73. TEENAGE ACNE - DEFINITION ESSAY

http://www.learnoutloud.com/podcaststream/listen.php?url=http://www.dummies.com/podcast/dummiespodcasts/29DummiesPodcasts.mp3&all=0&title=Episode%2029:%20Teenage%20Acne%20and%20How%20to%20Deal%20with%20It

LISTEN TO THIS 10 MINUTE PODCAST AND WRITE A DEFINITION ESSAY

Definition:

Examples: A definition essay may try and define . . .

* the meaning of an abstract concept, like love;

* the true meaning and importance of honesty;

* how the meaning of family goes deeper than just your blood relatives.

A definition essay attempts to define a specific term. It could try to pin down the meaning of a specific word, or define an abstract concept. The analysis goes deeper than a simple dictionary definition; it should attempt to explain why the term is defined as such. It could define the term directly, giving no information other than the explanation of the term. Or, it could imply the definition of the term, telling a story that requires the reader to infer the meaning.

72. BOOK REVIEW

Writing A Book Review

Purpose
The purpose of a book review is to help other people decide whether or not they want to read a book. You do this by summarizing the book and by evaluating how well the writer wrote the book. The book review can explain the positive aspects of the book, the negative aspects of the book, or both.

Length
Book reviews can be any length. Some book reviews are only one or two paragraphs. Others are several pages. The length of the review will depend on who your audience is. If the audience is your teacher, ask her/him about the length.

Style and Content
The style and content of your book review can also vary depending on your audience (who you are writing for). For example, if your book was a factual book about how deafness affects children's learning styles, you would write differently for different audiences. If you are writing for new parents of deaf children, you might provide a very detailed explanation of the subject matter; if you were writing for teachers of deaf children, you could provide less detail because you would assume that they already have a good understanding of the topic.

The content of your book review will vary depending on whether the book is fiction or non-fiction. For example, if you are writing a book review about a work of fiction, you should probably analyze the book’s characters, plot, setting, and theme. If you are writing about a non-fiction book, you will need to evaluate how useful, correct, and well-presented the book's information is.

Format
Book reviews should be formatted like an essay. This means that you need to write an essay with an introduction, body and conclusion.

The introductory paragraph of a book review usually includes . . .

• the main idea for a non-fiction book or the theme for fiction;
• identify the author, the title of the book and publisher ( some teachers prefer the book information at the top of the paper using an APA/MLA citation);
• author’s background (this is optional);
• your thesis (your opinion why other people should read the book).

The body of your essay must include . . .

• your summary of the main points of the book;
• your evaluation of the book where you explain to your reader why they should read the book or not.

The conclusion of your essay . . .

• should remind your reader of your thesis.
• may also review the main points of your essay.

---

Sample Outline for a Book Review

I. Introductory Paragraph

A. Identify the title, the author and the publisher of the book. (This information can be placed at the top of the paper using APA or MLA reference citation instead of in the introductory paragraph.)

B. Summarize the main idea/theme of the book you are reviewing in one or two sentences.

C. Write your thesis (what you think of the book).

1. Example: I loved the book but I had some problems with it.

2. Example: I thought the book has useful information for parents of deaf children.

II. Body Paragraphs

A. Summarize the important points of the book (This can be one or several paragraphs depending on your audience/teacher’s directions.)

1. Use quotes or paraphrases from the book to prove your points.

B. Evaluate (This can be one or several paragraphs depending on your audience/ teacher’s directions.)

1. Explain the writer’s purpose for writing the book. Give your opinion on whether the writer achieved her/his purpose in writing the book.

2. Criticize/praise the book

a. Explain to your audience if you thought the book was entertaining or boring, has good characters or unrealistic characters, has thorough information or inadequate information.

b. Use quotes or paraphrases from the book to prove your points.

III. Conclusion

A. Review the main points of your argument.

B. Remind the reader of your thesis (whether or not you thought the book was good).

71. Compare & Contrast Essay

Read this article and then write a compare and contrast essay telling me the difference and similarities to life today.

Click on this picture to open in a new window and read the article.

Compare/Contrast:

Examples:A compare/contrast essay may discuss . . .

* the likenesses and differences between two places, like New York City and Los Angeles;

* the similarities and differences between two religions, like Christianity and Judaism;

* two people, like my brother and myself.

The compare/contrast essay discusses the similarities and differences between two things, people, concepts, places, etc. The essay could be an unbiased discussion, or an attempt to convince the reader of the benefits of one thing, person, or concept. It could also be written simply to entertain the reader, or to arrive at an insight into human nature. The essay could discuss both similarities and differences, or it could just focus on one or the other. A comparison essay usually discusses the similarities between two things, while the contrast essay discusses the differences.

69. EDGAR ALLAN POE

As told by Emily...

My mother swears this is true:

My great-great grandmother, ill for quite some time, finally passed away after lying in a coma for several days. My great-great grandfather was devastated beyond belief, as she was his one true love and they had been married over 50 years. They were married so long it seemed as if they knew each other's innermost thoughts.

After the doctor pronounced her dead, my great-great grandfather insisted that she was not. They had to literally pry him away from his wife's body so they could ready her for burial.

Now, back in those days they had backyard burial plots and did not drain the body of its fluids. They simply prepared a proper coffin and committed the body (in its coffin) to its permanent resting place. Throughout this process, my great-great grandfather protested so fiercely that he had to be sedated and put to bed. His wife was buried and that was that.

That night he woke to a horrific vision of his wife hysterically trying to scratch her way out of the coffin. He phoned the doctor immediately and begged to have his wife's body exhumed. The doctor refused, but my great-great grandfather had this nightmare every night for a week, each time frantically begging to have his wife removed from the grave.

Finally the doctor gave in and, together with local authorities, exhumed the body. The coffin was pried open and to everyone's horror and amazement, my great-great grandmother's nails were bent back and there were obvious scratches on the inside of the coffin.

Comments: Shades of Edgar Allan Poe! It is a fact that once upon a time, before modern embalming techniques were in widespread use, people were found on rare occasions to have been buried alive, a circumstance that could not have been pleasant for anyone concerned, least of all the poor souls who woke up six feet under.

Here's one grisly example of a real-life case of premature burial, as reported in the New York Times on January 18, 1886:

BURIED ALIVE

WOODSTOCK, Ontario, Jan. 18. — Recently a girl named Collins died here, as it was supposed, very suddenly. A day or two ago the body was exhumed, prior to its removal to another burial place, when the discovery was made that the girl had been buried alive. Her shroud was torn into shreds, her knees were drawn up to her chin, one of her arms was twisted under her head, and her features bore evidence of dreadful torture.

It didn't help that medical science was slow to produce a reliable checklist of vital signs, nor that many doctors prior to the late 19th century were too poorly educated (or incompetent, or both) to tell a living body from a dead one.

It is also a fact that something of a moral panic concerning premature burials took hold in parts of Europe and North American during the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, the fervor of which was scarcely warranted by the facts. Historians surmise it may have been prompted by the medical discovery that victims of suffocation and drowning could be resuscitated — that, though they appeared dead, they really weren't. This must have been a disconcerting realization for many people at the time.

In any case, so strong was the fear of "precipitate interment" during the 19th century that some folks who had the means took to stipulating in their wills that their coffins be outfitted with signaling devices just in case. No one knows if any of these were ever actually put to good use.

68. LEGENDS AND MYTHS 2

The story...

A teenage boy drove his date to a dark and deserted Lovers' Lane for a make-out session. After turning on the radio for mood music, he leaned over and began kissing the girl.

A short while later, the music suddenly stopped and an announcer's voice came on, warning in an urgent tone that a convicted murderer had just escaped from the state insane asylum — which happened to be located not far from Lovers' Lane — and that anyone who noticed a strange man lurking about with a hook in place of his right hand should immediately report his whereabouts to the police.

The girl became frightened and asked to be taken home. The boy, feeling bold, locked all the doors instead and, assuring his date they would be safe, attempted to kiss her again. She became frantic and pushed him away, insisting that they leave. Relenting, the boy peevishly jerked the car into gear and spun its wheels as he pulled out of the parking space.

When they arrived at the girl's house she got out of the car, and, reaching to close the door, began to scream uncontrollably. The boy ran to her side to see what was wrong and there, dangling from the door handle, was a bloody hook.

Comments: Folks have been telling the "hook man" story since the 1950s, and indeed the implicit moral message — "Sex is naughty, and bad boys and girls will be punished!" — seems more appropriate to that simpler, more naive era. Just as this moral has come to be parodied in horror films (where formerly it was delivered with morbid solemnity), its "bygone" relevance has taken the teeth out of the cautionary tale over time.

Noting the improbable "tidiness" of the plot, Jan Harold Brunvand has observed that "most tellers narrate the story nowadays more as a scary story than a believed legend." Small wonder. Given its exploitation by Hollywood in popular genre films like "Candyman" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer," most people under the age of 30 probably assume the story was invented by screenwriters.

Folklorists of a Freudian bent find meaningful sexual overtones in the imagery of the tale. The boy, who wants to get his "hooks" into the girl, is not only frustrated by her unwillingness but afraid of his own lustful impulses — a fear heightened by the stern "voice of conscience" emitting from the radio — and has to "pull out fast" before a deadly sin is committed.

67. LEGENDS AND MYTHS

NASA and the 'Missing Day in Time'

Netlore Archive: In which we are asked to believe that NASA scientists inadvertently proved that the biblical account of God causing the sun to stand still for a day is true...

Description: Urban legend
Circulating since: 1960s
Status: False

Email example contributed by R. Dean, 12 Nov. 1998:

Did you know that the space program is busy proving that what has been called "myth" in the Bible is true? Mr Harold Hill, President of the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore Maryland and a consultant in the space program, relates the following development.

I think one of the most amazing things that God has for us today happened recently to our astronauts and space scientists at Green Belt, Maryland. They were checking the position of the sun, moon, and planets out in space where they would be 100 years and 1000 years from now.

We have to know this so we won't send a satellite, up and have it bump into something later on its orbits. We have to lay out the orbits in terms of the life of the satellite, and where the planets will be so the whole thing will not bog down. They ran the computer measurement back and forth over the centuries and it came to a halt. The computer stopped and put up a red signal, which meant that there was something wrong either with the information fed into it or with the results as compared to the standards.

They called in the service department to check it out and they said "what's wrong ?" Well they found there is a day missing in space in elapsed time. They scratched their heads and tore their hair. There was no answer. Finally, a Christian man on the team said, "You know, one time I was in Sunday School and they talked about the sun standing still."

While they didn't believe him, they didn't have an answer either, so they said, "Show us". He got a Bible and went back to the book of Joshua where they found a pretty ridiculous statement for any one with "common sense."

There they found the Lord saying to Joshua ,"Fear them not, I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee." Joshua was concerned because he was surrounded by the enemy and if darkness fell they would overpower them.

So Joshua asked the Lord to make the sun stand still! That's right--"The sun stood still and the moon stayed---and hasted not to go down about a whole day!" The astronauts and scientists said, "There is the missing day!"

They checked the computers going back into the time it was written and found it was close but not close enough. The elapsed time that was missing back in Joshua's day was 23 hours and 20 minutes--not a whole day.

They read the Bible and there it was "about (approximately) a day" These little words in the Bible are important, but they were still in trouble because if you cannot account for 40 minutes you'll still be in trouble 1,000 years from now. Forty minutes had to be found because it can be multiplied many times over in orbits. As the Christian employee thought about it, he remembered somewhere in the Bible where it said the sun went BACKWARDS.

The scientists told him he was out of his mind, but they got out the Book and read these words in 2 Kings: Hezekiah, on his death-bed, was visited by the prophet Isaiah who told him that he was not going to die.

Hezekiah asked for a sign as proof. Isaiah said "Do you want the sun to go ahead 10 degrees?" Hezekiah said "It is nothing for the sun to go ahead 10 degrees, but let the shadow return backward 10 degrees.." Isaiah spoke to the Lord and the Lord brought the shadow ten degrees BACKWARD! Ten degrees is exactly 40 minutes! Twenty three hours and 20 minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in Second Kings make the missing day in the universe!

Joshua 10:8 and 12,13
2 Kings 20:9-11
