This cultural comparison clearly identify the same word but in different ways witheach culture illustrating the power of lingustics in cultural understanging. Part two of…

Meanwhile, as Judge Sandoval got his cherry ass busted open by Min-jun, Bailiff Bob stood guard outside the Jury’s Deliberation Room. This was freakin’ foolish. Here I am babysitting these jurors, while the Judge interrogates that Defendant. All of this in the name of law! Bailiff Bob could hear the jurors and the arrogant box-tie wearing Foreman in a heated discussion behind the closed door. This was the only way in or out of the Deliberation Room. The door had a frosted glass panel on the…

Overall, the male songs sent vulgar messages about women. In the song "Bandz a Make Her Dance" by Juicy J, the artist professes that prostitution, drugs and money define his daily life. As the name suggests, "The Thong Song" by Sisqo is about a man wanting a woman to show him her thong and gyrate her behind. "Mercy" by Kanye West" talks about adultery, drug use, and prostitution. The song that had the most exaggerated sexual theme was "Magic Stick" by 50 Cent and Lil' Kim. I can remember being…

their own time, away from the forensic team. The knife could lead them to the slain girl’s murderer, she was a friend of theirs, an informant who dished out more than information. The last time they saw her alive, she was dancing for them in a red thong; a body to die for, now laying on a slab in the city morgue. The fingerprints were a dead…

In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the author's rhetorical purpose is to teach us about Feminism and masculism. To show men are not the other actors. In most stories with a knight the man is always the main character, in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight the main character is Lady Bertilak. In the book there are many rhetorical patterns from bob and wheel to alliteration. The first rhetorical pattern I found in the story is colors. Throughout the poem the colors green and gold repeat. Green I…

hanger with a two-piece white bikini outfit on it. The bra top and the waistband of the thong were covered with red, white, and blue sequins. It came with a matching garter. “Nice. Patriotic,” Angel said. She had gotten a new gown, full length black with the stomach cut out. Rhinestones lined the top and it had slits on both sides that went all the way up to her hips. I could see the matching rhinestone trimmed thong peeking out the sides. She looked fantastic. “That’s hot. I need to add…

These days our world has many stereotypes, stereotypes can be considered racist, disrespectful and unacceptable. Australia has many stereotypes. All around the world people have different thoughts and opinions on Australia, through what these people think Australia get these stereotypes that change Australia’s identity.

that we are a multicultural country and the flag doesn't not show that. The Australian flag as the song does not represent Australia anymore and the owners of this land. This flag is a bunch of stripes and mistaken with New Zealand, we should have a thong in the middle that would be a flag. On a serious point, Australia needs more than that, something that you can put on a wall in your house and be proud we live in this country, as well as the song that we can sing with all our might and we…

reader-response criticism, because “two different readers may derive completely different interpretations of the same literary text” (Critical Approaches to Lit). While honest trailers view this film as having inappropriate actions such as “wearing thongs and holding hands”, someone else may view this appropriately given that they are in medieval time…

The Lincoln Memorial "In this temple, as in the hearts of the people for whom he saved the Union, the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever." This is written above the statue of Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial as “an enduring symbol of unity, strength, and wisdom” (Lincoln Memorial U.S. National Park Service). Both the 16th President and the Lincoln Memorial stand for some important American concepts: democracy, freedom and equality, and unity. Henry Bacon, the architect of the…
