One thing I observed when scrolling through the results of the university slang search is that either I use the word or hear it regularly or I have never heard it before. Examples of these include brewski, beer pong, techie, and frat. The results seemed to be on complete opposite sides of the spectrum with no overlap. Terms that took me a little longer to understand include “communize,” or to combine commons, so as to form a joint meal and “muckerism,” or rowdy, coarse or unsophisticated behavior or attitudes. Another observation I made is that several words were variations of the same concept. One example is skive, or to leave the college campus without permission at the University of Notre Dame, according to the college slang definition in the Oxford English Dictionary. Variations of this include skiver and skiving, which can include the act or those performing the act of shirking off school, work, or other duties. Creativity plays a large part of what I want to be doing with my journalism degree and I love puns and clever portmanteaus, one of my favorite categories in Jeopardy. However, there is a difference between an inventive blend and an awkward fusion. The combination of similar sounds or rhyme created a clever concept. Examples of this include alcoholiday, …show more content…
Rowling for my advanced search. Her name immediately came to mind for this search because of how much she has contributed to pop culture. From books to movies to theme parks, I thought that she would have a lot of impact on language. However, my search only came up with one result. The word “muggle,” meaning a person, who possesses no magical powers, was the sole result. Especially when using the Oxford English Dictionary, I thought that I would have a better outcome. After clicking around, I came up with more of Rowling’s contributions in the quotation section. Words such as "earwiggy" and "deathly" stood out. Although Rowling did not create these words, she did reintroduce
A review of Genetec camera angles 76.58-76.60-76.64-76.71-76.53-76.101 and 76.102 between 0754 hours and 0800 hours captured the following: On May 26, 2017, the institutional search was being conducted in the housing area 15A.

Assonance - Very similar to alliteration, but with vowels or a group of letters involving one
For instance, when Dr. Seuss rhymed in The Lorax, he didn’t create new words to rhyme with authentic words, yet in The Sneetches, he invented new words to rhyme with specific words. For example, in The Sneetches, Dr. Seuss stated, “And it berked, and it bopped them about, but the thing really worked!” Dr. Seuss created the word “berked” to make sure that the flow of the rhyme scheme would be consistent. When he rhymed in The Lorax, he used relevant words and the rhyme scheme stayed persistent. For instance, in The Lorax, Dr. Seuss affirmed, “Don’t knock at his door. He stays in his Lerkim on top of his store. He stays in his Lerkim, cold under the floor, where he makes his own clothes out of miff-muttered moof.” Even though Dr. Seuss devised new words in the story, the abstract words did not rhyme with any other words or phrases. Dr. Suess also cogitated many other aspects of each story, such as the characters.
Words that stand out to me are “Randy roosters and operatic hens”, “true songster”, and “swoops, bleats, echoes, rapidly repeated bebops-I mean rebopped bebops-...”. Most of these words are adjectives. The phrase “Randy” is describing the roosters, operatic is describing the hens, “true songster” is describing Bird, and the last quote is describing what Bird’s music sounded like. The language in these words are general and specific, when talking about the last quote, where Bird’s the sound of music is described.
Another example is “Today, the road all runners come” because of road and runner. Rhyme is similarity of sound between words or the endings of words when used at the end of a line of poetry. The rhyme scheme of “To an Athlete Dying Young” is ABAB. This means that the last word of every two lines rhymes. For example, “So set, before its echoes fade,/The fleet foot on the sill of shade,/And hold to the lintel up/The still-defended challenge cup.” This is an excellent demonstration of the ABAB rhyme scheme because “fade” and “shade” rhymes, as does “up” and “cup.”
The rhyming scheme uses irregular couplets such as “matter” and “chatter” on different lines. This
The article written by ESPN reporter Jemele Hill explores the tumultuous story of Chris Webber and the University of Michigan. Chris Webber was a basketball star in the early nineties at the University of Michigan and was a major contributor to the university reaching the NCAA championship game two years in a roll. After his career at Michigan, allegations were raised and then founded that Webber received thousands of dollars from than booster Ed Martin while attending Michigan. The receiving of these benefits is a violation of NCAA rules per NCAA by-law 12.3.1.2 and 12.1.2.1.6. The NCAA punished Michigan with several sanctions and loss of scholarships, monetarily, and a vacation of several seasons including the school vacating their appearances

Assonance: is the repetition of a vowel sound or diphthong in non-rhyming words (Literary Devices).
Onomatopoeia is a literary device where a word is used to imitate a sound. Some examples where Alice Walker used this technique was
Literature searches were conducted to gain access to published research articles using a number of General databases such as Academic Premiere Search, JSTOR, OneSearch, Web of Science, and WorldCat with variations of wording relating to and then blended to extract materials from leading edge resources with the most recent data. Search details include a number of databases which were browsed, including ERIC for educational resources, PubMed, PMC (U.S. National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health), PsychINFO for psychological information, EBSCO and ProQuest. Search parameters used the words, “Gold Star, parental death to combat, resilience, military children, parental deployment, social emotional learning, Adverse Childhood

At least one or two of the following devices of sound: assonance, consonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia, and other echoic words.
Matching words by rhyme and alliteration: the ability to match spoken words by rhyme or alliteration. Having children participating in activities that use similar words and a different word to find the “odd-man out.” Other activities can include sorting tasks, creating poems, creating songs, or listening to poems or songs.
One of the most recent types of puns is texting pun, challenged by a rapid development of social networks. Alphabetic, numeric, and simplified spelling produce texting puns well. These depend on the increasingly universal tradition of using the sound and/or spelling of alphabet letters, numbers or symbols, or simplified spelling as a way to display or “spell” a word. Cases may be “cre8” for the word "create", or “@mosphere” for "atmosphere". When we spot a texting pun, we immediately try to decipher it, and if we cannot comprehend its meaning, then we quietly “sound it out” in our heads, envisioning how it may sound, and eventually understand the joke.
