text. I also turned Jerry, into a female character, so that I could associate more with whom I was playing. I found it difficult to associate with Jerry as a male character because I found it difficult to imagine what a man would do in a situation like this, and thought a female character would suit this play better. The play is set on a park bench, in a park, which is situated in the heart of a city. It is about two middle-aged people, a man Peter and a woman Jerry, and how they meet and
Wittgenstein in the Language of Thought In his book, The Language of Thought, Jerry Fodor claims that i) Wittgenstein’s private language argument is not in fact against Fodor’s theory, and ii) Wittgenstein’s private language argument “isn’t really any good” (70). In this paper I hope to show that Fodor’s second claim is patently false. In aid of this I will consider Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations (243-363), Jerry Fodor's The Language of Thought (55-97), as well as Anthony Kenny’s Wittgenstein

When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!" He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling

It was often on the ground floor but sometimes it was raised to the second floor for extra security. “The great hall was a large one-room structure with a lofty ceiling”(Giess 58). This was where all the people of the castles slept (excluding the lord and the Lady). There was of course a great big curtain put up so the ladies would be separate from the men. It wasn’t until the end of the century when separate rooms were invented. The great hall was usually located in
Castle The only sound echoing through the dark stone halls was that of the ancient grandfather clock that rested at the end of the corridor. The noise bouncing off the stones through the grand arches of the once grand hall. Time had both been kind and hard to the castle. The castle had withstood centuries, millenniums of historical eras.

One does not generally associate hallways with open space, but because there are a series of doorways that run on the left side of the hall, it is as if it is saying there are multiple regions of information to discover.

He snatched Samuel’s hand and with a flick of his wrist twisted him around until his face made a sickening thwack against the cool dull metal of the locker. Samuel was just a boy in high school. He was bright, intelligent and every bit as kind as
