I thought this article was very well written. I agree with the author I think that what is done to these poor creatures is very cruel and messed up. After reading this I will not look at lobster the same. The Objective correlative of this piece really helps to drive home how awful these creatures have it. Just so we can eat some lobster.              The author uses objective correlative very well in this. The fact that Maine kills so many lobsters at one time for an event is pretty ridiculous. Boiling these animals alive and watching them struggle is very difficult to do for me. Yet somehow these people sit there and listen and watch to these helpless creatures boil to death. It is very inhumane.

Dear Professor Costal,              I want to start off by saying thank you. You made Rhetoric and Comp bearable to show up to. Every class was interesting and it also gave me the opportunity to talk to and learn from people who I most likely would not have if it weren’t for our families.              My year at college this year was definitely iffy. I think I discovered what I would like to do for a living, so I guess that is a good thing. I did not really meet many new people. That would be my fault, but I did it on purpose. I did not put myself out there because I do not really like people. I Hope for the next five months I stay healthy so I can continue going to the gym. I also hope I make enough money so I can go to Hong Kong and stay at his apartment there. In the next five years I will hopefully have been hired as a police officer and already a ...

On Tuesday in Holmdel the superintendent of the Kenilworth Public schools was charged with relieving himself in public early on Monday morning. School officials report finding daily doses of excrement by the track. After receiving information from High School staff and athletic coaches of human excrement near their practice fields, the SRO and school staff monitored the area to catch whoever was doing it. Turns out it was the superintendent named Thomas Tramaglini, 42 of Matawan.             I think that this local issue is very credible. It is not hard to think the superintendent of Kenilworth Public Schools was defecating near a high school track. The reason that I believe this is credible is because multiple people have come forward to say that it was him. The sting operation set up by the SRO and school faculty was a success as they found him pooping on their party. I actually think this is quite amusing and the fact tha...

To begin, the first part of OFCARL is, Is the writers opinions adequately supported. In this peer and scholarly reviewed article, the writer does clearly state his opinion and support it with fact. The writer believes that media has created college writers and journalists who have created a new sexual generation, this is backed up with factual evidence. The second part is are the writer’s facts verifiable. Yes the facts are verifiable. The facts stated by the author are easily searched and found on any internet browser. The facts are not hard to verify. The article was written in 2010, and it is taling about a new generation of newspaper writers and magazines writers. The source is outdated, because we have moved past paper writing and social media has dominated how news is spread. The author is credible, he was a professor of journalism at St Joseph’s University. The sources that are used in this article are cited, and they seem like reliable sources. I believe that the reasoning beh...

Since the Trump administration has taken over, the controversy of Global Warming has come into play. Trump is a firm believer that Global Warming is  Fake News.  Donald Trump is described as a  Bullshitter,  which in the words of Harry G. Frankfurt in his 2005 book  On Bullshit , is much worse than what people say he is. A Liar. As a bullshitter, Donald Trump wants to discredit evidence of the past, and have people believe what he is saying. He does not want people to know the real stories behind what he says, because then it will not fit what he is saying. Well, the same thing goes with Climate change. Science has proven to a reasonable extent that Global Warming is real.              According to NASA multiple studies show that 97% or more of climate focused scientists agree that the temperature increases over the past few decades are extremely likely due to human activities (2018). In fact ju...

A main theme in Ocean Breathes Salty is life and death. Many times in the song and video both are mentioned. "You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?" Is the last line in the song. This is evidently about life and death, but some may argue that this song is a take on religion. We see a clear take on religion in the lines, " When the earth folded in on itself. (You missed)  And said 'Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell (You missed, you missed)  are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath.'" Where we can see this same take on religion is at the end of the music video, when the boy is leaving the graveyard of past animals he has failed to save from death, all rise from the ground as members of the band. He then turns and notices them. The way they fade in, but he still notices them could be a reference to the first line of the song "Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry  you in. In my head, in my heart, and my so...

I am Bowlerboy14.               I want to start off by saying all of this stuff you have written sounds great, but you are not really my type. I am into girls.             I am only 5’9”, and I have 2 eyes, fairly normal sized. But I am into girls that are shorter than me. Tall girls tend to scare me a little bit.             I buy all of my clothes designer at the highest price possible. I am a vegan animal lover that is very high up in PETA. I am always frigid when I sleep, and I tend to sleep in sweatpants and long sleeves. I also like to keep my socks on when I sleep.             I like short girls. But not too short. Like the type of short where you can rest your arm on their head, or when they try to hit you in the face they have to...
