This is Not Just a Discourse Community, it’s My Life. Throughout our life time, we have all been apart of a discourse community before, whether it has to do with a specific sports team that we participate in, or an online community like Facebook, twitter, and Instagram. John Swales definition of a discourse community is simply a distinctive group with descriptive characteristics. The discourse community I ended up choosing was my own, which is my soccer life. A soccer community can be defined…

tickets. Edward asked me " Should we go to the airport right now and buy the airline ticket there" I reply " Good idea!". On our way to the airport, traffic was still jam.

They were only a few people at the…

During the performance of clothing but one exception was one band member was wearing a top hat…

Growing up my dad was a basketball coach and my mom was recognized as a four year varsity athlete for basketball in one of the top high schools in Michigan. So playing basketball had seemed to be inevitable for me, and while I was technically good at the sport and could compete with almost anyone my age, I never really established a love for the game. So on my tenth birthday at Dave & Busters I wandered over to this fairly large machine in the back corner of the arcade. When I pulled open the…

The Way It Haunted Me People say that good things always come in pairs, but what about bad things too? My parents, sister and I decided to visit Cedar Point during what I like to call a dark fall. The days were hazy and honeyed, and cinnamon and pomegranate aroma filled the air. The skies were always awake and illuminated with the never-ending thunderstorms, and murky rains; the scattered leaves were luminescent in their yellows, reds, and purples as if they forgot they were about to die. That…

I’ve lived a life where I’ve enjoyed every possible privilege that was given to me. I’ve traveled many places, well funded public education, I live in a house my family owns, and I go to school by the scholarships my community has awarded me. It’s hard for me to justify my feelings that I don’t have enough food, money, or material things. I have been given everything and yet sometimes I feel like I have nothing. How can I justify the financial aid that was awarded to me when I know that someone…

This project planning is designed in preparation to implement an automated vital sign documentation system at Silver Hill Hospital located in New Canaan, Connecticut.

He categorizes the reasoning behind each friendship that we form into three categories: friendship of utility, pleasure and virtue. From his discussion he concludes that friendships are a necessity to humans and that no one could live without friends. That being said, I will be arguing that the friendships that we form are a necessity to the…

do you understand?” As Tyrek’s lawyer proceeded to answer, Tyrek stopped him and whispered something in his ear. Minutes later the lawyer requested a minute to brief with his client. The judge granted the requested and the lawyer and Tyrek got in a huddle. As they talked his mother and I moved in closer so we could hear, “How sure are you that we can win,” Tyrek asked his lawyer. “Like I said in the beginning, if this goes to trial, we will not win. The evidence against you is too strong.…
