The conversation starts,

Chrissie,
Ha,
What do you guys think about the situation in the Middle East?

Dan,
I think they should fire bomb them all,
We are wasting time, money & resources; let’s get them all in one big boom, the problems will be solved & the area could rebuild a new, of course, over a period of time.
We can do this tomorrow!

Smirking & smiling,
You’re crazy,

Both “Barn Burning” and “A Rose for Emily” tell about the life of southern people and their struggles with society, but Faulkner used the dramatic settings of these two stories to create a mood unlike any other and make the audience feel like they too were a part of these southern towns. These two stories have many similarities in there setting, but they also have many differences to that make them unique and interesting.…

    One issue that I can relate to and understand is the overdevelopment. Many real estate developers are destroying the land around and possibly affecting the water too. Salt marshes and mangrove swamps are examples of coastal habitats being damaged. I see these builders over building and have not care for the negative impact it will have on our water resources. We as humans and as creatures of mother earth have an obligation to take care of what limited resources we have. It is apparent today that the more we build and over populate, we will destroy the natural resources and create long term problems. Just imagining the materials and debris being set forth around the real estate is being developed is utterly disturbing. These real estate developments…

    Authors using detailed descriptions to create a vivid image in a reader’s mind, are able to produce a suspenseful mood to keep the reader engaged. In The Most Dangerous Game, Richard Connell’s use of imagery paints a picture in the readers’ minds. Suspenseful moods that are created by these pictures, are what keeps the readers wanting to know what happens next in the story, keeping them involved and continuing on with their reading. During the exposition, climax and falling action, suspense is created when Connell describes the situations that Rainsford falls into with great detail.

    Do the founders of our nation know how confused they must have seemed to the outside world? Historically we are taught that one of the major reasons for the development of the colonies in North America was the promise of freedom to practice religion in your own way. As we will see in The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African, Written by Himself, “The 1805 Oration of Red Jacket,” by Red Jacket, and “A Short Narrative of My Life,” by Samson Occom, the European groups that colonized our nation were unwilling to afford that freedom, or any other freedom, to people of color. These three authors use their writing to appeal for a national reform of how we view people of color, because although the nation and its’ citizens profess to believe that God entitles all men to certain rights, they actually oppress the people of color by continually feeding into the general misconceptions about them.…

    Non-Verbal Communication

    A touch, making eye contact with someone, or the tone of voice you take when saying something. All of these things make up a big part of how you communicate and interact with other people. These ways of communicating all fall under the category of non-verbal communication. Non-verbal communication is, “those aspects of communication, such as gestures and facial expressions, that do not involve verbal communication but which may include nonverbal aspects of speech itself, (accent, tone of voice, speed of speaking, etc)” (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/nonverbal communication) as defined by Dictionary.com. Non-verbal communication makes up most of the ways that we communicate with someone. Non-verbal cues are vital in a conversation. “One study at UCLA indicated that up to 93 percent of communication effectiveness is determined by nonverbal cues. Another study indicated that the impact of a performance was determined 7 percent by the words used, 38 percent by voice quality, and 55 percent by the nonverbal communication.” (http://humanresources.about.com/od/interpersonalcommunicatio1/a/nonverbal_com.htm) A person’s tone of voice plays a big part when giving non-verbal cues. If something is said with a strong tone a voice, the audience may perceive enthusiasm or confidence. Also, that same exact thing could be said in a hesitant tone of voice and the audience could perceive that the speaker is intimidated or nervous. If you were to say something in a positive or soothing tone, then that could promote motivation or a sense of safety in the person you are speaking to.…
