Nonsense

me about this club called latinos unidos. It was this club about latinos getting together and helping out communities and just generally the environment. When my cousin told me about this club I generally thought that it would be just a bunch of nonsense work for the greater good. I chose the place I volunteered at because I couldn't find anything else at the moment. This was my first time volunteering and I was generally nervous because I had to go to a place all by myself and meet new people.…

first glance, these slogans seem to be contradictory and illogical. And, they pretty much are, but a society in 1984 is run by a group of people that have pretty much brainwashed or intimidated the entire population into believing whatever sort of nonsense they promote. So these three slogans are lived by and sworn by, and the essence of everything that the Party represents. Each of these three slogans have double meanings—one for the Party and one for the people as a whole. First of all, War is…

In no way do I want to go into further discussion about politics or this year’s election into my discussion board but when I think of an advertising campaign which has a strong insight behind it, my mind automatically goes to this year’s election. The campaign and their advertising drew deep into the other opponent. One in particular that stood out to me was Hillary Clinton’s ad about role models (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrX3Ql31URA). Children look up to the President of the United…

Well I think that Connie needs to have a timeout for herself. She needs to have a discussion with herself. Also needs to truly figure out what she wants in her life. If she is wanting to improve her life for a better life maybe she needs to look at other options such as going to back to school for example part time or online.

out to many people. They were always watering the ground. There were no plants on that ground just rock. Their tribe was called the Canyons. Every day this tribe would wake up at dawn and water the ground until dusk. No one saw any point in this nonsense ritual, if you would call it that. The tribe was supposedly watering because they believed the land was thirsty. The one family member named Erosion was very strong and would bring many huge buckets of water back and forth all day long.…

I absolutely love to write. Therefore, I habitually also love to read— it’s my favorite way to understand other people and to help them understand me. When stories get written down, anyone can comprehend them, especially with a miracle like braille. Writing lets both adults and children alike communicate complex ideas and feelings that humans just can’t otherwise show— hence, why I adore words so much. My favorite example of communicating that “complex emotion” part is a book called Freaks Like…

We find John Donne’s religious sonnets dominating the 17th century and hundreds of sonnets written by Wordsworth in the romantic era that brought out an entirely different purpose. In the 20th century, poets like William Butler Yeats and Robert Frost regularly used sonnets to depict a precise perspective. Yeats’ Leda and the Swan is a popular sonnet that depicts the myth of Zeus and Leda. We find the poetic form of sonnets used across languages and times. In the late 19th century, the Limerick…

Is Macbeth wholly evil? Or doing what needs to be done to be a good king? Macbeth’s character changes drastically throughout the play. The first crime he committed was done with his own hands, killing the king, but also a friend. The guilt of killing king Duncan weighed on him so much and he was horrified by what he had done. Throughout the rest of the play, every other murder was ordered by Macbeth. Was the first murder done by Macbeths hands too much for him that the second time he hired…

measure the same concept of the benefits of distributed practice versus massed practice. One of these experiments was conducted by Geoffrey Keppel in 1967 and involved college students learning nonsense syllables and adjectives, the subjects were to study this list in order to be able to view the nonsense syllable and identify its corresponding adjective.…
