Although people decided to live the life famous, they should still receive some type of privacy like everyone else. All the paparazzi following famous people around can cause them to break, which is what the paparazzi wants.

Amanda O’Neal Critical Reasoning Thursday 4-6 Welsh-Stamos Deception and Ignorance Lies, deception, trickery, and ignorance run rampant through Stephen King’s collection of short stories, Different Seasons.

The American dream is dying, but not in the way you think. The opening scene of Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby (2013) is made to show that an insane man's view of the American dream is dying due to the rise of a more progressive society. When looking at how the camera is placed in the scene, it shows that Nick is clearly being diagnosed with a form of psychosis. But, when you look at the color tones of the scene it tries to make the doctor seem warmer, while Nick is colder towards his humanity.

To fully appreciate the layers of irony in “The Pardoner’s Tale,” you must consider all types of irony. There are three types of irony: verbal irony is when something is said that contradicts the truth, or is the opposite of how the person speaking truly feels, situational irony is when events have an affect on a situation to make the outcome the opposite of what was expected, and dramatic irony is when the significance of actions and doings of the characters in a story are obvious but the characters

For the topic of this paper, I picked the paradox named “Murder” as the most interesting from today’s reading. In this paradox, we are opened with a case that occurred in Thabo Meli, South Africa in 1954. During an attack, a gang hits the victim in the head with an instrument, trying to kill the victim. After the hit, they believe the victim to be dead and roll the victim off a cliff to give the image of an accident. What the gang was unaware of, was that the victim had survived the initial attack

Beep! Beep! A car horn just honked at you. You nonchalantly just strolled through a very busy crosswalk. All because your best friend sent you a hysterical meme on Instagram and you were dying to see it. Everyday a pedestrian is killed because they put their phone before their own lives.
