Christie is a great detective author because of how many styles she incorporates in her stories and how many games she likes to “play” at one time. For instance, In the Mysterious Affair, Christie uses the element of hidden identity or impersonation. In this method, the murder is allowed to move freely within a familiar environment without arousing any suspicion. For example, the main character devised his murder plan in the most secretive manner possible and then waited until he had no suspicion on him, but made sure there was much confusion between the rest of the circle until he was able to act and make his move. After reading the puzzle game, I do find it helpful to understand detective fiction, especially with this piece by Christie. I was able to pick up on the scheme of things and pick out the murderer much quicker since I knew certain techniques and rules to the game.…
Rich Bloss contacted us be he does not think we should automatically check the “make this a monthly donation” box in our donation emails. I apologized and let him know I would share his feedback with our donation staff. Apparently, we only automatically mark this box for people who already give a monthly donation.…
While discussing Trump’s business acumen Epstein felt it was necessary to establish that business success doesn’t correlate to political success, however, the two are not mutually exclusive and Trump could be multi-talented. The article also felt it was necessary to mention that Epstein had never read Trump’s book, it also then goes on to criticize the book by stating he has no interest in reading “The Art of the Deal.” This unnecessary and critical comment further enforces the idea that Epstein believes Trump is not fit to be president. In the concluding paragraph Epstein cements the idea that financial success does not transfer to political success. He then goes on to criticize Trump calling him arrogant and claiming his business prowess won’t transfer to his political career. Some of these statements may be based off of truth, but, to be a subjective article one can not put personal opinion in their…
During the battle, both Union and Confederate suffered major casualties. Many Confederate soldiers had died not just in the battle itself. The Unions had suffered the most pain in this way. In just one hour, about 7 thousand men had died and overall they lost 50 thousand men out of 117,000. The Confederates losses were much less severe; they only lost about 1,500 to 60,000…
In“Trump’s Bluster Is Heard Around the World,” an article published on Yahoo! Politics by Gregory Katz, sarcastic tone and vivid descriptions portray Donald Trump as a selfish human being to manipulate readers he will not be a good president. Katz’s sarcastic and criticizing tone adds to the negative view of Trump presented in this article;“His is clearly a recognized name worldwide, which is not to say it's a beloved one.” Katz then proves this point by quoting individuals from around the world. In the first description of Trump, a woman who lives next to a Trump resort calls Trump a spoiled “strange fish.” She then describes his toddler-like tantrums, causing an image of diaper wearing Trump whining and flopping for what he wants to pop into our heads. Katz’s next proof is a video of Mexican comedians dressed as Donald Trump performing an act written from his statements. The comedians are all wearing fake guts, Neanderthal clothing, and blonde wigs. Katz writes, “It's striking how many people know of him at all,” as if Trump is some new American celebrity who is just now getting attention for his statements. It is almost impossible to not recognize the Trump name. His name is on everything he owns, and he owns buildings, programs, and boats worldwide. Trump had been known by the world way before he decided to run for president. To end the article and finish his characterization of Trump, Katz writes,“That would be one side of Trump that few if any have seen — one who says ‘sorry’.” Like Buzzfeed and Alphacat, Katz includes mockery of Trump so viewers will chuckle at their possible leader. This humor alongside Katz’s sarcastic and condescending tone alarm readers that Trump is well known, not well…

Hillary Clinton moved aggressively on Sunday to press her advantage in the presidential race, urging black voters in North Carolina to vote early and punish Republican officeholders for supporting Donald J. Trump, even as Mr. Trump’s party increasingly concedes he is unlikely to recover in the polls.…
This presidential election may be one of the most important because of the two people who are running for office, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Those aren’t the only two in office, but these are the two that are mentioned the most because they are making the biggest stand in American history. This election will not be a Obama and Mitt Romney, will affect the lives of many people. It will have an impact on young kids’ lives, people who are poor, people are rich and even those who are in the middle. Seeing how much criminal and nasty actions Hillary has done, Donald seems to be the only resort to choose in this election.…
“Trump ran as a divider, not a uniter. He won that way -- offering safe harbor for people who had long resented politicians who told them they had to accept those who didn't look like them, sound like them or think like them” (Cillizza). Again, Trump used the propaganda technique, plain-folks appeal, to appear the same as the voters, in order to win the Presidential…
Whom would you like better, Donald Trump becoming president or President Barrack Obama? The categories that were used to describe them are the 2nd amendment, immigration, taxes. Donald Trump's perspective is majorly different from President Obama's perspective on how to run and take control of America. Especially with the war and conflict between the countries and ISIS.…
Donald Trump, a business leader, who in the next month will become the leader of all residents in the United States. A man who claims that America will have a positive change and prosper. When viewing Mr. Trump’s voting history, it is not constant throughout the years. According to Bump, the New York-based political consulting firm states that Mr. Trump has voted 18 out of 28 general elections and has been a republican, democrat, a member of the Independence Party, and for a period of time, he did not identified as any party. Trump has an inconsistent pattern in his voting history, but sides more with the Republican Party (2015).…
There are many things that are required before a person can run for President of the United States. A president can only run for two terms of four years each. Written in the Constitution are some requirements for a presidential candidate. One must be at least thirty-five years old, be an American-born citizen, and have resided in America for at least fourteen years in order to run for President of the United States (qtd. in “Constitution” 9). I would choose to vote for Donald Trump because of his stand on abortion and immigration.…

Online, physically, or verbally you can be a victim of being bullied. You don’t have to keep things as they are. The question is how to handle the situation (Do you attack the bully and become the bully yourself? Or do you ignore the bully and pretend all is well?) What you do is speak up and ask for help. I would know, because not only was I a victim, I was also a person who stood by and simply watched it happen.…
