Summary Of God's Acres By David Jurkiewicz

"Death's Acre" revisits the legendary career of a real-life forensic hero, Dr. Bill Bass. He created the famous "Body Farm" at the University of Tennessee, which is the world's only research facility devoted to studying postmortem human decomposition. The study, hard work, and research data gathered at the Body Farm has helped Bass and many other forensic scientists and police solve many gruesome murders and put away some particularly brutal, scary killers. The book is structured mostly around these criminal cases, which give it a gritty true-crime feel, but it also sinks into Dr. Bass's own life, and expresses

Various writing professionals have various takes on the use of clichés. In the two novels, On Writing Well by William Zinsser and Woe is I by Patricia T. O’Conner, the two authors express different ideas towards clichés. Zinsser holds the belief that fresh, new phrases are always better than a cliché. He states that “You must fight these phrases or you'll sound like every hack” (Zinsser 33). His strong point of view admonishes the use of clichés and points them out as unacceptable. He argues for the respect of words and the use of new phrases that express ideas better than the tired phrases we are familiar with. O’Conner however, has a more liberal stance: she argues that clichés are like condiments that are familiar and useful at times. She does not advocate for the use of all clichés but just for the ones that “sound expressive and lively and nothing else will do” (O’Conner 168). These varying viewpoints display that professional writers may think differently about the use of clichés, but most of the time, there is a better way to express your ideas than using a

Currently, a plethora of outstanding stories have been written. What makes a story, though? The answer is the elements that the author includes into his or her writing, such as symbolism and imagery. "Hills like White Elephants," written by Ernest Hemingway, and "A Good Man is Hard to Find," written by Flannery O'Connor, are just two examples of admirable work. Each writer incorporated plenty of elements to improve the story. Since the amount of elements is limited, these two writers exploited several of the same ones. Although the stories have numerous resemblances, they are also remarkably different.

Due to a storm, the boat had been rocked back and forth, and the rhythm of this rocking was still very prevalent in his mind. Overcome by the rhythm, he got out some paper and penned “And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street”, under the name “Dr. Seuss”. Seuss, obviously proud of what he had done, attempted to get his book published – 27 letters of rejection came in from 27 companies telling him that his work was much too unconventional for children to understand and relate to and all that mish-mash, and it was the 28th company that dared to publish his work. That risk certainly paid off for them… and the rest, as they say, is history. Writing all of this, I have just thought of a question to explore: Many authors publish many books for many different reasons… to put them all into a very big nutshell, however, you can see them all in two different groups: Firstly, there are those who publish for money and fame, churning out one book after another in an attempt to capitalize/attract audience – although some people might argue this, current “big-name” authors like Tom Clancy and Michael Crichton fit into this category. Secondly, there are authors who publish for the thrill of creativity and writing, for the art rather than the

While some may agree that it is not appropriate to keep selling and buying a newspaper every few months, using several different strategies and laying off employees that are essential to the newspaper in order to keep it alive has certainly not work in the past years. The price tag keeps falling every year, while, the amount of money needed to keep publishing daily editions increases. Currently, the newspaper does not have the capacity to investigate and report all the potential news in the City of Philadelphia as the number of staff has immensely decreased in the last several years. Subsequently, there are numerous local business owners in Philadelphia that are fighting to find a solution to the problem. The Philadelphia Inquirer has been in existence for almost185 years. The paper was a key source of news during the Civil War, the Great Depression, World War I and II, shutting down the Inquirer will end a key role in the evolution of the American

Stephen King is perhaps the most widely known American writer of his generation, yet his distinctions include publishing as two authors at once: Beginning in 1966, he wrote novels that were published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. When twelve, he began submitting stories for sale. At first ignored and then scorned by mainstream critics, by the late 1980’s his novels were reviewed regularly in The New York Times Book Review, with increasing favor. Beginning in 1987, most of his novels were main selections of the Book-of-the-Month Club, which in 1989 created the Stephen King Library, committed to keeping King’s novels “in print in hardcover.” King published more than one hundred short stories (including the collections Night Shift,

Over the years, YouTubers have become more prominent to the media, from simply starting YouTube channels to making movies, being on award shows, and getting involved in other big projects. Writing became one of these projects, and the trend of YouTubers becoming authors continues with more books set to be released this month. Although there are mixed reactions about this with some people claiming “these YouTube authors are ruining the publishing industry”, many people, especially fans, have been supportive. “I don’t particularly buy any of the books,” stated Senior Krissy Mercado, “but I do enjoy the excitement caused from them.” A variety of books from YouTubers have already been released earlier this year such as the New York Times’ bestseller,

Problem Statement: The advent of internet brought about both challenges and opportunities for the newspaper industry. On one hand, it required redesigning a new product suited for online customers and on the other it was an opportunity to reach to 123 million potential customers in this category. Thus to keep up with the pace of emerging digitization in every field, like all newspapers, New York Times also added online reading in their product portfolio. However it only worsened the crisis the newspaper was already going through. The operating profit declined by more than 76% from 234Mn$ in 2010 to a mere 57Mn$ in 2011. The circulations were steadily declining and the new online advertising could not compensate for print advertising

Scott Momaday published close to thirty books in his career as a writer, in which he published one on the year of 2016, and all of them have had no problem selling. For nearly fifty years this man has been writing novels, and he is still successful over all this change we have had over these fifty years. an eighty-one year old man writing books and novels since he was a thirty-five year old. As much as literature and everything has changed, he is still one of the top writers it in this day in age. (Poets)

Opportunity is the key word for the newspaper industry right now. According to experts, neither digital advertisement revenues nor paywall subscriptions are the answer. Innovation needs to be present in order to define the future of the industry. For example, some added value needs to be present to merit the payment for content that was previously free or can be found using numerous substitute products free of charge.

With the decreasing market, the profitability of newspaper industry is declining. Newspaper revenues came from two sources: advertising and circulation representing approximately 80% and 20% of revenue, respectively. But between 2000 and 2010, annual

Over the last ten years there has been a significant reduction in the total number of newspaper copies circulated in the United States. The total number of newspaper copies circulated, both daily and Sunday in 2000 was 115,194,000. By 2008 this number had dipped significantly to 97,712,000. By the end of 2010 the total number of copies circulated was 43.4 million. Simultaneously, advertising revenues have also steadily declined over the years. Advertising revenues have dipped from $48,670 billion in 2000 to $24,821 billion in 2009. 2010 was relatively calm compared to the hair-raising dips in revenue of 2008 and 2009. Advertising revenues for 2010 dropped roughly 6.3 percent, to $22.8 billion. That was relatively low compared to the 26 percent drop in 2009. With the losses of the three previous years newspaper advertising is down roughly 48 percent, nearly half of what is was five years ago. Expenses continue to climb, especially for news print, where the price is running 20 to 30 percent higher than it was a year ago. Earlier rounds of staff cuts and savings from outsourcing have cycled
