product appealing to the audience. As has you seen every time they release a new brand of roshes, Jordan’s, sports cleats, and more they often show the shoe in a bright colorful background. Or also they add phrases like “Unbreakable”, “Lightweight” or simply “what are you waiting for”. Adding those phrases catches ones attention and makes one think “Are there really unbreakable” or “Lighter than other shoe brand” as McClintock said in her article “Many such words have strong, affirmative…

Both “the open window,” by Saki, and “the monkey’s paw,” by Jacobs, are structured in parts; and each of these parts correspond to an occurrence during the story. Saki and Jacobs also both introduce ghosts during the climax of the stories- however in the Monkey’s paw we never really find out if the ghost is real, and in the Open window, we explicitly find out that the ghost is not real. Finally, both Saki and Jacobs make use of powerful language to instill fear in the reader and pull them…

love handles can become more pronounced, but they aren’t caused by tight clothes alone. They indicate excess fat accumulation around the hips and abdominal area.” This phrase implies that you can love Popchips without worrying about gaining weight and in consequence, love handles. Second, in a smaller font underneath the first phrase, is Katy Perry’s statement, “I curl Popchips straight to my lips. Good thing they don’t go straight to my hips.” These sentences confirm that Katy Perry does work…

use of humanity also meant that these specific people were emotionally humane. They showed their support by drowning the cries of boos by hushes. Another rhetorical device has also been used and that is metanoia. We see an example of metanoia in the phrase, ‘immigrants of every race and colour’. Johnson is saying that immigrants of ever colour and race payed their respect to Thatcher because Thatcher was a woman who spoke for and supported the immigrants. Johnson uses ‘race and colour’ to…

done with a highlighter and an intelligent mind. After reading comes a plethora of questions to answer. Because the STAAR test uses odd wording in the attempt to make the student think, it is essential to read the questions carefully. Certain key phrases are given, like "In paragraph three" means that the right answer will only pertain to the third…

to Stanza 2, where it mentions the women and men sowing and reaping. However, in this stanza, cummings once again uses hyperbaton to say the people, “went their came” (35). The phrase essentially means the people came into the world and went out of it just as easily. However, by placing “went” at the beginning of the phrase, cummings emphasizes the “went” part of people’s lives, which refers to their death. Stressing death over life shows how cummings believes that life is so repetitive that…

The book of Psalms is one of only two books in the Old Testament that has multiple authors. Most of the chapters of Psalms were written by King David, 73 to be exact. Others credited are Asaph, descendants of Korah, Solomon, Herman, Ethan, and Moses. The rest of the Psalms contain no evidence of a specific author. Looking at the actual word Psalm, it means praises or hymns in Hebrew. This book expresses much praise towards God, but also incorporates wisdom, knowledge, and feelings toward God.…

trivialities can pose as a distraction, even in major moments like death. Dickinson begins the poem with a seemingly insignificant phrase-”I heard a Fly buzz”- but adds “-when I died.” Dickinson’s unique syntax consists of two dashes that create a pause between these phrases and the next line, which establishes the extreme contrast in significance between the phrases, and a shift in mood. Dickinson also capitalizes “Fly” but not “died,” creating a sense of irony that contributes to her overall…

Behaviourism Behaviourism is said to be one of the ways of learning a language. According to Skinner (1957, cited in Harmer, 2007), in this method, learners are required to replicate sentences and their correctness is applauded by the teacher and the high frequency of this process increases the students’ condition to develop language effectively in the future. It is supported that “Behaviourism analysis is alive and well, and is making significant contribution in applied language settings”…

Most of the time the answer is no since many people tend to just use whatever word that comes to mind without knowing the meaning.
