Disclaimer: Please, if you a literal 'Dan Boko ', have some patience (not Dame Faka, to be specific) to read on before cursing me and/or demeaning my humanity to vanity. At least, hear me out then you can decide what to do with me.
They say 'give honour to whom it 's due ', right? Okay. Opening salutation: A Dan Boko, my learned fellow. An erudite chap. Intelligent, always. Smart, that is. He 's perfect. No words can do justice. Really, I envy him for having so much to his character; he 's simply awesome, perhaps from Mars. You know, when you say Dan Boko, one thing comes to mind: formal education. We define Dan Boko as someone who went, or goes, to a formal/contemporary/modern/Western school. In some cases, a secondary school student or graduate is a Dan Boko. In other, only he who went, or goes, to higher institutions can be called a Dan Boko. Well, that 's how we together defined it, but I had to take another route to [re]define Dan Boko based on experience. I apologize if you find this stereotypical. It 's never been my intention to stereotype anyone.
A Dan Boko (notice my usage of the indefinite article 'a ') pisses me off everyday to the extent that I now feel like "I have to vent my anger"— and, no, I am not angry. I don 't

They are nothing beyond their unhygienic, unkempt, disgusting and unintelligent beings. He doesn 't have to remember how they helped humanity when there was no (modern) science and/or technology. No, he doesn 't have to think about their efforts in finding cures to different diseases when no one was. Why should a Dan Boko, in his grand self, champion some useless herbalists because they were the key propellers of medicinal science which he so uses and cherishes? No, that 'd be unlike a Dan Boko who went/goes through rigorous academic journey eschewing elegance all around. A Dan Boko is always right, of
Travis Lazarczyk doesn’t consider himself a sportswriter but rather a writer about people with sports as a backdrop. His most exciting stories to write about comes from the accomplishment a group of people or individuals, specifically high school basketball teams. The most emotional story he has ever wrote about was Dick McGee. Dick was a friend and Lazarczyk’s feature on Dick felt he was writing an obituary rather than a feature. Travis came to answer questions for Thomas Colleges EH-111 Section G sports writing and composition class.
Mansa Musa set off on his hajj and traveled thousands of miles through deserts, and strange cities to get to Mecca. Although this was a very religious journey, was this pilgrimage really all for religious purposes? Religion may have been a large motivating factor for this trip, but Mansa Musa did not journey on his hajj just for religious purposes. There were many other motivating factors for why Mansa Musa took this journey. Some motives were to set up better trade for the future, and gain popularity for his kingdom Mali and himself.
In her essay, “Sizing Up the Effects”, Professor Sissela Bok states the harmful effects of aggressive media and accents her informational argument with scholarly accounts of emotion in order to grab both the hearts and heads of her audience. Bok references a study done on homicidal men and says “What is most startling about the most violent people is how incapable they are… of feeling love, guilt, or fear.” , shortly after she takes a quote from Macbeth “I am in blood. Stepp’d in so far that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o’er.” By including these hard hitting, poetic pieces she stimulates a new part of each audience member, a personal element is introduced making all of her given information apply on a deeper level.
In Marty Nemko’s essay, “We Send Too Many Students to College,” I thought he presented his argument about how a college degree does not necessarily mean that you will succeed in life in a subtle yet smart way by utilizing a personal connection with the subject of his essay. Or as Aristotle explained in The Art of Rhetoric, the appeal to authority (Ethos). Additionally, I thought his incorporation of the two stories about the individuals who obtained their degrees, but could find a job with their aforementioned degrees was a very honest way of descripting what I believe is happening in today’s educational institution.
Pointers to Insight I found this short synopsis of Soko Morinaga’s journey a very compelling piece of literature. His main theme being that everyone should live a fulfilling life full of happiness and contentedness is a theme that everyone can agree with. Another theme that can be seen is the idea of a student and sensei being able to trust and respect each other’s capabilities and hold them accountable accordingly.
According to the Fourth Amendment, people have the right to be secure in their private property, and may only be searched with probable cause. However, in a recent case, this right was violated by the government. An Oregon citizen, with the initials of DLK, was suspected of growing marijuana in his home. The federal government used a thermal imager to scan his home, and were later given a warrant to physically search his home. However, many remain divided over whether or not this scan was constitutional, as there was no warrant at the time of the scan.

The whole concept of Nick Sousanis 's comic "Unflattening" pertains to how one can see different things and read the social world. While the social world of mankind is shaped based on the choices our ancestors made, do social patterns and behaviors really have to be a certain way? Perhaps, there is a flatness not yet scene that allows for this blinded vision and machine like operation which does not question repetition. A main focal point being stressed. Essentially, a main point Sousanis wants us to note is this: (1) change our perception in things, (2) changed perception creates a change in action, thus (3) a change to the world.
One of the main aspects of the “American Dream” that people tend to want aside from money, is to be happy. However, there is no set definition on what happiness is or what it means to be happy. Throughout the documentary, Happy, Roko Belic (2011) addresses various countries that are perceived as the “least happy” or “happiest.” With the use of various family interviews, Belic emphasize the various meanings of “happy” as they pertain to the “least happy” or “happiest” countries.

Several individuals have been slaughtered by the hands of Asoka.
Howard Roark serves to support the impossible notion that one does not have to compromise morality for success or vice versa. He is the ideal man who embodies a strong commitment to his morals and his own independent thoughts. Roark never fails to stand by the integrity of his buildings nor his own integrity, as seen during the Cortlandt Trial. He never sacrifices his designs to gain work. He does not want to work if he has to give up his designs to conform to the demands of the people.
The novel Schooled by Gordon Korman is a fantastically fabulous story. The main character is named Capricorn Anderson or Cap for short.

Fortunately, like anyone in a new area,he adapts and changes even in his two month stay.
My considered response is on the poem, “Did I Miss Anything?” by Tom Wayman. This poem is about a teacher that is answering the question, “did I miss anything”. The teacher does answer the question; however they do it in a roundabout, overly sarcastic and exaggerated manner. The teacher shifts from saying they did nothing while the student was absent to saying that they did everything in the next stanza. In my considered response I will explain the poetic devices I found in the poem.
