That’s roughly five hundred and fifty two per person; enough to stretch around the globe over two hundred and fifty
Nathanial Hawthorne’s short story, “The Minister’s Black Veil”, touches on the issues of social norms and how people often take too much precedence on questioning odd behaviors instead of accepting one’s personal choices. By constantly striving to demand answers, people often forget to appreciate the world’s complexity, and fail to realize it is impossible to have life’s answers readily available for personal consumption on a silver platter. The general public places too much emphasis on critically
For many of us, our days begin and end with checking our phones. We check them again when we get out of the shower, at meals, during meetings, at red lights, and while watching television. We even check them while having conversations with those sitting right in front of us. On average, we check our phones 85 times per day (Andrews, Sally, et al.), so frequently that many of us rarely have quiet moments to sit in silence, to contemplate, or to observe what is happening around us. Although communication
The Ransom of Red Chief is an amusing story that contains many points of situational irony. Two guys are in desperate need of two thousand dollars, so the only way they can think of obtaining this money is by kidnapping.

The theme I devised was:
Countless time teachers encounter students that struggle with mathematical concepts trough elementary grades. Often, the struggle stems from the inability to comprehend the mathematical concept of place value. “Understanding our place value system is an essential foundation for all computations with whole numbers” (Burns, 2010, p. 20). Students that recognize the composition of the numbers have more flexibility in mathematical computation. “Not only does the base-ten system allow us to express arbitrarily
1. If Buck could speak, write some dialogue of what he would say to John Thorton and describe why you think this is what he would say to John.

Once Buck noticed John near the river, he dashed towards him as his nerves were now at ease. "I cherish you for everything you have rendered for my prosperity. I will eternally be in your debt
In modern day mathematics, the use of decimals to determine accurate calculations is used in almost every situation. It is used so often that we forget that decimals haven’t always been around. They had to have come from somewhere, but where did they come from? The origination of the decimal system is often overlooked and undervalued, but the importance of decimals in modern mathematics is extremely significant. This is why Simon Stevin’s work on decimal arithmetic was such a huge impact on the advancement
In most people’s minds, the word sacrifice equals self-giving actions and explains selflessness. Under certain conditions, people voluntarily choose to sacrifice their benefits or even lives to achieve other goals. Through Meng Zi’s “Fish and Bear’s Paw”, we know that for most of time, people can only choose one between the two significant events, especially when they are sharply contradictory with each other. Everyone has his or her own value system about the world, and what someone considers the
While reading the play “The Tragedy Of Othello” by Shakespeare I realized that it was almost like reading one big poem. Many of Shakespeare’s plays have a rhyme scheme this is called blank verse, “written prodomintaly in blank verse, Othello also includes prose passages (many spoken by Iago) and rhymed couplets (which punctuate the ends of some scenes)” (DiYanni 1011).

If the present day mom goes to the nearest grocery store, she might find that every price has a .99 behind it. When she goes home to make dinner, she’ll need to get 1.5 grams of salt for her grandma’s homemade lasagna recipe. But how does 1.5 mean one and a half?

Meghan Vicks’s article “The Semiotics of Zero” is an explanation of the use and effect of the concept of zero (0) in the short story “Signs and Symbols” by Vladimir Nabokov.
