Vagueness

characters indirectly address the human conditions of their existence. At first sight, the story seems very simplistic and apathetic but when the reader looks for a deeper perspective, they can find Hemingway’s hidden message behind it. He uses vagueness throughout the story so that it can bring readers to a higher level of comprehending the realities of life. In other words, the naked truth is buried deep underneath; where we reveal inner darkness, feelings of depression, and ultimate isolation…

Whether one realizes it or not, the interpretation of the Constitution is a vital part of everyday life. Edwin Meese put forth one way: originalism, which calls the courts and judges to interpret the Constitution according to what the founders intended. Contrastly, William Brennan believed the document should be constantly evolving and adapting to the situations brought up in legal disputes today. While both men offered insightful arguments, Meese presents a case with which I agree. Kelo v. New…

Love and Other Catastrophes: A Mix Tape was written by Amanda Brown in 2002. Although, in this case, the story cannot accurately be described as “written” or even a “story.” The work consists of a number of songs, arranged in a way so that the titles, when read consecutively, tells a story. The main point of the story, presumably, is to illustrate the cyclic nature of love, considering the fact that the mixtape starts and ends with the same song. However, the mixtape is poorly assembled,…

if any, terror plots have been foiled thanks to the law. I do believe it should be in place in order to punish - and rehabilitate - those that would terrorize others. A statute such as this needs to be in place, and while its reach and inherent vagueness make it dangerous, they are required. It’s how the law in interpreted and applied that…

The main issue with children’s rights in the American legal system is the lack of universal application and concrete statutes to protect the rights of adolescents. While it is universally acknowledged that children can commit adult acts with adult consequences there is rush in the legal system to label them as adults. More pressing is once juveniles cross over into the adult system their remaining actions as juvenile can be considered, and punished, by the adult system without juvenile…

Crescent can best be presented from a postmodernist angle as it deals with especially identity, multiculturalism, hybridity, ethnicity, exile, displacement as well as other relevant aspects such as intertextuality, language and narrative technique. Consequently, this study will shed light on the issues of identity, hybridity, exile and displacement. Though this work of Abu Jaber has already received the attention of many critics, I chose this novel of hers because of its relation with the Arabs'…

Chunk into three The Greatest Nature Essay by Brian Doyle can be divided into three portions: the why, the how, and the result of powerful nature writing. The first portion of why nature writing is important ends after the second paragraph where Doyle chooses to end it with, “...stories are the most crucial and necessary food, how come we never hardly say that out loud.” From this question and everything preceding tells the importance of nature writing. It lures in the reader with its beauty and…

The amendments in the Constitution did just that,and protected the basic rights to freedom. Some argue that the Constitution writes “We the People” but, it didn’t include minorities. Which was true, but as change happened over time the vagueness of who “We the People” were was broadened. For example women and people of color did not have rights to vote and weren’t considered citizens. This is where the Amendments came into play. The 19th amendment, became in effect in 1920, it gave women…

completed the offer were not expressed by Swan. An argument against the existence of a valid offer and formation of contract can be based on the lack of terms in Swan’s offer. For example, Bowen LJ in Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co states that ‘the vagueness as to the persons with whom the contract was intended to be made’ would show that ‘no contract was ever…

exhibited writing that shows audiences that I read, reflected, and responded to the poem through the essay (Gomez, “Anger and Deceit” 2). Though much progress was made, there were also struggles. My main concerns this semester were wordiness and vagueness. Essays should be clear to precise, yet smooth and not robotic. Finding a balance between these two qualities was a challenge. Vague writing that accomplishes nothing, was another concern. Asking myself about each sentence and whether it…
