owned a personal computer and 41.5% had home internet access and the numbers are constantly rising (Newburger, 2001). In times of online education, e-books, internet television and the development of over 1000 mobile apps each day (Freierman, 2011), children are surrounded by modern technology from a very early age on. While the research on the effect of media consumption on infants and toddlers is still in its early stage, scientists have already formed opinions on whether this new pastime…

Child neglect involves acts of omission, but there is no consensus as to whether the focus should be on the child’s unmet needs, the parents’ or guardians’ behavior, or actual/potential harm to children (Tang, 2008). White & Hoskins (2011) defined neglect as an act of omission that results in the failure to provide for a child’s basic needs, which in turn results in the harm of the child. In her definition of child neglect, Tang (2008) divides the child’s unmet basic needs into two categories –…

in Swaziland.” Not only did this cause the animals “psychological trauma” (PETA) due to being torn away from their home and families, they are often captured at a young age because it is easier to capture them and they bring in higher profit. Most feral beings have rarely, if ever, had eyes lay upon them, so abruptly introducing them to hundreds or thousands of eyes a day would be an extreme culture shock causing adrenaline induced panic and rage. Taking them to a new environment also quickly…

Tatiana Ashley stepped out of the cab and gaped at the splendid but slightly intimidating mansion that towered over her. Dark clouds brewed overhead and a flash of lightning pierced through, ripping the shadowed sky into pieces. Was this a symbol, Ashley wondered, a sign? Apprehensively, she approached the door and knocked vigorously. The oak door creakily opened and there stood the charming suave Xavier.

the Victorian Era. The Victorian Era is a time period of strict gender roles and a life regulated by religion.

Throughout the novel, Stoker puts secret Easter eggs of symbolism in order to subliminally get these points across. The…

Shopping Maul. Here, the sheet was almost littered with highlights and notes of rhetorical feature. One of several notes was “Uses of historical context (allusion) to show the insanity of sistuation [sic]” to link back to the sentence: “They and their children expect a level of obeisance that’s positively pre-revolutionary. The French Revolution, that is.” I also was able to identify the entire article as an analogy between retail jobs and battlefield. In the past, I struggled to identify what…

Who is that I see walking through the wood? Is it a savage, feral wolf whose teeth yearn for my human blood, or is it a bloodthirsty, menacing Dane who lusts for my bloody death on his axe’s blade? The time of the Anglo-Saxons was one of blood and ultimate gore as they tore through history with a vengeance, a perfect example of this is the Danish epic Beowulf. Cloaked, and probably “be-daggered” in anonymity, Beowulf is without an official author, but that does not mar its continued fame in…
