Nonsense

Should Gun Companies Be Responsible? Someone once said, “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” Do you think gun companies should be responsible for the crimes that their product created? I don’t think they should. It is nonsense. In this essay, I will show you why they shouldn’t be responsible. Why should they be held responsible for a crime that they didn’t commit? It is not the company’s fault that a guy killed someone with their product. According to www.Nij.gov, 41% of gun shootings…

the common good. These ideas have great effects in current politics and government. When everyone praises highly the moral value and natural right, Bentham criticizes they are simple nonsense: Natural rights, according to Bentham, are “simple nonsense: natural and imprescriptible rights, rhetorical nonsense, — nonsense upon stilts” So-called moral and natural rights are mischievous fictions and anarchical fallacies that encourage civil unrest, disobedience and resistance to laws, and…

the text. This is shown through how Alice has to understand wonderland but also become responsible for her own nonsense throughout the novel, only then can she escape back into the real world. Applying basic logic to wonderland does not work when trying to do the multiplication table ‘four times seven is oh dear! I shall never get to twenty at that rate!’ (19) it becomes logical nonsense just like the puzzle of who Alice is. Logic and puzzles are a prominent theme within the text and this is…

The Maturation of Alice Set in Victorian England, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a story following the dream of an inquisitive girl named Alice. After she dozes off on her sister’s lap, she dreams of a Wonderland filled with numerous characters that help her “assert her own will” (Blake). Many readers try to perceive a deeper meaning from this novel that enraptures not only the minds of children, but adults as well; however, this novel is copiously filled with lessons and various…

Lewis Carroll's “Jabberwocky”, to put it simply, is complete and utter nonsense. It features in Carroll’s novel, Through the Looking Glass, and is approximately seventy-five percent completely made up words. Even Alice, the main character of the book, is bewildered by it saying, “"It seems very pretty," she said when she had finished it, "but it's rather hard to understand!" (You see she didn't like to confess, even to herself, that she couldn't make it out at all.)” (Carroll 64). So why would…

The sound of the title is a very familiar sound, like the sound of my father’s keys being tossed on the glass table in the doorway, or my sister’s bubbly laugh. It’s a name that I’ve grown up. Alice and her adventures. To analyze it, Alice is our lense throughout the novel. She trots the trails of wonderland, watching a baby become a big, played croquet with a flamig, and my favorite, puzzling over riddles at a chaotic tea party. These are her adventures. In all honesty, I believe the…

The historical context of Dostoyevsky’s life is one that better explains Notes from Underground. While the novel can be seen as a critique of the progressive view of history, government, and human perfectibility in general, the text is also a direct satire of the Russian novel What Is to Be Done by Nikolai Chernyshevsky. In this novel, a poor, uneducated girl is saved from ruin by a series of enlightened benefactors. This girl, Vera, goes on herself to found a series of workshops where through…

marks reflect Dmitri’s excited yet somewhat muddled state of mind. This reveals that the nonchalant exclamation “The pistols are nonsense too! Drink and stop imagining things,” is not simply directed at Pyotr, for the sake of ridding his friend’s mind of care and to convince him to join in drinking. He is simultaneously trying to convince himself to ignore “the nonsense,” to “stop imagining things,” to indulge in the moment. In addition, his frenzied…

7. (3 points) Suppose I try to turn “The woman who is singing the national anthem is a very good singer,” into a question by saying “Is the woman who singing the national anthem is a very good singer?” Something has gone wrong here. What? The correct way to say is------> "Is the women who is singing the national anthem a very good singer?" According to Chomsky one cannot take the first appearance of the auxiliary word. One must look for the auxiliary that comes right after the phrase label…

wanting to try these children as an adult. This is nonsense. Under no circumstance should a child to be tried as an adult in a murder trial. Yes, there is probably no doubt that the child did commit the murder, but the next step of the prosecution is sentencing. Is the court going to demand that this young child serve time in a federal prison or possibly get the death penalty? Probably not, so trying a child as an adult in this instance would be nonsense. The only law associated with this says…
