...Bull Moose just stood there and let them continue with their mundane ways: confusing this wise, old moose with their pets “[the] women put to bed with their sons” (28). They ceased fire and continued to taunt him. However, the Bull Moose: “Straightened and lifted his horns So [even] the wardens backed away as they raised their rifles When he roared, people ran to their cars All the young men Leaned on their automobile horns as he toppled” (Nowlan, 30-34). This poem can help us decipher our actions and correct our biased views towards civilization and make people reconsider nature and wild life. By separating ourselves from nature, we may be losing the qualities that make us human to begin with. Nowlan contrasts humanity to nature through the use of literary devices, mainly comparisons and imagery. His method of deliverance emphasizes the ultimate suffering, death, which the Bull Moose experiences as a result of the human’s ignorance. Nowlan creates a vivid image for the reader with descriptive language like ‘lurching’ and ‘roared’ and the use of alliterations such as "giggling girl” (21). Continually, contrast is used to show the...

...Have a Dream" speech can be considered one of the greatest speeches in American history. Over 200,000 white and black Americans gathered in Washington D.C. on August 28, 1963 to hear Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. deliver this groundbreaking speech. This essay will analyze the speech for voice and rhetoric by showing King's main argument, how he supports that argument, identifying the language he used and the audience at whom it was directed. In addition, King argues that all men are equal and should be treated equal. Many times in his speech, King states how black citizens have been mistreated over the years. In the beginning of his speech King states "One hundred year later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination." King also states numerous times his dream for equality in the country. He says "I have a dream my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." However, King uses many historical documents to support his argument. The first document he mentions is the Emancipation Proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order signed by President Lincoln freeing the slaves in the confederate states. It was the first step in equality for African-Americans. King also mentions the United States Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. He references these documents and our founding father's...

...Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively impose domination over others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power. Behaviors used to assert such domination can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular targets. There are four kinds of bullying in school, in which all of them is very harmful; it is Physical, Verbal, Covert, and cyber bullying Theodore Roosevelt once quoted, “Knowing what’s right doesn’t mean much unless you do what’s right.” and this quotation made by the former US president applies to everything in life. People should not commit to just knowing that something is right; they have to commit to it fully and do exactly what is right. People know that they sometimes do wrong but what they really need to do is treat people with respect, think before they commit to their actions and understand that sometimes life doesn’t offer the second chances that they often take for granted. Knowing what is right, just like knowing that people should be treated right and be respected is nonsense if you are mistreating and disrespecting other people. People should learn how to incorporate truth in their lives and they should learn to accept what is right and live with it, so that we can live in a harmonious life. As stated...

...In metaphysics, there have been countless arguments to prove the existence, or absence, of certain kinds of things, such as universals. There have been several attempts find a solution to the problem of universals, an unresolved issue which revolves around the question of whether or not universals actually exist, and if so, which particular form they take. Though there are many possible solutions to this question, in modern metaphysics one of the most popular stances on the issue is Realism, which can be further boiled down into two popular schools of thought, Aristotelian realism and Platonic realism. Although both forms of realism agree that universals are actual entities, they are distinguished by their contradictory views on the independence of universals. Aristotelian realism asserts that universals exist exclusively as properties instantiated by particulars, while Platonic realism suggests that universals can exist as entities separate of their particulars. However, with regards to the problem of universals, this distinction is negligible because both forms of realism use the same essential logic to attempt to prove the existence of universals. Realism hinges upon the idea that in order for certain phrases and ideas to be true, universals must be considered distinct entities. For example, consider the statement “the sky is blue.” There is a known entity, the sky, that, in all senses of the word, can be accurately described as being blue. This much is indisputably true. But...

...condition. Two health associations want the Government to move public awareness in this direction. Malaysian Society for the Study of Obesity president Prof. Dr. Mohd Ismail Noor said the situation had become more urgent because there were more overweight children now.“They do not recognize that it (obesity) is a disease. So, no one cares and think it is okay to be fat. Once you treat it as a disease, it will make people aware,” he said. He said obesity was the underlying factor for chronic diseases such as diabetes. (Essay,UK, 2013) Malaysia is ranked sixth in the Asia-Pacific region for obesity and tops the list in South-East Asia for both obesity and diabetes. Deputy Health Minister Datuk Seri DrHilmiYahaya recently said that there were about three million obese Malaysians and the number was increasing while there were about five million individuals who suffer from varying degrees of diabetes. A sedentary lifestyle is among the main factors for the high incidence. Nutrition Society of Malaysia (NSM) president Dr Tee E Siong said while obesity was not listed as a cause of mortality, it should be considered a disease in Malaysia when “communicating to the public”.“This is because obesity is a major risk factor to many non-communicable diseases (NCD) such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke and certain types of cancers,” he said.

...Another theorist that supports our argument is Patricia Hill Collins. Hill Collins believes that gender cannot be marked as separate to race. Hill Collins theory of race, gender, and class asks us to think about race, class, and gender as interlocking systems of oppression. Multiple levels of domination are experienced through people being oppressed and discriminated. Hill Collins introduces this dominant theory of multiple levels of domination that involves gender as a site of identity and politics that sometimes involves African people. Collins believes that Afrocentric feminism is ultimately anchored in the unique experiences and struggles of ordinary African American women.

...TF 7:30-9:00 BS BAMan December 15, 2011 Descriptive Essay English 2 GOLDEN MEMORIES “High school is the best moment of a student’s life.” When I was a kid, my parents, teachers, older cousins, aunts, uncles – adults around me kept telling me that I’d really enjoy high school. They said that I’d laugh at corny jokes, cry, fight a lot of people, develop horrible eye-bags, annoy a lot of teachers and become a nuisance to the people in-charge. All of that happened, and then some…. Now that I’m already a college student, I can even add my own testimony about it: “High School rocks!!!” I remember my first day in my first year. It was hard, more nerve-wrecking than what I’ve experienced before. I grew up a recluse – my family transferred from the cement and asphalt of Makati to the mountains and grasses of Sarangani; transferred to the dusty trails of Doña Soledad and then settled on the dustier Fatima. I had sweaty palms, was slouching so much to lessen my tall height, not meeting anyone’s eyes and stayed really really quiet on a corner. My heart was tha-thump-tha-thumping so fast and I felt almost faint due to panic, timidness and unfamiliarity with everything. Being anti-social had me at a disadvantage when introducing myself to others. Yet, at the next day, despite my serious and odd behavior, I was elected as the president of the class – by people whom I didn’t know. They were all smiling after the election...

...ESSAY Asking the Right Questions: A Guide to Critical Thinking Author: Browne, M. N., & Keeley, S. M Lambent Nguyen University of Maryland University College AMBA 610 Professor Leigh Sempeles October 20, 2015 Introduction “Asking the Right Questions: A Guide to Critical Thinking.” (Eleventh Edition), by M. Neil Brown and Stuart M. Keeley provides the benefits of critical thinking as it relates to the process of asking the right kinds of questions. The authors define a critical thinking method by creating a 10-step strategy process that can be used to evaluate a memo from Mr. Anil Ravaswami, Vice-President of Human Resources of Cliffside Holding Company of Massapequa. The memo expressed his opinion about the junior leadership training program to Ms. Cynthia Castle, CEO of Cliffside Holding Company of Massapequa. Step 1: What are the issues and the conclusion? Finding the issue is raising questions about what is right and wrong, good or bad (Browne & Keely, 2010). The company want to send employees off-site each year for leadership training. (The request was for his office to evaluate the merit of the request.) The twelve senior executives hadn’t want to attend the seminar and yet the company was successful. They think that it is a waste. Mr. Anil Ravaswami, vice president of Human Resources believes that leadership traits are innate.

...section Vi essay forms Many people use the term “essay” to mean any paper written for a class. In actuality, there are many different types of essays, each of which has a unique purpose, form, and style. We call these different types of essays “modes of discourse,” and they include expository, persuasive, and comparecontrast essays to name just a few. This section of the Guide has a dual purpose. First, various types of essays are described and suggestions are included about how to approach each particular type of writing. Second, the sample essays are good tools for you to see how these different essays look in their final form. These are not templates (no essay can be a carbon copy of another even in form), but they will give you a good idea of what a final piece of writing for each mode of discourse looks like. It would be advantageous to critically analyze the form and content of each sample against the instruction for how to write each type of essay. chapter 21 expository essays Jennifer propp An expository essay explains something using facts rather than opinions. The purpose of this type of essay is to inform an audience about a subject. It is not intended to persuade or present an argument of any kind.

...forces. The speech was a request to declare war against Japan and to bring the United States into World War II. His use of rhetorical techniques effectively aided in grasping the attention of his audience and reminded the United States of the passion they have to defend their country after an attack like the one at Pearl Harbor. I chose to analyze Roosevelt’s speech to see if he met the available means of persuasion to evoke the intended response from his audience. Description of Artifact On December 7, 1941, hundreds of Japanese fighter planes charged Pearl Harbor’s naval base which lead to one of the greatest military surprises in the history of warfare. During the early afternoon of December 8th, the day after the vicious attacks, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his notable Pearl Harbor address in front of Congress in the House of Representatives and to a nationwide radio audience. The speech was roughly 6 minutes long, a short speech in the mind of many. The finishing point of speeches is usually a long process that takes more time to complete than this address. Roosevelt understood the importance of this issue and knew that he needed to face all of America as soon as possible. He presented the facts in a simple yet intriguing way that was necessary for explaining why war needed to be affirmed. For instance, this speech is commonly referred to as “The Infamy Speech.” This name derives from the very first line of the speech and in return it automatically grasped...
