Piper 11187-424 Analysis
In Piper Kerman’s piece “#11187-424”, she wants the reader’s attention grabbed by how she is able to tell everything first handedly. From the moment Piper reports to the federal prison for her 15-month sentence, she realizes that this is going to be an entire new journey. The freedom that us humans take for granted, for example, just the simple things like sitting down when we want to. Those are the actions that Piper is not able to do because she is not in the control of her own power anymore. The mood that is set is that Piper is not taking this bad. She realizes that the actions she made she now has to own up to and face the consequences. Throughout this piece I saw the different outlook people have on the rough situations they can be put

    On April 17, 2011 PlayStation Network (PSN) was breached by an unauthorized source. Sony believed that the source exposed personal and password information – and possibly credit cards – of an estimated 77 million people. This is considered one of tech’s history’s worst security failures (Cooney, 2011). Due to this breach, Sony has broken many laws. The most critical laws that Sony “allegedly” broke were California SB 1386, California Law 1798.81.5, and California Law 1798.29.…

    This sense of self first becomes an idea to the reader when Kathy loses her house and doesn’t tell anyone. She has had a horrible past with drug and alcohol addiction. Her family knew about it which gave them an idea of what kind of person Kathy is. At the same time Kathy makes them think there’s hope by overcoming her addictions from going to drug rehab and AA groups. Dubus shows key examples that support how Kathy hides the truth. At one point Kathy utters to Lester “’Anyway, we never should have been charged a tax at all, and I only own half of the house in the first place. My lawyer’s confident, though, so I’m trying not to harp on the negative.’” ‘Your husband hold the rest?’ ‘My brother. He doesn’t know about any of this yet. No one does’”(page 52). She is scared to tell her family about the house because she knows they’ll think she has no hope and is a disappointment. Another example that author draws our attention to is when Kathy wrote back to her mom,“Hi Ma, I’m sorry I haven’t called you. A bad earth tremor rolled through here last week and a tree hit the phone lines down the street. As soon as they’re fixed I’ll let you know. Also , that’s good news about your coming out here but Nick and I won’t be in town this weekend. He’s taking me on a business trip. Sorry to miss you”(page 147). Kathy purposely lies so that her…

    The main thrust of Article 2 is in the beginning of Section 1 - that the “executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America” (p725). Section 2 describes duties: commander in chief, the power to make treaties, appointments, and granting commissions (p725-6). Section 3 offers that he will inform Congress, the ability to convene/adjourn Congress, receive ambassadors, execute laws, and shall commission all the officers of the United States” (p726). Section 4 covers impeachment for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors (p726). Section I covers how the president is chosen, basic qualifications, removal / succession, compensation and the Oath of Affirmation. The framers didn’t want a king because they concerned with too much power being held by one person or entity. The Electoral College was developed by the framers because they needed solve the problem of how voting among the states would work - “…a system to allow the general electorate to have some influence on the selection of the chief executive without resorting to direct popular election” (p184). It satisfied the idea of separation of powers and the problem of representation in smaller states.…

    Watching the video of David and Camdon and my group member Ellington’s feedback was a great way for us to review all of the information we have learned in class, and learn how to apply those information in real situation. David and Camdon seem very advanced for their age in terms of MLU and pragmatic competence. Their linguistic competence is still developing and their pronunciation errors, made their speech difficult to understand at times. One thing I realized in the video is that as Ellington was talking to them and asking many questions their quality of speech decreased dramatically. They tried not to answer the question or used only one word to answer the questions because they got too tired. With Camdon, some his words and…

    Imagine if there was no electricity, no computers, no cars, no smart phones. What if there was no “I” or “you,” or anything that allowed people to stand out from one another? In the novel Anthem, Ayn Rand creates a dystopia that is true of all those things, but still proves that liberation and hope can be found among the suffering and despair. She is able to do this through the actions and thoughts of the main character, Equality 7-2521, when he finally realizes society is not what it seems to be and manages to escape; when he thinks that he is lost forever but is able to learn about the things that he has been missing out on, and when he leaves the audience with a glimmer of hope because he makes them aware of his plans to return and save society before it really is too late.…

    As humans we sometimes want to just give up on life because it is so difficult. All the obstacles that come in our way can end up making us very weak. But in the movie The Shawshank Redemption, one of the most important lessons we learn is that persistence and perseverance are keys to success. The main character of the movie, Andy Dufresne, was an innocent man who was life imprisoned because of a wrongful conviction of murdering his wife and her lover. But he does not give up easily for his freedom, he is very patient and at the end he succeeds. Persistence and perseverance covers the psychological perspective in the Social Sciences because whatever Andy did to succeed and get his freedom, is because of the way he thought and acted.…
