Words That Kill “Your words have power, use them wisely.”This quote says, Tords can harm people or help them. Just like in the case of Michelle Carter. Where Michelle used her freedom of speech to convince her boyfriend Roy to kill himself. There is proof of Michelle trying to convince Roy. One of the proof would be how she messages him and the words she uses. Another proof would be that Michelle did not take any action to stop what he was doing. The third and most important is that when Roy was…

One of my favorite words is “shalom.” Shalom is a Hebrew word that has multiple meanings. It is commonly used as a greeting in Jewish culture, utilized similarly to the English “hello.” It literally translates as “well-being be upon you” or “may you be well.” Jesus even appropriated a similar phrase in John 20:2, “shalom Aleichem,” which in English is literally translated as “Peace be unto you.” It can also be used to refer to peace between entities or individuals. Jewish people may call for…

Swagger, unlike swag, could actually be found in the…

The thing I disliked the most about English was irregular Verb. In Steven Pinker’s essay, Horton Heared a Who! The author presented an interesting idea regarding the linguistic development when one learned a new language. Professor Pinker introduced the idea that English verbs can be divided into two main types: The regular verb that could be conjugated with normal rules and other Verbs that need special conjugations. Those special verbs, Pinker believe, are difficult to pick up and learned and…

Using generic criticism in analyzing commencement speeches has also been done. In her thesis, The Development of a Genre: Commencement Addresses Delivered by Popular Cultural Icons, Gault (2008) examined the genre of commencement rhetoric and utilized commencement speeches to determine the significant characteristics of the genre.
