In this article, one of the main issues is that the tower’s structural engineer, Lee Robertson, addressed the problem of terrorism in the plans for the building, claiming he “designed it for a (Boeing) 707 to hit it”. In the center of the tower there is a central support core. This core is built of sheer concrete reinforced by 44 beams of construction grade steel, which were sealed in asbestos. When the plane hit the north tower it took a direct hit to the core, but the plane that hit the south tower went in on an angle, almost parallel to the core structure. The fuel barley grazes the core of the south tower, with most of it burning outside the building in a huge fireball, yet the south tower was the first to fall.…
There are many conspiracies behind the infamous terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001. Conspiracies involving the collapse of the Twin Towers and the attack on The Pentagon has been talked about ever since, including the most famous conspiracy of whether or not President George W. Bush planned the September 11 attacks.…
Remember that this analysis should not be a list. Instead of describing everything about the text, focus on the most important aspects of “Hidden Intellectualism” and begin to interpret it by ascribing meaning…
She comes to understand that it is with our daily lives that we begin to find ourselves and realize that our words not only the text matter. One has to give their own authority and their own standpoint to make their point argumentative. Through personal life, methods of teaching and college experience does Sommers truly notice the change between her own authority and textual information. It is within us that truly makes a paper what it is. Our own authority should be our judgment. Between the drafts makes one comprehend what really happens between 2 papers. Drafts not only have to be papers but they can pertain to our own lives as well. Arguments begin with our own voices. Either the risk one takes or the risk they do not. It is with much evidence and disdain that Sommers truly presents her argument. One is lost between the words of the paper to make it seem less effective. Sommers uses effective writing techniques’ and much revision to make her thesis…
In terms of a “genre shift”, Fahnestock argues that the genre of writing changes based on the audience one is writing for. She focuses on two of Aristotle’s forms of oratory to define the genres in play – forensic and epideictic (332-333). Fahnestock classifies scientific reports as forensic – their main focus is on proving and defending facts (333). The typical audience of these reports tend to have the requisite background knowledge to understand the context of the research. However, the broader audience often lacks this contextual knowledge to be fully aware…

My dealings with the man were always cordial, though not productive. I read as much of his mammoth Reclaiming History as I could. I came away agreeing with him that there were many implausible JFK conspiracy theories out there–in addition to the also-implausible anti-conspiracy theory that he advocated.…
The role of the American government has always been to protect its people at all costs. Does that include lying to its people or covering up an event? And if they are doing such a thing, are they protecting their people or themselves? Conspiracy theorists constantly create alternative theories to what we are told to believe; some are completely outrageous, but for some theories, it is difficult to deny that there is possibly some amount of truth to them. As crazy as it might sound at first, many believe the government has covered up events ranging from the attack on 9/11 and the assassination of JFK, to the creation of LSD and HIV. Some theories are ridiculous and can be disproved in a heartbeat. Some theories are plausible and could possibly…
Conspiracy theories have been around for many years. The earliest one that I can find in politics was after the Tea Act of 1773. Thomas Jefferson stated that King George was sending armies to kill and oppress the American people. I believe this helped him to gain support in seceding from Great Britain. The second, also involving Jefferson, but was meant to keep him from being elected as president. Jefferson’s opposition claimed that he was part of a secret society, called the Illuminati, and that he was going to destroy the country with terror and tyranny. They also claimed that he was anti-religion. Another conspiracy was when a group, called the Freemasons or Masons, was thought to be behind Aaron Burr wanting to start an independent…
An effective author uses a variety of literary proofs in order to support the ideas that they write about. As a result of the various examples of literary proofs, different authors use different methods of proof based on what they are writing about. In the essays, "The Not So Deadly Sin" by Barbara Kingsolver and "The Death of History is Bunk" by Patrick Watson, the authors clearly demonstrate the use of strong literary proofs.…
Northrop Frye creates the greatest argument of the three authors by analyzing language into three major levels; the language of consciousness or awareness, the language of practical sense, and the language of literature. The first language, the language of conscious and awareness, is our means if self expression that is the production of conversation. The second language, the language of practical sense, is our means of participating in society that produces information. The last language, the language of literature, is our means of entering the world of imagination and produces creative poetry from each writer. He then goes on to isolate the two subjects literature and science. Literature is information that comes from the imaginational world of an author’s head that is put forth into society and civilization. While science begins in the external world and adds imagination, Northrop Frye’s comparisons between imagination and literature and practical and technical is what makes his argument so effective. As well, Northrop Frye uses hypothetical situations as a type of analogy in order to better reinforce his perspective. He believes that it is through the…
Because this is a short paper focusing on your application of a particular theory, you do not need to incorporate any outside research into your argument; you should, however, use this assignment as a stepping-stone toward your literary analysis paper by offering an abbreviated version of your (tentative) thesis statement and argument.…
The power of literature really has no limits: it enables authors as well as readers to make significant revelations and, in turn, embarks us on a journey that leads certain meaning, often in the form of a powerful enlightenment because we are obliged to see the world from the author’s perspective and this leads to the reader’s questioning of meanings.…
