In the personal essay “Making Poison”, the author Margaret Atwood, shows her innocence and proves the innocence of humans through the use of anecdotes and rhetorical questions. The rhetorical question “Why did we make the poison in the first place?” (Atwood) proves her innocence because she did not know what to do with the poison at the end since she had no intentions of causing any harm to anyone due to her innocence.

The book Readicide by Kelly Gallagher is the ugly truth of the policies adopted in the school system to prioritized test taking strategies for the most part of the day and killing the enjoyment of students reading. The author points out that students’ reading has shifted negatively and the reading percentage has decreased. Students hate to read and classic novels are slowly vanishing from classrooms. The findings to Gallagher’s discoveries are research based and heartbreaking as the movement of standardized testing has been reinforced in most states. There are too many standards to teach and teachers are held accountable for students testing performance. Therefore, educators are forced to do test preps where students are provided with facts to be memorized and lack of comprehension. The author emphasized that students are no longer able to choose a book for the enjoyment of reading. Students’ interests are no longer taken into consideration. Students are reading less and less at school to make time for test prep. Gallagher says that as an educator and parent young

Preston’s imagery helps paint the image of the true horrors that the Ebola virus brings. One victim of the virus, Charles Monet, was exposed to “black and red vomit”, “[dissolving] connective tissue”, and “blood clots” leaving the reader with a sense of horror and fright when confronted with the power which such a small virus may possess. This newly found knowledge lends to the thought that the human race must research and understand the virus so that we as a civilization can prevent sickening fate that was Charles Monet’s. The imagery also paints a sinister picture of the virus such as when the Ebola virus was described as “snakes” due to their form(137). The idea of a snake frightens many people due to their dangerous nature, which
There are many norms associated with being a woman and being a man, especially during the time period of which Strong Poison by Dorothy Sayers was written in. These include, but are not limited to, the following (feminine and masculine counters are separated by a / ): one must always obey males because they are the superior sex/one must not allow women to hold any form of power because they are the weaker sex, one must obey her husband/one must not let his wife do whatever she pleases, and one must not live with another of the opposite sex unless they are relatives or married. Despite these norms being set in place for most of the characters in Strong Poison, there are a few exceptions for on both the feminine and masculine side.

Over several centuries Roman fever was used to describe the spread of malaria outbreaks in Rome; the city was embedded with this disease due to the swampy terrain that surrounded the area becoming a breeding ground for mosquitos. This plague was not only an actual concern for the women during their younger voyages to Rome, but holds a symbolic meaning as well. In reminiscing about the past the women bring up Mrs. Slade’s Aunt Harriet and her actions against her own sister when she found out they were in love with the same man. "Oh, yes; Great-aunt Harriet. The one was supposed to have sent her young sister out to the Forum after sunset to gather a nightblooming flower for her album.”, At any rate, the poor little sister caught the fever and died. Mother used to frighten us with the story when...
In the article Threshold of Violence published by The New Yorker Magazine, author Malcolm Gladwell alludes to the cause of school shootings and why they transpire. Gladwell tries to make sense of the epidemic by consulting a study of riots by stanford sociologist Mark Granovetter. Granovetter sought to understand “why people do things that go against who they are or what they think is right, for instance, why typically non-violent, law-abiding people join a riot”(Granovetter). He concluded that people’s likelihood of joining a riot is determined by the number of people already involved. The ones who start a riot don’t need anyone else to model this behavior for them that they have a “threshold” of zero. But others will riot only if someone
In The Murder of Helen Jewett, Patricia Cohen uses one of the most trivial murders during the 1800’s to illustrate the sexiest society accommodations to the privileged, hypocritical tunneled views toward sexual behavior, and the exploitation of legal codes, use of tabloid journalism, and politics. Taking the fact that woman was made from taking a rib from man was more than biblical knowledge, but incorporated into the male belief that a woman’s place is determined by the man. Helen had the proper rearing a maid servant, but how did she fall so far from grace. Judge Weston properly takes credit for rearing her with the proper strictness and education. Was Helen seduced at an early age and introduced to sexual perversions that were more persuasive that the bible belt life that the Weston’s tried to live? Was Helen simply a woman who knew how to use what she had to get what she wanted? Through personal correspondence, legal documentation, census reports, paintings, and newspapers we are able to make our own determinations. Cohen provides more than enough background and history to allow any one to make their own opinion how the murder of a woman could be turned into a side show at a circus.

First and foremost, the novel Hush by Jacqueline Woodson deals with a lot of issues, but if we really look closely at Toswiah/Evie’s internal journey we really understand that the book revolves around Evie/Toswiah and how she needs to about figure out who she is. Toswiah/Evie asks herself questions within the novel about her identity. So, if I were to judge: I believe the uprising theme of Hush is to never forget who you are. I say this because her character keeps reminiscing about how her life was in Denver how she had what she believes is “the perfect life” she had a roof over her head, food on the table, and a best friend who meant to world to her. In the novel Toswiah/Evie begins to question her external circumstances. For instance, being placed in the Witness Protection Program, and being
