It seemed a disconcerting and dramatic response. What, after all, was the harm in paying a colleague a sincere compliment? Once one steps into the bubble of indulgence, a four billion dollar bubble in this case, the rules of reality no longer apply. A week after that incident, Nadia found herself stranded in the Claridge’s Hotel in London as Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull Volcano spewed noxious fumes into the atmosphere. As if a harbinger of this Icelandic doom cloud, when Stan had awoken earlier the previous morning, he found oddly that the butler wasn’t in the kitchen, as usual, preparing breakfast. He marched into the butler’s quarters to see what was the matter and there he found him lying on the lumpy mattress along the far wall, which was two feet from the door inside the windowless room. The butler looked at Stan with worried eyes as Stan asked why hadn’t he been up for breakfast. The butler muttered sheepishly that his left side was numb, he had stabbing surges of pain up his arm and he felt nauseated, as indicated by spots of sputum along the sides of his mouth. Stan did what any sensible person would do, which wasn’t to call an ambulance nor a hospital. He called his friend who was a physician and asked if he’d come over whenever he could that day. An hour later, his friend arrived and casually looked over the butler. It was obvious to the physician that the man, an immigrant in his seventies, was having a heart attack, so naturally Stan suggested to the butler…

Emily Dickinson is well known for her unusual poems, however during her life she wasn’t famous till after she passed away when her family started to find 1000’s of her poems stuff in tiny spaces all around the house.

While growing up she wasn’t the average women, she…

In Singer’s writing, he writes that when something bad is happening that people who are in the position to help should help. Then O’Neill discusses how we should not use people for mere means and to only use people if they consent to it. I agree with O’Neill that we should only use people if they agree with it and that we should only help people in need based on how much we want to. Singer says that when people are suffering and dying from food, shelter and medical problems that people should…

be, but even I remembered this rule and have used it ever since. However, built into the rule itself there is an exception that states: “except after c.” But if you have one exception you will have another and then another. It can make one throw up his or her hands in surrender into the firm hands of the Grammar Police for punishment. But the video gave me some hope that change is on the horizon as many educators realize that the way grammar is being taught must be revamped. Yes, I…

OMG did you here? i know right!!!! its crazzzyyy! In this day and age, texting is one of the main types of communication. Whether children choose to use correct grammar when texting, do they really know proper grammar for everyday use? Some people claim that children still have the capability to use proper grammar skills, and that they just choose not to. Others believe that children really do not know any better. With the belief that texting does not effect children’s grammar, one must wonder…

The writing includes many striking acting verbs, such as arise, cease, and awake. Because the work focusses on the Victorian period, verbs are conjugated into the past tense whenever necessary. Even so, some verbs appear in other tenses. The phrase “Upon sighting the lad,” contains the verb sighting, which is the present participle form of the verb sight. For another example, some verbs are used in their infinitive form. The phrases “to delay interment” and “required to remain” both contain…

new continuing action describing her thoughts. Edna’s thoughts shift in tone from telling her husband to regretting he was not there. She really is not regretting that he was not there to share it, but this is the polite thing to say to her husband. The word regretting is another one of Chopin’s charming ways to describe Edna deceptive thoughts. Edna makes up in her mind that no one would ever oppress her feelings of love and affection anymore. She did not regret her husband’s presence. She…

The locutions in the translation of Sefer yetsirah is gnomic, a contrast from the narrative style of a creation story such as Genesis. I am unsure if this is because Hebrew (source language) is more compact than English (target language). Nonetheless, succinctness can lead to readers having to fill in the blanks, leading to different interpretations. For instance, Kaplan’s and EB’s versions, differ in length, word choice, and order of principles. In Kaplan’s, the east and west seals are…
