Who would not want a pill that altered how your brain works, also rumored to be a squip, that was meant to make the person who consumes it cooler than they have ever been? Jeremy Heere is informed about this pill, known as a squip, so he knows he needs to get his hands on one in order to become one of the “cool kids” because he is nerdy and shy.

Back when all parables were created, society was strict and very much incompliant to different views, and the parables would create a moral standard in which would overcome society’s rigid rules. When used in context of today’s society, though, how relevant can these parables be to such a vastly different world? In accordance to David Brooks’ column from the New York Times, parables are still very relevant, for when it comes to the parable of the Prodigal Sons, Brooks defends the father within the story and compares the two sons to modern American social policy-making of today. The ideas Brooks provides, however, are flawed with hasty generalizations and black-and-white reasoning. To begin with, while providing comparisons to the sons within…

Daniel Pink, author of the book, Drive, claims that the outdated motivational method of carrots and sticks is no longer applicable to most of the world. Pink assures that the old motivational method makes a person’s job dull and ultimately boring, causing a person to not place much interest in his or her work and possibly affecting them mentally. He introduces us to a revolutionary idea of how a person could have their dwindling fire reignited so that a person could better their work environment and ultimately, their life and even their health. Pink calls his new method, Motivation 3.0, which encompasses three pillars for support which are; Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose. The trio is intended to fuel anybody who has a long or short term goal and it allows a person to not only better themselves, but continue to better themselves over the course of time.…
Aging, by itself, is a major change for people to adapt to in the later years of their lives, but what if one adds a divorce and finding out a key part of one’s life was basically all a charade. All these curveballs occur within a short time span of each other to the characters Grace and Frankie in the television show with the respective name.

The writer includes this in order to appeal to pathos. This outpouring of emotion from Proctor during this argument conveys a passionate and emotional tone. Through the use of rhetorical devices, Miller writes his play about unjustified oppression in response to the “Red Scare” taking place in the 1950s. Miller identified the Salem Witch trials as a parallel to the attacks of his time. He hoped that by presenting the past to the American people, the future would not continue to repeat…
Shakespeare’s tragedies are all built with protagonists that follow a similar pattern of a dramatic fall after a significant discovery or an anagnorisis. Anagnorisis, by definition, is a pivotal discovery made by the protagonist. That discovery can be a fatal flaw, such as Richard II discovering how his mismanagement has led to him being dethroned by Bolingbrook. It can also be the catalyst to revenge, such as Hamlet’s discovery of his father’s murder or Titus’ discovery of Tamora’s treachery. With all three protagonists, the anagnorisis is a trigger for a significant shift in their motivations and ideals.…
