For this week’s posting‚ I will be discussing a topic from the assignment I found interesting and the reason why. Marry Ann Warren gives an interesting definition of what it means to be human. She argues that there are distinctions to the definition of humanness. To her‚ being part the moral sense is to be human‚ whereas genetic humanity does not qualify someone for being a human. Warren argues that the human fetus is not a person because they do not fulfill the five qualifications of personhood

I really enjoyed the class discussion we had about Ann Hodgman’s short easy “No Wonder They Call Me a Bitch‚” which describes her experiences tasting various types of dog food. She graphically explains the textures and taste of the dog food‚ and leaves nothing to imagination. Hodgman uses extensive amounts of humour and this appropriate since she is dealing with quite a humorous topic. I think had she been more serious in her discussion‚ I would have been more repulsed and would not find the piece

The five readings this week demonstrates the concepts that I have chosen to work on for a successful essay. First‚ in "The Fourth State of Matter" by Jo Ann Beard‚ he uses appropriate language for each character in her story. In the passage‚ the main character is listening to her voicemails from her husband Chris. "I have to talk to you right now‚" he says grimly. "Where are you? I can never find you." "Try calling your own house‚" I say to the machine. In his second message he has composed himself

In Ann Bauer’s essay‚ “The new autism reality‚” she not only focuses on her son’s autism‚ but also the stigma that comes with it. At first‚ the thought of autism repulses her and she describes the term as “monstrous”. She says this because autism where she used to live was not very common and people were not familiar with it. Bauer also admits to having very little knowledge of autism at this point. She gives credit to the movie‚ “Rain Man”‚ as her only understanding of it. Throughout the article

We are gathered here today to celebrate Alaska Ann Eaton’s beautiful and extraordinary life. She had a tragic death. Going scuba driving for your 3rd year wedding anniversary and getting attacked by a shark…well that’s extremely tragic. She was an animal person and maybe that’s why she had dolphins surrounding her trying to help rescue her and stop the shark. But that’s the thing about pain‚ it demands to be felt. She always mentioned this one quote‚ “The only to way escape the labyrinth of suffering

A third lyric that shows this is when Ann Wilson sings‚ “I only want to share it with you.” This means that Ann is trying to prove her loyalty to her significant other. When she uses the verbal technique of pronoun‚ “I” means that it’s very personal‚ this is because the artist is trying to prove her love towards her husband‚ for she still believes that they will get back together. To Ann being loyal is standing by your partner emotionally and physically when needed but most importantly following
