message sent. For example: ‘What happened? : o’, shows that the writer is surprised or shocked. Whereas, the same message with a different emoticon: ‘What happened? ;-)’ completely changes the context of the phrase. In this case, the writer asks the question playfully, perhaps with a slight insinuation. Many people use emoticons to give their messages more warmth and a personal touch, as texting is usually regarded as a cold, distant way of communicating. They also help clarify the meaning behind a
tell them that God was there in their time of need? Could you then go home to your small child and still have strength left? In Mark Jarman’s poem “Questions for Ecclesiastes”, his father had to do just that. Jarman uses a narrative style of poetry to question God’s will and how words fall short in times of tradgy. Jarman uses a lot of questions in the poem to question God’s will in the death of the young girl who took her life in the poem. In the second stanza, he points out that although the girl
Premise #2 – Jesus in this Text is Answering Two Specific Questions. Look back with me at Mark 13 if you will. In verse 1 the disciples try to impress Jesus with the beauty and splendor of the temple that was before them. In verse 2 Jesus rains on their parade by not being all that impressed. In fact, look what He tells them. He says that this temple, which they were in awe over, would be completely and utterly destroyed. The disciples were speechless. Only after arriving at the Mount of Olives did
(Mullany & Stockwell 2010:175). Exclamative sentences can prominently be noted within the text during the Man’s and the Other man’s ‘argument.’ An effective example would be, “I came here for a good argument!” In that particular sentence the exclamation mark indicates the Man’s frustration and change in intonation. As with most of the exclamative sentences in the text, all intonation indicates raised voices and contradicting statements. As this text was originally performed by ‘Monty Python’ who were initially
Emily Dickinson wrote two poems titled “Safe in their Alabaster Chambers --,” one published in 1859 and the second published in 1861. These poems share close to identical first stanzas and dramatically differing second stanzas, causing the poems to stand on their own as individual, different poems. However, themes of life, death, and resurrection, remain the same. The speaker of each poem performs the theme of the poem through the tone, which is revealed in the specific language choices as well as

set of guidelines. What language should we use? How should traditional methods be implemented into new methods of communication such as texting? Do we penalize those who refuse to use these conservative forms of language? It is no doubt that these questions are explored in Dan Bilefsky's article titled "Period. Full Stop. Point. Whatever It's Called, It's Going Out of Style." Bilefsky argues that traditional functions of language, such as the period, are dying with new tools that promote the use of
An editor who is given the task to edit any play written by William Shakespeare has a sizeable task to fulfill. The main objective in editing is to both make the play more understandable with altered language and also to give one's own perspective on how the editor wants to project the play on stage. I chose page 142 of Act 5, Scene 2 in Freeman's Othello because this page has become the springboard of the climactic turning point in the play. My personal decisions to alter certain lines and words
to math. Unlike other subjects such as biology or history, math does not require you to primarily memorize the content before a test. Instead, math requires practice and repetition. In order to succeed on your math test, it is necessary to redo questions you feel are complex in order to enhance your math skills. Even if you may be required to memorize a formula, if you understand why the formula works, memorizing it should not be an issue. Essentially, the more you practice you...
One day only a month after I came to the U.S., I happened to have dinner with an American student, Bob, in a dining hall. He was living in the next room in the school dormitory. He asked me several questions about my background, including my family, religion, and my nationality; I answered all the questions as sincerely as I could. Several days later, I found that some dorm residents thought that I came from North Korea. I was a little embarrassed. Even though North Koreans and South Koreans share common
unfamiliar situations/data. Modules 5 and 8 will have questions that test your understanding of modules 1,2,3 and 4. This is called the synoptic assessment. The synoptic element of modules 5 and 8 is worth more marks that the actual module content. This means you have to get to grips with the synoptic element in order to do well. This booklet is designed to help you to do so. How much of module 5 and 8 is synoptic? 50% of the marks on the module 5 paper are synoptic and 70 % of the module
The two answers that I found most surprising from the quiz, resulted from these two questions: Blacks are better runners, and Asians are better at sports like gymnastics, for example, due to their size and reflexes. The reason I found these questions most surprising was because I expected those two questions to be somewhat false, since they seemed stereotypical to an extent. For the first question, it was surprising because I thought it was more of a myth that African Americans were the better runners;
Interview Report On Thursday, August 27th, I interviewed with Mark Wasden for a front desk position at the Cole and Ustick Library in Boise, Idaho. This was the first interview that I have ever participated in, and even though I went in to my interview nervous, I came out confident. On Tuesday, September 1st, I went back to my Human Relations class, where I learned different techniques to improve my interview skills. I also received tips on how to handle different situations that could happen in
When walking around in a random city, people often judge strangers without necessarily getting to know them very well. In J.D Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, the main character Holden Caulfield marks many people as phonies without getting to completely know them. During his trip through New York City, Holden Caulfield meets many people, and most of the people he judges right away. Holden Caulfield shows that he is very judgmental even if he does not know the person, by noticing only kids as innocent

We also see that he places question marks at the end of sentences, which is another way he is showing us the uncertainty in the voice of society. Through his punctuation and word placement, we clearly see the voice of society in his poem, but in a way that tells us not to conform to it
You have now graduated college, and are in need of a job; there are many questions that must be asked once this situation has arisen. Some of these questions include; how will I set myself up to receive quality job offers, what do employers look for in an employee, and how do employers get information on potential employers? These are all great questions and have multiple answers, but they all have one in common; digital footprint. Employers today often look at potential employees digital footprint
that more than one juror wants to get it over with as quickly as possible. The first vote for a verdict is taken and while some hesitate to raise their hand, all but one votes guilty. Davis is the only one to raise his hand for not guilty. When men question, make a few snide comments and ask if he really believes he’s not guilty he simply states, “ I don’t know.” In the conversation that follows he admits it wasn’t easy to raise his hand for not guilty but it’s not easy to send the boy off to die without
poem into two halves and looking at how a person and then God would deal with sorrow. Blake asks several questions, as it is in first person at this point I feel that it is Blake asking the questions, which are, ‘Can I see another’s woe, And not be in sorrow too? Can I see another’s grief, And not seek for kind relief?’ This is an example of Blake’s use for the rhetorical question, which stirs thoughts of how we cope with sorrow, which is shown when he asks, if I can not feel sorrow
First, you should find out about the format of each specific test by asking the teacher various questions. Ask what type of questions will appear on the test, and if they will be true or false, multiple choice, fill in, essay or all of these. You need to ask these questions because for each of the above test formats you will have different test preparation strategies. Moreover, an important question is whether the lecture material is emphasized more th...
“Never been born” as a reminder to Kingston of how quickly ones’ life can be erased without remorse. “You wouldn’t like to be forgotten as if you had never been born” acts as both a statement and a rhetorical question for Kingston to reflect upon. Even though there is an absence of a question mark, it can be interpreted as a
