Vagueness

Whoever writes English is involved in a struggle that never lets up even for a sentence. He is struggling against vagueness, against obscurity, against the lure of the decorative adjective, against the encroachment of Latin and Greek, and, above all, against the worn-out phrases and dead metaphors with which the language is cluttered up.” This quote showed exactly how…

The crux of the Michigan case rest largely upon nine (9) purported intercepted calls, which if proven false would not subject either brother to an indictment or to Michigan’s jurisdiction. The record lacks any evidence to prove that the lawyers filed several motions important to the outcome of the case. They did not file a Frank’s motion, a Motion to Suppress Evidence of Illegal Wiretapping under Title III and there is no motion under 901, 704 or 701 that could identify the voice or establish…

Many people often applaud the idea of freedom of choice and expression as it stands as one of the cornerstones of individuality. However, the negative effects of acting on one’s desires are often overlooked. In Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Stoker explores the idea that freedom of expression does not exist as an exclusively positive idea through the actions of the characters.

Perhaps the client was sexually…

semantics; it is easy to read because it follows a logical consequential style; it attracts the reader; it meets his/her expectations because it is carefully crafted for the intended reader; it is clear and concise because it avoids complexity and vagueness, and it is efficient and effective because it serves a clear goal, mission, and vision. (McLean, 2010, p. 131, 133). In the following essay, I will shed the light on the last 3 qualities by exploring the business-related article by Timothy…

In this specific passage, the narrator finds himself in a hole, surrounded by darkness. He is finally separate from all other driving forces that have affected him up to this point in his search for an identity, which would include the people he has encountered and the communities he has immersed himself in. By emphasizing impact through symbolism, irony, and vivid imagery within the narrator’s dream, Ralph Ellison is able to convey the critical importance of this section of the story. The…

They expect a lower performance in the Stroop task of black people when exposed to ambiguous prejudice environment rather than a blatant prejudice environment because they will find it difficult to deal with the vagueness of the condition. On the other hand, the authors think that white people will experience lower scores on the Stroop task when faced with blatant prejudice rather than ambiguous because they will have most likely not encountered it before so, they…

My personal ideologies correlates best with Canada’s Green Party due to a similar foundation of trust in citizens, powerful advocacy for Canada’s hushed and underlying issues in which the Green Party vocalizes on a prominent platform. To begin, my ideology consists of strong social liberties in which the LGBTQ community is no longer a minority group and coloured people aren’t labelled under the stamp of black, hispanic or yellow.

it. This unclear prose was a contagion which had spread to those who did not intend to hide the truth, and it concealed a writer's thoughts from himself and others. Here we find that Orwell encourages concreteness and clarity as an alternative of vagueness and individuality over political conformity.
