Complex-compound sentence

Throughout Jodi Arias’ interrogation with Detective Flores, Jodi displayed several obvious signs of deceit – even some pointed out by Flores himself. The most noticeable sign was her stalling mechanisms – it seemed like almost every sentence had one. Her explanations seemed far-fetched and her stories were all over the place. She also exhibited psychological repression – often claiming that she couldn’t remember things. Stalling Mechanisms Within the first 20 seconds of video four, Jodi utters…

This question gives us insightful information when combined with our other questions, as it can allow us to target customers based on the…

In the poem, “Those Winter Sundays”, Robert Hayden plays on various denotations of the word “office” to make clear that love often means taking on duties and responsibilities. The word appears in the last sentence of the poem and it’s ambiguous definition leaves the reader with room to interpret the word with various denotations: “What did I know, what did I know / of love’s austere and lonely offices?” (13-14). This ambiguity therefore holds a great deal of influence over the reading of the…

For my part of the project I have choose to interview four different people that are between third grade and sixth grade. There are four different people, two boys and two girls. In my paper I will only be talking about three of my interviews because one of them had very little responses. The reason why I have decided to choose young students is because my question for this project is, “Do boys and girls learn differently?” You may think that this is a very vague question however there are so…

I felt more anxious than before because the store was quite busy and crowded. Furthermore, I was more anxious about the other people, and wondered how many of the people would hear me. This made me reluctant about doing the pseudostuttering. My sentence I used was, “How much are the candles.” I prolonged on the “m” in “much,” and did a repetition on the “c” in “candles.” While I was stuttering, I avoided eye contact, and tilted my head down and forward as if to help assist me to get the word out…

Media, peers, and unrealistic ideas of fairy tales with happy endings lead society to hold high standards for men and their masculinity. In the film, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, John Ford demonstrates that Western societies often forced those roles onto males.

Morals relate to the person’s decision-making, either with confrontation or emotions about a situation, personal beliefs will be…

Fridman alludes to different global societies and academies in order to support his argument effectively. The most prominent is Harvard. He references…

Recently, news emerged that John Horner, a father of three, received the minimum sentence of 25 years in prison for illegally selling $1,800 worth of painkillers to a friend. This is an example of how minimum sentencing causes people to be punished disproportionately to their crimes. Aristotle would call this an inequity our justice system. He defines equity as a “rectification of the law where the law falls short by reason of its universality.” However, minimum sentencing does not allow room…
