The Multiple Person Complex
Well, I am embarrassed to admit this, but the assignment of the metaphor for life at a university was not something I worked very hard to write. Even more embarrassing is that it is evident when you read my paper. When I look back on it, I don't see a metaphor at all. A comparison? Yes. But there's no metaphor in my paper. That proves to me, and everyone in the class, that I didn't put a lot of thinking into my writing.
So I have to ask myself why a paper that was easy enough to write could have turned out so wrong. I think that I truly intended to use a jigsaw puzzle as a metaphor for my experiences of life at Bemidji State University. But as I wrote the paper, I remember feeling removed from the project and the contents. I was merely "creating" in to hand in. So I started with an object I could use for a metaphor, the puzzle, then just wrote out a simple comparison. I didn't even think about it not being a metaphor until I got it back a couple of days ago. It wasn't at all how I viewed life at the college. It was simply easier to do, than to explain way I really felt, like some strange force just keeps pushing me through school, and that I don't feel comfortable with the idea of what my education will bring me, or won't bring me. Instead of putting my real experiences on the paper with my real voice pulling the reader into my paper, I ended up with a dull, simple paper that didn't even fulfill the assignment.
The difference between me as the writer and the "me" portrayed in my papers is evident in my paper "Thoughts on Organization." I was very unsure of how to do the assignment, so I followed Marnie's advice and just started writing as things came to me. I wrote my thoughts as they occurred, basically. My little quirky comments are very true to my personality. In the metaphor paper I didnít use any of them. In fact, I purposely kept them out, thinking they had no place in a paper or essay. (How very institutionally OS of me, huh?) The reason I put the into other papers, is because I worked really hard on the, gave them long consideration, and wrote them with me as the "character" in them.
paper on the windigo psychosis “The Windigo In the Material World” analyzes the modern-day applications and the origins of the “windigo psychosis” (page 346). Brightman seeks to discover if the windigo complex has its roots in Algonkian culture, and if it is a diagnosable psychosis. The windigo complex is believed to have begun in the Algonkian tribes of the boreal forests, who believed that a man who ate human flesh would transform into a beast. This beast, called a windigo, would, in turn, hunt the
In 1983 an American developmental psychologist, Dr. Howard Gardner, at Harvard University released a document that outlined his theory about multiple intelligences. He believes that everyone has eight different intelligences that, those being linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, musical intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, spatial intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence and naturalist intelligence, with the last one being added later in

Many scientists suggest that artificial superintelligence cannot be achieved because of how complex it is to begin with. It is something so different from us that it seems almost impossible for it to be even achieved. It is something that has multiple features to it, essentially multiple intelligences. It is capable of doing and accomplishing a variety of tasks. It processes things in such a complex way that scientist still do not fully understand it. They do have a general idea on how it works
not dogmatic or unchallengeable, and were instead fluid, flexible and open ended. One key feature of ancient cosmology was that there could be multiple stories and theories that were created to explain the origin of the universe within a singular religion or culture. As the comogonies were not prescribed, nor were they dogmatic, many cultures had multiple different creation stories, where
many overlapping stories.” Adichie tells authentic stories that she has found when people hear a single story about another person or country. The single story could lead to dangerous consequences which make people limit their perspectives, create stereotypes and bias and even cognize things wrongly. “A Single Story” restricts people’s viewpoints about a complex culture and person. We live in a society that is full of diverse information, and news is usually the main information source for people to
of those who have already watched it. There are multiple complex sentences in Text B as the writer attempts to create this vivid and specific image of the opera within the mind of the reader. The use of different clauses within a sentence helps to let the authors idea’s flow more fluently and lets him talk in more depth about his experiences. Also it lets him link the different topics he is talking about together. An example of one of these complex sentences is found in the fifth paragraph. The first

Personality is one of those things that has multiple factors that affect the outcome of how it is measured. It seems that the fact that it can vary or alter is what makes it so complex.

response even more impecable is that Wolsey is trying to express more than one feeling, thus making his response a complex one. Through the use of allusion, metaphors, similes, and a bitter tone, Shakespeare conveys Wolsey's bitterness toward no longer having to perform his duties and that he also desires the demise of the prince.
Beliefs unlike our knowledge of things have the quality of either being true or false. Like with all information of things, persons, places or objects we either know of their existence or we do not. There does not exist a state of mind where there exists truth or falsehood associated with something that is known by the existence of that thing. We could be wrong about the knowledge we have of things but that knowledge could not be deceptive in nature, you either know of the existence of a thing or
