The Blob

I quickly assessed the tent’s vulnerability to predators. Quick punches from underneath the tent accompanied the growing hisses and growls. Cocooned within my sleeping bag, I jumped on top of my companion and we both stared at an indecipherable blob that hissed and twitched underneath the tent…

afraid of dogs (sentiment) and being frightened by a dog (emotion), are essentially different states. Naturally, we also have sentiments regarding architecture, such as a dispositional love for susatinable architecture, or a dispositional dislike for blob…

The theory of evolution is a controversial subject for some. People who resent the theory of evolution think, “the world was covered in water and there was [nothing] but worms and blobs of jelly” (Inherit the Wind). However, to clear things up, the world was nothing like this. Several indisputable, famous studies and experiments have supported the theory of evolution. Bacterial antibiotic evolution is the growing resistance to antibiotics through mutations in bacteria’s DNA. Vestigial organs…

This quote from Charles Cooley explains the looking-glass self theory in his own words. In the words of Stienburg and Angelopulo (2015) the looking-glass self is the development of self-concept which is founded on the fact that people evaluate themselves based on the feedback from others, or based on how people think others perceive them. These so called “reflected perceptions” are formed during our interactions with those around us, whether they be close friends and family or complete strangers…

By plugging into the machine you would just be what Nozick calls “an intermediate blob” with “no answer to the question of what a person is like” (Nozick, 28). Your life would only consist of experiencing fake experiences with no actual interaction with other human beings; a world without relations, responsibility, love, goals and many…

contained heated space are shown at the beginning of Act Four when we are met with a sorrowful scene of the now-changed Tituba. Being trapped in a cell-like container, Tituba is shown in ruin. The woman has figuratively transformed into a hysteric blob of liquid metal, crying for the devil and acting uncontrollably. The solid, stable team we knew at the play's beginning has completely transformed under the pressure of Salem. Endurance is naturally much more challenging when there is no escape…

The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan was a sad and tragic event that killed thousands of innocent Japanese people. This fatal event could have been prevented with a single decision from our American Government in 1945. Our American government and President Truman decided that it would be better to take the lives of Japanese civilians, than to use a different plan that could have saved their lives. Michael Barnes is correct when he argues about atomic bombs being unnecessary to use in…

The flies are shown as disgusting creatures: “The pile of guts was a blob of flies that buzzed like a saw… Gorged, they alighted by his runnels of sweat and drank. They tickled under his nostrils and played leapfrog on his thighs. They were black and iridescent green and without number…” (123). They wouldn’t leave Simon…

I don’t know why I say the things I say. They had no meaning it was just a joke the goal was a good laugh not to offend others. I felt ashamed. During my eighth grade year I had said something that in my mind was hilarious, but was very offensive to some. The Sun slowly climbed over the peaks of the mountains and shed it’s first light of day. Every day was so repetitive it was almost robotic. That day was supposed to be like every other day, but it was not to be. I had finished Language Arts…

away from my friend and scanned the circumventing scene. I felt like I was floating. I can marginally make anything out, nor can I make out the static whispers of some familiar voices. All I can visually perceive are sizable voluminous blurred tinted blob like shapes, albeit I have my glasses on. In the distance I can a voice like a siren calling to me. Yet I can not open my mouth to verbalize the words that…
