In Jeffrey Klassen’s essay‚ “He Looked Into the Grim Reaper’s Eyes and Nervously Laughed‚” he describes Henri Bergson’s theory on comedy and applies it to the movie Office Space. Bergson’s take on humor presents three key ideas. The first of these is that comedy is purely intellectual and not emotional. When we laugh at something that happens to someone else or anything we see on screen‚ we are able to take emotion out of the equation just for a moment and only focus on what is funny about what we

According to the two poems‚ I do prefer the second one as it felt more emotional in content. In the “Peer of Gods He Seemeth to me”‚ Sapphos explicates upon her emotions in an intricate fashion. For instance‚ she describes her intense passion for a lover in lines such as “my tongue is broken”‚ “ impalpable fire runs tingling”‚ and “sweat runs down in rivers”. I find Sapphos’ poems to be far more complex than most modern love songs today. Nowadays‚ the majority of modern love songs are either commercialized

For example‚ in the first paragraph the father snuck in his underage son “into a nightclub during [their] last visit” (Powder 17).

That price may be based on what it cost to make the product‚ or on the market price of the product‚ or on some combination of these two. But as most managers

“Man is born free‚ but everywhere is in chains.”1 Or is he? In running‚ too‚ I have seen‚ you all have seen‚ the change in technique. Imagine‚ my gymnastics teacher…taught me to run with my fists close to my chest: a movement completely contradictory to all running movements; I had to see the professional runners of 1890 before I realized the necessity of running in a different fashion.
