If you agree, put your name. Remember 1. Tell no one 2. Outside this place we don't know each

    "Other People's Secrets" by Patricia Hampl is a reading about the publishing of her first collection of poems being published and the dark secret her mother kept hidden that is realeased in one of those poems. In the reading, the main point made by Patricia Hampl is whether or not it is someone else's right to tell someone else's secrets. In the reading, her mother does not want her to publish a certain poem because it releases the secret that her mother has epilepsy, something her mother has kept hidden for much time and does not want out. Hampl's main claim is that is that her mother's secret is an unreasonable reason not to publish the poem. Hampl's approach to the situation is pretty wry and sarcastic, almost as if she didn't care…

    After reading Stephanie Ericsson’s article titled “ The ways we lie” , I chose to write about delusion. In Ericsson’s article she said that delusion is closely related to other forms of lying such as dismissal , omission , and amnesia. It is a form of protecting yourself from facts that you don’t want to face. Instead of taking a good look at yourself and being totally honest with yourself , you allow logic to go out the window and make up excuses for your actions. You may truly believe what you are telling yourself . That makes delusion a cunning way to excuse your behavior and your actions. On a grander scale, some people may delude unpleasant or overwhelming facts ( such as “The Revelation” (or second coming) because to truly adknowledge…

    What defines honesty and integrity? Is there a connection between these two words, and what does that imply? Stephen L. Carter, a law professor and writer, questions the common definitions of these words and the their moral interpretations in his essay, “The Insufficiency of Honesty”. In the essay, he makes several about the key differences between what “honesty” and “integrity” actually mean, and I agree with Carter that too often integrity is mistaken for honesty. He mentions that, “…acting in accordance with what you think is right and risking no loss in the process is a rather thin and unadmirable form of honesty”, and I concur that selfishness of that caliber lacks integrity by definition.…

    The essays are both talking about communication. One is focus primarily on the way different genders communicate whereas the other focuses on the ways different cultures communicate. The essays we are going to examine are “Indecent Exposure” by Carla Power and “Sex, Lies and Conversation” by Deborah Tannen. These essays use research to back up their claims. My personal favorite of the two essays is Tannen’s. I found it to be more humorous and I seen these differences firsthand. Whereas Power’s although informative and important had a more melancholy tone. Both essays have their merit but I choose to support Tannen’s more. We’ll examine further on their similarities by showing their way they present their argument, the way it sounds…

    “Stand by you”: by Rachel Platten and it talks all about love. By saying, “Hands, put your empty hands in mine, and scars, show me all the scars you have” it shows that the person that loves you is proving to you that they are right there with you. They want you to open up to them, so that they can help you through the rough time that you are going through. The quote, “Even if we can’t find heaven, I’ll walk through hell with you” created an image that even when things get really rough and it feels like everything is completely falling apart and nothing is going right, there is still someone who will stand by you until you get to heaven and until everything turns out okay. This person will walk through hell just so that you do not have to go…

    In the documentary feature film “(Dis)Honesty-The Truth About Lies” five people share true stories of lies they have told and how their lies led to disastrous results. All of them rationalized their behavior and somehow came to believe their acts were justified (www.cnbc.com). I learned even more than I knew before that there are liars and cheaters all around us. From little white lies to extraordinary acts of criminal deceit (www.youtube.com). Dan Ariely, along with a team of researchers, conducted behavioral experiments that measure our tendency to lie sometimes even unknowingly. One key lesson learned from the video, for a business in an imperfectly competitive market with regards to branding and product differentiation, is to analyze your…

    Adrienne Rich once said “Lying is done with words, but also with silence”. This quote means that lying is done when someone is not only saying the truth, but knowing the truth and keeping it to themselves and not saying anything. It can also mean keeping a secret from someone and not knowing the consequence that can happen. I agree with this statement because now and days people either lie or keep the truth to themselves when needing the truth can make a difference. In the play Othello by William Shakespeare, characters like Iago and Emilia seem to know the truth about something, but decide not to speak about it with anyone.…

    Bearden’s Tomorrow I may be far away in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C is a collage piece that was inspired by the blues classic: “Good Chib Blues,” recorded by Edith North Johnson in 1929. The song is of the female ballad blues singer, who sings of lost love and heartbreak but eventually overcomes both of the terrible experiences. In Tomorrow I May Be Far Away, Bearden tried to express the history and culture of black in America based on his experience living as an African American. Romare Bearden often enjoyed listening to jazz and blues recordings which led him to begin improvising his artwork like the…
