Second

After completing one year of college, I moved on to work and then getting marriage and raising children. In sixteen years, I had only worked at two jobs which I personally loved. I got hired as the administrative assistant in the optometry office. The other is the civil and structural engineering firm that hired me as the design technician. For both offices, I had worked closely with my coworkers to deliver the products that meet the needs of the customers. At the optometry office, I…

Concepts: Monogamy, Second Shift Including myself, my family and friends practices monogamy. Most of my family members and friends are not even aware that they practice monogamy. To them, it is all they know and are accustomed to. They do not even consider other practices like polygamy or polyandry; probably because it was never exposed to them. According to Dalton Conley (2015), monogamy is “the practice of having only one sexual partner or spouse at a time” (p. 372). In other words, only…

published in November’s edition of American Survival Guide magazine. The first article titled “Submerged in Seconds” was written by Michael D’Angona. D’Angona explains situations for setting up tents in the wilderness, and recognizing signs of frequent flash flood locations. He also explains reasons to avoid the water in flooded streets and head to higher ground, even rooftops if accessible. The second article “Don’t be a Cold-Weather Casualty” was written by Larry Schwartz. Schwartz lists many…

Article 1 section 8 to be able to raise a standing army. This kind of thing upset a lot of people, mainly the anti-federalist who believed that this proposed constitution would take away from the state’s ability to defend against federal usurpation. The second amend gave up nothing to the anti-federalist wants to limit the power of the federal government and was ultimately accepted because of a unanimous agreement that the federal government should not be able to infringe on the right of the…

Humans are bound by science. In everything we do, scientific laws have been put into place to help us come to terms with our existence on this planet. One of the most important of these laws is the second law of thermodynamics, which is also known as entropy. In thermodynamics, entropy is a “quantity representing the amount of energy in a system that is no longer available for doing mechanical work” (Vocabulary, 2016), while in a philosophical sense entropy is the migration from order to chaos.…

future humankind on both a local and universal scale. The ramifications of conflict emerge as concepts in poems such as An Irish Airman Foresees His Death, which examines destiny and the meaning of giving our life to a greater cause. Furthermore, The Second Coming highlights Yeats’s opinion on the apocalyptic cycle of nature while The Wild Swans at Coole delves into the effects of realising the impermanence of our circumstances . Overall, Yeats explores the impact of social and political…

Fault of an Image: Agency and Inevitability in “The Second Coming” The anxieties regarding global chaos and the possibility of individual culpability that inundated popular thought in the aftermath of World War I informs William Butler Yeats’s poem, “The Second Coming.” At its core, the poem is an exploration of the equivocal boundaries between individual agency—and further, responsibility—and the inevitability of world events determined by an act of divine providence. Rather than embracing…

Second grade is an amazing year for young students. This is when the English Language Arts learning begins transitioning from learning to read to reading to learn. The PA standards reflect that the student’s learning should focus on reading fluency, comprehension, and phonemic skills in addition to introducing, identifying, and using literary devices. There is a lot that the teachers need to cover in English Language Arts and that is why integration is my favorite thing. Many of the skills that…

making. Several new products were introduced, increasing the need for factory workers to make them, trains to ship them in, and businessmen to sell them. These, along with several others, were all needs that America met with ease, giving way to the second industrial revolution. In order to properly execute an industrial revolution, there are several factors that a nation must be able to provide. One of the most important ones is cheap labor: factory owners want to pay as little as possible for…

In this version of “The Second Son,” I took your advice to tell the story from another POV the extreme and changed from “single I” to an epistolary piece, with no central narrator. In this version, Mal Dallon is less of a “crazy” man, wandering the streets and fighting off his own personal demons, and more of an ignored messiah, in that he’s bringing a message to an unenlightened world (through his death), only for it to be quickly forgotten for the next news bite. Is this version better than…
