obviously. (BIO, n.d) Colbert’s humor is viewed as liberal satire, meaning it makes conservatives look like uninformed idiots. Colbert is also known to rip on major slam talk show hosts like Bill O’Reilly, which make sense because Colbert created his character to be just as obnoxious as Bill O’Reilly…
