Rant

If high school has taught us one thing, it is to absolutely hate homework. College has a lot of ground to make up if it truly expects us to enjoy ourselves while doing assignments. Yet I’d dare to say it’s getting there. There is one trick to know in order to help yourself along. No more choosing topics just because the teacher would like them or because you already have a lot of information about it saved from that one high school paper you did three years ago. The fact of that matter is…

does actively work to remedy the situation, as well as makes adjustments to his behavior so that it may not happen again. In the later seasons, Ron marries a lovely woman named Diane, who has two young daughters. During one of Ron’s anti-technology rants, he destroys his cellphone and declares that he will no longer be using the internet. However, Diane had gotten a flat tire that day and was left stranded on the side of the road for a long while because she could not get ahold of her husband.…

In the words of early twentieth century novelist Jeffery Farnol, “For vengeance is an emptiness, and he that seeketh it wasteth himself.” Just as Farnol implies, Edmond Dantès was drowned in his desire for revenge. Dantès’ life was ruined when three men, jealous of his perfect life, framed him for treason and sentenced Dantès to fourteen years of pain and sorrow in the Chateau d’If, France’s most notorious prison. When Dantès eventually escapes, he sets out on a quest to avenge himself by making…

Humans are intriguing. In the wake of the most horrific mass murder and largest terrorist attack to ever find its way to a country’s shores a person will do almost anything to help those suffering; millions offered their money, time, and in some cases even their lives to save the victims of the attacks. Otherwise a group of people can unify under a common flag to provide aid to the afflicted; thousands of individuals donated an unprecedented amount of blood after the 9/11 attacks; however the…

The art of metacommentary is truly one of the most prized techniques in a writers’ repertoire. Not only does this unique method allow the writer to clarify any misunderstandings in their work, but it also enables them to further elaborate on their topic. By developing arguments in this way, the writer avoids miscommunication and stimulates a deeper engagement from the reader. In David L. Kirp essay “What Can Stop Kids From Dropping Out”, he exploits the art of metacommentary to enhance his…

overheard us and cackled like a bitter hyena and told us we weren’t allowed to talk about our personal lives at work and to focus on the job at hand. On the other hand, whenever she wanted to mutter about her weekend, she expected us to listen to her rant like a blaring macaw…

Honestly, I do not want to become a teacher what so ever. I have always been frustrated with the American school system, and have always seen more wrong than good. For instance, it frustrates me to no end what we focus on in schools: we no longer focus on the basics of life and how students will grow to interact with their environments, succeeding on what is already built around them. No, instead we now focus on standardized tests, and our jobs now literally depend on how our students pass these…

enlighten the audience, not fight the opposition. The teacher places the truth above the opponent by denying the very existence of an opponent in his drills. He shows his students that a knowledgeable argument will get them further than an uneducated rant ever will. By encouraging the debaters to use their education to express the truth, Mr. Tolson conveys the utter importance of knowledge. In another instance, in an effort to bring the debate team closer together, Mr. Tolson asks them questions…

entire sequence of events makes up the exposition of Crime and Punishment and introduces alienation as the theme. From there the rising action begins and Raskolnikov ends up going to a bar, where he meets and listens to Semyon Zakharovich Marmeladov rant about his wife's past and his daughter, Sonia. Semyon continues endlessly about how his daughter needs financial help, yet he still asks and takes…

plan to ensure that Odysseus is who he claims himself to be. She tells the servant Eurycleia to make his bed and to “place it outside the bedchamber my lord built with his own hands” (962). This causes Odysseus to become enraged and he breaks into a rant about how he crafted the bed out of the olive tree. Likewise, I also become extremely protective over anything within my possession. Quite a while ago, my iPad went missing, and despite my relentless searching, I could not find it anywhere.…
