Unintended Obscurity By Gina Summary
Gina, I truly enjoyed reading your post and your explanation of how Unintentional Obscurity occurs was very similar to mine. I believed that a metaphor for Unintended Obscurity, can be found in this old saying “its’ not what you say, but its ‘what the other person hears. I have witnessed two people listing to the same conversation interpret the information totally different. This often occurs especially in conversations were the subject is about race, money, time or dates; the line you often hear from the person that’s doing the talking is that’s not what I said. Furthermore, that why it’s important for readers to make sure they completely understand the information before deciding and for writers to be clear and precise as possible. The

    People tell me their secrets. My friends and family; they all have secrets to share. The secrets are often about them doing bad things or people they dislike. Whatever the secret is, it requires privacy. According to the Macquarie English Concise Dictionary 5th Edition, privacy means: “the state of being confined to or intended only for the person or persons immediately concerned; confidentiality” This means the secret must only be known to one or a few people. But what if the secret gets spilled, and is open for everyone to see? This has unfortunately happened a lot to me and during the course of history. For example: I once told my brother a secret to keep away from my sister, but it turned out that he was just about as unreliable as a jelly pickaxe, he told my sister, and this led to my siblings and I getting into trouble with my parents, also; the secret method of how to break the enigma code was spilled during World War II and this lead to many deaths. If secrets are not well guarded, it can lead to a lot of danger and distress. Claire Carmichael saw all of this in the world and has decided to write a novel in the genre of science fiction to respond to the past in terms of understanding the future: Incognito. In the novel, it raises the issues and concerns of society like privacy, power and corruption and teaches us about it using a variety of literature techniques…

    World War 2 wasn 't just a war, it was a wake-up call. The people of the world were confronted with the face of true evil, and had to accept the harsh reality that our fellow man can commit atrocities beyond comprehension. The events of the war not only cause us to gasp in horror, but also make us reflect on how such evil could originate in the first place. In order to understand how such a disaster could ever take place, one must take a deeper look at the human psych; this is the basis behind Griffin 's work, Our Secret. In this collection of stories and reflections, the author does not just focus on one key aspect of man’s nature. Our Secret is littered with a myriad of topics such as child upbringing, societal stereotypes, and psychological development. Some are evident at first glance, while for others it is necessary to read through Griffin’s work several times before you catch them. In a way, reading this essay was like solving the picture puzzles I used to love as a kid. You…

Over several centuries ago, from the 1300s-1600s, England was experiencing its own type of witchcraft craze as it went through the process of executing thousands of people for their supposed misdeeds.

Due to the past exposures of hysteria and the already traumatic events occurring in the area,…
