Hooks

clothing is starting to sell hes wares in florida. Hes also hoping his penchant for blasting employees and potential clients will get him into the guinness book of wolrd records. Gulla,55, started his job in the shadow of the 2012 shooting at sandy hook elementary school, where a gunman killed 20 first graders and six staff members before turning the gun on himself. Gull used his 27 year of law enforcement experience to come up with a new plan security measures to soothe anxious parents,…

“Now, today I will be teaching you all about the basics of grappling. We have some grappling hooks for all of you and we will begin to take turns scaling this large wall one at a time.” Goodfellow showed us how the hooks worked. They were made from heavy iron and braided fiber rope. We had to twirl them through the air to launch them up to the top of the wall. Then we had to place our feet against it and start climbing up. It took a few practices, but I began to pick up on it pretty quickly.…

As a society, we have become desensitized to how the violence in video games and television plays apart into shootings. Many people that have been affected by video games and do not know it. Some are affected more than others, but it’s starting to spiral out of control. Many families are being affected by these shooters that are getting out of control. People like Chris Harper-Mercer, who said “I’ve been waiting to do this for years” right before he killed and injured 17 people, including…

In a time where there seems to be a continual push for stricter gun control and regulation, it is evident that shootings will inevitably occur, regardless of gun regulation. Law-abiding citizens are not the ones who should have to bear the brunt of strict gun regulation. The Second Amendment right is under attack; a right many would argue is the cornerstone of the U.S. Constitution. Stricter gun regulations by the U.S. Government, and the attempt to ban guns in general will not prevent…

written by 2 complete different authors. But some parts of the plot and story are similar, that is because there is a reoccurring theme in most stories. I believe themes reappear through history because often times stories need a good “hook.” Most stories use a dramatic hook with action or a problem. Like a hero becoming a better person by going through a rough time. In conclusion both supporting and main characters have things in common. So does the actual plot. I guess history does…

Growing up, I was not a child who wanted to go out to play and get messy. Instead, I would much rather stay home reading, drawing, or watching movies. The older I got, the more and more I refused to go out which really bugged my parents. One day, my aunt asked me if I wanted to go on a little trip to San Diego during the summer and I thought “why not?”. I hadn't been outside of the house for a while, so the 2 hour car ride was a breath of fresh air. We arrived at this zip lining place and it was…

United States. Although there were many sports in the 1920s baseball, and football played the most significant roles. Baseball is referred to as America’s pastime. As many people know George Herman Ruth or “Babe” is baseballs biggest hero (Hook 14). Many people know Babe Ruth for hitting home runs but ironically he started his career as a pitcher. Babe Ruth hit 714 home runs in his illustrious career. Ruth was looked at by many as the the greatest sports figure in America at the time…

In the song “When I Get Low I Get High” by Ella Fitzgerald, the lyrics include poetic devices such as consonance, repetition, ambiguity, personification. The hook of the song is “When I get low, oh, I get high” which contains symbolism and is a poetic device of repetition is also a form of ambiguity. Looking at this hook being repeated throughout the song in a voice that sounds cheerful and upbeat is trying to misguide listeners at first because it sound so energetic but in reality the mood and…

This may cause them to use an availability heuristic causing them to think of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that took place in December of 2012. A person’s availability heuristic would cause them to think of this occurrence because an availability heuristic is a mental shortcut that depends on examples that come to that person’s mind when analyzing a specific topic, concept, or method. Sandy Hook would be considered a staple reason the debate on gun control has come into light more…

twenty-six deaths, twenty of them were little kids ages six to seven, the rest of them were adults. The first police officer arrived in two minutes and forty-one seconds after a nine one one call was made (http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2012/12/us/sandy-hook-timeline/). How scary that must have been for those people knowing that it takes so long for the cops to respond, while there is a killer in the school. Over the past few years more and more school shootings are happening. In the Wellington…
