    Dances with wolves

    The plot of this movie involves unrealistic aspects that are convoluted yet resolved. The dialogue was simplistic and believable due to the complexity of communication between the white people and Indians. The unrealistic aspects begin the movie off when John Dunbar rides horse- back into confederate lines alone, and comes out without harm done. This act was viewed as an act of suicide yet John undermines this unbelievably.…

    Does Texting Affect Writing? By Michaela Cullington: Article Analysis

    In the article “Does Texting Affect Writing?” by Michaela Cullington, the author explains both sides of the ‘controversy’ regarding the kids within our current generation “are being raised without communication skills” (362). The reason to blame by many is the use of abbreviations in text messaging used in formal writing (362). To clarify, the abbreviations used in text messaging and other forms of communication are referred to as “Textspeak” (361). On the other side of the spectrum, supporters of Textspeak claim that it helps motivate kids to write formally, and the impact of Textspeak in formal writing is minor (364-365). After addressing both sides of the debate, Cullington decided to conduct her own research to conclude which side of…

    Harrison Bergeron Satire

    Harrison Bergeron reminds me of the super human kind of hero by saying things like, “Harrison tore the straps of his handicap harness like wet tissue paper.” By using words like “wet tissue paper,” and, “snapped like celery.” the author emphasizes just how strong Harrison is and how the handicaps couldn’t restrain him. The result of Harrison’s efforts is ironic in the reversal of events because instead of in traditional stories where the hero lives happily ever after, Harrison is shot dead at the end of this story. Also his actions have no impact on the civilians, because they would immediately be handicapped and forget. Everything just continues on as if Harrison Bergeron never existed.…

    Written Words

    In the article, “In Defense of the Written Word,” the authors talk about the significance of written words and the negative effects that TV and pictures have on the world. In today’s society, the amount of time people spend on reading has declined which is clearly seen through “the 1.9% decline of newspaper circulation of 815 of the nation’s largest in 2005." Although the creation of the television itself was a huge phenomenon to the world, it created a huge dent on the critical thinking aspect of society. In news reporting through broadcasting, it allowed people to spread word much more quickly but not with the complete story and idea. In a small amount of time, reporters are required to inform the public about big headlines stories with a very little period. But through the medium of words, one is better educated than through the medium of television and or pictures.…
