Throughout my academic career, I have taken and been successful in a large number of English classes. In high school, my writing followed an academic format, mostly writing towards a prompt. Although I was able to gain writing practice, I never received a large amount of feedback that I could use to help myself in the future. Similarly, when I started college I practiced different forms of academic writing, structured around a prompt and focused on the end goal of a good grade. However, in…
In comparing and contrasting the presentation of the self through Erving Goffman’s The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life to Max Weber’s Bureaucracy and The Types of Legitimate Domination, they portray how one’s own self is shaped by society and to what extent people are free from society. As Weber tends to look at how hierarchies are impacted by the institutions of society and the leaders that are conditioned to fill those roles, Erving Goffman takes a unique perspective on the formation…
Romeo and Juliet is one of the most popular tragedies of all time. The author, Lois Kerschen, analyzed the text more thoroughly in her critical essay on Romeo and Juliet and concluded that they are doomed due to their own character flaws. Kerschen used rhetorical strategies in her argument like the appeal to authority, logos, and transition words. However, she did not include enough information to support her claim. In her argument, Lois began with a very strong hook and then stated her claim.…

From a teacher’s standpoint, Courtney feels that the Common Core places a lot of pressure for teachers…
Just What Is It That Makes Today’s America So Different? is based off Richard Hamilton’s style of collage. Specifically, the work that first inspired it was Hamilton’s Just What Is It That Makes Today’s Homes So Different, So Appealing? from 1956, which parodied advertising images (Usborne 112). Hamilton’s style was attractive because it has a clear voice about American advertising and what Americans are attracted to or reeled in to like. So many of the things that are advertised today or are…
Evidently, religious intervention brings a sense of coherence, hope, and significance to an older person’s existence, and enables him or her to transcend the losses of everyday living. There seems to be little doubt that the powerful effects of religious intervention among older people go far beyond just feeling good: it seems that religion, by offering a sense of meaning, control, and self-esteem, helps in coping with the stress of old age and in supporting an optimistic outlook. This, in turn,…
(Cermak, 1976). The atmosphere close to the ground surface poses multiple obstructions, hence higher turbulence intensity. As we go higher in the atmosphere, the surface obstructions reduce, and hence the turbulence reduces. This sets the wind to coherence, which induces the vortex shedding. Hence, as the structures’ height increases, their vulnerability to adverse effects of wind increases. To prevent this phenomena, structural modifications which introduces turbulence have to be incorporated.…
First of all, woodworms or similar insects play an important role since they are present in nearly every story. After the first chapter, which is narrated by a woodworm, woodworms are prosecuted for having destroyed the Bishop’s throne in chapter 3 (62f).

The fifth chapter concludes with the remark that woodworms are living in the frame of Géricault’s painting…
