to absorb the information. Lincoln emphasized, “We can not dedicate – we can not consecrate – we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract” (Abraham Lincoln Online). Hyphens and commas underlined the message he desired to convey, even on a spiritual level. The punctuations served as a strong symbol to enforce focus on the meaning of Lincoln’s speech. His words and pauses reflected compassion and gratitude. He…

Commentary After reading H.P.Lovecraft’s The Rats in the Walls, I was inspired to write this trilogy of short horror stories. It was the ending sentence that fully made me want to write thrilling and intense short stories, “the rats they can never hear; the rats, the rats in the walls.” – (The Rats in the Walls). I used prose-fiction as my literary form for Didn’t I, Click and Answer. These stories are for young adults and older because of the gory content the horror stories contain. My…

Here’s a Google Doc’s of this discussion post in case anybody wants to read it in an easier, readable format. I attached it as a downloadable file to this thread as well. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VOExPc9uO7Dw_H_fCx-Ob6kaJhBEB-f_o12j0B7arJQ/edit?usp=sharing First off, nice thesis, Lewinsky. “How does it feel to be America’s premier blow-job queen?” Shame and Survival could be the most bias “professional” writing I’ve read recently.

‘Pig—Polak—disgusting—vulgar—greasy!’ —Them kind of words have been on your tongue and your sister's too much around here! What do you two think you are? A pair of queens?” (pg. 131). Williams’ use of plosive alliteration and hyphens in order to emphasise the insults conveys how Stanley cannot handle his authority being questioned, and how he believes that his wife should be the embodiment of subservience and submission; this reflects the views of America at the time, as although…

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” The Holy Bible, 1 Peter 5:8 KJV Manipulation, whether it be believed to be by the Devil himself, or young, mortal, deceiving minds, is the basis of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. Originally published in 1953, Arthur Miller created a play based on the suspected witches in the small village of Salem, Massachusetts; the treatment of the women who were accused as witches; and how…

I’ve been a hunter for about as long as I can remember. My dad used to take me out into the woods where we would hunt deer and elk. I learned all about tracking and finding animals until I had my first kill when I was ten. Since then, I’ve been hooked. Today I’m going to talk to you about the most important piece of equipment a hunter can own: his rifle. While good hunting technique will help ensure that you bag your next deer, without the right gun you won’t be able to do much of anything out…

There are many people in this world that aspire for riches and power, but very few ever attain this sweet dream. This dream happened to be achieved by two men who got to that level of success by doing what they love, and making sure they were the best at it. Considering how both Andrew Carnegie and Bill Gates are derived from different beginnings. They both embraced life’s challenges and made the decisions necessary to, one, become the wealthy men they desired to be, and two, not forget about…

Another problem with this topic is what would happen if that nurse made a mistake because it would make them really mad because they wouldn't want to mess up the patient's insides or drop an organ and many more. The wouldn’t want to make a patient mad because they care actually sue that person for malpractice which is horrible because if that happens a nurse must surrender their license to the board which becoming a nurse is the hardest thing in the world, but the greatest thing in the world.…
