According to the University of Central Florida, “a discourse community is a group of people involved in and communicating about a particular topic, issue, or in a particular field”. Examples of discourse communities can be professional organizations, specific classes, sports teams, and even a group of fans for a musician. Within these discourse communities, each has their own specific basis of what good writing is and what form of communication is most often used. Each community has its own…
In addition to less-than-perfect facilities, the music program at my high school also had a number of students with special needs, which some would see as a drawback but I saw as an asset. They always told us that music class was always the best part of their days, and the enthusiasm that they brought to performances and rehearsals pushed the rest of us in the class that much further. This is another special element that music education continues to bring to the academic table in a very unique…
(Everyone ten and up), and T (Teenager) so the Wii U is recommended for children. The Wii U top rated games only available for Wii U is Super Smash Bros Brawl for Wii U which is a fighting game with many characters from old and new games such as Mario, Legend of Zelda plus so much more. People dislike the Wii U because the controller of the battery runs out very fast, and when playing games online the game does not run really fast. Nintendo never had been hacked because it had a secure…
During the summer, I went to summer camp. I sat alone, like I had at school, only there to learn about computers and science. To my surprise, two people came over and talked to me. Their names were Aidan and Matthew. They wanted to know if I had Mario Kart, a racing game, and if I would play it with them.

Yes, your name does include all of them, but not in that explicit order and so for you to infer that their meaning is…
Bloodborne created by a Japanese company called FromSoft. This series is notorious for its difficulty; the back of the game box even says to “Prepare to Die”. For the older folks out there, who don’t play games anymore; take Contra and throw in some Mario with Legends of Zelda; and now multiply that by 12. Now, we have this macabre level difficulty that you will face. If you are asking yourself why are we playing this game if…
We have just left the graveyard, with our relatives eyes drastically damp. I look to the grave thinking, “I will never see that face again.” It was a sad day for sure, to thinking a stroke could take our strong fighting Grandpa. Yet with our faces hung with despair, for Dane and I, this would be a pose short lived. We did not know or believe it would become a better time soon, that all our tears would be wiped away with something so simple, so fun. That we would forget all our grievances,…
