I am originally from a small rural community in Ohio which has poor regulation on the air and water quality which humans depend on to sustain life. Throughout the city, hydraulic fracking has become a common method to obtain energy. This method of obtaining energy is misconceptualized to be a cleaner alternative to oil and coal, however, with a first hand on experience with living in this area allows me to witness otherwise. This city is known as Youngstown, Ohio. Hydraulic fracking is a…

These past weeks I have visited a dear friend of mine with the purpose of getting this paper done. A friend that is already 85 years old and that has been part of my life since the day I was born. That friend is my grandpa, who is also the father of my mother. With the visits that I have done lately I have learned much more of him than what I knew before. As well as understanding some of his stages as indicated by Erickson’s Theory, and some of his identity statuses as indicated by Marcia’s…

Homers’ epic, the Iliad, is the earliest written account of Greek warfare composed circa 750 BC. In his epic, Homer describes a style of warfare that, at first glance, appears to be alien to hoplite warfare that was present in the 5th-century BC. However, there is literary evidence in the Iliad that might contest that. Additionally, recent archaeological discoveries reinforce the idea that hoplite warfare may not be as clear cut as convention suggests. While Homeric and hoplite warfare may not…

government continues to pay for obesity victims’ medications, then they won’t have any “incentive” to improve their eating habits (397). I believe that “incentive” is such an impactful word because it inspires good deeds as it means inspiring someone to do something good. Blako uses the word incentive instead of some common words like motivation or spur to make his statement more powerful. Balko also uses phrases like, “A society where everyone is responsible for everyone else’s well-being is a…

My ideal grade level for teaching would be first grade. In first grade, students are still learning the basics of reading and writing. I believe in first grade is a big transition from kindergarten because students begin to read fluently and comprehend what they are reading. I believe the big goals in first grade are to read simple stories and write about a topic that that means a lot to them. Teachers can do this by using different teaching strategies throughout the school year, with centers…

preference in language use by native speakers of certain sequences of words over others (Wray, 2000). It is the mastery of these word sequences that distinguishes novice from proficient L2 learners. Yet, there is still little agreement across studies on the number of words inhabit each sequence that worthy to define, the identification criteria, what to call them and how to teach them. In other words, it is difficult to identify a word sequence as being formulaic. On the one hand, some of the…

or personal thoughts that the reader is given to understand the characters. Due to this, the character development shown throughout the book is seen by the word choice of the letters alone. Since Nollop is an island that treasures language to a high standard, it would make sense that the reader sees the characters through the eyes of written word. After reading Ella Minnow Pea, I was amazed at how Mark Dunn had been able to strategically pull off this type of writing, and was able to show…

The course, “Common Usage Errors” shows that often these mistakes come into play because of commonly confused word pairs, commonly misused words or idiomatic use of prepositions. Commonly confused words can sound very similar or have a meaning that is close to another word – for example, affect or effect. Combining verbs, nouns, or adjectives with prepositions can also be confusing because their meanings can change depending on context and…

past sins and the forsaking of them in the future as his heart is changed and healed. The words “honey” and “white” are also used in this stanza. Honey is used eighteen times within the Bible in the context of “flowing with milk and honey” meaning a land most desirable (The Holy Bible). Just as the land with honey is desirable, the change that is taking place is also desirable. This is exemplified with the word “white”. White is the color of purity. White is defined as “morally or spiritually…
