  • Liz Addison Two Years Are Better Than Four Summary

    1531 Words  | 7 Pages

    The most noticeable way that Addison displays her appeal to emotions is by telling the audience stories of her own personal experiences with college. Addison does not draw out multiple, unnecessary stories in order to make her point, but rather briefly tells the audience about her college experience in such a way that the readers both see her as a trustworthy figure and read objectively. By describing her own personal experiences, the audience begins to relate closer to Addison as a person, which establishes a connection and contributes to her emotional appeal. When telling her own personal accounts, Addison focuses her story on her time at community college; explaining how the “College Experience” can be achieved as easily there as at a university. Addison also talks about the philosophical aspect of the college experience (Addison 686).

    1001 Words  | 5 Pages

    Sciences and technologies have improved many aspects of human lives. But as technologies are developing to be more and more advanced, science can be a deadly subject to us as well. Some writers have taken this idea and expanded on this theme of how science is deadly. In this essay I will discuss how this theme is explored in the texts: the novel Unwind written by Neal Shusterman, the film Gattaca directed by Andrew Niccol, following the short texts There Will Come Soft Rains and The Veldt written by Ray Bradbury. Science is supposed to help humans to understand more about the world and improve people’s lives.

    My personal Artifact is a baseball my son and I caught at the Giants game.

It can be thrown at speeds up to 100 MPH, or hit at at speeds higher than 100MPH, so when playing the game or watching you should be paying attention at all times.
