Interjections

According to the government archives, the first time someone used it as an interjection was during one of the most famous broadcasts in the history of radio journalism. In 1937, Herb Morrison gave an eyewitness report of the explosion and crash of the German passenger airship, Hindenburg. “It’s fire and it crashing! . . . This is the worst of the worst catastrophes in the world! Oh, it’s crashing . . . oh, four or five hundred feet into the sky, and it’s a terrific crash, ladies and gentlemen. There’s smoke, and there’s flames, now, and the frame is crashing to the ground, not quite to the mooring mast. Oh, the humanity, and all the passengers screaming around here!” The reporter sounds completely astounded by what he is witnessing, which was everything that humanity encompasses: death, horror, fear, pain, indifference…

I was sitting comfortably on my bed reading a story on Reddit about Ghengis Khan when Travis Miler burst into my room. “Derson?” “What’s good.” My phone said it was 8:56 am. “Bowl?” “I’d be down.” I laid back on my bed and rubbed my eyes, sinking into the pad on my mattress. I twisted some chest hairs and continued reading. Travis set his backpack down and dogged around for the ideal eighth-bag to pinch out of. He opened my closet and pulled out a bong wrapped at the base and downstem with…

After slamming the GOP tax cuts and doubling down on calling bonuses to hard-working Americans "crumbs," a patriot stunned Nancy Pelosi with just six words. During a town hall event Tuesday in Phoenix, Arizona, a heckler asked the House Minority Leader, "How much are you worth, Nancy?" The remark was in response to Pelosi rambling about how the GOP tax cuts allowing Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money was pathetic and unpatriotic. “These are kitchen table issues for America’s…

place. Around :53 an image appears of the person this story will center around and the hardships that surround the area. The saxophone representing the innocence and beauty of the person and the woodwind section playing full and showing their support. – It later transitions around 2:50 to a lush chorale type motive with a call a response happening between the lower voices/trumpets and the woodwinds. This continues until a bouncy texture change at 4:38 that is set up by the upper voices that is…

Before he goes on to explain how medicine relates to Love, Eryximachus provides his second interjection of medical advice. Aristophanes asks him to both stop his hiccupping and to take his place in the speech-giving, to which Eryximachus responds “ἀλλὰ ποιήσω ἀμφότερα ταῦτα” (Pl. Sym. 185d). Here, Eryximachus uses the particle ἀλλά, which is a stronger and more precise particle than the weaker δέ, to connect the sentences and introduce his thought (Smyth 2775) (Smyth 2834). In this case, ἀλλά…

Hughes writes, “In terms of current Afro-American popular music… this poem on contemporary Harlem, like bebop, is marked by conflicting changes, sudden nuances, sharp and impudent interjections , broken rhythms, and passages sometimes in the manner of the jam session” (Hughes, 387). Montage is meant to be a poetic jam session on, and reflective of, life in Harlem; the cacophony of the adopted bebop style reflects the cacophony of Harlem. In the opening poem, Dream Boogie, he can especially see…

But there’s more! Punctuation can serve to add interjections into the poem. Let’s look at what might be the most prominent insertion of punctuation in the third line of the fifth stanza, where two dashes sandwich the words “still, trying.” By inserting this little interjection in the phrase “the Erebus I keep you in…/I make between my slumber and my waking,” the speaker points out that she’s been attempting to keep her mother’s spirit in this little pocket of darkness, but so far, the spirt has…

though that is trying to change that and his name is Alberto Angela. In his book, “A Day In The Life Of Ancient Rome”, Angela attempts to show Rome as it truly was mean to be. Angela does a superb job at this but his book falls into some serious traps such as poor writing, but he does make up for it in beautiful content and this is why his book works. Alberto Angela loves to give wonderful stories of Rome to help the reader understand what Rome was like, but often times the reader ends up…

Active Listening Assignment A friend came to me with concern over her future career options. She expressed her want of many different career fields that she wished to pursue. This was problematic because if she tried to pursue all of her interests, she would need to attend school for about 8 years and be buried in student debt. Although she knew that she would be unable to pursue all of her possible career paths, she wasn’t sure which she wanted to follow and didn’t want to make the wrong…

A strength that I hope to utilize in my practice is my ability to actively listen to patients. As a provider, I want my patients stories to be heard and I have no problem allowing them to speak their minds without any interjections. I feel that this skill will prove useful in my practice because it will allow me to gain a well-rounded perspective of my patients’ lives and disease processes. In the book, Anna Dodge’s last provider used his ability to listen as his greatest resource; while other…
