Explanation

The story of Kiowa’s death has been repeated three times. Each of the stories is from a different perspective. Each story goes in depth of what the person was thinking when they saw Kiowa’s dead body. For some it was shame and for others it was a realization of the cruelty of war. Two particular chapters explain why O’Brien felt the way he did and why he wrote the book. Both “Ambush” and “The Man I Killed” are the same story described in different ways. In the chapter “Ambush” Kathleen,…

Diversity, in its broadest definition, and as afforded by Barak (2008), refers to the specific categorization of certain human differences. According to Shore, Chung-Herrera, Dean, Ehrhart, Jung, Randel, & Singh (2009), these differences are what make up the dimensions of diversity such as race, age, gender, disability, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. There is no question as to the fact that there is an influx of diverse populations into the worlds labor market (Groschl, 2012). While the…

The system of P.I.E., point, illustration and explanation, was showed to us to organize our body paragraphs. My points, topic sentences, were at first not the best, but by the second paper they were what they needed to be. In my first essay I wrote, “ Another flaw in the college system is the time consumption…

Ceiling Effect, Anne Gibson discusses the needed improvement in attitudes toward women in the work force. She presents different aspects of treatment towards them that need changed. It was a very interesting essay to read. Although grammar and explanations could be refined, I got the impression that even though some improvement is being made towards eliminating this effect, more needs to be done. The author bases her argument on the premise that women deserve to be paid and respected based on…

During the explanation of the activity and goals, I sat with my three and asked them what they thought a good friend was. I asked them what they liked about a friend and told them to write or draw what they came up with on a piece of chart paper. The clients gave good explanations and with these answers, I was better able to help them grasp what characteristics a good friend possessed. When we…

As a literature lover, I spent a lot of time understanding what these poems are trying to say, and I enjoyed reading every single of them. As far as evaluating each of these poems, I need to say that the meaning of "The Secretary Chant" was pretty straight forward from my understanding. The poem reveals how the career of a secretary has taken away her life to the extent that she has forgotten herself as a woman. Moreover, because of the way the poet described her situation, we can realize that…

In almost all real-world situations, rhetoric is used to convince and manipulate the opinions of the target audience. Whether the objective is to create an emotional connection with the audience or create trust with a speaker or writer, rhetoric is used in almost all of these situations. In “Nickel and Dimmed” by Barbara Ehrenreich, Ehrenreich employs rhetoric to create logic and reasoning, to create an emotional connection with the audience, and to build trust with the audience in order to…

Pam Houston’s short story, “How to Talk to a Hunter” effectively shows a female narrator’s experience with dating a hunter by writing directly to the readers in second person point-of-view and trying to teach readers how to do something, such as talk to a hunter. Using second person point-of-view, shows that the narrator feels that her issues with dating a hunter need to be addressed and other people should know about the issues that come with dating a hunter. By using second person point-of…

The book “The Monkey’s Paw” and the play that we went and watched at ISU were same at some points but they were also different at some spots. The book, like all books, went deeper than the play did. In fact, the book was actually more enjoyable for me because I understood it more. I loved watching the play and reading the book, and now i’m going to compare and contrast them. The plot of the story differed in some spots but in most spots it was the same. One of them is when Mrs. White goes…

Technology is constantly changing, forcing the new generation, also known as Millennials, to lose the real concept of life. With technology, and social media at the fingertips of most young adults, real life human contact is starting to become a thing of the past. A study done by Pew Research Center reported that 92% of teens reported going online daily (Lenhart). With an amount that high, it becomes very clear that technology is becoming an everyday thing for most Millennials. In Simon Sinek’s…
