The Little Voice

When starting something new or changing an aspect of your life, you may have a little voice in your head that is doubtful of your abilities to succeed. The little voice that says things like “I am such a disappointment” or in my case, “Why did I even think about taking Psychology 150? I can not pass that class.” This little voice, as small as it may be, slowly eats away at your confidence until there is nothing left...unless you learn how to diminish it. On the same note, while reading an article titled “3 Secrets for Silencing Your Inner Critic,” by Andy Molinsky, I learned many things on how to do just that. Molinsky’s article in summary concluded three main tactics for suppressing your “inner critic” while also explaining that a lot of people have an inner voice and it is not just you. The three steps are letting your rational self take the wheel, remembering your best self and treating yourself like you would treat your best friend. I will clarify what these steps actually mean later in my paper. Firstly, step one is letting your rational self take control of the situation. In many ways, we allow our doubts to control our situation. This is something that occurs naturally and we have to condition ourselves to silence it. When you begin to get nervous, stop. Think to yourself, “I can do this.” You do…

Russel was a terribly timid man, so fearful that the villagers labelled him “Russel the Spineless”, yelling various insults as he walked around their little village each day.

Out of all his tormentors, the most profound was the grave digger, who had hated Russel ever since he learnt that Russel was too scared to consider even crossing the cemetery. This man never missed an opportunity to mock him. It…

This poem, written in 1922, expresses how Cummings attempted to convey his emotions through his work. This poem remains true to his romantic style of writing. He describes how her voice takes him “up/ Up/ with the pale important/ stars and the Humorous/ moon.” His flowery diction and seemingly random, though clearly intentional capitalization throughout the poem create interest and emphasis on important words such as “Up… Humorous…” and, “Sweetly.” He also uses personification to create a…

connect to Stephen King on a deeper level, and I have his writing to thank for this. How characters interact through dialogue reveals a lot about them, although they may not know it themselves. On page 86, King recalls the time the paperback rights to Carrie were bought. He received a large sum of money, which was more than enough to provide for his family. On this page, he uses dialogue to grab the reader's attention and voice his emotions. His use of dialogue is very effective here because…

begin the EEG in the priming condition when the participants heard the word “was” + past-tense verb, which is an indicator in English that the sentence is following the passive voice structure. Accounting for EEG limitations There are always aspects that need to be accounted for in an EEG study for it to be accurate, and minimize as much noise as possible. As Steven Luck (2005) mentions, it is first important to avoid physical stimulus confounds when possible. This can be implemented by using…
