Rant: The Oral Biography of Buster Casey is widely known as one of the Chuck Palahniuk’s most complicated reads, a mind-blowing “out-there” novel in what is typically considered a very extreme bibliography. The unconventional narrative style, plethora of contradicting narrators, and indecipherable subject matter all combine into one oral biography of a complex, incomprehensible man by the name of Buster “Rant” Casey—a man who liked to be bitten by venomous animals, a man who could discern a person’s
I haven't gone on a rant for a while but this POS has pissed me off bigtime. On the 4th of July he burns an American flag and post how he is ashamed of his country.

Metro Radio Rant English Assessment Have you been late for the metro, on certain occasions, or has the metro had maintenance, casually most of the time, well I am here to discuss this problem and give my own personal opinions and experiences. My first key highlight of the ‘trusty and reliable’ service would have to be that the metro timetable is extremely un-reliable and outdated due to the metros un-weary maintenance service and their ‘caring’ service schedules i.e. in the middle of Christmas when
In the article “A Rant About Women” by Clay Shirky he explains how adult males are better at furthering themselves, how females have more pressure about how the world views them.

claims, but her backing and warrants are non-existent, which leads to the emotional rants that make up the article. The audience in general isn’t moved to think her way when all they get from her paper is the rant with nothing to strengthen her points. She also doesn’t give the other side of the argument a chance and continues to bash it without letting it have its fair chance. One of the many examples of her rant structured arguments is “Texting and e-mail and posting let us present the self we want
society’s stress. For starters, the content is the first element to build a connection between my message and the reader. When I was writing the poem I intended to get the reader thinking about the stress we face in life.

Homophobia in the Modern World: A Rant for LGBTQ Acceptance What really grinds my gears is seeing homophobia in the modern world. Yes, I acknowledge that it is seen as a sin—especially in the early times when people believe in witchcraft. Seriously, it’s 2016 and we’re having a little fit over who uses what bathroom?

township in Lombardy”(Stendhal457). He absolutely hated it and was basically saying Rome is the only place that would put up with such a terrible performance.

Reflection Letter During the semester I have learned a lot about writing. The last time I had written a paper of any kind was over 5 years ago so relearning everything was both challenging and rewarding. There were many opportunities within this class to work towards improving my writing skills.
