Due to lack of attention on driving Stevens plowed into an Enterprise Rental Vehicle that was sitting in the parking lot, which was followed by his fourth ticket in four years from cell phone use while driving. Now days we have more to do in a day than we can actually get done. So when we are driving we are trying to accomplish things such as eating or making dinner plans on the phone. Two of the biggest people that multitask are business people and mom with children who can’t take care of themselves especially toddlers. A natural response for a mother is to do everything their child ask for and needs. Mom should get their child in with everything they could need so that they can focus on the road. A lot of society thinks that they are above the law and the rules don’t apply to them. Multitasking while driving can be considered just as dangerous as driving intoxicated (Kiesbye). As we can see Teens are not the only drivers that cause problems on the roadways. We need to stop thinking it is only teens because all ages are guilty of being a distracted driver in some type of way. I think something needs to be done to improve safety on the roadways. Maybe cars can come out with something that prevents the driver from using his or her phone. Should cops start getting stricter about cell phone use behind…

My Access #2 There could be a lot of meanings to the quote by Colin Wilson. There could be different experiences, and also some different views on what the quote is trying to tell us. Many people might not understand the quote because they don’t know what it’s like to actually come back from failure because they had everything given to them. What I get from the quote by Colin Wilson is that average humans are used to being in some bad situations because they don’t want to try their hardest. I…

Within the picture before me, I see myself, dressed in all black; black dress shoes, black pants, a black button-down shirt with a sleek black tie, a black coat, black gloves, a black ski mask, and a black fedora to complete the persona. Frightening faces sat taped over the panes of glass around the porch lights, their eyes glowing as the light passed through, a red beacon rotated about, casting shadows across our lawn with each pass, and eerie music played loudly, drifting through the air into…

Taking your AP Composition English class has been a frightening yet successful challenge. Personally I have always struggled with the English language since it is not my native language. Freshman year I was denied into the honors English program as was the case sophomore year. In my college prep classes I noticed I was not making any noticeable gains, so that was when I realized I had to challenge myself by taking your course. The rumors stated by current seniors made the class seem impossible.…

successfully captures the audiences’ attention. Thus, when writing any story—script, journal article, press release, etc.—the opening sentence should immediately gain the attention of the reader. When looking at the assignments for this unit, initially, I did not know what a press release was or how to construct it; however, after viewing and reading the provided materials on fashioning a press release, I believe, I gained a better understanding of the concept and a strong grasp on writing…

the press shows off its prowess by publicly demoralizing individuals within the society. The press publishes articles with false stories that tarnish out the image and dignity. The press misrepresents the truth by showing the public that Katharina engages casually in sexual activities and that she is of an improper behavior when in fact she is quite the opposite. In the film, the actual Katharina is nicknamed by her friends us "the nun", an indication of her being the opposite (Zipes, 1977). The…

In 1451, a goldsmith from Mainz, Germany, named Johann Gutenberg, came up with a novel way to print material much more efficiently and quickly than the scribes who were common at the time. His new method, called the printing press, featured movable type and served as the precursor to the mammoth presses used to print millions of newspapers, magazines, and books. His new methods made books more widely available throughout Europe, and they began to be published in the vernacular. This also…

manuscript and print culture, and that tradition is associated with the act of writing, transferring the product of the human intellect and imagination on a tangible that will carry it to distant places and distant times. The book as we know it extends past the life of its author the life of its language, it was written, and the style of art of its content. An Analyses of Greenblatt’s the swerve argues that the defiance of religion is what leads to the change from manuscript culture to print…

2. Defend the following statement: The printing press ultimately changed human society in many ways starting in the Renaissance. The Renaissance was a period of rebirth in Europe, and it was a period of inventions as well. One of the most important inventions that changed Europe and the entire world was the printing press created by Johannes Gutenberg in the 1440’s. The printing press allowed the production of much more books, so much more people was able to get them. In order to print the…
