The Masque of The Red Death The Masque of The Red Death By Edgar Allan Poe is a take from the disease that ravaged Europe in the 14th century. The Red Death that is used throughout the story is supposed to be the deadlier version of The Black Death. The use of imagery throughout the passage enforces the dark, deadly, and inevitable force of nature that is The Red Death. The setting of The Masque of Red Death can be depicted as dark, and ravaged by death. “After several months of seclusion, the…

I stand in the stationary section of Walmart looking at journals. The shelves tower over me as I take in the possibilities that await for me on this quest. The journals that catch my eye are not the standard compositions, but the red ones, blue ones, and the colorful Lisa Franks. I continue to the pens; only the most colorful would do. My eyes rake across each package until I come across the one that I know is the most powerful tool the world has to offer. As I look at my full hands, I know…

In her memoir, Sonia Sotomayor expresses the emotional and commemorate events from her childhood through adult life that helped her become the persevered and intelligent woman she is today. At the age of eight, she was diagnosed with type one diabetes, which implicated that she had to learn over her childhood how to apply her insulin shots on her own. The parents were always arguing because the father was an unreliable alcoholic, and the mother a nurse who worked long hours. To avoid conflict…

With USA Today debuting in 1982, it has continued to focus on innovative avenues for continued success and growth as the preferred news source. Personally, I am a very visual news consumer; therefore, what I enjoy most about the USA Today newspaper is the visual and eye catching content it has embedded within the paper -- digital and print versions. The vision the stakeholders had prior to the launch of USA Today was to have a unique approach to an audience and provide more news in less time…

The journal article “Coffee, tea and caffeine intake and the risk of severe depression in middle-aged Finnish men: the Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study”, had to deal with the correlation between coffee, tea, and caffeine consumption and depression. It was a population-based cohort study, which means that it focused on a section of a population for an amount of time. The study was conducted using 2232 middle-aged men, most of them being 42, 48, 54, and 60 years old, who lived in…

Defoe 's constant references to God in the journal of the plague year seem to highlight the importance of religion to people in 1664. Instead of keeping with the Christian values of the state, due to fear of the potential of a traumatic experience, the infected people were confined to their home.…

The article I chose, written by Shan Wang for Nieman Lab, focused around paywalls, specifically centered around the Wall Street Journals and their paywalls. A paywall is when an online media outlet charges a fee for access to their news content. The article discusses how paywalls are negative because casual readers are at a disadvantage. They are unable to test out a news source before committing to a payment. The article then describes two types of paywalls: hard and soft. Hard paywalls allow…

research article is credible and scholarly, it is important to not only look at the credibility of the authors, but to also look at the significance of the article, the potential gaps in the study and ensure the article comes from a peer-reviewed journal. There are two very different methods of scholarly research; quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative research uses statistical analysis and is more rigid. The data is of primary importance and conclusions are drawn from the interpretation…

that research has on the scientific community. The narrative format provides the reader insight into the exciting journey that the scientists embarked upon as they undertook this research topic, a story that would have been impossible to convey if it been written in a traditional scientific format such as a textbook or journal article. The book opens with a discussion of the opium addiction crisis that became prominent in the U.S. political arena during the…

There are two main types of sources used in scientific literature. These are primary and secondary sources. A primary source can be defined as original content. It is information that has been obtained via original research, experimentation, thoughts and observations. Usually a primary piece of literature is written in first person. In contrast, a secondary piece of literature is one that examines a primary source (1). A review article would be an example of a secondary piece of literature…
