In the reading, What Has Happened Here by Elsa Brown, the author argues about how racial backgrounds are ignored in society. Furthermore, Brown also scrutinize how in feminist movements there are differences between black and white women. What I most found interesting from the text was the sexual harassment case Brown talked about and how Anita’s Hill race was not prevalent in case, for example, Brown stated “When Prof. Hill testified, a number of women rallied to support her…however (they) ignored the fact that she is a Black women, the thirteenth child of Oklahoma farmers, or treated these as merely descriptive or incidental matters” (302). In addition, the media also did not take into account her racial background because in the papers they
The way I think this quote relates to Long Long After School is that Wes,is almost like inspired by Miss Tretheway’s kindness towards him. The section that states, “the things we value” I believe that in the kind doing of Miss Tretheway’s actions, she really touched his life. Although in the text it never stated that he remained kind we can make an inference; since Wes visited her grave, this shows that she had some sort of impact in his life. “We set our goals and make our decisions” I suppose that throughout the years Wes established his goals and decisions on things that are good. So ”the things we value are the things which we set our goals and make our decisions” means, in relation to the text, is that Wes really valued Miss Tretheway

In her speech, Mary Fisher uses specific diction choice to bring awareness to the AIDS epidemic as well as words that are meant to heighten the fear much of the public had about AIDS at that time. Fisher addresses her primary audience to be the general public of America as well as those who have AIDS. Her purpose seems to be to make the audience more aware by scaring them into believing what she says. When she states, "It does not care where you are Democrat or Republican; it does not ask whether you are black or white, male or female, gay or straight, young or old," Mary shows that she is talking to everyone. She is successful in making her audience more aware of inflicting fear and saying that AIDS can affect anyone.
This obituary is for my great-great-grandmother, Martha Margerite Abraham, and was published in the 04 Sep 1957 issue of the New Ulm Journal. It has a great host of useful data about her, including her birth and death dates, birthplace, address at time of death, name of husband and place and date of marriage, residence after marriage, and place of burial. It also gives her husband’s date of death, the names and residences (cities) of her children at the time of her death, and the residences of her surviving siblings (two in New Ulm - these are named - and three in Germany). It even states that she died with “26 grandchildren, 57 great grandchildren, and two great great grandchildren,” which is a helpful figure when searching for cousins. There
Good Parent “When the woman realized that, she did what she had to do.” In “How Far She Went,” by Mary Hood, a grandmother sacrifices the life of her dog to save her ungovernable granddaughter. Being a good parent involves more than just physical care, it involves making the right choice for the child, even if it hurts them in the process. If a child is unwanted, who should take care of them?
Deborah Tannen, a professor of linguistics at Georgetown University, is a popular author in the United States of America. Mostly of her focus in her articles and books is on the expression of interpersonal relationships in contentious interaction.

Along with this book, she also wrote many other essays and articles including the popular article “Marked Women, Unmarked Men.”
Debate on What Transhumanism is Doing to The World Between Two “Scientists”? Credibility is a very important thing to have when writing an article or anything in general. If you don’t make your reader feel comfortable or make them believe what they are reading then they won’t stick with your opinion. That is what Jeremy Maitin-Shepard did, not only did he cite his references at the end, he quoted important scientists. Unlike online vlogs or Wikipedia which are places where anybody can go edit on their own terms without the story being published by a real publication house.
In this paper, I will argue that federal regulation should limit public and commercial access to over-the-counter antibiotics. My main reasons are that industrial farms often misuse antibiotics to raise livestock, patients often neglect the medical impacts of antibiotics due to limited knowledge on the medicine, and the superbug-related healthcare services take away resources from the budgets of other pressing health threats. In addition, I will also present the opposing viewpoints and refute their arguments by analyzing their claims with STAR analysis and checking for any possible logical fallacies that could possibly mislead the audiences. At the end of this paper, I will convince my audience that antibiotic regulation is the only hope to
The Amish are a community of people that nobody knows much about, but everybody wants to learn more about. In her essay “Becoming Literate: A Lesson From the Amish,” Andrea Fishman attempts to outline some of the principles of Amish culture and the way that the Amish raise their children. Her uncertain focus leads the reader to a whirlwind of thoughts while reading this essay and could confuse many readers that are paying close attention to her content. Fishman bases her essay around differences between the Amish child and the mainstream child and goes into detail about how each child is raised learning to read. She attempts to discredit the way that Amish children are taught to read, yet also praises the Amish and how they bring up children.
Koume Ono Ritsumeikan University Introduction to Anthropology The most surprising thing to me about reading Mary Douglas anthropology book, Purity and Danger: An Analysis of Concepts of Pollution and Taboo, is that I was actually fascinated about everything she argues in the book, many things I had questioned about but did not know the answer or simple facts that make you realized how our society structure works. Which is why in these book review paper I will emphasize more in some chapters rather than the book itself in one big paragraph. Mary Douglas, analyses the ideas of pollutions and taboo in different cultures and also different timing (primitive cultures, modern cultures) focusing in the Gestalt psychology. However, one of the things I liked the most about her writing style is that she avoided limited explanations, explained everything in details and giving examples making it easier for the

The poem Truth, by Gwendolyn Brooks, has a lot of symbolism in it. Different things throughout the poem both represent parts of the Civil Rights movement as well as things that we can relate to our lives today. She did really well with her literary elements used, especially personification. This makes her writing more relatable and realistic in our minds to grasp. Truth is a wonderful poem full of all sorts of different literary elements.
Imagine having so much pesticides in use that people and animals were actually dying from it. In the 1950’s the overuse of pesticides was a serious problem.

She wanted to address this problem to the government and the public and warn about the harmful effects pesticides have on the environment and the people. In “A Fable For Tomorrow”, Rachel Carson utilizes ethos, logos and pathos in order to bring awareness to the overuse of pesticides.
