Demonstrative

Macbeth “violates” her greatest duty by “urging” this crime and, thus, is at the center of its execution (Klein 168). Feeling the slightest inklings of regret, she begins by preemptively separating herself from the average person by using the demonstrative pronoun, “that.” Attempting to fortify this separation, the Lady tries to contrast the effect of alcohol on others, “drunk,” with alcohol’s effect on her, “bold”; however, these two effects are nearly one and the same. This weak contrast…

some research of my own to learn more about the topic at hand. My goal as a reporter is to establish credibility on the subject and be able to project confidence to the audience (Wenger and Potter, 2015). According to Wenger and Potter (2015), demonstrative stand-ups should demonstrate or teach something new to the audience rather than just inform them about it. These are the following ways I would tackle the assigned cover story: A) THE INFORMATION SEGMENT Again conducting research here is…

The Appalachian English (AE) dialect has changed over time. AE developed in the 1700s when Scottish-Irish immigrants settled in the cheap, mountainous territory that makes up the Appalachian Mountains. Isolated from the outside world for centuries, the Appalachian people spoke a distinct dialect that became known as AE. Unique features characterize the speech in Appalachia; the use of these features is fading as the area becomes less isolated. Migration and advances in technology have played…

Families in Crisis The Horse Whisperer (Redford & Markey, 1998) portrays the trauma of Grace, an adolescent girl, and her horse, Pilgrim, who survive serious injuries after being hit by a semi-truck. Her best friend dies in the accident, as does her friend’s horse. The physical and emotional injuries extend far beyond just Grace; the entire family is impacted by the trauma. Emotional Experience As the film progressed to the traumatic scene, I felt anxiety escalating and all of my senses were…

E pluribus unum—out of many, one. This is the motto of the United States of America, a nation that prides itself with democratic characteristics such as individual rights, community through patriotism, freedom, and equality for all. However, these concepts are just ideals as individualism and community contradict each other as well as freedom and equality, and historically America has had difficulty balancing these ideals. One of Walt Whitman poems preaches the possibility that these concepts…

In the poems I have studied writes have explored human mortality from differing perspectives and focusing on different ideas and issues. For example, in “Mother in a refugee camp”, Chinua Achebe explores the profound love between mother and child as well as the theme of premature death in a graphic and violent way. Furthermore in a different way, Carol Ann Duffy in “War Photographer”, focuses on the necessity of exploring the reality of what goes on in the world as well as the traumatic impacts…

Terrorism is defined as “the use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal”(Merriam-Webster,1). With devastating results, terrorism is a major issue that threatens the overall western way of life. To work towards a solution to terrorism and the devastating results that it creates, the Western World must help stabilize countries associated with terrorist networks. To cut off the foundation of terrorism, the west must first enhance education…

melodramatic at times (page 9). The quip on page 19 about the long “schvantzschtooker” sounds offensive (asking if he’s black). Tension is another area to review. Tension needs to be enhanced. By making the central characters (Barnes and Fishbein) more demonstrative and less static, you will draw us in to their private worlds and fears. To create tension, there needs to be a strong goal that the protagonist tries to achieve. Tension is created by his attempts to achieve this goal, but…

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., born on January 15, 1929, grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, the heart of the racist south of the United States. King, throughout history, is known as the leader of the Civil Rights movement with his peaceful protests and marches, and powerful voice during his speeches. But growing up the son of a pastor, he was sensitive kid in the comfortable middle class of African Americans, but was well aware of the Jim Crow laws that separated him and other black people from the…

In the late fifth century B.C, the Greek philosopher Plato defined knowledge as “justified, true belief”. This proclamation assumes knowledge must be justified through ways of knowing in order to be classified as knowledge . So if for example a piece of information is perceived through sense perception such as the equation 1+1=2, it must then pass through a process of rational analysis before it can be classified as knowledge ( one may justify this by taking one unit of a facet and adding…
