Rant

The “Alcatraz Proclamation (1969)” uses satire in many ways. The Indians use it to ridicule white people, mock them and use irony to have a better chance in gaining the island. In one way they use satire to mock the ways of the white man and make them feel bad for what our ancestors did. First, when purchasing the island they said that they will give “twenty-four dollars in glass beads and red cloth”. The white people bought an island from them 300 years ago with that amount of money, however…

Although Ms. Lucia Hernandez talks about the benefits of fracking and why is America's energy solution; however, a letter to the editor presents an opposing, negative view of the process. Ms. Hernandez proves more convincing, because she uses reliable statistic and facts, while the opposing part only expresses her own opinion. To begin, the opposing party states, " Up to 40,000 gallons of chemicals are used in each fracking operation, containing a toxic bath of 600 chemicals like mercury…

the “blurred lines” between yes and no when it comes to sexual consent. The song goes as far as saying “You’re an animal”, comparing them to animals and dehumanising them further. People have reacted in a passive-aggressive manner to this, posting rants in the comments section of YouTube, and other social…

For example Holden tends to make fun of people who care about ridiculous things but then he goes on a rant about how him having a expensive suitcase is important to him. A reason Holden also judges people is to put them down so that he doesn’t feel like they are better than him which all comes back to relate to Holden being insecure. Holden has a lot…

difference for this paragraph is Erin’s father. They didn’t mention him in the book that much either, but he’s in a lot of the movie. They got a lot of the movie right in sync with the book, also. I don’t want to sound like one of those people who just rant about the big differences between movies and books. *cough* Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief *cough* But I also want to point out some similarities. They got most of the Freshman year stuff right and included a lot of stuff I wouldn’t…

attention in class because they’re too busy thinking about the fact that they just got dress coded. For example, I was in yearbook and one of my fellow staff members got dress coded for wearing a bralette. The rest of that class period consisted of rants, complaints, and arguments about dress codes which distracted my classmates and I. If she wouldn’t have gotten dress coded this whole fiasco could have definitely been avoided. Another point is students have the right to express…

was in an accident. In the one first one he talked about a teacher who was telling nonsense to her fourth grade class. This teacher talked and talked, knowing that her students were listening attentively trying to absorb as much as they can from her rant. The kids were more interested in what she was saying than moving on to arithmetic. It showed how kids are very gullible. In the next reading it was about someone who was in an accident and before Baxter began reading he explained how it was…

After the third line, the poem abruptly changes from dialogue to description as Light launches into a spirited rant that describes the object of her ire as “a canvas on which paint never dries, a clay that never sets, steel that bends in a breeze (and) a melody that when it ends, no one can whistle”, (Light 4-7). This semantic division conjures an image of Light…

Macbeth’s Downfall Ezra Taft Benson once said, “You are free to choose, but are not free to alter the consequences of your decisions.” William Shakespeare’s, Macbeth, is a tragic play that follows the life of a man who springs to power and quickly abuses it. He in absolutely no way reached his position with honor, but by the cruel act of murder and deceit. This play amplifies the damaging psychological consequences of Macbeth’s rise to power that caused him to lose everything. Macbeth is solely…
