symptoms of said illness include paleness, namelessness, and an impaired sense of right from wrong. An incubator for lifelessness, Wall Street is capable of stripping away the elements of life that give people a unique sense of color in their lives. One’s name, family, and personal life are the first things to go when one is infected with Wall Street’s illness. The narrator has surpassed this phase and reached the point in which his sense of conscience has begun to abandon him. Presumably, the next phase
LDA #5 Imagery: The literary term used to describe certain descriptions that stimulate one or more of the five senses, which include smell, sight, taste, touch, and hearing. In many cases, imagery is built off other literary devices. One example of imagery includes: “the air smelled of spring, with hints of honey on the blossoming flowers.” In this description of the outdoors, the sense of smell and sight are stimulated with phrases like, “hints of honey,” or “blossoming flowers.” Example: “I
floppety flip flops and talking.I could sense all the good restruants that people were eating food at.I was holding all the plasticy sacks they felt like they were about to break my fingers because they were so heavy.I could see all the people standing and waiting till we were done.

experiences gained either by observations or experiments. The other problem is sensation, due to the fact that we cannot be certain whether what we perceive is a precise representation of what it really is, so we would have to compare it with our other senses or experiences. The last problem is theory-ladenness, seeing that we can’t really experience anything without having accepted a certain theory beforehand; for example, for us to accept what a place looks like from only an image, we’d have to believe
Carolina rapper J. Cole’s follow up to 2013’s Born Sinner rejects featuring collaborations, producing his most intimate and elaborate album yet, that made me reminisce about the classic Cole sound, though parts of this album suggest he has developed his sense of versatility by adapting his signature sound into a more complex and diverse mixture of upright front tones and technically produced backbeats, while incorporating his signature hard-hitting lyrics, proving his ingenuity in the production of his
which aims to transform one for the better. Likewise this concept is significantly portrayed in the road not taken, demonstrated in ‘the lines “ I shall be telling this with a sigh” the first person narration indicates a change in tone, displaying a sense of regret in which discoveries can introduce as a result of ones choices in embarking a discovery in which shifts ones perceptions on themselves and the wider world hence transforming them.

to, but this explanation is most widely favored amongst most philosophers. Despite its favorability, this explanation leads to another question waiting to be fulfilled. The question being, that if all the information one receives is through their senses, how does one know if they are accurate? Thanks
The topic of touch is approached with many different perspectives. Phillip’s psychoanalytic point of view is that tickling is a common interaction between a child and their parent and that it is an acceptable sensual experience for them. Howes and Classen discuss how tactile relationships between children and their parents went from being acceptable to rare and then back to being a norm. In the scientific perspective, Montagu argues that the touch of a mother early on in a child’s life has a major
Odors are a distinctive smell, especially an un unpleasant one. Odors attach to receptors of olfactory cells in the nasal mucosa. Olfactory cells in the nasal mucosa are where they activate nerve signals. These signals are processed in the olfactory bulb, a structure at the base of the forebrain that transmit the signal to other brain areas. People have about 450 olfactory receptors. Each receptor can be activated by many different odor molecules, and each odor molecule can activate several different
Have you ever felt like someone is watching you even when nobody is looking at you? That feeling is wired into our system by our ancestors. They had to know their surroundings while they were hunting or exploring in the wilderness. Our body will even make it feel like someone is watching us even when there isn’t someone there. This feeling of someone looking at you is called Gaze Perception. When you catch someone looking at you, is it because your brain sensed they were looking, or did you look
