“Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds. I may be given credit for having blazed the trail, but when I look at the subsequent developments I feel the credit is due to others rather than to myself (Bruce, Robert).” Most people refer to Alexander Graham Bell as a great American inventor. They often forget that he was and mainly focused on being a teacher of the deaf. “His invention of the telephone was simply a byproduct of his devotion to helping the deaf communicate (Alexander Graham Bell. conservapedia).” His particular specialty, besides being an inventor, was to teach with those who were deaf to develop and be able to communicate with people that were not deaf. As Alexander grew old he continued to experiment with new things. He became fascinated and dabbled with the question of flight. He had experimented with kites, he made of many pyramid-like cells. The sight of a large structure flying in the wind made Alexander so impressed and gave him the idea that a kite could be used for the basis of heavier kites to carry people. Baffled by this idea Bell assembled a group of people and formed the Aerial Experiment Association (AEA) in 1907. They decided that the AEA would have each of its members design an aircraft shell to hold and engine and have it

    In the late 1940’s through the late 1950’s McCarthyism was a wide spread epidemic here in America. The government had a very intense suspicion that there were influences of communism on our soil. Many were accused and prosecuted for “un-American activities” throughout the states. The FBI had no grounds or evidence to stand on when accusing these people. The Salem witch trials in The Crucible were very similar to these situations. Witten by Arthur Miller The Crucible was Miller’s way of protesting and speaking out against these trials while trying not to draw any attention to him. He uses many rhetorical devices to help better his message as it if brought forth to the reader. Irony, repetition, imagery, and metaphors are examples of some of the devices Miller uses to capture the reader and keep the story on track with the protest of McCarthyism.…

    Sand between my toes and enjoying some sun while gathered around with a group of friends is what I call, a definition of a great time. The ad Tampax Pearl from Seventeen magazines sells the product through the use of rhetorical fallacies logos, ethos, and pathos. There are six fallacies, and throughout the magazine they are represented by the text, the women in the white bikini, and the beach: false cause, hasty generalization, non sequitur, and appeal to ignorance, false authority, and bandwagon. In the background are the sounds of waves clashing against one another, the sun beginning to lower, and the scent of a bonfire. The game of limbo used as an entertainment to influence laughter, and competition spread to one another.…

    Well-known Sci-fi writer, Ray Bradbury, in his novel, Fahrenheit 451, illustrates that relationships reflect who individuals are and who they want to be. Bradbury’s purpose is to promote the idea that a person should have the courage to listen to their own beliefs and thoughts of happiness rather than to blend in with society. He adopts a disoriented and poetic tone in order to appeal to similar feelings and experiences on a non-realistic scale in his young adult readers.…

    Do traffic signals make a difference when drivers are conducting their vehicles? In U.K. the roads have less signs and are smaller roads than in the United States. The United States has great amounts of traffic signals and symbols all over the road to make the driver more aware. In the U.K. accidents do occur but not that often has in the United States. In the Unites States every second there is huge amounts of accidents going on over the nation. John Staddon in his magazine article “Distracting Miss Daisy” tries to persuade that traffic control is making traffic more dangerous because we do not pay attention to the road, but to the signals.…

    Alexander Graham Bell was an extraordinary man, who gave the world one of the most reliable technology known as the telephone. Bell was born on March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland, but unfortunately passed away on August 2, 1922 from his condition of diabetes. Bell was a curious and eager kid since he was little, in fact when Bell was 12 years old he made homemade de-husking machine, which was used by his neighbors in exchange for a workshop in their mill where Bell continued his experiments. The main intention of Bell was to send a harmonic telegraph. Bell made this become a reality as he said the famous words “Mr. Watson, come here -- I want you” from another room to his assistant Thomas A. Watson. The reason that drove Bell to this creation was that his mother and wife were both deaf. Before Bell even had any ambitions to being an inventor he followed his father’s footsteps as teacher in deaf schools. In addition Bell had also invented many other inventions. The first of many was the hydrofoil, which was pretty much a jet boat. The next one of his inventions was the photophone, which could transmit the voice of a human hundreds of meters through a beam of light this was the world’s first electro-optical system. Then to top it all off he also started developing aeronautical kites that could take flight by humans. One of his final inventions was the first metal detector, which failed due to quick designing used to locate the slug shot in the assassination of President Garfield. Bell had accomplished many great things in his long life of 75 years and has given us a technology that even today we rely upon heavily.…

This soon led him to invent the microphone and later the "electrical speech machine", his name for the first telephone. When Bell as eleven, he invented a wheat cleaning machine. He said that if…
