stanza, ‘shall’ is used. Similar to a demand, the OED describes ‘shall’ as “to owe allegiance to” and recognizes that in Old English ‘shall’ was used to, “express necessity or indicate what is appointed or settled to take place”. “I shall expect” is a phrase Whitman uses in this stanza with ‘expect’ being analogous to demand. In the OED, expect is “to require someone to do something in fulfillment of an obligation”. Whitman seems to say that if you identify as American, you are indebted to the…

The genetic makeup of humans comes from a sum of DNA from both parents; this is known as a genotype and is what psychologists recognize as nature.

My rightful hand in a well-hallowed cause.” (302-306). This allusion to God can be interpreted as a reference to the famous Biblical verse from Galatians 6:7, “You reap what you sow”, as well as the phrase, “An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth”. In this speech, Henry is alluding to these phrases as a sense of Biblical justification for him to impose destruction on France for being mocked. This passage also demonstrates Henry’s rhetorical savviness in making decisions rather than purely…

I remembered a WD-40 ad supposedly from 1964 that someone made and put up on Facebook, filled with a bunch of dirty sexual comments towards WD-40. The title of this fake ad started off stating, “Do You Have TIGHT NUTS or A RUSTY TOOL?” and this phrase made me among other viewers remember this ad. Now when WD-40 heard about this ad and saw it on Facebook, the companies only remarks about the ad was, “Awesome”(“WD-Naughty” ). The company may not have made this ad, but it helps them sell the…

black nigger yonder ruttin' on my Mayella!" (Lee 84). In that one sentence, Ewell dehumanizes and insults Tom Robinson. He says that Tom was “ruttin’” on Mayella, which is a verb usually attributed to animals. Second, he calls Tom a “black nigger”. The word “n****r” is an incredibly offensive word, and the redundancy of the phrase emphasizes how he holds race above all else. By showing how Ewell talks, Harper Lee presents readers with what forms racism comes in, and how harmful it can be. Now,…
