Being raised in a small town Tsorona, Eritrea was totally incomparable than living in Houston, Texas. Tsorona was a very rural place. The houses were made of clay. There was not any roads cars can go through, in fact people rarely see cars. It was not urbanized as my new home Houston. Houston was full of tall buildings that can touch the sky. The roads were full of highways, traffic lights, and many cars! There were a lot of apartments as well as magnificent houses. However, apartments and…

A virtual unrest happened in the formation of craftsmanship amid the time of the Upper Paleolithic in Europe.

For example, when someone asks how I’m doing I’ll say: “Oh swell” or “Quite good”. Some people find this endearing, and others find it, well, as I’ve said about other silly quirks, weird. These are some weird colloquialisms that are typical to hear when you spend a lot of time around me. Finally, we get to the weirdest quirk of all: (drumroll please….) I tap dance when I’m nervous. Normally before a presentation of some sort, but in general it happens when I’m…

Appeal to Pathos: Examples: “You will surely make your dear mother happy should you make her breakfast.” “When you finally leave for college, I will be the only child left.

The last one left, that’s me. ...College awaits, no?” “Following your arrival to the party, you will promptly sign-up at the toll booth so that you may pay your admission. Those who do not will find themselves with a nice…

Caveat Emptor, or the colloquialism “buyer beware” is the idea that it is the responsibility of the purchaser of a buyer of a good or service to determine its value and fitness for use. If we use this principle to determine responsibility, we can clearly see that Stella Liebeck alone…

Professional athletics has been an important part of the American culture for quite a long time. Sports are what separates this nation from any other nation in the world. Given the viewership, I would like to focus on the National Football League. The National Football League is a multi-billion dollar business that is projected to reach $13 Billion in 2016 (Forbes).

Both men worshipped Hermia, asking for her acknowledgement, and…
