In the short story, “The Notorious Jumping Frog of Caleveras County” by Mark Twain, there are many examples of irony. Some types of irony include, verbal irony, situational irony, and dramatic irony. Verbal irony is when someone says something that means the opposite, situational irony is when a situation’s outcome is inconsistent with what we expect to happen. Dramatic irony is when the audience is aware of something the character doesn’t know. First of all, an example of situational irony is when Andrew Jackson, Jim Smiley’s dog, was fighting a dog with no back legs.
The United States Supreme Court case Stanford vs. Kentucky was a national debate that permitted the hypocrisy of the death penalty, which at the time stated that all offenders who were of the age sixteen years or older at the time of their crime would receive the punishment of execution. The case took place on the day of March 27, 1989, and was officially decided on June 26, 1989. The argument began when Kevin Stanford, who was seventeen years old at the time, shot and killed twenty year old Barbel Poore on January 7, 1981. Stanford’s was trialed as an adult and was convicted of murder, first-degree robbery, and first-degree sodomy, and as a result received 45 years in prison as a punishment. Stanford declared that “he has the constitutional
Ever since the snap of that first ball in 1906, the Florida Gators have been looked at as one of the best college football teams in the country, alongside of the many teams in the SIAA (Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association). Everyone knew that the Florida Gators were going to be a powerhouse football team when they started off with an almost perfect season in 1906 ending with a 6-1 record. From 1906-1909 Coach Jack Forsythe led the fighting Gators to have a 14-6-2, four season start. Considering this was the very beginning of the Gators, it turned out to be a very well-played first four seasons. On October 26th 1911, the Gators played their first official SIAA title game against South Carolina, which ended up in a tie 6-6.
The University of Richmond’s student population is 4,140 which Is extremely small when compared to the other universities. When comparing the student population and the student to teacher ratio, the University of Richmond has smaller more personal classes while VCU and VUU have rather normal sometimes large classes. This is a very important thing to take into consideration when looking for a university to attend because some students prefer one on one time with their professors, while other students don’t like to stand out and feel they would fit in better in a classroom setting that is rather
The Texas Longhorns The University of Texas is one of the greatest schools in the country. The University of Texas has had a great history dating back to when it first became a school.

These connections are what will help me to become successful in achieving my personal career goals. I will also be able to find solutions to environmental challenges and concerns that the world faces. To think that I can make an impact on the world through my studies is incredible. The professor to student ratio at Northland would also help me achieve my full potential by allowing me to grow strong connections with professors and fellow students. A smaller class size would also give me a strong learning opportunity and help grow my leadership skills.
Every student at George Mason was a freshman once too and everyone knows how scary change can be. Therefore, these factions that make up the school should not be as segregated as they are. There is a fine line between upholding the traditional social classes of high school and being just plain ridiculous. For example, around the beginning of the school year, some sophomores were sitting in the “junior alcove” and caused the juniors an immense amount of unneeded frustration. There was talk of hating the sophomores and even starting a twitter war.
The classroom sizes at community colleges are relatively small and this allows the student’s time to build a relationship with their professors and peers. By building a firm relationship with the professor and classmates, the student is able to form study groups
General education classes are a common aspect of universities all across the country. However, after examining the statistics, I believe that colleges are requiring too many classes outside of students’ majors. Not only are students forced to enroll in courses that they are not interested in, but they are also struggling to stay motivated in school. Since students are not retaining the information gained in these classes, colleges are also putting these individuals in an unnecessary amount of debt. While there is merit in taking these general courses, the amount of classes needed over four years is discouraging and expensive.
Edmundson begins his article by stating his background and overall experience in the field of modern college education. In order to establish credibility, he describes how he has taught at institutions, such as, The University of Virginia. Edmundson asserts, “I’ve been teaching now for thirty-five years and in that time, have had about 4,000 students pass my desk. I’m willing to testify: Not all students have hungry hearts. Some do, some don’t and having a hungry heart (or not) is what makes all the difference for a young person seeking an education” (Edmundson 521).
I began applying and preparing senior. I only visited Hendrix college before applying. I could not afford to travel to the other states to visit colleges and I did not have the time to visit other colleges. Also, I was planning to stay in state. I did not take any SAT or ACT prep classes because they were expensive.
During the summer of 2015, I drove to Lipscomb University’s campus with my mandatory khaki shorts and a positive attitude. I knew it was an honor that I was given the chance to attend Volunteer Girls State, but I had no idea to what extent. I grab my bags, walk to registration, and instantaneously get fixed inside a cloud of smiles, greetings, and positivity. It was almost overwhelming just how cheerful the atmosphere was, but it was tremendously refreshing. I told my mom goodbye and glanced over my busy itinerary with my roommate just before heading to the first of many Davis City meetings.
I have taken away many useful strategies and information from the College 101 class I took this summer. This course has given me enough information to help me feel confident that I will be successful in the rest of my highschool experience and my future college experience. This course has given me skills that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Learning to study properly, avoid procrastination, and take notes correctly has been something that has already helped me tremendously. It has helped me feel less stressed on a day-to-day basis as well as improving my school work quality.
