The video Worst ever pitch, Worst ever product on BBC’s Dragons Den I found to be confusing. From the beginning of the video the inventor did not make a clear presentation of the problem his invention was going to help alleviate. Prior to pitching his idea he did not take any steps to meet with or do the research needed to ensure his product would be accepted by the local area that would be purchasing his product. In fact he stated that the woman who runs the traffic signals did not like his idea

Hamlet and Ophelia “This was sometime a paradox, but now the time gives it proof. I did love you once… I loved you not” (3.1.114,119). Confusion clouds the audience’s judgement reading this quote from Hamlet. His paradox insinuates that he is insane and truly did not love her. Contrary to belief though, this quote was a way to set his “mousetrap” and force her to be in the background of his grand scheme. The audience must draw conclusions concerning their relationship because their love is not

Where are they? Long, long ago in a far, far land lived a man. A man who was sick of everyone and everyone was sick of him. He was called Paul. Paul was a tall, handsome, lavish man.

Recently, Mariah Carey had an outburst on Facebook when a sound engineer accidentally uploaded the wrong version of her song, “The Art of Letting Go.” Carrey took it upon herself to rant on Facebook about the mistake of the employee, why she didn’t catch it, and ultimately decided to leave the old version up in order to compare the two songs. In the rant she even admitted that, “"There's no doubt in my mind that this sounds like a self-absorbed diva on a 'woe-is-me' tangent,” (Eggenberger, 2013)

After reading I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai, I have learned that Malala is a dynamic character. At the beginning of the book, the character is (A normal girl) eventually, the character becomes (unstoppable), and (brave). These character traits were observed through Malala’s actions, dialogue, relationships, choices, and problems. So this is like me because when I am scared I will think about how Malala faced her fears and how simple my fear is.So Malala really helped me know that there is more

Do you think we memorize things differently now compared to the past? Well, it is a tough question to answer. In my opinion, in past we use to remember only special things or

Literature review revealed that the BBC is not funded by government funding. It is funded through license fees paid directly by viewers. This distinction is important. A transactional relationship between any service provider and the consumer ensures that the service provider is driven by the needs of the payer.
