the 2016 article, “Children’s TV Has a Representation Problem” by current writer and filmmaker for Huffington Post Will Bryson, I had many thoughts on what he was saying. I agree with his statement that when two same-sex characters trying to have some type of romantic relationship in kids TV the networks automatically see this relationship as “salacious and inappropriate” like Bryson says. Even though I agree with this, I have to disagree with him on the fact that children TV isn’t getting…

The Come Up of Cool: "Where Words Come From" In "Where Words Come From," Anglo-American author, Bill Bryson goes into thorough detail about words and how they were formed. He sets up five categories in which he chooses to better discuss the range of word origins and with these categories comprehension of a word's origin, meanings and significance in present day life becomes easier to understand. A popular word that one may come across at one point or another is the word cool. This well known…

Zzzzzzzz zzz zzzzzzzz zzz… Leah sluggishly woke up from her slumber to the sound of her phone vibrating against her wooden side table. Still bleary eyed, she picked up the phone. There was some muffled voices that she could not distinguish. "Hello?" Leah mumbled The voices stopped, and all that could be heard was heavy breathing. In her dazed and confused state she asked, “Who is this?” No reply. The familiarity of the situation hits Leah, as she starts to come to her senses and sees the dull…

place, dictionaries with standardized and regulated words will help us maintain “conventions of usage” (Bryson, 1990, p.151). “We must agree to spell cat c-a-t and not e-l-e-p-h-a-n-t, and we must agree that by that word we mean a small furry quadruped that goes meow and sits comfortably on one’s lap and not a large lumbering beast that grows tusks and is exceeding difficult to housebreak” (Bryson, 1990, p.150). We seem to have so many names for the same items. Sub sandwich’s can be called…

Some of Shakespeare’s works have directly affected the world as we know it today. Author Bill Bryson notes, “He coined - or, to be carefully precise, made the first recorded use of - 2,035 words, and interestingly he indulged the practice from the very outset of his career.” (Bryson 148). This quote connects because it shows how much Shakespeare attributed to the English language, one of the most used languages today. When the world attempted…

“The World as Stage” by Bill Bryson is a book that supposedly discusses William Shakespeare, world renown play and sonnet writer. It seems to me that it is more of a 16th century history book. One of the keys to writing an impeccable essay is an introduction that pulls one in. It is almost impossible to do that with this subject’s lackluster. One of Bryson’s first personal statements of “The World as Stage” is his claim that the book was not written to fill the overflowing bookshelf of…

Bryson went on to discuss how Charles Darwin was the person that discovered natural selection, and it also went on to discuss just how Darwin made these observations. Two of the most famous stories of Darwin are when he observed Finches and the structure…

is that it is either genuine or not. In the event that it is genuine, then the end of one's life is a basic end. In the event that it is not genuine, then the end of one's exemplified life is not genuine death, but rather a gateway to another life (Bryson, 2015). This traditional demeanor of humanized individuals towards demise is made still more striking by our complete breakdown at the passing of a man firmly identified with us. My believe and trust in religion was based on fear of death and…
