In Wilberforce's “The African Slave Trade”, he openly express his concern about slavery by taking it to The House of Commons and wanting to get rid of slavery trade for good. I would agree with Wilberforce's arguments but I would also like to add on that there is an ironic behavior of evil.
Firstly, in this particular reading, Wilberforce emphasizes on the abolition of slave trade is necessary to end this “evil”1. Here Wilberforce is talking to a group of gentlemen in The House of Commons where these folks are listening to the proposal about the abolition of slavery. Though I would agree with Wilberforce that slavery is horrible (still is horrible even in today's standards), the word context “evil” provides a much larger meaning than simple synonyms such as bad, not good, or poor. In this sense, “evil” can represent human a small and large definition.

From the moment we are born, we are bound to use facial expressions, make a wide range of sounds, and use distance and gestures as a way to communicate our emotions and feelings toward certain situations, activity, and people on a daily basis. Nonverbal communication is the foundation of how we send and receive messages through visual cues and wordless interactions between people. It is a basic language we are born with and have all come to learn within the primary stages of life. It is also used
hurricanes aren’t taken as seriously as other more common disasters, such as, earthquakes and volcanoes yet the hurricane can be a lot more damaging that both of those.

Harold said, “Yup.” “Did you grab the plates?” I inquired. “Yes,” Harold assured. “I told you that three times already!” Ok, I admit. I was freaking out a little. We were having 4 famous people over for a dinner party at the town hall. I was so excited and so scared

In the essay it shows you what you could expect to see in a horror book. The author says “When suspense is an important element in fiction we may often find that the plot is the most critical part in the story.” Where do you find suspense the most? Yup you guessed it “Horror.” Sometimes horror can scare you so much that you would be afraid of something. It is okay to be scared of something.

With the last reaping coming to a close the screen switches to a studio with a panel, and I quickly flip it off, not bothered with what the Hunger Games "experts" think about the reapings. I flip through my papers, making sure everything is in order, and then turn to Lei, who is resting his cheek on his fist as he stares at the wall with a bored look glazed over his face. "Do you have your notes done Lei?" I ask, snapping him back into reality. After fumbling with his notepad for a moment he nods

Italy has had over fifty governments since the end of the Second World War. That means almost one government every year. Politics in Italy has always been a touchy subject with the Italian community because of the unrest in their country. Dario Fo's play looks at this and in a comical, yet satirical manner exposes government tactics used. Fo's focus is mainly the issue of currency and its value. In Italy there was a time when the price of goods and services ran so high because of inflation that people
