Carly Fiorina is a candidate for the republican presidential…

Well, that is exactly how Donald Trump lives his life. My hero is Donald Trump because he doesn't care how people think of him and he will do what he thinks and knows is best and not what ever anybody else tells him to do, and he is working on getting our country out of debt, he is still investigating Hillary Clinton, and he…
Mohammed Matthes, The key term I chose are appropriation, intertextuality, parody, social comparison and social Penetration theory. I have picked these terms because the words match the show I watched. The show I have chosen to watch is Black Mirror.

As soon as we went outside, acting like an idiot, I chucked the penny as far as I could. My mom became infuriated and yelled “You will find the penny or you will not go home!” As her and my brother waited in the warm car, I walked around in the freezing cold looking for a small penny that got lost in the taunting snow (Personification).…

The first piece: The Mystery of Trump, Partially Explained, by Paul Berman gives the reader an idea of the current state of journalism. Paul Berman begins with a series of rhetorical questions, wondering how they failed to see this campaign coming and how America could…
