Exclamation

I’ve been saying “okay, listen” to start my sentences for about a year now and “are you safe?” came into being from my weariness concerning the phrase “are you okay?” And now, as I listen in on conversations with my peers, I hear frequent exclamations of “OKAY, LISTEN!” and the placating sounds of “are you safe?” To outsiders, it seems like these weird culty things we all say (that are pretty nonsensical) serve no purpose other than to demonstrate our like-mindedness. However, there is real…

How does this music make you feel? What do you think of the music being played? What is your mind telling you? What is your heart telling you? These questions are some of the most frequently asked questions in not only the music world, but also in the world itself. Such questions categorize your emotions, identity, and aesthetics into two categories: how you mentally and emotionally interact towards one thing or the other. Such inquiries demonstrate the separate complexities of the mind and the…

Learning is not easy; to learn something, it takes time and effort. We tend to learn things by our interest, also our learning styles, which we are depended upon. Everyone has different types of learning styles and those learning styles vary among each individual. We can have multiple interests as well as; we can also have multiple learning styles too. The Multiple Intelligences theory proposed by Howard Gardner has 8 multiple intelligences; visual (prefers to see things), verbal/linguistic…

“Curiouser and curiouser!” is the exclamation Alice cries out as she witnesses the absurdities of Wonderland, a magical and frightening, dream world (Carroll 8). It is a statement all readers can certainly agree with as Alice makes her way through a plethora of different, but equally disturbing settings. Her journey begins simply enough at the bank of a river with her sister, when out of the blue, a white, clothed, talking* rabbit hops past her. Alice hastily follows it right into an…

“Vuelta de Paseo” is from the collection, “Poeta en Nueva York” which was published posthumously in 1940. The work is divided into ten major sections of uneven length. “Vuelta de Paseo” is the first poem in the first section, “Poemas de la soledad en columbia”. This section consists of four poems in total. The collection was written by Federico García during a life changing trip to New York, Cuba and Vermont between June 1929 and April 1930. “Poeta en Nueva York” is atypical in several important…

The question, ‘why? can become infinitely regressive because for any answer you can again ask ‘why?’. In this context, an ancient rishi said, “Anuttarobhava” - “become answerless”. Every answer only pushes the question a little further for every answer brings forth further questions. There is no end to a question-answer session. It can go on forever! So, it was said, “Anuttarobhava”- ‘go beyond questions…and be answerless’ for, your Being has the solution to all questions. ‘Turn every question…

The last stanza emphasizes that war destroys the soul of one being, and this is shown as the author uses abstract nouns such as: “strength,” “humanity,” and “entirety.” Overall, the hopeless tone and the use of vivid language deliberately creates a dark image of the society to the readers, conveying the message that the baby will lose its pureness once they come out into the real world and that it might be better if the baby elected death instead of life. Hide and Seek is thematically and…

As I look back into my year, I would say that it was a pretty interesting one. This is my last year in Barrow High School, and I think that I really need to just give it all and end this with an exclamation point! It’s almost Christmas break and the first semester is about to end as well. I think my grades are not that bad, I guess. I even still remember the first day of the school year, and I remember the first day during my fifth period class. I came into that class with seven other students.…

both before and after he is found out. However, it is nearly as absurd that Orgon should have been taken into the extent that he was, even going so far as to sign over his possessions to Tartuffe. Here are some of Tartuffe’s more absurd claims and exclamations. At the very beginning of Scene VI, having been caught attempting to seduce Elmire, Tartuffe confesses: “Yes, brother, I am wicked, I am guilty, a miserable sinner, steeped in evil, the greatest criminal that ever lived … Believe their…
