Within the first paragraph of Shooting Dad Sarah Vowell establishes her diametric relationship with her father. Vowell says she “never subscribed to Guns & Ammo,” “did not plaster the family vehicle with National Rifle Association stickers,” and always disliked “hunter’s orange,” which implies her father delights in these activities. She reveals her anti-gun stance, and shows the pro-gun stance of her father simultaneously. The historical term “a house divided” and the phrase “Civil War…

This morning, a YouTube video purporting to contain the new Angels & Airwaves (abbreviated AVA) single appeared somewhat surreptitiously online. The song, “Paralyzed,” is widely conjectured to be the lead single from the band’s upcoming fourth studio album Poet, which is slated for release on Halloween. However, the band—or their label—seem to be sending mixed messages of sorts, as the video was pulled from YouTube within several hours of its initial posting. Though there are now ripped versions…

Matthew McGee Epistemology Final Paper Q1 Goodman 's “grue” example and Hempel’s Raven Paradox are very similar. The Raven Paradox posits that for any given object x, when we assert that it is neither black, nor a raven, we are confirming the hypothesis that “all non-black things are non-ravens” (pg, 70).

It is a story based on…

In the article, Elizabeth got verbally and physically abused, but in the poem, the little girl walks into a church and then it gets bombed. Getting blown up is more destructive than getting bullied. In the article “When…

The goal of the video is to raise monetary contributions to help maintain shelter, medication, and care for these rescued animals.
