Something Awful

as I read I feel very much like the author is trying incredibly hard to create something (to be completely frank I am not sure what that something is).

of golf understands just how much time and effort goes into the sport. I’m not a good golfer. I’m not exceptionally awful, but definitely not good. My mother and stepfather got me interested in the sport 3 years ago, and I’m still bad. However, as someone who has never had to work to be good at much in my life, golf is a good lesson. It’s perfectly acceptable to merely enjoy something and not be perfect- a concept lost in the fast-paced, dog eat dog world we live in. First thing’s first: I’m…

overweight? That is awful, there should not be that many people who are overweight. So many people who are already overweight don't even try to get there body back healthy again, and so many people when they are overweight don't want to do anything because they are too scared to go out into public with the body that they have.

You do not hear what great family dogs they are and that they are even being used as service dogs!.Today I own 4 "Pitbulls" and they are my…

and everyone wears their own veil. After church, an old member said, “‘I don’t like it,’ muttered an old woman, as she hobbled into the meeting-house. ‘He has changed himself into something awful, only by hiding his face’” (Hawthorne 2). This quote shows that the old member is inferring that Mr. Hooper has become and awful man because he changed his physical appearance.

away her conclusion. Had she instead titled the paper “Someone Who Cares A Whole Awful Lot: Dr. Seuss Uses Entertainment Value and Relatability As Rhetorical Tools When Writing Political Parables for Adolescents,” potential readers would not need to read the article because the title has been ineffectually turned into a summation. Instead, with Mikal Cardine’s two halves combined, "Someone Who Cares A Whole Awful Lot: The Rhetoric Of Dr. Seuss’s Political Parable” sets the tone for potential…
