In his poem, “Prometheus,” Emery George’s speaker closely aligns himself with the main character to describe his theft of fire and its effects on the story of humankind. Even though the narrator speaks in third person, he knows Prometheus’s thoughts and is very in-tune with his experience suggesting that perhaps Prometheus is actually the speaker.

Mand is a verbal operant in which the speaker asks/requests for what he/she needs or wants (Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2007; Emery, 2017). An example of a mand would be asking for directions when lost.

Supposedly the fast food chain had engineered a more efficient way to manufacture their chicken by growing it without heads, beaks, and feathers. The chickens would then be hooked up to mechanical tubes and be fed the exact ration of food that

It is important to note that the lingering feelings do not count as long-term effects, these are natural and expected but do not count (Kelly and Emery, 2003).

quick fixes, instead of facts. The Tommy Hilfiger Rumor has all of the signs of the urban legend. As Defined by Craughwell “urban legends are usually passed by word of mouth and by E-mail”. Urban legends have many variations (Craughwell 9,13). David Emery from About.com has two of the most common variations of the E-mail in his article.

Eddie had told lies about what was acceptable for him to participate in due to his religion/culture. These lies included; sitting in the back of the classroom so his distance will show his
novel also presented the atmosphere of the American City as a trap; an inescapable place that drains all morals, leaving one surround by a society of loneliness. The novel consisted of two different stories, one about Hazel Motes and one about Enoch Emery. Both stories, in my eyes, were quite different.
