The first outstanding aspect in No Country For Old Men is the absence of as much punctuation as possible. McCarthy used very few apostrophes, quotation marks, or any other basic punctuation to provide a variety of effects. Her writing style is just like the setting of the book – stripped down the bare necessities, plain, and wide open. It also nearly forces you to reread many sentences to gather all the information McCarthy has subtly injected in every line. It is a very unique but appealing style

tank for the first time. Never in my life have I argued with my best friend about the stupidest thing. Who, is going to pay for the first gas fill-up? After about 10 minutes of arguing we finally decided to flip a coin to see who would pay. Turns out there are some rules about coin flipping that I didn’t know about. We just had a mutual agreement to alternate who pays for gas. That was only the first major delay in our trip. As we start on the long stretch of nothingness people refer to as the Nebraska
working within the realm of real estate, flipping houses is one of the most lucrative projects one can undertake. The premise of this idea is buying a home in need of repair, renovating it, and selling it at its newly appraised value.

The invaluable lessons I learned throughout this business venture gave me insights into the inner workings of house flipping. What I gained from this experience will
Fixing and flipping houses is one of the more popular strategies for making money in the real estate market. It is one of the more looked down on strategies as well, but that is easily overwhelmed by the fact that the good old fix and flip is one of the most profitable strategies in the business. A fix and flip strategy is relatively simple: it doesn’t matter what the market is like, doesn’t require a lot of money, doesn’t take a lot of time, and generates a lot of cash.

ever been a point in history where there was as much interactivity as there is currently. The main reason for this change in the reader’s role is the rapidly growing amount of hypertext being used. In the 1960’s, Ted Nelson was the first person to coin this popular term “hypertext” but I prefer to reference Bolter’s description. Hypertext, as described by Jay Bolter in Writing Space, is layered writing and reading, where you can click on links within a narrative or article. These links work as reference

“otherness.” Othello, by his nature, is not an “otherized” character. Besides being the dark-skinned Moor, Othello varies in no real way from the other characters in the play. Further, Othello and Iago can be seen as two sides of the same destructive coin. With Iago as a foil and subversive adversary, Othello is not faulted for the indiscretions he commits. It is the invention and projection of otherness by various characters in the play, especially Iago, which set the stage for the tragedy of dissimilarity

Mr. Wemmick, when at work, only thinks about his work, and doesn¹t let his personal life affect how he goes about his business.

The scene when he takes Pip to work shows the change that he goes through on his way to work: ³By degrees, Wemmick
miner. In a group of miners, coins in a proof-of-work system are split up based on their “hashrates,” or how many attempted hashes they can do a second. As stated previously, Bitcoin uses a proof-of-work system. Proof-of-stake systems differ from proof-of-work ones because processing power is irrelevant to the probability of mining a block. Instead, the probability is based on how many coins that the miner is in possession of. So, if a miner has one percent of the coins in existence, they can mine

Minters often imprinted famous gods and figures from Greek Mythology as such designs were very popular at the time, although early coins generally had a simple geometric shape such as a quartered square.
