It was a morning which began like any other— 50,000 workers kissed their wives and husbands goodbye, dropped their kids off at school, and brewed their morning cup of coffee. Each headed to their office, some traveling up to 110 stories, to begin their day of work. President George W. Bush read to a class of kindergarten students, unbeknownst that this day, September 11, 2001, would soon go down as one of the darkest days in American history. This tragic event left millions of American’s panic-stricken

development that Romance Languages. It is found that English isn’t effective with pronoun as there aren’t any sign of relationships. Romance languages show differences between singular and plural pronouns as well as formal and informal. Romance languages are more complex and requires the speaker to indicate relations to the person who they are addressing. The English language lacks “impersonal third person singular pronoun”( Lippi-Green, 2012, p 9). There is only he or she, which indicate gender. Instead

Transgender people are no strangers to society: the concept of not feeling comfortable in one's birth-assigned gender has been around since man can remember. It's quite puzzling to see that many centuries later, people still treat transgender people of an alien-like nature, of some sort of non-human species. Transgender people have been discriminated for long enough. The discrimination sent towards them is wrong: they're just humans who made changes to their lives for the better as all people have

Our lives, whether we realize it or not, revolve around emotion. When plagued with sadness, we find it hard to function; our daily lives hindered and impossible to live. When we feel jubilant, life is comfortable and satisfying. But whatever the circumstance, emotions will eventually lose their grip and sink into the river of time, forgotten until mentioned again. Depression, however, has a profound effect. Depression doesn't fade like emotion; it clings to the minds of the unfortunate souls possessing

though he is presenting a verbal speech. In contrast, O’Donnell writes from personal experience to share her methods of teaching with her fellow teachers. For example, she writes “Before teaching annotating, we ask that students . . .” The use of the pronoun “we” shows the connection O’Donnell feels with her audience of other teachers. Ironically, Otten addresses students and writes about teachers in third person while O’Donnell does the opposite- addresses teachers and writes about students in third

Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sherry Turkle, in her New York Times article “The Flight from Conversation”, identifies society’s declining ability to connect with each other on a person-to-person basis. Turkle’s purpose is to highlight the importance of human interaction with the absence of technology. She supports her argument concerning technology’s negative implications on people’s interactions amongst each other by the following:

Perhaps one of the most striking strategies is that of the use of rhetorical questions. A rhetorical question presents a statement as a question but does not require an answer. Examples of this would be: “Now comrades, what is the nature of this life of ours?” (Orwell:1945) and “Is it because this land of ours is so poor that it cannot afford a decent life to those who dwell upon it?” (Orwell:1945). The speaker has used rhetorical questions for emphasis. In the first instance, the speaker tries to

Tolley states in The Poetry of the Forties: “Kathleen Raine is the most eloquent exponent of her generation of the conception of poetry as a form of knowledge beyond the empirical and rational” (Tolley 136). Her poetry is often gender neutral in its pronouns and seemingly supports a lyric universality rooted in the Romantic tradition which established the genius of a male poet. Rita Felski in her essay Beyond Feminist Aesthetics: Feminist Literature and Social Change concludes: “Frequently the narrative

the pronoun ‘I’ builds a relationship with the reader as it feels like the writer is telling the reader his personal memories, and the noun ‘fellow’ creates a sense of community as the word means someone in the same group. The use of the phrase ‘fellow cat sitter’ may have also been used as a way of the writer making himself feel better about his somewhat ridiculous job with the fact that he is not the only person who has chosen ‘cat sitting’ as a career. Even though both texts use a pronoun and
