When John Milton's college friend, Edward King, drowned off of the Welsh coast 1, Milton wrote Lycidas in memoriam. A pastoral elegy, the poem represents King as the lost shepherd Lycidas and uses agricultural imagery to portray loss. The majority of the poem is spent highlighting the irrevocability and completeness of death, that is until lines 165-168: "Weep no more, woeful…

venture to the theater hoping for some great awareness to come falling down upon me, yet I leave oblivious to the meanings of the play, meanings that go further then the famous, "To be, or not to be" of Hamlet. McWhorter confronts these issues in Word on the Street, explaining a number of different reasons as to why people explain why modern Americans cannot understand or fully appreciate Shakespeare.

government continues to pay for obesity victims’ medications, then they won’t have any “incentive” to improve their eating habits (397). I believe that “incentive” is such an impactful word because it inspires good deeds as it means inspiring someone to do something good. Blako uses the word incentive instead of some common words like motivation or spur to make his statement more powerful. Balko also uses phrases like, “A society where everyone is responsible for everyone else’s well-being is a…

My ideal grade level for teaching would be first grade. In first grade, students are still learning the basics of reading and writing. I believe in first grade is a big transition from kindergarten because students begin to read fluently and comprehend what they are reading. I believe the big goals in first grade are to read simple stories and write about a topic that that means a lot to them. Teachers can do this by using different teaching strategies throughout the school year, with centers…

preference in language use by native speakers of certain sequences of words over others (Wray, 2000). It is the mastery of these word sequences that distinguishes novice from proficient L2 learners. Yet, there is still little agreement across studies on the number of words inhabit each sequence that worthy to define, the identification criteria, what to call them and how to teach them.
