    It’s all in the game. Though these words belong to the nefarious Omar Little of HBO’s critically acclaimed “The Wire” and not Plato, they nonetheless remain relevant. If anything, “the game” is akin to Plato’s allegory of the cave and the shadows that it casts. That being said, I will make the argument that anyone who doesn’t play by the rules of the game or tries to alter it, much like the prisoner who sees the light and goes back to aid his fellow prisoners, will be rejected. The only means of

    The segment of The Wire I have chosen to analyze begins at 54:14 in episode 13, season 1 and runs through 103:34, comprising four different locations and eight scenes changes. Two main elements hold these scenes together as a coherent segment—camerawork/editing, particularly at the beginning of each scene, and thematic material. Thematically, each of these scenes exhibits a passing of torches. We see the changes of power that are developing in the police department and on the streets: Lt. Daniels

    Sarah Oliver Presentation Heidegger April 19, 2012 In Lecture I of Part II, Heidegger points out that asking the question of “What is called thinking” can be incredibly diverse and complicated because there is not just one explanation for the question, although at a glance it seems pretty simple to explain. He stresses four ways in which the question can be posed. The first way asks what is designated by the word “thinking,” the second asks what logic has to do with thought, the third asks

    I have chosen to write about my pet peeves. I would like you to know, I don’t ever vent about my life, normally I am actually the therapist of my group of friends, meaning that they usually tell me what’s wrong with them. Considering that, this is a list that is long in the making. I mustn’t hold this in any longer. By the way, If I use the words “you or your” I am not talking to you directly, I’m just talking to a general audience. So, without further ado, my list begins. NUMBER ONE: I loathe it

On the other hand, the “last possible parse” hypothesis would result in separate activation. 2. What other alternative do the experiments test? The experiments showed that none of hypothesis clarified prelexical
