The article, “Melting Glaciers blamed for subtle slowing of Earth’s Rotation,” by Will Dunham, talks about how the melting of glaciers appears to be slightly slowing down the Earth 's rotation. Also about how the melting of glaciers are due to the world 's temperatures. At the beginning of the article William Dunham states that the driving force behind the discernible change in the Earth 's rotation is measured by satellites and astronomical methods. Also that the global sea level rise is fuelled by an influx of meltwater into the oceans from glaciers. A geophysicist, Jerry Mitrovica, explained more on this problem when he said, “Because glaciers are at high latitudes, when they melt they redistribute water from these high latitudes towards

Life is an ocean, and people are little boats adrift amongst the waves. I’ve always set goals for efficiency, but most of the time life doesn’t go my way. The things that you do, your character and the things that happen out of your control can drive you away from these goals. Many people choose to “go with the flow” along the currents, but others may choose to sail on their own path. Eventually, everyone will beach on land and people become grounded.
The essay, On Laziness, by Christopher Morley, portrays his argument of why laziness is often the key to being successful. In his opening sentence, he starts by explaining how he intended to write an essay but was simply too lazy to do do. The purpose is already being expressed through his use of satire. This helps the audience apprehend how he’s portraying his meaning through his own writing style, which includes theoretical irony, satire, and use of persuasion. The use of actual laziness used to write this essay made the readers ponder and question what he was trying to say.
In the excerpt from Moments of Being, Virginia Woolf reflects on her childhood summers fishing with her father and the lessons she learns from it. Woolf uses different language devices to convey the lasting significance of a valuable lesson she learns from her father and her memory of “sporting” passion and happiness to draw on in her adult life. Throughout the passage, Woolf uses literary devices to describe her experiences with her father. She uses imagery to describe Thoby as he steers the boat, the sea and the fish in it, and the joy in the sport of fishing.
“Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim”. This is a quote by Elie Wiese which expresses that staying silent is not the right choice to make. An upstander is a person who is willing to risk their safety to help another person. They will do what it takes to stand up for what they believe is right.
I agree with what Thomas Jefferson said, its incredible of how many things can be done when you actually are trying. When your up and running you feel like your struggling, thinking you don't know what your doing, or how your doing it getting really frustrated, but at the end of the day you realize how much you have done in just one day, Isn't that what you feel sometimes? The reason why I agree with Thomas Jefferson is because well of course he is right we do accomplish a lot more when we are moving around, but also because I've lived it, I've experienced it my self I have seen it, I can stand and say that moving around a lot and doing things you can accomplish many more things that you think that you may not do in one day.

World history can easily be considered one of the most broad subjects in any degree of study in today’s vask solar system of knowledge. There is universal epiphanies to discover as “modern” technology continues to boom like the universe did 13.7 billion years ago (prequel) in its own trial of historic advancement and discovery. To even grasp the concept of world history could take inestimable time. However, David Christian managed to capture world history and its essence in his short analysis This Fleeting World: A Short History of Humanity.
Thomas Jefferson said we need to do more to accomplish more. By doing more things in life so that we can invent more things. We can make more things around us better. By involving ourselves we can make our kids grow up with way more things to involve their selves in if we just take the time and make it better for them. Like Thomas Jefferson invented a lot he was a smart man.
Minute by minute, day by day, people are running out of the time that they were given on this earth. Every step a person takes is a step closer to a time when he will be unable to walk, and yet he chooses to trudges instead of skip, rush instead of stroll. Millions of people walk blindly through life by following the same routine as the day before, taking for granted relationships that should be held dear, and wasting time as if it will go on forever. This lifestyle is a popular topic among philosophers and writers, and many have dedicated years of their life to convincing people of its negative effects. One of these writers was Thornton Wilder, author of Our Town.
What does the government do for society? Does society have to follow the rules the government place? Is letting the individuals believe in various religions looked down on by the govern officials? Does the government care for the well-beings of the society? Are the government‘s problems covered away from society?

Having goals can become a barrier that can prevent people from living in the present. In the movie, Ferris Buller’s Day off, Buller depicts that “life moves pretty fast. If you do not stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.” The quote is significant as it pertains to life, and Siddhartha. Throughout the novel, Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse, the protagonist finds that life is short, so enjoy it and relax.
To get on that subway on the hot mornings in summer. To devote your whole life to keeping stock, or making phone calls, or selling or buying. To suffer fifty weeks of the year for the sake of a two-week vacation, when all you really desire is to be outdoors, with your shirt off. And always to have to get ahead of the next fella. And still-- that’s how you build a future”(Miller,10).
