Michael C. Corballis 'The Essay' From Hands To Mouth
Group 6 - The essay “From Hands to Mouth” Michael C. Corballis

The clincher is the pictures of hand gestures that arouse and bring the audience attention to the thesis.

I did not link hand gestures used as a child to the evolution of spoken language. We use hand gestures in texting in the form of emoji.

Group 6 did a good job. It seems the argument covered all the essential points of hand language. The team accomplished the intended goal to convey the importance of hand language

    Katy Carlin Professor Lipkin HISTO 1110 June 21, 2013 The Battle of Thermopylae According to the essay Herodotus: Xerxes Invades Greece, from The Histories, Herodotus was a very famous historian, who gave his account of the battle of Thermopylae. It is significant though to recognize that Herodotus was Greek and giving an account of what happened when the Persians defeated them. In the text Xerxes has many incidents that portray him as superstitious and tyrannical. Some examples of Xerxes’ tyranny is his plans to “march an army through Europe against Greece,” his want to not rest until he has taken and burnt Athens, wants to extend the Persian territory throughout all of Europe, his beheading of his master- builders, and his lack of mercy towards his slave and his five sons. Xerxes shows his superstitions when he sends for the Magians to tell him why the sun has disappeared, and the day has so quickly tuned to night. Turning to the actions in battle, those of the Spartans tell me that they are a strong willed people who do not give up easily, if at all, even when faced with a great challenge and are outnumbered. Besides this essay showing the Greeks strong will, this essay seems to promote their use of wit and skill in tricking the Persians into thinking there were less of them than there actually was. The account was written by a Greek, so the information in the story would cast them in a more positive light. Lastly, in our text, Western Civilization, there is a thurough evaluation of the significance of the Persian invasions on the Greek political and intellectual…

    “The life where nothing was ever unexpected. Or inconvenient. Or unusual. The life without colour, pain or past” (Lois Lowry). Pleasantville is a 1998 American fantasy comedy-drama film written, produced, and directed by Gary Ross. A brother and sister, David and Jennifer, are sucked into their television set and suddenly find themselves stuck in a 1950’s television show called “Pleasantville.” David and Jennifer suddenly find themselves in this strange city, as Bud and Mary Sue Parker, completely transformed and therefore black and white. “Pleasantville” is a film that can be classified as a dystopian, a satire, and a bildungsroman story.…

    Thursday evening I was privileged to attend the 40th Annual Festival of Native Arts. The festival is held once a year in early spring in the Great Hall at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The festival not only brings together all of the different groups from around Alaska, but sometimes even the vicinity of Russia, Canada, and Japan as well. The festival was started in 1973 by a group of current UAF students, staff and faculty members. The festival was a hit from start and has grown into a warm and welcoming event to kick off spring and the roots that tie down the heritage of the Alaskan people. Dance, art, music and culture are all demonstrated throughout the three day festival, and I was lucky enough to attend four of the live music and dance groups.…

    Student: Mariángeles Esquerdo I can also recall Hesse´s magnificent Steppenwolf, with the fictional character of Harry Haller, portrayed in a mad race towards unattainable satisfaction. We can read from Harry´s thoughts: “And, strange to say, this beautiful flower nevertheless constantly remained the present bestowed on me by Hermione. The latter constantly interposed herself between me and Maria, masking her fully. And at one juncture I suddenly thought of Erika, my poor girlfriend, the woman I loved who was somewhere far away, and cross with me. She was scarcely less good-looking than Maria, though not in such full bloom, not as liberated, less gifted in those ingenious little touches Maria brought…

    The Bible in The Scarlet Letter Hester Prynne, from The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, was alienated from her society for committing adultery with Reverend Dimmesdale. The bible says the man who commits adultery will suffer, and he will be in despair. Job 15:20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 says “All his days the wicked man suffers torment, ... Terrifying sounds fill his ear; ...He despairs of escaping the darkness;...Distress and anguish fill him with terror; they overwhelm him, ...because he shakes his fist at God...” Reverend Dimmesdale struggled with God throughout the whole novel, and God causes him suffering and pain.…
