Despite having these diplomas for many trades, he still cannot get a job due to his record. https://nowcomment.com/documents/262545?scroll_to=2374875 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262545?scroll_to=2374875 Thu, 11 Mar 2021 09:46:21 -0500 Skloot uses a heavy amount of short paragraphs of dialogue to the story when she met Zakariyya, the youngest of Henrietta's children. https://nowcomment.com/documents/262545?scroll_to=2374871 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262545?scroll_to=2374871 Thu, 11 Mar 2021 09:44:06 -0500 Author builds credibility by revealing how he has done much in the area, and has written four books on the subject. https://nowcomment.com/documents/262093?scroll_to=2364177 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262093?scroll_to=2364177 Thu, 04 Mar 2021 00:47:59 -0500 Statistics used to build up credibility https://nowcomment.com/documents/262093?scroll_to=2364176 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262093?scroll_to=2364176 Thu, 04 Mar 2021 00:47:14 -0500 Objections: Using the land is necessary for helping the local economy around Bears Ears, since it supplies jobs for those who live near there. https://nowcomment.com/documents/262093?scroll_to=2364175 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262093?scroll_to=2364175 There is also a fear that, with every shift in the White House from red to blue, the land will be reduced or restored, which can cause some bureaucratic issues. There is also another objection that Biden should cooperate with the State of Utah to work out what to do with Bears Ears. Thu, 04 Mar 2021 00:46:45 -0500 Here, the author shows a possible solution to the political limbo that President Trump placed upon Bears Ears: With Biden, and his Secretary for Interior Security Pick, Deb Haaland, will restore the monument. https://nowcomment.com/documents/262093?scroll_to=2364174 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262093?scroll_to=2364174 This solution may not be cost effective, since it may require the companies to tear down camp and move out, and have the workers lose their jobs at that site, however this issue is more about the morality of downsizing the land and the push against resource exploitation. Thu, 04 Mar 2021 00:44:02 -0500 Here, the author addresses the problem of this story: Whether its land should be preserved for culture, or used for profit. https://nowcomment.com/documents/262093?scroll_to=2364172 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262093?scroll_to=2364172 The author convinces the reader that the issue is serious by showing how much of Bears Ears was cut, and how it affected Native Americans. Mon, 31 Oct 2022 05:43:22 -0400 Skloot writes of the imagery of the trailer store, and how worn down it is, yet still functional, along with the caring character of Ms. Speed. https://nowcomment.com/documents/258737?scroll_to=2348156 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258737?scroll_to=2348156 Tue, 23 Feb 2021 07:52:38 -0500 Rebecca Skloot preserves the speech of those she interviews by writing in phonetic dialect. https://nowcomment.com/documents/258737?scroll_to=2348155 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258737?scroll_to=2348155 Tue, 23 Feb 2021 07:49:39 -0500 In this paragraph, Skloot has a moment of Deja vu, reading this article from over 20 years ago, yet seemingly being in the exact same location and situation as the author Michael Rogers. https://nowcomment.com/documents/258737?scroll_to=2348154 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258737?scroll_to=2348154 Tue, 23 Feb 2021 07:46:41 -0500 While perhaps there was no mentioning of a biopsy in this consent form, biopsies are so frequently used in this field that its standard for research. https://nowcomment.com/documents/254672?scroll_to=2342849 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254672?scroll_to=2342849 Should Gey and Telinde have been more transparent? Sure, especially after the fact, but they had the right to do so based on the protocols of the time that still carry on today to some extent. Fri, 19 Feb 2021 11:20:52 -0500 This establishes Jain's drive to investigate and end virtual distortion, seeing how it had affected his family. https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2316458 https://nowcomment.com/documents/254753?scroll_to=2316458 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 11:27:15 -0500 It likely won't make any change immediately. However, with enough support, those members of Congress should certainly begin swaying their opinion, if not lose their seat to those who will fight for their constituents. https://nowcomment.com/documents/162148?scroll_to=2316421 https://nowcomment.com/documents/162148?scroll_to=2316421 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 11:21:05 -0500 Perhaps one day, this policy, or others like it, will be extended to all of the United States, so that we can begin converting landfills and other such areas to be green energy powerhouses. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253915?scroll_to=2316355 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253915?scroll_to=2316355 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 11:15:18 -0500 Here the author shows credibility in their claim through the use of facts and statistics on Utah air pollution. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253918?scroll_to=2308391 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253918?scroll_to=2308391 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 11:29:03 -0500 Here the author answers the question of "So what?" by showing how our cities often hold some of the worst winter air pollution in the country, which is a serious issue that needs fixing. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253918?scroll_to=2308387 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253918?scroll_to=2308387 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 11:28:25 -0500 This here is a possible solution to help combat the issue, making more energy efficient homes, which will make energy bills way cheaper, certainly feasible since there are some homes already made, etc. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253918?scroll_to=2308293 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253918?scroll_to=2308293 Other solutions could be to renovate your own home to install more energy efficient water heaters, tools, and more. Tue, 02 Feb 2021 11:26:04 -0500 This here is the problem, where homes and small businesses will soon become the largest producer of pollution in Utah, even more than industrial plants or vehicles. The author does note its seriousness. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253918?scroll_to=2308257 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253918?scroll_to=2308257 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 11:24:14 -0500 Another point of Biden's, where the past will not bog us down, and that, in this new administration, the problems that still plague us will be dealt with, as will any problems that we will inevitably face. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292523 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292523 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 10:36:53 -0500 Repetition/Parallel Structure https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292498 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292498 Here, Biden says "Les us listen to one another, hear one another, see one another, show respect to one another." He uses repetition and parallel structure of "x-one another" to hammer home the point that America can only be rebuilt when everyone is united and together, helping each other both on the individual level, as well as the whole nation. Tue, 26 Jan 2021 10:33:05 -0500 Here, Biden makes an allusion to the Pledge of Allegiance, "one nation, under God, indivisible," which is something that near every American universally knows, to add that level of familiarity when it comes to the tradition of peaceful transfer. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292458 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250437?scroll_to=2292458 Tue, 26 Jan 2021 13:59:58 -0500 I also see it as a generational/cultural shift in America, seeing how JFK was quite young for a president, and how a renewal and change will come through the people as well as from the White House. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285148 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285148 Fri, 22 Jan 2021 11:17:25 -0500 Here, Kennedy shows his character as a spearhead of a new generation of Americans, a youthful vigor that will propel America out from the dark times they were brought up in, and into a new world of liberty, equality and justice. https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285075 https://nowcomment.com/documents/250955?scroll_to=2285075 Fri, 22 Jan 2021 11:11:24 -0500 Thesis https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2269951 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2269951 This is where the thesis is most explicitly written. Black Panther is unique among its blockbuster counterparts because of its social commentary, especially on racial issues and the "us vs them" mentality. Mon, 11 Jan 2021 22:33:37 -0500 Word Choice and Tone https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2269950 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2269950 The word choice here, saying how other Marvel stories seem to fail and be forgettable and overinflated when there are many moving parts, yet in Black Panther, it works well, bringing up this enchanted tone that, where other movies fail, Black Panther brings a new jolt of energy that is rarely seen anymore. Mon, 11 Jan 2021 22:30:58 -0500 Structure https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2269949 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2269949 I noticed that this review's central claim is not about whether people should or should not watch this movie, which was unique. However, this left the review somewhat disjointed, as others have mentioned. Mon, 11 Jan 2021 22:19:53 -0500 Evidence for claim, where the movie uses familiar tropes and twists it into social commentary that is both unique and enjoyable. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2269948 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2269948 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 22:16:04 -0500 This here is the central claim of the review, that not only is this movie a jolt of an experience, but that it is different than other blockbusters. https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2265969 https://nowcomment.com/documents/248273?scroll_to=2265969 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 11:25:15 -0500 Remembering March, when lockdowns were first happening, seeing all the news of Italy and Iran, followed soon by New York the next month, was quite saddening, while videos of cities sounding with claps, pots and pans, and cheering cheered me up. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257998 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257998 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 10:52:06 -0500 Things like this that made so many headlines to help feed into the whole apocalyptic feeling that many overhyped is somewhat strange to me, especially how they eventually got brushed over due to other news. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257947 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257947 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 10:45:42 -0500 As was mentioned in the opening bit, images like this showed what would soon come over the world as COVID surged. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257912 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2257912 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 10:42:20 -0500 Example of Irony https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220573 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220573 Contrast of how much he hates imperialism, while also hating the Burmese people. Tue, 01 Dec 2020 11:16:28 -0500 Example of Selection of Detail https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220421 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220421 Naming the gun, showing how obsolete it is when it comes to an elephant. Tue, 01 Dec 2020 11:12:54 -0500 Example of Voice and Tone https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220377 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220377 Such grim words, showing a tone of disgust Tue, 01 Dec 2020 11:09:55 -0500 Example of Diction, "Chucked" https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220367 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220367 The word "Chucked" shows a sense of revulsion towards his job, and that he would toss it in a heart beat. Tue, 01 Dec 2020 11:10:26 -0500 The simplification of language, with rendering a whole plethora of words with roughly the same, or opposite, meanings, will be shortened down to a few, if not just one. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243212?scroll_to=2213021 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243212?scroll_to=2213021 This control will make any "thoughtcrime" or "doublethink" impossible, and the Party will have complete control over the people, by eliminating the ability to dissent. Tue, 24 Nov 2020 14:20:12 -0500 This is the point the author makes in the article; leave the graves alone. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235892?scroll_to=2136737 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235892?scroll_to=2136737 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 10:53:30 -0400 This shows that, even then, there were protests to Confederate War Memorials, although one of its critics was the Daughters of the Confederacy, funnily enough. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235892?scroll_to=2136704 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235892?scroll_to=2136704 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 10:51:04 -0400 This point shows that, to an extent, those against the removal of monuments were right. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235892?scroll_to=2136701 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235892?scroll_to=2136701 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 10:49:04 -0400 The affects of new technology in our generation are quite pronounced, but one cannot forget the positives to access of limitless information. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131023 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2131023 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 11:12:34 -0400 I feel that the use of social media has, for the most part, changed since its creation. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130990 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130990 Nowadays, I more use social media to plan on when we'll actually meet in person, or do activities online together when we can't meet in person. Back then, social media felt much more bare-bones, and simply "post your life," or whatever. Tue, 13 Oct 2020 14:42:04 -0400 It's not just the Digital Age that has caused these trends. https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130945 https://nowcomment.com/documents/235254?scroll_to=2130945 I do agree that the introduction of the iPhone and social media have made a great impact on our lives, I do believe that it's not the advent of the new Digital Age alone that causes these trends of psycological issues, depression and suicide.
