"Victorious?" (6)

Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" could be examined in more than one way. The first time someone might hear the song, they may think that Jeremy killed his enemies. Then the first time someone might watch the music video for the controversial song, they may think it was an action that was undecided. Many people believe the song may have influenced some of the school violence that happened after the song was released.

The speaker is trying to say that even though you are having fun making fun of someone else, it is hurting him or her more inside. If someone is not paid attention to by their loved ones, it can hurt them more inside too. It could hurt them so much that it could make them violent. The antecedent would be everyone one pushing him to the edge by hurting him. The consequence would be the violence he resorted to. "Jeremy" appeals to pathos. It has a lot of emotion in it. "Jeremy" is evaluation. The bully, the speaker, places blame on himself and Jeremy's parents.

Actions could speak louder than words. Jeremy's action of either killing his enemies or committing suicide definitely spoke louder than anyone could have spoken.

My Imperfections (5)

Throughout my years of attempting to write an interesting essay or story, I feel as if I have failed to do so. My weakness in writing is making it interesting. I don’t know how to make something interesting to where people would want to read it. I also know I need to stop using “in my opinion” or “your” or “you” or anything like that. Another thing I am aware that I need to do is explaining myself better. Just because I know what I want to say doesn’t mean someone else does. I am sure there are many more flaws in my writing but those are just a few.

Intelligence.? (4)

According to Mr. Webster, he classifies intelligence as the ability to learn or understand from experience. He also puts it as the ability to acquire and retain knowledge. There are a couple ways to tell if someone has intelligence or not. One way is talking to them. When you are talking to them about something and they fluently keep a conversation going about it, then I would say they have intellect. The main way that I tell if someone is intelligent is by the way they present themselves. Someone’s actions could define his or her intelligence. If they are doing something just out-of-this-world crazy, then he or she probably isn’t the brightest crayon in the box. Actions speak louder than words most of the time.

The Knowledge of Truth and Belief (3)

Truth? Knowledge? Belief? What are these things? Why do they all coincide with each other? Let’s look a little bit deeper! Truth is an idea or concept that is true OR accepted to be true. Knowledge is what someone knows. Belief is what you believe in or you could also put it as faith. So what do these have in common? You start with your knowledge. Most of the things that you know are true. That’s truth. Then off of knowledge and truth you get belief. This is so because most of the things that you were taught were true. You base your beliefs on what you know are true.
