Rant

I think that the recent shooting prompted such a swift action because the shooter had a connection to the Confederate flag. The shooter, Dylan Roof, was discovered to have a website containing his connections to the flag, “Along with racist rants, it showed Roof posing with Confederate symbols, including the battle flag.”. This connection could have caused the removal of the Confederate flag from South Carolina’s State House because people could connect Roof’s action and his personal view of the…

In response to teaching his first freshman class in years, Keith Parsons, am old fashioned, often condescending professor at University of Houston-Clear Lake, writes an article entitled “Message to My Freshman Students." The purpose of this article is to lecture incoming freshmen on the differences between high school and college, specifically, in how they are taught and how they learn. Parsons believes that students do not understand the logistics of a college education. In his opinion,…

As a teacher in Cabarrus County I am very much aware that his letter will probably be viewed as the rants of a disgruntled parent. I am not disgruntled I am disheartened by the athletic department at Northwest Cabarrus High School. I have been an active supporter of the athletic department for eight years. It was no secret I was disappointed my son was cut from the basketball team his senior year after having played since seventh grade and two years on the varsity team. However I was most…

her friends for a while and then goes down to Mrs. Burges class which is her first block class. Hannah dreads this class, it isn’t fun and she can’t stand the teacher. She endures Mrs. Burges’ daily rant about why Hillary should’ve been president and then another about climate change by the time the rants are almost over the bell is finally over. Hannah runs to her locker throws her books in and goes to Mrs. Hackers class. She struggles in that class but it’s her fault and she’s learning how to…

Friedrich Nietzsche takes a markedly different stance on knowledge- exhibiting a poetic yet nihilistic perspective in his rant On Truth and Lies. Nietzsche persuasively argues that perceived knowledge is merely a human construct capable of fabricating “the illusion of truth”, while also unfolding its principle power in “dissimulation” (Nietzsche 13). Truth as a product of untruth, he claims, exists as a survival mechanism for humans, and that society hypothesizes these ‘truths’ from discrete…

satisfactory. The most inspiring about this theory is Canadians identifying their real selves in relation to places outside Canada. I like the Current trends on commercials which are unearthing the real Canadian identity. Examples of commercials like Rant and I am Canadian Anthem are admirable in their approach in utilizing nationalist plots in their narratives. Such platforms are likeable in the fat that they try to depict the true meaning of Canadian. Actually I agree on is the fact that,…

political views and West’s comments are perceived as “leaning left”. The source gathered the information firsthand from TMZ reporters and Kanye West’s twitter account before the deletion of the tweets. The evidence came from direct observations of West’s rant at TMZ studios as well as his twitter account; the evidence can also support the claim. However, West’s comments and the bias of CNN, being ultra liberal, were a conflict of interest. Within the published articles, the audience can sense…

writing because I start to think about other areas of the topic and do not stay focused on the main point. I go on rants about topics that are not related to the main point. For example, in my first development write about the silicon valley school, I do not get to the main purpose of the text until a few paragraphs down. I also never state the author or article because I went on a rant about how the school was changing. I believe not making an outline correlates with me getting off topic…

In the excerpt of the novel “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” Mark Twain uses satire to highlight the inherent flaws within Pap’s monologue, which reflects as criticism to the Southern way of life that is filled with racism and indoctrination. Pap’s rant reflects the hypocrisy of the Southern society at the time, “They said he could vote, when he was at home. Well, that lets me out. Thinks I, what is the country a-coming to? It was 'lection day, and I was just about to go and vote myself if I…
