We hopped off the train only to jump onto the hard, cold, fear filled dirt. I looked ahead seeing only small building and a barb wired fence. Curiously, I asked my mom where we were. She responded with a falling tear and two words, “Concentration Camp”. I was curious towards these two words not understanding what they meant…

No one, especially Phineas Gage, could foresee the change that he would be struck with one faithful day in 1848. They stood on the grey-brown, dirt and gravel path. Shards of rock flew through the air, brushing against their dust and grime covered coats. The rumbles and pangs of machines roared through the air, drowning their ears in noise.

running, cause we're about to fight.” Their heads snapped around simultaneously. Odysseus looked at their empty, black eye sockets and decided it was time to run. As he was running he noticed a weird wall of fog in front of him. He stopped dead in his tracks. He knew for a fact that if he ran into the mist, he would go blind. If he turned around, the evil quartet of men would get him. As he said to Colborn, “We have nowhere to travel except forth.” Odysseus charged into the mist with his eyes…

the other two in that it shows very little of the emotional appeal, pathos. However it does show some pathos in using jockeys and a young boy, giving viewers the idea that Philip Morris cigarettes are for the young sporty type who would enjoy horse-racing. Where the ad really hinges itself is in establishing credibility through the use of ethos. Philip Morris uses the fact that their cigarettes have been throat tested and people in the medical profession agree with them as a reason for buyers to…

In his introduction to Permanence and Change, Hugh Dalziel Duncan wrote, “Burke demands that we become masters of many perspectives in order that we may understand one perspective” (Duncan xv). This statement does a sufficient job of explaining Kenneth Burke’s theory of dramatism to the casual observer of rhetoric. Today, it is second-nature for all 24-hour cable news channels and most people to take into account several diverse perspectives when dissecting events as trivial as celebrity…

Title: Bullicide Type: Short story As I scurried down the hallway, I was daunted, terrified, petrified. The danger was undoubtedly and irrevocably real. Despite my eyes facing downcast, the cheerleaders cackles rang in my ears-snickering at my social status, guffawing at my lack of friends, chortling at the fact that I was failing classes and had no hope in the future for anything. Encompassing me, students whispered and watched as I passed by and if I had spun to face the other way I would…

CHAPTER TWELVE Ascending From Cinder Over breakfast, which consisted of loaves of wheat bread and different shades of blueberry jam, we discussed our plan for the day. It was to be a kind of search, for the captains’ ship and then the dragons. I wolfed down my food, anxious to get started and by 9:00 a.m. Sirethiel time, we’d thanked Raven for her hospitality and left the castle.
