I’m going to discuss how the use of mental images‚ concepts and schemas can organise our thinking and help improve our memory. Psychologists have identified three ways of thinking; semantic thought is thinking based on words and meaning.

Past‚ Present and Future There is a saying: yesterday is a history‚ tomorrow is a mystery‚ but today is a gift‚ that is way it’s called the present. This sounds quite reasonable for us: what has gone becomes history and what lies in the future is always a mystery; present days are for us to treasure.

Warm Memories Denise Levertov’s "A Time Past" is a poem illustrating a warm and friendly memory of a distant past that she recalls as if it were yesterday. She uses powerful imagery and symbolism and sets a tone of comfort and joy. An overview of these three tools will show how she developed these throughout the poem. The first tool that one notices is Levertov’s use of imagery. Her mention of "that fall morning" (1.2) brings to mind sunshine‚ clear skies‚ and trees covered in bright oranges

Out beyond the heavy waves. I can see the three mystery islands that

Tʜᴇ Bᴏᴏᴋ’ꜱ Aʀɢᴜᴍᴇɴᴛ Malcolm Gladwell argues that people do not become successful from nothing. He simply suggests that there are “hidden advantages and extraordinary opportunities and cultural legacies that allow them to work hard and make sense of the world in ways others cannot” (19). In order to prove his claim he discusses a wide variety of seemingly different anecdotes that eventually connect to each other at one point or another. He simply tells a story as if he was narrating a bedtime story
