“Oh crap!”
Poppy was going to be late to work again. Her alarm stopped working since she couldn’t afford to buy any more batteries, let alone pay for her rent. She scrambled out of bed and lunged for the bathroom to fix any part of her appearance that could be fixed in less than ten seconds. “Where’s my uniform? Where is IT!”, she screamed, rampaging around her apartment, dirty clothes flying into the air like volleyballs over an imaginary net. She glanced quickly in the bathroom mirror and stopped dead in her tracks. She froze, slowly looked down at her chest, and saw her dirty, grease and ketchup-stained uniform cloaking her body in a crinkled mess. ‘Ew, I slept in THAT, in my bed?’, she thought. However, there was no time to waste. She quickly threw her hair into a blonde, messy ponytail

I was the top of my class, valedictorian, in fact, but this economy sure didn’t want me to go there. I guess that’s all you can do, is dream”, Poppy sighed.
“Well, Miss, it’s incredibly honored to find a hero amidst these New Yorkers, especially an intelligent one. I’m Dr. Totenmetz, President of Columbia”.
“OH MY GOD”, Poppy squealed.
“Ha ha ha, well, because of your heroic deed and what seems to be a very intelligent mind of yours, I would love to chat some more with you on your acceptance to Columbia, and perhaps we can help you with financial situation as well. Now, I wish you’d come with us to my house in Queens after this whole mess is put in order, and we’ll talk with Tots about it. Deal?”, he declared.
“YES! I mean, yes, thank you sir, this means everything to me. Tots means everything to me”.
“And she to me”. Poppy walked with Dr. Totenmetz out of the station and over to the ambulance where Tots was being lifted inside. Dr. Totenmetz jumped in and held his hand out to Poppy who eagerly grabbed on. Altogether, they rode through the streets of New York City in their less royal of a carriage, back into what Poppy called
Guns do belong in schools and prospective parents should be required to obtain a license before having kids. These are the dominant themes present in Jamie O'Meara's "Gun, Sex, and Education" and Janice Turner's "Should We Need a License to Be a Parent?" respectively. O'Meara argues that just like sex education arms the youth with knowledge, protecting them from irresponsible promiscuous behavior, gun education would serve the same purpose with respect to violence and guns. Similarly, Turner calls for new legislation but in an entirely different arena. She believes that in order to become parents, adults or non-adults for that matter, should meet a certain required standard and obtain a license in order to enter the most important profession of all: parenting. In order to develop these arguments, both writers utilize the general rhetorical strategies of comparison and argument. However, there is one key difference between the approaches taken to the development of the arguments. O'Meara's article has successfully employs ethical (ethos), emotional (pathos) and logical (logos) appeal whereas Turner's article takes a predominantly rational appeal (logos). Though both articles do an excellent job of conveying their points, all things considered, O'Meara's attempt at presenting a well balanced approach appealing to logic, emotion and ethics is more successful than Turner's attempt at presenting a solely logical argument.
Strength of Argument: Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. Bell Hooks’s essay, "Keeping Close to Home", uses three important components of argument (ethos, pathos, and logos) to support her claim. Hooks develops her essay by establishing credibility with her audience, appealing to the reader’s logic, and stirring their emotions. She questions the role a university should play in the life of a nation, claiming that higher education should not tear a student away from his roots, but help him to build an education upon his background. Bell Hooks gains the trust and credibility of readers through knowledge of the topic at hand, establishing common ground with the audience, and demonstrating fairness.
“Thank you Sir.” She told him, she then shook hands with Assistant Director Williams. and then stepped back next to Aurthur.
Archetypes bring order to everyday life- without them there would be chaos. Human use them to predict what may happen, and to empathize with people all around the world. Homer’s the Odyssey has several of these archetypes. The Odyssey is an epic poem, said to have been written down in the time of Ancient Greece. Archetypes are characters, actions, or situations that are generally a prototype of human life. Today, readers can gain insight through the archetypes in the Odyssey. Three main archetypes are: the hero, the monster or villain, and the crossroads.

Anjannete Cubis, head of housekeeping, checked the room and noticed blood on the bed sheets. She immediately notified her supervisor and asked what she needed to do. Anjannete was informed to gather the bedding and put them into a trash bag.

When we look at society from a social functionalist perspective we gain insight into how all of its parts work together to preserve a state of balance for all. Functionalism is utilized in sociology as a method of creating a framework to characterize social order, how all parts are connected and how they add value to the constancy of the society. This viewpoint stresses how each part is linked and how they affect one another. It emphasizes that the practice and beliefs of a religious group cannot be examined without reviewing in the context of the society as a whole which encompasses it’s politics, education system and economy. This is a more holistic view that helps us to understand the full function of religion within a society. In contrast

Archetypes are present in a manifold of literary works and each have a specific way of
She oozes sexuality. Her every movement a tantalizing call to bed. She struts up and down her block wrapped in a peach embroidered halter-top and mini-skirt, black thigh high fishnet stockings, and a cigarette dangles from her lips revealing a voice that is a cement mixers snarl. A man, glances around nervously and, almost as if propelled by the bulge in his pants, adjusts his crotch as he, approaches her. Kaufman watches as the tawdry discussion comes to resolution. And he watches as she takes him into an alley. And he watches as she drops to her knees. He feels the gravel get caught between his knees and stockings. And he feels the smooth hard dick of a strange man sliding in and out of his mouth.
My name is Robert Martin, and I only have one thing to say: it wasn’t me. Sure, I usually had to fire a couple of shots at the people in the banks to get them to keep quiet, however it was Reynold who was the real beast, both during our heists and after them. When the cops showed up that one day, Reynold figured that he was better off a fugitive. I had creased out the part of my memory that told me he was a cold-blooded barbarian who had killed before and would gleefully kill once more. As I stood at the door to the bank, acting as a guard, I felt a sudden rush against my side. The next thing I knew, I was on the ground, and a cop was on top of me, holding
It was Halloween day the scariest night of the year, when the goblins and witches come out to scare people. Everyone at school was dressed up as their favorite character from movies, shows, books, or carrots. During lunch Daisy the bunny that attended Hopping Elementary school, went to the vending machine. Her best friends Lily and Rose were there waiting for her all dressed up as carrots. Every day they waited there for her because the Principle of Hopping Elementary school was a mean and grumpy rabbit that had a very strict policy that couldn’t allow students to talk at all during lunch or else they wouldn’t get to finish up their food. That left the bunnies no other choice but to hide in the hallway between the art room and the gym, in front of the vending machine.

It was one of the most exciting and nerve racking days of our lives. Although we were finally leaving high school, the feeling of being unsure didn’t go away. The whole day was full of practicing for the big moment when the entire class graduated on to a new beginning. All the girls wore shiny bright red robes and the guys were dressed in a shiny navy blue. Standing there, I had no idea what to expect. Some things I were aware of, my friends were leaving and we wouldn’t be the same friends anymore. My role was that of being so aware of the future that I was too shocked to soak in the present; being a pessimist was my main goal and everything I was sure of became true.
