She thinks that scientists think too much. She says that when she sits down and types whatever the doctor is saying she feels like she’s in kindergarten again.

Every generation has flaws and ours maybe the lack of motivation due to technology but with this flaw it allows us to excel becoming more intelligent and opening our minds to realms not even thought of. We are not the dumbest generation and one day if not today we’d be looked at as one of the generations that lived through the era of great technology and instead of succumbing to it, excelled.

The book Ender’s Shadow is written about him. He is just as smart as Ender and also just as small, which makes a lot of people to compare Bean to Ender. That infuriates Bean so he strives to be better than Ender. In his own book it describes how he has much more control over Ender’s destiny then it was originally elaborated in the first book. At the beginning of Ender’s Game Ender has a monitor strapped to his neck to monitor everything he sees and does.
In his article however he doesn’t really use any other sources besides various secondary sources besides himself as a primary source. I think that him being one of the only primary sources does hurt the article’s credibility a little bit because firsthand information is always going to be better than when you get it from a secondary source. Most of his secondary sources are various books and articles such as in the section Casual Sex and Civilization he uses Achieving Our Country (1998) by Richard Rorty to help his point of saying how the 1960s was a real turn in how people viewed love and sex. Lawler really makes great use of his secondary sources to help him provide evidence about whatever section of the article he was focusing in on. Lawler actually never really disagrees with any of his sources and uses them to help make the article more credible and better in general.
Though being serious topic you wouldn’t think that satire would create a standing argument but Fridman proves us wrong by making his point and opinion pop right out of the passage. This helps support the writing by attracting more readers though his unrealistic writing for the subject. Fridman connects to his readers through pathos, as many can relate this passage to their unpopular but successful experience in high school or even middle school. This association between the readers and the writing generates more feedback and interest of his work. As he says, “it is a high time to face the persecutors who haunt the bright kid with thick glasses from kindergarten to the grave.” The bullying, the teasing, and the harassing for their abilities and their “disgusting taste” must be stopped, as stated in his writing.
Aldous Huxley was either a psychic or God because whatever he wrote in the novel, is actually happening in today’s society. Even if he was imagining these things, he had a commendable imagination. Today, imagination and creativity are diminishing because people are too busy in catching up with television shows, shopping during sales etc. After reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and learning about the World State, I have started to notice some of the themes in my own surroundings. West Hill Collegiate shares a lot of similarities with the World State.
SUMARRY ESSAY 1-Hidden Intellectualism In Hidden Intellectualism of Gerald Graff's, he states that intellect does not only exist in the scholarly form of thinking but also equipped with street smarts, who can often times be more intellectual and have the ability to excel academically far more than one may believe. Graff gives a personal incident of his own experience, growing up loving sports and being less engaged in his schoolwork. He talks about how he wanted to fit in with the "hoods" and also tried to be smart, but did not show it too much for fear of being beaten. In the author’s case, his involvement in sports allowed him to see that discussing and reading about sports, he was able to develop his intellectual skills. In his article, the author gives a very intelligent insight on how street smarts and personal interest outside of the academic world can create and convert someone into a more intellectual person than merely focusing on the topics presented in school.
Not much was expected of him because of his small size. “Soaring and reaching so high—not just for the basket, but to aspired to be a hero.”(Irving) But Owen Meany possessed a power within him that would allow him to make John Wheelwright believe in God. “Owen Meany believed that ‘coincidence’ was a stupid, shallow refuge sought by stupid, shallow people who were unable to accept the fact that their lives were shaped by a terrifying and awesome design—more powerful and unstoppable than The Flying Yankee.”(Irving)In the end of the story, Owen Meany becomes an ultimate true life hero especially after facing several trials and tribulations put into place by not having a complete family. He endure life changing events that weren’t always for the better. When John and Owen went to the airport for John's return flight,a day Owen believed that he was destined to die, they see a group of nuns escorting a column of Vietnamese war orphans through the halls.
He really is fun, energetic, and has a great sense of humor. Yet because of his age difference his classmates wouldn’t give him the chance to show them what he was like. Joshua is the smartest person I know. If he wanted to he could take a government I.Q. test and get paid to do whatever he wants in life.
It is not only the Social Learning Theory, but it is also Social Identity Theory due to the fact that Fred is in the group that is “better” than the other group. This is a far-fetched scenario because most people would know what is right and wrong, but Fred came from a place where he never saw other races or religions and therefore only now knows what his new friends are telling him is the
