Overtime careers, and the tasks asked of these careers, changes immensely. The most drastic changes can be the salary, education, outlook, and skills required. One career that has experienced all of these changes is a Food and Drug Administration employed meat inspector. Not to long ago, to become a meat inspector the only education required was roughly 9 weeks of training. That has now since changed. Now a bachelors in Biological, Mathematical, Physical, or Agricultural sciences. The…

Greater Than the Differences? When comparing two things you must really put into perspective the little things that they are made up of. Two things can seem similar but that will never mean that they are exactly the same. For example, some of the things that Knights and Samurai had in common were: they both must obeyed their code of honor and stayed loyal to their king, both got paid in land, both were willing to do anything for their ruler. But what about some of the differences? Knights…

The foreshadowing in each story has a few things in common. The people’s heart conditions foresaw their deaths and the stopping of the storm in each story foresaw the calming and hope each character felt right afterwards. There are multiple differences though, but only a few will be discussed. While in one story there is peace, in the other there is chaos. While a tree falling on the men represented their trapped hearts, Louise sees blue. This proved her heart was being release from the…

There are many potential points of interest in analyzing Joan Didion’s essay, “Holy Water” and the prologue to N. Scott Momaday’s book The Way to Rainy Mountain. The two pieces of writing are significantly dissimilar indeed, and therefore lend themselves more readily to contrast rather than comparison. Upon further investigation, I came to the conclusions that as different as they were in terms of writing style and use of rhetotical devices, both of the writers’ styles were effective. “Holy…
