may as well be my co-workers. I prefer to be on an ol' barstool, listening to hair metal beside some 60-year-old divorcé. He's doesn't push a revamped LinkedIn profile or a lifestyle brand. He's authentic, and he abounds in dive bars, the perfect place for a young artist looking for a story to tell. Best yet, he comes in countless shapes and sizes. Here are a few that I've encountered in my imbibing (and how they can inspire you to write the next Great American novel). The Grumpy Drunk…
Keith Basso, in Wisdom Sits in Places, identified that “place-making” is the construction of a “place-world” as culture activity. He highlighted that “we are, in a sense, the place-worlds we imagine” (Basso 1996: 7). They can either have descriptive names or commemorative names. Just as specific places are meaningful to the Western Apache, such as “Big Cottonwood Trees Stand Here And There,” “Coarse-Textured Rocks Lie Above In A Compact Cluster,” and “Men Stand Above Here And There,” the…
affect on our decisions. In my opinion, the decisions of the officers in the Sterling case exhibited are both descriptive, and subjunctive norms. Descriptive norms are defined in the notes as, “A perception of what is commonly done or believed.” Because police brutality of white officers against African Americans is so common right now in our society, I would argue that it has become a descriptive norm in many cases. To me, that is an unfortunate part of the society that we are living in right…
Many of these descriptive words connote feelings of danger or inequality and give off the impression that Steve isn’t quite human in the eyes of others. For example, when Steve is writing a diary entry he remembers a certain name that the prosecution called him: “I’ll call…
first place that the story takes place in is London. Alyssa travels there with her father so he can regain his memories on the memory train. After Her father regains his memories they head to the gate of the looking glass world, which is also london. In the story it's raining in London. That's all the author really mentions about london. The atmosphere of london seems frantic because Alyssa and her father are trying to get to the looking glass world gate as soon as they can. Another place the…
face in such a pretty room makes me think why is she so sad? However, when I read your descriptive analysis I figure out about the woman’s background and her struggles that clear out my questions about that sad face. Now I understand the artist’s intention behind creating this image. The artist wanted us to see how she was an American artist but from Nigeria and her hardships while growing up in a different place. How hard it was for her to embrace her culture born along with the culture where…
Farms for a street hockey event. The whole high school Gorham ice hockey team, and Jonah, Aidan, Tyler, Camden, and I went to play for a special olympics event. I had no idea what Pineland farms was, or even existed until then. Pineland Farms was a place where parents send their kids with special needs to “cure” them. It was basically a prison for them. It was very similar to what happened to the special needs people in the great depression. After the rules changed, They changed the whole thing…
expansion of sensory detail through the revisions I made of my writings. In my revised memoir version, I have examples of my immense improvement in sensory detail use, including, “....Imagine yourself being a small animal, desperately trying to find a place to hide from these huge machines,…

One of Dove’s most popular poems is Daystar in which she creates a persona which describes the life of being a mother and a wife. In the poem Daystar, the unnamed persona seeks solitude while she…
A world that is increasingly becoming unstable as time goes by because of human activity, it would seem logical for humanity to come together and form a solution to stopping something that is one day going to be extremely chaotic.Tesla motors is more than a car company, it 's a technology company. They base most of their revenue from cars and batteries but are starting to really enter a new bracket as an environmentalist company as well. They created plan which involved the creation of an…
