and it is one of the best. One Direction expresses figurative language in a few places in the song. They use a good example of hyperbole when they say, “If I didn't have you there would be nothing left…” (One Direction 7). They over exaggerate that if the love of their life was gone, he would have nothing else to live for, but there are a million things to live for. Which some people might believe that their world is going to come crashing down but only time will

operation while Gus is the weak one with nothing to do but smoke cigarettes and ask questions. This is made apparent in the beginning of the play when Ben orders him to make tea while he just continued to read his newspaper as if he were entitled to Gus’ servitude. Through this interaction between these two malefactors, a dynamic relationship is constructed thus birthing a plot even though the play takes place in just one tiny room.

first objection to the Stone Paradox is from George Mavrodes. He argues that the paradox is logically impossible. The claim that someone, x, can make something too heavy for x to lift is not generally self-contradictory. However, it becomes self-contradictory when x is omnipotent. An omnipotent being that cannot lift a stone is logically impossible because it is self-contradictory and describes nothing. Hence, there is no possible power for an omnipotent being to create a stone they cannot lift. So if
