The author does not choose to swear anywhere else in the book, unless she's quoting other people swearing. So, when she swears in this scene, it makes the scene stand out from the rest of the book. She also doesn't quote herself saying something in this scene, instead she tells the reader directly what she said, "I told her to get the fuck off me and chill the fuck out." The swear

Davon Coleman is an interesting player. He has the physical tools to play in the NFL. It’s just he never would take things serious. These last few weeks he’s been having great practices as well as playing good in the game. However he does need to work on developing more pass rushing moves instead of always trying to bull rush an offensive lineman. Coleman will be fighting with Ken Bishop for a roster spot. Jack Crawford maybe listed as a defensive lineman but he really now is a defensive tackle in the three technique behind Tyrone Crawford. Just like last year when the Cowboys moved Tyrone from defensive end to defense tackle position he found his comfort level and started to go beast mode. Jack is doing the same exact thing the coaching staff

It is a common experience: a woman dates a man who is rude to everyone except for her. He makes her feel special, but a few months later, he becomes an abusive, controlling boyfriend. Walter Younger from the play “A Raisin In The Sun” by Lorraine Hansberry, while not an abusive person is a milder example of this phenomenon. He is the father in a large African American family, and lives with his mother, sister, wife, and young son. His father has recently died, and his mother, Lena, receives an enormous check from their life insurance. They need this money, as they live in a small house and need to move to a larger one, but Walter wants to invest the money into opening a liquor store instead.

In the text “Dirk the Protector” by Gary Paulsen the theme is no matter what, one way or another you will find a best friend. For example, in the text it states, “He followed me. Not close about eight feet back.” This shows that since Gary already gave Dirk his hamburger, Dirk thought that Gary would have more food and that maybe if he follows a human life wouldn’t be as rough. Another example from the text is, “I thought I’d probably never see him again

Rosa Hubermann swears,”You filthy pig! Why won’t you get undressed?” (Zusak, 32). At this point, Rosa is displaying her tribulation that Liesel will not take a bath after Liesel has just arrived. This situation has risen to a slight point of hostility. Rosa finds it necessary to use swear words as a way to get Liesel to take a bath. This is a prime example of power imposed by words. Traditionally, swear words display the great displeasure someone might have for someone or something. The choice of using swear words shows the imperative nature of Rosa wanting to achieve a positive outcome, a clean Liesel.

Once there was a crazy homeless man named Fredrick. Fredrick, although homeless, ran a preschool and made a decent amount of money. He just had a personal preference of living in a cardboard box rather than a fancy house with real plumbing. One day, Fredrick had just finished up for the day at his daycare and decided to start heading back to his cardboard box in his brand new lamborghini. While he was driving, he decided to take a different route. He turned left instead of right at an intersection and decided to go on an adventure. After about five minutes, Fredrick came across a bridge. Once he drove on the bridge, something felt different. The atmosphere had changed. It was dark and spooky, with not a single car to be found. He

Mud is a slimy sticky mixture of solid material with a liquid, the most common is soft wet earth. Mud is also known as an abusive and malicious remark or accusation; frequently in the political game, contestants will sling “mud” at each other to damage their opponent’s reputation and gain the favor of supporters. These political contestants may go as far to say “One’s name is mud”, which is used to express a strong dislike for a person implying their reputation is no better than the slimy sticky dirt one walks on. This phrase may have been coined from the story of Dr. Samuel Mudd, the physician that treated John Wilkes Booth’s broken leg after his assassination of President Lincoln, who was convicted of conspiracy and later pardoned after three year served. The events that befell Dr. Mudd are true but his name did not coin the term “one’s name is mud” even though it may be the perfect parable correlating to the expression. The truth behind the phase is that it originates from the Oxford English Dictionary which documented its meaning four decades before the assassination along with a book from Britain, A Dictionary of Turf by John Bee, using the connotation of this expression long before the assassination.

Throughout the history of the United States, there has been many presidents, all of whom treated their individual presidencies differently. Each of them faced different altercations, lived in different times and were different people. However, a similarity amongst presidents is that each of them has one of four personality types as defined by James David Barber: passive-positive, passive-negative, active-positive and active-negative. This personality type defines who they are and how they choose to go about both their lives and their presidency. President Jimmy Carter falls into the category of active-positive, which means that he is someone that works actively towards their goals and enjoys doing so. From the beginning of his life to this
