Recommended: Power in literature

In a world filled with magic, no one is unique. Everyone has a wand of their own, and are able to cast spells, summon mythical creatures, and create potions to increase physical ability. In a world with no uniqueness, difference is no where to be seen. When someone finds a new discovery or finds a new element of sorts, then he is considered a genius. The genius, in this case, was Magician Gene. Gene was your ordinary magician, long beard, magic wand, long robe, and the whole magic package. He sought new discoveries in the world of magic, but to no avail. His final discovery, before he sought retirement from his practice of sorcery, would change the history of magic forever. It was a Friday, Gene just got home after summoning a few dragons at work, studying them to find …show more content…

Jaraxxus said, “PUNY HUMANS, YOUR ARROGANCE WILL BE YOUR UNDOING!” Jaraxxus started targeting specific people to kill. It was what people thought of as the end of times for their world. “Stop, demon! You are bound to me!” A very short magician came out of the shadows. He used his wand to summon a book, the Sacrificial Pact. “NOOOO! YOU HAVE DEFEATED ME, BUT YOUR WORLD IS STILL DOOMED!” Jaraxxus screamed as he was sucked into the book. Everyone cheered for this unknown magician. They asked for his name. “The name is Wilfred Fizzlebang, master summoner. This demon was bound to me, but must have escaped from me when I wasn’t looking. Do not fear folks, the terror of Jaraxxus is over, for now.” Wilfred Fizzlebang summoned a portal, and vanished into it instantly. The warp was gone from Gene; he saw no aura around him and could not find any marks on his face. He was relieved. Gene walked back home. His home was not completely ruined by Jaraxxus, though the roof was very damaged. Gene then proceeded to what he wanted to do in the first place, and so, he made his magic peanut butter and jelly

  • Albert Einstein Rhetorical Analysis

    That notion, happens to be the way Albert Einstein was perceived throughout his whole childhood. Future generations find this ironic because they know of his later accomplishments, but Einstein spent a majority of his life believed to be rather incompetent. He didn’t speak his first word until the age of four, and it wasn’t until the age of nine he could speak fluently. Most people thought he had a mild learning disability, and teachers described him as slow. His grades reflected indifference and he was expelled for “rebellious behavior.” Einstein was refused admittance to his dream school, Zurich Polytechnic. Not to mention when he finally found a school that would accept him, his grades were poor and his professors never took him seriously. From day one, no one had any high expectations for him, and he was destined to be a dropout selling door-to-door life insurance. Yes, he even considered it at one point. Nevertheless, Einstein graduated. Depending on the perspective in this story, one might call his success in later years sheer luck based on his childhood. Yet, it wasn’t luck, but endurance. Einstein went through his whole life believing he would amount to nothing, and being told likewise. But by simply refusing to accept the fate everyone had presumptuously laid out for him, he exceeded far beyond

  • Manipulation In Oedipus The King

    A rosy cheeked child plays “Chutes and Ladders” with uncanny ruthlessness as his soft, plump hands curl into fists ready to obliterate the board in a reign of terror. Only an unforgiving god who waits for the game of a prophecy to unfold on its victims rivals the child’s merciless disposition. In each case, the game is unwinnable for the tyrant’s opponents. The opponent’s only choice is to refuse to play the game; he can refuse to be subjugated to either the child’s tantrums or the god’s wrath. For a god, a prophecy is a game that makes the competitor the rival and the pawn. Apollo manipulates both Oedipus and Jocasta in the game that is their lives. In Oedipus Rex, Oedipus and Jocasta struggle to survive in a world that Sophocles portrays

    Charles Spearman's model of intelligence and Howard Gardner's multiple intelligence theory are two of the most widely used theories of intelligence. In order to understand how similar the two theories are we must first understand their differences. These two men differed in opinion on how IQ and intelligence should be measured, and they differed in opinion on what made a person "smart". In order to examine these things they first had to understand the human brain and how it works. They had to examine the human study habits and rituals, along with the human test taking habits.

  • Success In Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers

    1458 Words  | 3 Pages

    Some people that are excellent examples of this include Bill Joy, Bills Gates, and The Beatles. All of these people were successful because of their hard work and dedication to what they do. How much dedication does it take? Gladwell states that to become an expert one must spend at least ten thousand hours on the skill. Prior to this milestone, these three were all nothing, no one knew who they were. Starting out I’ll discuss Bill Joy, a computer scientist who made vast improvements to the way we use technology today. Joy went to the University of Michigan looking to become a mathematician or a biologist, but he came out an expert in computer science. The world of programming was still a very new field at this time, so one would think that Joy succeeded due to his dedication and raw talents alone right? Gladwell disagrees, Joy just so happened to have gone to a school where instead of coding with punch cards students were using time-sharing, a much more efficient way to code. Joy was just so fortunate to go to one of the few schools in the entire nation that was using this method of coding. After Michigan, Joy moved on to the University of California Berkley whereby his second year he hit his ten thousand hour milestone. Prior to hitting this milestone, Joy wasn’t widely known in the coding world, but that would all change. Joy would go on to rewrite UNIX and Java, two

  • Albert Einstein: One of Gladwell's Outliers?

    1078 Words  | 3 Pages

    Einstein was not always an extremely successful man and he had difficulties that would have prevented anyone else from succeeding, but eventually, several of his theories led to scientific advancements. One theory earned him a Nobel Prize, in physics one a PhD and another helped in the development of nuclear fission. If a person were only to take a quick glance at his life without a deeper investigation, they would find it difficult to discover the catalyst that led to his success. However, with the tools Gladwell provides his readers it does become obvious what led to Einstein’s life of success. Gladwell argues that a person needs to devote time to practice their craft; he calls this the “10,000-hour rule” (Gladwell 35). They must also have opportunity to succeed, as well as intelligence; they must at least be, smart enough to do so. He also claims that they must have been born at just the right time for success, too early or too late is a failure; he calls this the “Matthew Effect” (Gladwell 15). Gladwell even goes so far as to say that where they are born has a significant impact on their success; this he calls “demographic luck” (Gladwell 129). These tools provided by Gladwell to identify an outlier can explain if Albert Einstein is truly an outlier.

    Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligence focuses more on how numerical expressions of human intelligence are not a full and accurate depiction of people’s abilities (McFarlane, 2011). He includes and describes eight intelligences that are based on skills and abilities that are valued within different cultures. The eight intelligences include visual-spatial (e.g. sailor navigating with no navigational systems), verbal-linguistic (e.g. poets, writers, orators, and communicators), bodily-kinesthetic (e.g. dancers, athletes, surgeons, craftspeople), logical-mathematical (e.g. mathematicians and logicians), interpersonal(e.g. salespeople, teachers, clinicians, politicians, and religious leaders), musical (e.g. musicians and
