Joseph is a redshirt senior who has appeared in 41 games for UConn, while registering 260 total tackles and 11.5 tackles for loss. Joseph is the leader of the defense and is responsible for lining of the linemen and linebackers. Joseph is active in run defense and has the ability to cover some tight ends and slower running backs. Joseph does not posses elite athleticism, which has turned into an essential trait for inside linebackers to succeed in the NFL today.

Joseph will get a chance at the next level, but I believe there are stronger candidates for the 2018 Senior Bowl due to Joseph’s lack of athleticism.

Thornburgh used the term “overheated rhetoric” to describe the way that the immigration and other crimes were being exhibited throughout the media. He used the word overheated to bring an emotional appeal to the audience and pulls them into learn more about the hot topics in the media, also to make these crimes seem worse than they actually were.

Citizens have been misled to think alike to change the way of society and the world. A more familiar example to many would be the influence artifice had in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union back in World War Two and other wars before that. Unfortunate citizens have been exposed to the power of artifice by tyrants to keep the war effort going. Propaganda was used in almost every nation undergoing war. The United States have also taken part in this to help resist despicable nations from rising. The effects afterwards were shown to be drastic. It’s obvious to see the effects the second world war has done to society. Hate groups grow like tumors in the general public, families have been torn apart, and nations can not be seen the same way as before. The use of artifice has changed the way we live our lives today, it just goes to show that it can be proven to be a very vital skill to wield. Some would hope that this was only a thing of the past and that it would not be a part of our lives. Unfortunately, this skill did not disappear over the years, but instead it has only begun to blossom into our present

They could hear Derrian's cries, but saw no sign of him. "Then," Alex says, "I looked down." What she saw was a nightmare: The stroller, blown by the wind, was lying on the tracks, about four

Everybody makes stupid mistakes that could have been prevented, but nobody in this world is close to perfect and will never be perfect. Good can actually come from making mistakes, by doing something wrong you are corrected and shown how to fix it by someone who has already made your mistake. Growing up I have made plenty of terrible decisions that lead to consequences in the end. Also, I have seen many of my close friends and family make mistakes that got them into trouble, but afterwards they learned a valuable lesson.
