While these differences shape the essays’ handling of development and detail, the authors’ main ideas are contradictory. For Alexander and Shaler, social dislocation causes drug addiction, and while for Gardner drug trade creates gang-related homicide. Alexander and Shaler’s perspective on free-market society shapes their essay. The writing has a systematic argument and clear thesis. Causal analysis and the detail it provides produce strong historical relationship between dislocation and addiction, especially in England in the 1500s.
Marele Day deliberately places Claudia within the detective genre to subvert the masculine dominated stereotyped role of the male protagonist to an empowered female detective, reflected in her personality shown when she says “I was changing cars more often then I change underwear”. Furthermore, this is reflected through Claudia’s cynicism, shown through the juxtaposition in “Jack Daniels: Empty. And an ashtray: Full” as Jack Daniels is a very strong whiskey which mostly man drinks. Additionally through the use of slang ‘ There was a good looking blonde’ demonstrates the characters ambiguous nature as Day plays with the gender stereotype in the opening scene, making the reader assume the protagonist is a male. Thus molding and defining the distinctive voice of Claudia in the detective genre.
Von Bergmann said the challenge will be finding materials that can make skyrmions at room temperature. If they can do that the skyrmion based bits should be more stable than their ordinary cousins. The real trouble with "The Dead Fish Museum" is that these six stories of people who pop psychotropic pharmaceuticals like vitamins (plus one story in which the characters are almost normal, albeit terribly unhappy) are almost impossible to put down. D'Ambrosio's prose is fluid, even insinuating. Sentence leads on to sentence with a momentum that mimics the twisted logic of madness, the small steps and sudden turns that lead people from well lit streets and into dark alleys.
The intended goal is to find out ["find out" is a "phrasal verb," two words that together mean something different from their individual meanings--looking up each word in the dictionary would not produce the meaning, which could cause misinterpretation in an international business communication. Use other words, like "discover" or simply "found"] how changes in each category of the marketing mix affect sales. Kudler Fine Foods is consistently shopping the world for new fine food products to put on its shelves. For Kudler it is important to know which products will sell and which products aren’t [Contractions are inappropriate in academic writing--write it out] worth investing in. Marketing research will uncover for Kudler not only the products desired but [For parallel construction, "not only" must be followed by "but also" later in the sentence] the price consumers are willing to pay for each item.
The Disdain of Total Equality Total equality may seem fair and justifiable in the eyes of some people, but in many cases it turns out to be little more than a form of oppression, in which a group of people limit the abilities of others. Throughout the story Vonnegut speaks of this necessity for equality and the means that the government goes to achieve it by using devices called ‘handicaps’; one example of this is George’s earpiece, “A buzzer sounded in George’s head. His thoughts fled in panic, like bandits from a burglar alarm.” Vonnegut’s simile here creates a sort of loud diction, which expresses the sheer discomfort invoked by these restraints on the person wearing them. The governing body in this society views this as the solution to a problem, one that happens to be relatively impossible to solve, this is how Vonnegut incorporates satire into his story. He is poking fun at the age old concept of ‘equality,’ one that has inspired wars and movements alike; he accomplishes this by creating a system to make everyone equal, a system that happens to be just as stupid as the idea of ‘total equality.’ Under this system equality is achieved, but it is at the cost of individual freedom and a society full of stupid people, this in-turn creates the situational irony found in the story.
Laura Moore Professor Hovious English 1001 October 1st, 2014 How Much Does the Old Spice Odor Blocker Really Block? Old Spice commercials are always intense, humorous, outrageous, and much more. They try to persuade the audience to purchase products by getting their attention through their humor-filled commercials, and not much informative about the actual product. They carefully put together their advertisements so that they appeal to a certain audience and promotes the product in a unique way. The producers of Old Spice advertising utilize many rhetorical tools to make successful ads.

The article explains how it is possible for such a wide variety of addictive substances, which don’t seem to have any common ingredients, all to create similar production of reward in the brain of an addict. As the article points out the need for new ideas in therapy is abundantly obvious. Although specific genetic origins have yet to be uncovered, the article exposes the idea that treating drug abuse with the use of drugs is only a band aid for a bullet hole. Unless we can specifically target the necessary area in the addicted brain’s reward center, relapse will forever be just a
Modern tragedies deal with modern issues such as isolation and alienation. To what extent do the monologues ‘A Chip in the Sugar’ and ‘A Cream Cracker under the Settee’ show evidence of these issues? Alan Bennett the author of the ‘Talking Heads’ monologues uses tragedy within his monologues to heighten awareness of isolation and alienation .Bennett uses modern tragedy, a genre of tragedy which deals with modern day issues unlike Aristotle’s traditional tragedy. Two monologues which I believe Bennett bases around the issues of isolation and alienation are ‘A Chip in the sugar’ and ‘A cream cracker under the settee’ Within ‘A Chip in the Sugar’ Bennett uses setting to portray Graham as a tragically single man “His bedroom, a small room with one window’ this highlights the fact that Graham’s character is alone, caged in and a very much simplistic character, this is seen in the monologue in the routine lifestyle he and his mother share throughout. This is tragic as Graham is a grown man living at home with his mother which instantly heightens the tragedy as Graham obviously has no life of his own and throughout the monologue we learn how his life revolves around the care of his Mother “Give me your teeth, I’ll swill them” This gives the audience an insight into his daily routine however because Graham and his mother are clearly used to conversations like this as it is presented in an indifferent manner, it is not abnormal to hear such declarations between them and this is implied through the ironic way that it is presented as it follows a declaration of love ‘ “Graham, I think the world of you.’ I said, “I think the world of you”’ as this provokes humour, it can be argued that, no real sense of sympathy is taken from Graham’s narrative and therefore it is hard to consider him a tragic victim, unless we then take into account the idea that graham is married to his
