Over the past years, traffic congestion has become a serious problem in Metro Manila, specifically the Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA). This results in loss of travel time, and huge economic and societal costs.

The demand for transportation infrastracture has increased because they asociate…

Grass is incapable of speech. Or any intelligent thoughts for that matter. But if grass was sentient, what would it think of human race. Would it be impressed by our progress, or disappointed at all the obstacles we have yet to overcome? Carl Sandberg seems to believe the latter, as he writes of an impassive being posing as grass. He captures the unbiased perspective of nature and illustrates how pointless human warfare is to a being above such trivial matters. Sandburg, in his poem Grass,…

We are told that they know how to get out, because they know who has the key, however they are afraid of what lies beyond their safe walls out in the world. They initially think that they know what is best for themselves. Eventually they come to the conclusion that they must take the chance…

It usually consists of loose particles, which are frequently made out of sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, or cobblestones. The particles living at a beach are occasionally biological to the origins, such as mollusk shells or coralline algae. Beaches typically appear around areas along the coast where there is a wave or current activity (Wikipedia,…

attracted most attentions from researchers in Interlanguage pragmatics (ILP). Previous studies focus on the perception (Garcia, 2004) and the production (Pinto, 2005) of requests from L2 learners with different language levels. Burgeoning interests in interlanguage pragmatic development in recent years have resulted in the investigation of the relationship between second language proficiency and the sequence organization when making requests (Al-Gahtani & Roever, 2011). However, the participants…

E Yeon Chang (장이연) EN 540: Mr. Fornshell Shakespeare Teagle Love, As Seen in Shakespeare’s Sonnets Due to his eminence as a playwright, Shakespeare’s caliber as a poet has a tendency of going overlooked. Compared to his theatrical works, the Bard’s sonnets have been greatly under examined and, even when analyzed, critics often narrowly focus on whom the works are addressed to or their biographic implications.
