Multiple comparisons

diagnosing and managing patients for quite literally anything. This would be my idea of a "dream-job"; and no, this isn't because of popular stereotypes of asians having these types of jobs although, I do have to admit that this is an unusual choice in comparison to others who might want to be teachers, chefs, police officers, etc. In my eyes, this is the best job you could ever get in the world; and here's why. Although many patients require more intensive/ immediate care, like surgery,…

The Magistrate’s crucifix in The Stranger by Albert Camus and the comparisons Santiago Nasar to Jesus and the priest in The Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez are religious instances used to highlight the inability of the protagonists, Meursault and Santiago, to conform with society. In these novels, religion is a major theme, in The Chronicle of a Death Foretold, Christianity is the practiced by the people in the town, the norms of their society were based around their…

In the essay, Worlds Pictured in Contemporary Art: Planes and Connectivities, author Terry Smith describes what makes contemporary art unique. According to Smith, “placemaking, world picturing and connectivity are the most common concerns of artists these days because they are the substance of contemporary being”. He argues that today’s society is more connected than ever before, and asserts that contemporary art is “ art for the world––for the world as it is now, and as it might be”, unlike any…

1) A) Pun: “play on words.” Based on multiple meanings of a single word or on words that sound alike (homophones) but mean different things. B) Cobbler: “A trade, sir, that I hope I may use with a safe conscience, which indeed, sir, a mender of bad soles” (1.1.12-15). Cobbler uses this pun to address that he is a mender of worn soles.

As a multi-tasker I have found that at times doing more than one thing has been beneficial as the tasks worked hand in hand making the conclusion for all more concise. At times being tasked with multiple assignments has been extremely challenging because I was not able to fully focus on what I needed to accomplish clearly. Most people multi-task for greater rewards and sensory stimulation (Sanbonmatsu, Strayer, Medeiros-Ward, and…

In relation to privilege Cornell west had a lot to say about the state of the United States. The issue that he exemplifies is how powerful and privileged the rich are in comparison to everybody else. Cornell West states how when he was young the 1% held 20% of the wealth, but now that number has dramatically to an astounding 40%. He places rich white people in general as the privileged class at fault of keeping the little guy down. We have talked about privilege in class, and how some…

though, in the form of information: the exchanging of different ideas (“…he was interested in my answers…I was interested in his answers).” With this, textual evidence supports that Zinsser uses the context of a transaction in order to easily apply a comparison and contrast technique. Moreover, the technique itself provides a prime illustration of how variable writing can be, thus, proving to reflect one’s variable emotions. I actually find this approach used quite skillfully applied when…
