...One can conclude that by bringing a celebrity into the equation, the public will pay attention to the commercial and donate because the spokesperson had a celebrity identity. Sarah uses empowering words like “the animals are crying out for help” to convince the viewer to become an “angel” to the animals. The tone is Sarah’s voice wants to portray the need of donors in order to maintain hope for the abused animals. She refers a donation as a “gift” and illustrates examples on what a donation of $0.60 per day can provide. The ASPCA logo on the officer’s uniform and on the television screen also provides an ethos appeal. It shows authority and creditability that ASPCA knows what they are doing and is not intended for...

...for and not against and a positive step towards helping each other to strengthen themselves without the "white man's" help or permission. He said, "we have to get together and remove the evils, the vices, alcoholism, drug addiction, and other evils that are destroying the moral fiber of our community." These same perils are still faced by not only African Americans, but many of the disenfranchised as well. This has only been compounded by the heavy criminalization of drugs in this county. In addition to the mental and physical health crisis that results from drug addiction yielding those affected to become powerless and muted in this country, but the added prison time and criminal record ensure that they will probably never have a voice. In establishing that African Americans needed to resolve the moral issues they were facing as well, Malcolm X employed ethos in his argument beautifully. That being said, even the well respected within the community had an unfair fight on their...

... She does her research and then goes to a lawyer, Campbell Alexander, who has had some notable successes representing children in courts. Alexander goes around with a service dog, but he is not blind, deaf, or physically disabled, and he won't tell anyone what the dog is for. When Anna asks why he has the dog, called Judge, he wisecracks that he has an iron lung and the dog keeps him away from magnets. The novel takes the reader through the lawsuit, told from the points of view of each of the major characters, Anna, Kate, their brother Jessie, their parents Sarah and Brian, Campbell, and Anna's guardian ad litem, Julia, who turns out to have been Campbell's college girlfriend. On the audiobook, each character's portions is narrated by a different performer, which enhances the sense that these are genuinely different perspectives. The reader comes to understand the quandaries faced by Anna's parents, who love all their children but are forced to make impossible decisions by Kate's illness. Picoult's writing keeps the story moving along fast, and her style is smooth, almost slick. Each chapter starts out with a portentous quotation from a famous writer, and she crams the book full with flashbacks to emotionally powerful moments from the narrators' pasts. It is a work that might well work well in an undergraduate course on...

...Nicole Ferrier Mr. Elson ENG4U 22 July, 2016 Quotation Test Choice 1: Option 1 "How all occasions do inform against me And spur my dull revenge! What is a man, If his chief good and market of his time Be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more. Sure he that made us with such large discourse, Looking before and after, gave us not That capability and godlike reason To fust in us unus’d." 1. (4.4.31-38) - Hamlet. 2. This passage helps to develop the theme of revenge and the conflict between Hamlet and Claudius, as well as, Hamlet's inner conflict. Hamlet has a conflict with himself regarding what the right thing to do is the entire play. This passage displays his determination to push through a fog of the unknown and just get his revenge on Claudius. This somewhat develops Hamlet's character, but it definitely enhances the theme of revenge. 3. A literal translation: Everything I see shows me how wrong I am. It tells me I need to get on with my revenge faster. What's a human being if they only eat and sleep? Nothing but a beast. God didn't create us with such a big power of thought and the ability to reason in order for us not to use them. Choice 2: Option 4 "To cut his throat i’ the church." 1. (4.7.127) - Laertes. 2. This passage helps to develop the theme of death and also enhances conflict between Claudius and Hamlet.

...Stereotypes Stereotypes To generalize a group of people in a way that falsely groups them as behaving or describes them without any certain proof is considered a stereotype. Such stereotypes are placed upon young unwed parents, the Dutch, and as another example the aggression in Pit-bull Terriers. The fallacies within these stereotypes are topics that stand without reason but are commonly thought to be true, like life beyond our planet, it’s possible but there is no proof. Stereotyping people can have lasting negative effects. Studies have been done that have proven that those who are faced with a stereotype tend to perform poorly, have trouble controlling their aggression and making rational decisions, and can even lead to over eating (Kemick, 2010). To stereotype a person is to classify them as part of a group of people. This often leads to people feeling a “sense of being depersonalized” (Siy & Cheryan, 2013). When someone stereotypes another person they are judging them based on their group affiliation instead of their individual traits and attributes (Siy & Cheryan, 2013). This can lead to angry, hurt, or upset feelings. People generally want to be seen as the individual person they are and be judged according to that, rather than for who they are associated with. In my life I encounter many different stereotypes. I have been stereotyped myself, have stereotyped others, and have witnessed others stereotype others. After learning about stereotypes I can see...

...The debate surrounding gun control is one that can be very emotional and is often fueled by anger. This makes it an argument that is hard to balance if that emotion isn’t utilized effectively. In her piece “Get a Knife, Get a Dog, but Get Rid of Guns” columnist Molly Ivins fails to properly utilize emotion in a way that gets the reader on her side. In the article “The Progressive Gun-Control Charade” law professor and author Nicholas Johnson stays level-headed which, ultimately, works to his advantage in making him more agreeable. Both writers manage to add something to the discussion; however, Johnson argues his case just a bit better. Ivins’ clearly states her case: get rid of guns – all of them. While her unwavering conviction condemning the usage of guns entirely can be considered admirable, her overpowering anger works against her. She puts herself on one side of the extreme in such an aggressive way it alienates herself from being understood by the other...

...be more active in the day time which isn't good if you work third shift. Blackbirds are wonderful attributes to the wild because they warn of any predators in the area. Some of the noises that you hear outside are blackbirds signaling that danger is near. Sometimes the danger might even be you! Most of the time it's because there is a cat on the prowl or some other type of larger animal. Blackbirds may also do this in your home if you have a cat or dog loose in the house. Blackbirds are found in almost every state. They are very popular because of their color. They do not make the best pet. You can purchase other birds which are a lot more friendly and loving. I'm not telling you that you can't have a blackbird but you need to do your research and know what you are getting yourself into. In some states you may not be allowed to have a blackbird because it's known as a wild...

...textiles, and metal work. There were elements of resentment from the British people as well as perceived issues both real and speculative from the government’s perspective. The collection of dialogues, memorandums, and reports illustrate how the government tried to address the issues of work shortage and imported workers through arguments, both for and against, through facts and figures. They also used implicit language and spirited dialogue to justify their respective positions. The debate of colonial workers begins with correspondences between various government officials in the months of 1948 and 1949. The first of correspondences that delve into the problem of work shortage in the colonies and a shortage of workers in England was between Mr. Goldberg and Mr. Macmullan in October of 1948 and February of 1949 . Mr. Macmullan explains that the Colonial office has concocted a mutually beneficial scheme that would both help their office to alleviate work shortages in the colonies as well as fill the needs of the domestic front of manpower shortage. Interestingly, Mr. Macmullan argues that such an arrangement may be beneficial from the Colonial Office’s perspective. But from his point of view, he finds that the colonial workers would indeed prove useful but they would cause more problems than they would solve. He buttresses his point by explaining in his memorandum to Mr. Goldberg that the colonials would voluntarily come without any obligation and may or may not work in the industries...

There are all sorts of crimes committed such as murdering their loved ones and lies against others just for the sake of their own interests.

...A Comparison of “Dog’s Death” and “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night” Tammy McGee ENG 125: Introduction to Literature Instructor Jessica Dennis August 12, 2013 The theme I have chosen to write about is death and impermanence, and the two literary works I have chosen to compare and contrast are Dog’s Death by John Updike and Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night by Dylan Thomas. How we are affected by death, and how we accept that it is inevitable seems to be a theme for many short stories and poems. Death brings a struggle between the dying and the family and friends of the dying. All the loved ones of the dying want them to do is fight, to encourage them to stay positive, even when there is no chance of survival. We want to be selfish and want to spend as much time as we can with them before they die. Just as the two poets in these poems do. In Dog’s Death by John Updike, the dog wants to lie down, to hide so she can die peacefully but the family rushes her to the vet to try and save her. And in Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night by Dylan Thomas the father is being begged to fight against the inevitable death. I am going to show how loved ones want the dying to fight death, whereas the dying would like to come to peace with death and rest. Both Dog’s Death and Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night are poems, however they are structured differently. Dog’s Death is not a set structure, meaning to say it is not a certain type of poem. It has five stanzas...

...books by recounting stories of his experiences as an Asian American and providing events in history that connect his personal experiences to the larger picture of being an Asian American. Yellow: Race in America Beyond Black and White then moves onto the topic of “The Model Minority”. The idea of the model minority is that Asian are the perfect minority, all prospering without any problems despite their past hardships due to the hard work Asian put in without any complaints. However, this idea is rejected as a myth for three reasons. First off, it is highly inaccurate as a representation of all Asians in America. When you break down the difference between native Asian Americans and immigrant Asians, native-born Asian Americans do significantly poorer in education. And for those who do finish college, there is a lower return on investment as Asians are found to make less than their equivalent white counterparts. Immigrant...

...“Balboa” a short story by Sabina Murray AS YOU READ Pay special attention to descriptions of Balboa's relations with the Indians and the Spaniards. Write down any questions you generate during reading. Vasco Núñez de Balboa ascends the mountain alone. His one thousand Indians and two hundred Spaniards wait at the foot of the mountain, as if they are the Israelites and Balboa alone is off to speak with God. Balboa knows that from this peak he will be able to see the western water, what he has already decided to name the South Sea. He takes a musket with him. The Spaniards have been warned that if they follow, he will use it, because discovery is a tricky matter and he wants no competition. The day is September 25, 1513. Balboa ascends slowly. His musket is heavy and he would have gladly left it down below, but he doesn’t trust his countrymen any more than he trusts the sullen Indians. So he bears the weight. But the musket is nothing. He is dragging the mantle[1] of civilization up the pristine slopes, over the mud, over the leaves that cast as much shade as a parasol[2] but with none of the charm. Balboa is that divining line[3] between the modern and the primitive. As he moves, the shadow of Spain moves with him. Balboa steps cautiously into a muddy stream and watches with fascination as his boot sinks and sinks. He will have to find another way. Upstream he sees an outcropping of rock. Maybe he can cross there. He tells himself that there is no hurry, but years...

Movies tented to be moving and some movies become symbolism in movie history; but some movies are loved for their artistic similarity’s and people don’t stop there but they become captivated by the message at hand as well as the creators who shaped those films. One such person named Alejandro Gonzalez born on August 15, 1963 is a Mexican film director, producer, screenwriter, and former composer. He also is the first Mexican director to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director and the Directors Guild of America Award for great Directing, for his work in the movie Babel.
