Apostrophe

A relationship between any two people can have very different meanings. In a father to child relationship, there is a deep and complicated love. A relationship between a father and child has a special bond because of the love and affection for one another. Fathers are the foundation to a structured family. However, there are times when a relationship turns unhealthy or bad because there is no understanding, a lack of communication, and a feeling of distance. In “Those Winter Sundays,” by Robert…

Technology is the most argued topic of this generation. Many may consider technology to be getting more and more powerful, without signs of slowing down. While technology is growing and becoming revolutionized, some may see that as a bad thing rather than good. “What new technology does is create new opportunities to do a job that customers want to be done.” Tim O’Reilly explains that we can see technology as providing opportunities that we have never dreamt of fulfilling before. “Does…

While she does not say what the questions were she does talk about their results: she found that those who owned cell phones with text capability (not those who necessarily used it, just had it) had more grammatical errors such as “leaving apostrophes out of contractions”, using “r” instead of “are”, and providing shorter answers than those whose cell phones did not have texting capabilities. While she does talk a lot about grammar she does not mention how the content of the answers of those…

Writing novel has been my hobby since I was in ninth grade. I would spend both day and night plotting and creating stories. By seeing my enthusiasm for writing, a teacher recommended me to write for my high school magazine. This opportunity brought me to another level; I discovered myself as someone who loves to leave a short message or advice for my article readers. Moreover, I was also taught how to write different types of essays in my own language, as a Cambodian who uses English as her…

Albert Einstein once said "I fear the day when technology over laps with humanity the world will only have a generation of idiots." Now we are in a generation where the serious problem is not whether machines think but whether men do. Easy questions like what is life? Is being googled by many. Now a days it is not that we use technology but technology is using us, and controlling us. There are many arguments surrounded technology and ----- The conversation occurring around this topic is----…

Stretching across nearly all realms of Romanticism is the idea that individual freedom and experiences incite the imagination. Samuel Taylor Coleridge explicitly expresses this query of thought in his poem “This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison.” In addition to Coleridge, many other members of the Romantic movement also engaged in imagination-centered writing. Conversely, the Enlightenment movement opposed this emphasis on imagination, and instead, the Enlightenment movement valued scientific…

1 “I have no accurate knowledge of my age… the white children could tell their ages.” (Douglass 1) Douglass seems to see this as a disadvantage and goes on to say how it made him feel unidentified in a way, not knowing his own age. He also feels and notes the separation between him and the white children. This means maybe if the white children didn’t know their ages then maybe Douglass wouldn’t feel so doubtful about his identity. Maybe age would be none but a trivial number to him. Douglass…

Writing has always been quite the task for me, and never a very enjoyable one at that. Up until college the only scholarly writing I was exposed to was in high school, and even that I would have considered as mediocre. For me, English classes were an easy A+ and so I never took writing that seriously. As a writer I have my strengths and weaknesses, but I do not feel as confident in my strengths as I do my weaknesses. I think I am good with grammar and mechanics, but when it comes to time…

This inspired him to write his poem “Mont Blanc” which is composed of five stanzas in irregular rhymed iambic pentameter. Shelley wrote the ode in apostrophe to depict nature as conscious, alive, and dynamic. In this self-aware manner of constructing nature, Shelley carefully intersperses his abstractions about the external world and the poetic mind, suggesting that each affects the other. In addition…

Starting with line one, the speaker has given America all he has got and he gets nothing in return. Ginsberg is very clever as he uses an apostrophe, addressing the country of America and its millions of people, as an idea. He is addressing America as one single person. The speaker is extremely frustrated and feels he has worked so hard to do well for his country and gets nothing for his accomplishments…
