According to chapter 2, "a cliché is a once-clever word or phrase that has lost its impact through overuse" McLean, Scott (2010). Thereby, although one might try to be specific in this scenario, the tendency of not being taken seriously by the receiver exist thus pose a hindrance to what might have been a successful communication session. For instance,during a recent conversation I had recently with my best buddy over coffee with some other of my closest childhood friends. She had wanted to create a compilation of us her oldest buddies, lip-syncing and dancing to Justin Timberlake's cover version of Micheal Jackson's song 'love never felt so good' and present it for an upcoming birthday of her girlfriend which she had been dating for a while. Although I was all sport about it, I had actually suggested that why don't she just say she loved her. But being the odd duck that she is, my statement was a cliche as not only it might have unintentionally offended her, it does sound as if I had missed the whole whimsical part of it. …show more content…

Like many legendary performers before them, the Jackson 5 gained early recognition on the “chitlin’ circuit”, a loose association of theaters that held around 2,000-3,000 people located in inner-city neighborhoods that stretched from Kansas City to Washington D.C (Sullivan). Despite lacking experience, they would go onto win several amateur talents shows, which would help land them their first record deal with Gordon Keith of Steeltown Records. Most of the time the other acts on the bill were unknowns, but once in a while an established artist would grace the stage the same night as the Jacksons. This arrangement gave the upstarts, especially Michael, an opportunity to learn from the experienced players (Taraborrelli). They opened for and formed great friendships with the Temptations, the O’Jays, Sam & Dave, and Jackie Wilson. These relationships created the start of a valuable network, while also exposing the brothers to the realities of the entertainment world.

In this paragraph, the author is explaining that Mary would be determined to do anything even in the most awkward time and she would lead others with her to do the same. She gives an example comparing her and a bank account, Her family legacy had taught her to see achievement as something that functioned like a bank account meaning that she worked and got her pay and kept it safe and got additional money. Meaning, she would work as much as she could when she had the greatest things. She would put more effort to move forward. Also, Mary Jackson had helped people in future generations.

In 1861, as the American Civil War broke out, Jackson became a drill master for some of the many new recruits in the Confederate Army. On April 27, 1861, Virginia Governor John Letcher ordered Colonel Jackson to take command at Harpers Ferry, where he would assemble and command the famous "Stonewall Brigade", consisting of the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 27th, and 33rd Virginia Infantry regiments. All of these units were from the Shenandoah Valley region of Virginia, where Jackson located his headquarters throughout the first two years of the war. Jackson became known for his relentless drilling of his troops; he believed discipline was vital to success on the battlefield. Jackson rose to prominence and earned his most famous nickname at the First Battle of Bull Run on July 21, 1861.
Secretary of State Melvin Johnson walked up to congratulate them and they were cordial to him since he bit down on his pride and made a heartfelt apology to Jackson for all the pain the State Department caused him, even though he wasn’t in office when it happened. Of course, being a gentleman Jackson accepted the apology graciously and pointed out to the secretary he needed to make the same apology to the other two men, to which he agreed and went off in search of Lt. Carter and Sgt. Blackwater. At that moment, Jackson hoped Chief would be cool and not hit him when he made his apology, he didn’t need to get him out of the Marine Corps stockade this time for hitting the Secretary of State.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s Motown released a new band called the Jackson 5. The band consisted of brothers Jermaine Jackson, Randy Jackson, Tito Jackson, Jackie Jackson, and Michael Jackson. They grew up and started their band in Gary, Indiana. Their father Joe Jackson was their manager, he was a “stern temperamental disciplinarian”. It was also his idea to get his kids into music because one day Joe came home and noticed that the boys where stealing his guitar and playing it without permission. However, he then realized his sons had serious talent, and from that day on he trained them.

Jargon is when a service provider uses technical language the service user may not understand. For example, the doctor may say that a patient needs bloods and an MRI scan. That can sound very frightening to someone who has been rushed in to hospital. It is better if the doctor explains that they need to take some blood to do some simple tests and then explains what a MRI scan is. Understanding the facts can make something seem less scary.
Two hours later, Harry got up from where he’d been kicked back in the co-pilot’s seat and found Jackson walking the perimeter. Before walking up to him in the dark, he tapped the signal on the barrel of his M-16 with his knife and got the return signal back it was okay to approach. Jackson nodded to Harry that he had the watch and disappeared under the net into the pilot’s seat where he drank from his thermos before closing his eyes for a few hours rest.
Preserving. Never stop. Victory. The. These expressions are portrayed through the character, Mr. Jackson, in the text "The First Great American Road Trip".
Nathaniel Jackson is a Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta airport, Delta Baggage ramp supervisor. As my older brother, I have always seen him as a personal mentor and leader, yet never observed him through his career. Throughout my life as I witness him leading others to success, I concluded he would be the best person to interview for this assignment. What he has done in his career has been a motivation to my education at Georgia Southern.
If you're anything like me, there's a sense of accomplishment that comes when you work tenaciously to bring something about, and once you have achieved what many may have doubted, you can just sit back and smile. And that is exactly how I feel about my interview with Cameron Mathison. From the moment I first requested the interview to the moment it happened, it was nearly five months, and there were times I wondered if my continued petitions were more irritating than anything else and would even bring my hopes to fruition. I mean, I actually had the audacity to say I was #TeamNorman and would remain so until I interviewed him! (For the record, that was all a ruse.) Well, as you will see, dogged determination did bring about extraordinary results, and so I now share with you an interview with this kind, considerate, talented man who took the time out of his insanely busy schedule to chat with me.
Your responses were well written and we wrote similar perspectives in the responses. I too chose Minnie Jackson as my favorite character, and concur completely with your statement, ”she’s been through so much and the fact that she continuously tries hard.” This is also a characteristic of Minnie that drew my attention, along with her refusal to tower down to injustice treatment. On question number 3, I don’t think you fully answered the question. You provided an excellent point of view, saying the white ladies are somewhat oblivious to the colored maids working for them, because they have always been around. Although, I do not see how this answer corresponded to genres in the novel defining cultural views. In question six, I was also highly
The racial comments in the story we see when Phoenix encounters the hunter. The hunter makes racial remarks and he acts like he is stronger and more powerful than Phoenix Jackson. When he sees Phoenix he asks, “On your way home” and when Phoenix is making clear she is not, the hunter assumes that she’s going to town to see Santa Claus and calls her Granny, “I know you old colored people! Wouldn’t miss going to town to see Santa Claus” (145). The hunter makes a remark to her race and because Phoenix is an old African-American woman he assumes that she is going to see Santa Claus. What makes the hunter stronger is that he has a gun and in the bag, he had bob-whites that were hanging out. He made it obvious that he is more powerful than her. The hunter is not the only person that makes remarks to her race. When Phoenix arrived in the town her shoe laces were untied, and she ask a nice lady that was selling perfume to tie her laces. The lady was acting cold with Phoenix, she kept calling Phoenix “Grandma”, “What do you want, Grandma?”, “Stand still then, Grandma” (147). She did tie her shoe laces but her acting cold and strong to Phoenix makes us think that she didn’t like Phoenix asking her to tie her shoe laces. The comments about her race continuous in the doctor’s office. When Phoenix finally arrives the doctor’s office, she sees a diploma. Diploma has a great meaning in the story. The diploma symbolizes freedom and education. Kevin Moberly states that “The diploma, take on
