Critiquing an Essay with George Orwell’s six rules In Orwell’s essay he states that it is easy to slip into the bad writing that people have become accustomed to. It is difficult to go against the temptation of using the easy way out with meaningless words or hackneyed phrases that make things easier and require less thought. Orwell concludes that the progressive decline of the English language is reversible and he offers six rules which can help avoid most of the errors in poor writing. In Brenda Chow’s essay The Writer at Work, she breaks many of the six rules that Orwell wrote to avoid the continuation of our language decline. Chow breaks the following 3 rules: never use a long word when a short one will do, never use a simile, metaphor, or other figure of speech which you are seeing in print, and never use a foreign phrase, a scientific or jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Grammar checkers miss some problems; something’s give faulty advice for fixing problems, and can flag correct items as wrong. Use these tools as a second line of defense after your own. Pronouns replace and refer to nouns, making writing more
It was also because we had to take two measurements (one for diameter another for height)...which could possibly create more mistakes. Furthermore, you need to multiply diameter and height to get to the volume, so any one of those reading had a mistake, the error would compound and get worse. The same is not true with measuring with graduated cylinder, which is just a one shot reading. If that reading is off a bit, it won't impact the density as much 2- Did you find that density was intensive or extensive? Explain A- It was intensive.
When the government prevents prices from adjusting naturally to supply and demand, efficiency is improved in the economy. ANSWER: F TYPE: T KEY1: D SECTION: 2 OBJECTIVE: 7 RANDOM: Y [cxviii]. A market economy cannot possibly produce a socially desirable outcome because individuals are motivated by their own selfish interests. ANSWER: F TYPE: T KEY1: D SECTION: 2 OBJECTIVE: 7 RANDOM: Y [cxix]. While the invisible hand cannot guarantee efficiency, it is better at guaranteeing equity.
The provenance of this source has the benefit of hindsight, therefore allowing a broader picture to be seen, however, the fact that Hudson only interviewed old farmers limits its reliability due to the one sided point of view. Sources A, B and E are more likely to take this stance in regards to the Poor Law due to the fact they are sourced from individuals and groups who would have been looking for a reason to abolish the Poor Law which was actualised in the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834. The Derbyshire overseer would have unlikely to be in support of having to collect poor rates and then giving them out, the Poor Law Report was instrumental in achieving the Amendment Act and an Assistant Poor Law Commissioner who was required to pay rates and in contact with Chadwick would also want the Poor Law to be
209) This would change the “they” in my previous sentence to an “it is”. I also committed the error of writing a sentence fragment in my paper which reads, “But rather says something about the roles of gender in our society.” To fix this I referred to Rules for Writers where it reads, “Often the easiest solution is to turn the fragment into a sentence.”(pg. 186) I can do this by inserting the subject, which would be the Havaianas advertisement, into the sentence. This particular revision has been pretty simple, since the errors that existed in my paper were relatively minor ones, and no real overhauling had to be done to fix them. However I would say that this revision has helped me establish a better grasp on pronoun agreement, and when to use a
It’s like a toxic candy with poison inside but sweet sugar covering outside. Congress may not be able to predict the consequences, or it could have already recognized the negative outcomes but still chose to continue because the results sound good to people. Raising the minimum wage won’t be efficient unless it’s adjusted sufficiently and accordingly to the movement of market wages and inflation (even by doing so, there will be still a number of job losing but that’s unavoidable). Otherwise, nothing but the opportunity of teenagers –the future of the world- will be damaged. Works Cited Frisby, John.
Interestingly enough, ethical values the AMA sets forth is dealing more with stake holders rather than clients or customers the marketer serves. Based on these core values, specifically honesty, responsibility, fairness and transparency, General Mills, does not measure up, especially where consumers are concerned. General Mills is has been known to blur the line on honesty and market the products as being healthier for the consumer that what they really are. (Cite Source) They to not play fair and are not responsible as seen in their ongoing advertising campaign that targets children. Simply put, General Mills has an unfair advantage in their campaign because kids are to young and mentally underdeveloped to understand the impact of their desires; whereas, the Cereal Giant knows this, preys and exploits this comprehension gap in children and their
Griffin 1 Griffin Sabrina Mrs. Joni Jameson AP Language Arts 1st period 18 September 2013 Class Wealthy class Americans tend to overlook the lower class. Barbara Ehrenreich in her book, Evaluation, addresses the observation of how the lower class are invisible to their economic superiors. The rich are seen by the poor quite easily, but it is very difficult for the rich to see who makes up the lower class. The poor tend to be able to disguise themselves so they blend in with the middle class. They tend to do this by talking like others, buy knock off brand versions of what the rich buy, and go to places where the rich go.
Oregon tried, but found that drug testing was not very effective, while New York and Maryland did cost benefit analyses only to find that drug testing was too expensive and inefficient. Alabama found that job training programs were more effective than drug testing (when it came to moving people off welfare). Louisiana actually passed a drug testing law in 1997, but abandoned the idea when a task force decided that different monitoring system would be more successful and much less expensive ( paper and pencil tests).
