Summary Of The Blitzboomer's Poem

Though positive ideologies are associated with Sweden, 1868-1893 was a terribly rough time in Sweden’s history. Famine, economic hardship, and political unrest plagued the country. Through all the famine and turmoil, the Lindmark’s survived because they

While walking nearly to the edge of the village I noticed something extraordinary, there was an astonishing man. He turned to face me, and started walking towards me. The man had some dissimilar characteristics. I felt as if I was going to be in jeopardy, I could not

Today Denmark is one of the most prosperous countries in the world. Unemployment rates are low. Denmark also has low inflation and a surplus on both balance of payments and public expenditure. The World Economic Forum’s 2008 competitiveness index ranks Denmark in its Top Three world-wide. And the World Transparency Index ranks it as the world champion in non-corruption. Furthermore it should be noted that other international comparisons nominate the Danes as the happiest people in the world! Denmark’s success is so impressive.

Denmark is in a state of chaos shown by the opening death of the true

If there are people we disagree with, we can find common ground and build there. We can do this by, “Taking the other to lunch can greatly elevate conversation. Agree on some ground rules, don’t persuade,defend, or interrupt” says Elizabeth Lesser, author and co-founder of a large adult education center focusing on health (Video 1). This statement demonstrates how listening and understnding can take you further in a conversation to gain depth. As US Republicans and Democrats disagree on how we should treat refugees, these politicians can use polite debate tactics to find common ground on this

Because truth contains the power to bring our nation together, prosperity to our citizens, and purpose to our role as a nation, I seek to let it be my guide in policy. As I compete in Congressional Debate, I draft legislation that knows no party, with policy that adjusts to the current geopolitical landscape. True conservatism is not exhaustive conservative policy. True conservatism responds to the voice of the nation at that time. One day after debate, one of my opponents commended me for flexibility and thoughtfulness in debate. That commendation means more to me than any first place award. Participating in Congressional Debate is one of the most fulfilling parts of my life. In the debate chamber, I speak not for points or awards, but to guide people to truth. I speak not always to persuade or convince, but to share perspectives that create the kind of dynamic existence President Coolidge achieved in his life, constant examination of policy for his constituents. My desire is that my speeches do not fool others into supporting one policy over another. My desire is to share policy options, only for the most effective to be chosen at the end of the round. This is not always the policy on which behalf I spoke – dynamic

Politicians are considered by most people to be slick talkers and this is said rightly so because of their uses of rhetorical devices that they “used primarily to give a statement a positive or negative slant regarding a subject, they are sometimes called slanters” (Moore and Parker, 2007, p. 118). They are, known for their use of rhetorical analogy, by “likening one thing to another thing in order to convey a negative— or positive—feeling about it…” (Moore and Parker, 2007, p. 120). Then, the one of them that can promise the most change or the best benefits in their political debate may win but once when in office, they do the opposite of what they promised. They also use the ad hominem fallacy as a tactic to win voters over on their side by attacking there opponent’s character as well as their reputation and their motives. For these reasons politicians are, stereotyped because of the long

the monster; he seemed to jeer, as with his fiendish finger he pointed towards the corpse of my dead

A screech came from behind me, so loud that it was almost deafening. The grinding and whirring sound invading my ears as I spun around to be met with something beyond my imagination. The dark eyes enclosing around me as I stood there for, taking in the dangerous depths of the monster. The claws gashed around at great speed, slicing the air in half.

He ducked as I slid my sword across the air. The magnificent beast I was welding was begging to slice into someone and drink their iron rich blood. The Willowan man is twice the size of me and much stronger, but I am much more fast and nimble. He attacks me, aiming for me left side. I step aside and slash my sword through his last rib. His face turns blank and he falls to his knees. As I walk away I hear his blood gurgle in his mouth. He was wrong to think that he could possibly beat me.

Denmark is a land wreaked by unnatural turmoil. From the opening scene we can infer that “something is rotten in the state of Denmark”. Throughout the play Shakespeare gives us insight into the inner rottenness of

Oh man where do I start, so after what happened last night I’m sure a lot of us have mixed feelings I’m personally surprised and worried. I didn’t even consider Trump actually winning I figured Hillary had this one in the bag after the Access Hollywood tape. I didn’t care for either of the candidates but I saw Hillary as the lesser of two evils but unfortunately most of America disagreed with me. Now that the election is over I must say that I’m concerned with the direction that our country is going to take when trump takes office and the things he is going to undo. No matter what though thankfully the world isn’t going to end the sun will continue to raise no matter who is in charge of this country but I still I’m very worried about the safety and wellbeing of the people of

Sweden is sitting in a blue chair in his living room in Stockholm, he received the news from Iceland well over an hour ago. Yet, he still can't make himself stand up. He just stares down at his hands and lets out slow, shaky breathes. He is trying to figure out what has just happened. He never would have been too surprised to find out a country has committed suicide, what will all the wars and everything else, but Denmark? He couldn’t even begin to think why.

Traveling across the sea, far to the North east, one could be introduced to the vast snow tipped mountains and pristine blue lakes of Norway. A country famous for its beautiful forests, mountain ski slopes, fjords, its friendly and accepting people, and beer. Here, in this, close to nature mountainous country we find a peaceful alternative to America’s bustling politics and war time issues. Despite their chilly and snow encrusted habitat, the people of Norway are amongst the friendliest, warmest people on Earth. Not only that but, their happy, truly happy, with their homes, their jobs, their communities, and their government. So the question is, why? Why is a country ruled under a matriarch, compared to America’s superior democracy, flourishing so vividly while the citizens of America are groaning and moaning about all the different inconveniences that their government has provided? There are many factors that could contribute to this, such as the ‘suck it up and get on with it’ Norwegian mentality, but to be truthful, Norway just treats its citizens better than the U.S.A. Now most Americans would instantly

When faced with the countless problems of war including death, disease, sorrow, and loss, soldiers develop and intense bond between one another as they seek support in one another. A brotherhood is formed among these soldiers who rely on one another for protection and companionship amid a time in their lives where they are faced with the constant threat of death and violence everyday of their lives. But what happens to them after the war? In After the War, poet brings awareness to how the war-torn soldier attempts to reestablish their self in a society they have been isolated from for so many years through use of free verse and repetitive phrases, which further reinforces the theme throughout the poem.
