It includes phrases using metaphor, simile, and personification from literature, news reports, and everyday speech. It also provides definitions of figurative language and examples that show bias through word choice or insinuation. The document serves as a study guide for a midterm on identifying different types of figurative and slanted language.
Vocabulary words
This document contains 5 vocabulary words - furious, ceremony, imagination, sultry, and startling - along with their definitions and sample sentences. For each word, a synonym is also provided. The words cover a range of meanings including emotions like anger and surprise, as well as concepts like formal recognition events, creative thinking, hot and humid weather, and sudden shock.
Production Pitch
The document outlines a production pitch for a slasher film opening sequence. It will feature genre conventions like a young female home alone being stalked by a masked killer with a knife. The plot follows a girl named Kris receiving strange calls after a fight with her boyfriend, then encountering the killer in her home. She discovers her boyfriend's body and fights with the killer but is ultimately stabbed to death. The main characters are described as well as the domestic home location meant to provide a false sense of security.
The hunt
A woman named Katelyn is being hunted in her house by an unknown attacker. The document follows Katelyn as she runs through the house in a panic and hides in a wardrobe, breathing heavily as the attacker searches for her nearby. As the attacker stomps outside the wardrobe, Katelyn feels their breath on her neck but doesn't dare breathe. She jumps out screaming and escapes out the window just as the attacker appears in the doorway, unaware that Katelyn has fled. The document cuts to white noise and screaming, indicating Katelyn's fate remains unknown.

Conservation Movement_ Changing Behavior.pptx
Thomas A. Heberlein argues that conservation efforts should focus on changing behaviors rather than attitudes. He advocates using "structural fixes" that change social norms and environments to influence behavior, rather than relying on "cognitive fixes" that aim to change attitudes through increasing knowledge. Norms are powerful because they are specific, observable behaviors that people follow to feel positively regarded by others. While attitudes are resistant to change and take direct experience to shift, behaviors can be influenced by altering social norms without changing underlying attitudes.
Understanding social media & free speech
This document discusses the history and legal framework of freedom of speech in the United States. It outlines key Supreme Court cases that have established precedents, including Schenck v. United States which introduced the "clear and present danger" test, and Marsh v. Alabama which established that the First Amendment can apply to private property serving as a public forum. The document then examines questions around whether social media sites can legally censor speech and whether Section 230 or the Constitution need updating to address the role of modern internet platforms.
19th century germ theory
The document discusses the history and development of the germ theory of disease from the 19th century to present day. It describes how in the mid-19th century, scientists like Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch provided evidence that challenged the prevailing zymotic theory of disease. Their research demonstrated that specific microorganisms can cause particular infectious diseases and spread between individuals. By the late 19th century, germ theory had become widely accepted in medicine and revolutionized understandings of pathology and surgical practices. The current COVID-19 pandemic further illustrates germ theory, as the coronavirus has been shown to spread from person to person and researchers are working to develop a vaccine against the virus.
Beyond the hashtags
This document summarizes key facts and statistics about Twitter usage and demographics. It then provides context for studying hashtags and tweets related to the Black Lives Matter movement. Specifically, it examines the roles that social media and digital tools played in amplifying anti-police brutality activist goals. The research aims to understand how online media contributed to the growth and impact of the BLM movement by analyzing traces people left through interacting on Twitter.
Inductive deductive revised
This document provides an introduction to inductive and deductive reasoning. It defines inductive reasoning as reasoning from specific evidence to form a general conclusion, while deductive reasoning proceeds from general principles to specific conclusions. Several examples of inductive reasoning techniques like sensory observation, enumeration, and pattern recognition are provided. Deductive reasoning is exemplified through valid syllogisms that proceed from a major premise to a conclusion through a minor premise. The differences between valid, true, and sound arguments are also discussed.

The Emojis strange power Analysis
The document discusses the growing use and cultural impact of emojis. It claims that using emojis allows for enhanced digital communication and relationships by helping express emotion and provide context. Some evidence presented includes how emojis evolved from emoticons to address tone in early online messages. Research also found that expressing a richer array of emotions through communication makes people happier and healthier. However, limitations remain, as emojis cannot replace all words and their meanings depend on context.
Introduction to Inductive and Deductive Reasoning
This document provides an introduction to inductive and deductive reasoning. It defines inductive reasoning as reasoning from specific evidence to form a general conclusion, while deductive reasoning proceeds from general principles to specific conclusions. Several examples of inductive reasoning methods like sensory observation, enumeration, pattern recognition and causal reasoning are provided. Deductive reasoning is defined using syllogisms, which contain a major premise, minor premise and conclusion. The difference between valid, true and sound arguments is also explained using examples of syllogisms.
Evaluating evidence
This document discusses different types of evidence used to support claims, including facts, statistics, surveys, examples, and testimony from experts. It notes that facts and statistics can change over time or be manipulated. Surveys can also contain biases in their wording or context. The document cautions that evidence should be carefully evaluated based on the reputation of its source, whether personal experiences or observations are relevant, and if conclusions drawn from the evidence are warranted.
Climate info graphic
The document provides tips for creating an effective climate change infographic, including:
- Keep the topic narrowly focused on a specific action rather than broad issues like "save the coral reefs".
- Consider the psychological barriers to climate action like uncertainty, distrust, and denial that need to be addressed.
- Choose emotional appeals and frame the information in a way that will compel the intended audience to take the desired action.
- Design the infographic using free online tools and cite credible sources to support the facts and statistics presented.
A closer look
This document discusses the integration of reading programs with campus support programs. It provides background on learning assistance centers (LACs), which began in the 1970s to provide academic support. A LAC aims to improve grades, provide tutoring and resources, refer students to other services, and act as a training center. Effective LACs focus on students' specific learning needs and metacognitive development through academic resources, workshops, and flexible hours. Supplemental instruction utilizes peer-led study groups for historically difficult courses. The Basic Skills Initiative in California provided funding to implement best practices like supplemental instruction and learning communities.
Amusing chapters 3 and 4
Postman argues that print media created a rational public discourse in America for several reasons. [1] Print allowed for long-form speeches and debates that required comprehension of complex ideas. [2] Religious texts encouraged rational theological analysis and reinterpretation of scripture. [3] Lawyers used print to create an ordered, rational system of law. [4] Early advertisements appealed to understanding with long textual arguments rather than emotions. However, Postman concedes that advertisements later incorporated images and slogans to stimulate passions over rational thought. Overall, Postman asserts that print culture fostered conceptual, deductive thinking and objectivity more so than newer electronic media.
