...Matthew Fraser using obscene sexual references in a speech in front of 600 students at a school assembly and being punished. The question in the case was whether the First Amendment protected students from being punished at school for using lewd speech. The court said no the First Amendment does not protect a student from being punished ("Bethel School District No. 403 v. Fraser." Oyez, 5 Apr. 2018, www.oyez.org/cases/1985/84-1667). Ultimately I agree with this court decision on the basis that the school has the right to enforce their rules to maintain order in the learning environment. The second court case being discussed...

...The English language is known as being one of the most difficult languages to learn. There are many reasons for this, a major factor being the use of figurative language. Since the English language is packed with figures of speech is can be very confusing to truly comprehend what someone is trying to get across. This doesn’t just go for the new comers to the English language but also to native English speakers. Throughout this paper I will define and give examples for ten different types of figurative language while providing appropriate usage. These types of figurative language include idiom, analogy, metaphor, simile, cliché, amphiboly, fame word, hyperbole, euphemism, and lastly colloquialism. Idiom Idioms are words or phrases that mean something different from what they are literally saying. For example “to burn the candle at both ends” means to exhaust yourself by doing too much ("Language Arts," 2010). At first it might not make much since. After thinking about it you may realize if you lit a candle at both ends it would actually burn out two times faster than just being lit on one side. An appropriate circumstance for using this example would be if you had a friend that worked two jobs and went to school full-time. You could say “wow you really are burning the candle at both ends”. Again you are stating how your friend is over working themselves and how they could burn out just like the candle. Analogy An analogy compares certain similarities between things which...

Not that the characters were native New Yorkers, mind you, other than Tracy (who was born in Yankee Stadium and attended middle school at an Exxon station in the Bronx). The rest had moved to Manhattan from somewhere else: Pennsylvania, Florida, Massachusetts, Georgia. They were ambitious nuts who lived for their jobs, injecting the office comedy mold with both workaholism and a recurrent anxiety about what that might mean. (“I wish I’d worked more,” confessed Jack on his near-deathbed. Later, during a time-travel sequence, Future Jack told Jack he needed Liz to distract him from his own ambition.) While many shows have been set in a bland facsimile of “New York,” “30 Rock” was obsessive about the actual city, referring to events large and small, including several elections, the financial crisis, and that weird maple-syrup smell that floated over Manhattan. It...

...of speech. He was found guilty, and the U.S. Supreme Court soon reviewed his case on an appeal. (3) Opinion: The Supreme Court decided that Charles Schenck was not protected by freedom of speech in this situation. The Supreme Court also ruled that the Espionage Act did not violate the First Amendment, because he had intended to weaken the draft with his flyers. The freedom of speech doesn’t apply to everything a person says, because in times of war it can be an act of national insubordination. The decision of Charles Schenck had resulted in a practical “balancing test” which allowed the Supreme Court to decide if the freedom of speech applied to certain cases. He was sent to jail for six months. Gitlow v. New York (1925) (1) Constitutional Question: If Gitlow had told people to vote for socialism instead of creating a manifesto that created violence to try overthrow the government, would it still be unconstitutional under the First, and Fourteenth Amendment? (2) Background information: Benjamin Gitlow wanted socialism, and had decided to do this through strikes and violence. They had created a “left wing manifesto” to help them try to bring socialism in America. They printed many copies and distributed them around. Gitlow was arrested under a state criminal anarchy law, and was convicted because he was trying to overthrow the government by violence. During his trial Gitlow’s attorneys, said that since no violence had happened, so it violated his freedom of speech, and...

Comparison between St Louis song and Black snake moan In St Louis song, Bessie uses a high Pitch trumpet solo during the intro emphasizes her sadness and hatred when the man she loves goes to see another lady. The piano introduces with a moderate tempo; the trumpet picks up with a high speed then the voice joins. In contrast, Blind Lemon introduces the song with a guitar playing chords. There is a difference in their vocals as Bessie uses a moderate voice with languid vocal lines as an expression of sadness. Blind lemon on the other hand uses a deep with twang a twang voice to express his pain that will live with him forever. The tempo in Bessie’s song is slow, dragging tempo with a uniform rhythm singing with a falling sadness of her lover having another woman. Conversely, Blind Lemon uses a moderate tempo setting off the vocals clearly. The speech like rhythm in the delivery of Bessie Smith’s message is for accurate delivery of message by Bessie. In Blind Lemon’s song, the self-accompaniment of the guitar is highly distinctive. It forms the prelude and also brings out a call/response pattern in the piece. The tempo is moderate setting off the vocals clearly. Both of the vocals are conspicuous than the instruments making the message more relevant and clear.

It is stated as being the active processing of the information we receive. How well you listen has a major impact on the quality of your relationships with others.

...Before I start, let me tell all of you a cold joke related to the topic of my speech today. “One day, there was a man who entered this cocktail lounge. He noticed a blonde hair lady sitting alone and he approached her. The man wanted to offer her a drink and get to know her. He asked: May I buy you a cocktail, hot stuff? The lady rejected, saying that alcohol is bad for her legs. The man said: Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that. Do they swell? The lady answered: No, they open.” A very pleasant good morning to all my lovely classmates. I believe all of you would know what I am going to present today. Yes, it is about cocktails. What exactly cocktails are? The Merrian-Webster Dictionary defined cocktails as “iced drinks of wine or distilled liquor mixed with flavoring ingredients”. Putting it into simple words, cocktails are simply alcoholic drinks with different variations of flavors. The history of cocktails must be traced back to the 16th or 17th century when people started mixing ingredients to create drinks similar to what we known as cocktails nowadays. It was not until around the 18th century that those drinks became more well-known and here came the term “cocktail” when it was first introduced by the American Bartenders in the 1920’s. You might wonder why cocktail is named as a “cocktail”. Unfortunately, there are still uncertainties about the exact origin of the term “cocktail” ever since it made its appearance in prints in 6 May 1806, all out of a sudden. However...

...EL RINCON DEL MUNDO The small town of Guadalupe has Spanish history, as does most of the southwest region of the USA. Most of Guadalupe’s jobs center around agriculture. “El Rincon del mundo” which is what the region was thought of, literally mean the edge of the world in English. The name of Guadalupe is derived from either “La virgen de Guadalupe” or “Rancho de Guadalupe”. THE SKINNY BEAR Oso Flaco or (skinny bear) is a salt water lake near Guadalupe, gets it’s name from a story of a Spanish adventurer who kills a bear then eats its meat not knowing that the bear had been poisoned by the local Native Americans. The teens of Guadalupe organize a youth group called “Thee Group B”. “The Group B” has it’s own house band called “Soul Explosion” which eventually changes it’s name to “Congress”. Soul Explosion and Thee Group B have bonfires and party at the outskirts of town. THE DUNE THAT NEVER MOVES In 1923 The Ten Commandments a silent movie by Cecil B. DeMille is shot at the southern end of Guadalupe. A gigantic set is created for the film, complete with 20-ton pharaoh statues and a “City of Pharaohs”. After completion of the film the set is bulldozed with sand giving it term “The Dune that never moves”. To big city folk like those whom make movies there, Guadalupe and her surrounding area looks very different from what they are used to, from it’s farmland, to the fact that in the whole town there is not a single traffic light, to it’s cities building’s...

...Religion in the Public Schools: Public Prayer or Private Action? The differences between private and government sponsored religious speech can be difficult, but necessary to determine when dealing with religion in the public school system. In Kountze Texas, a group of cheerleaders are suing the school district because a ban was placed on their usage of religious banners before the local public school’s football games. The cheerleaders created banners, like many high school cheerleaders do, but the message painted on their signs were statements such as, “And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us” The messages on the banners are religious speech and a violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution. Yes, the United States Constitution does allow for the freedom of religion, but it also separates Church and State. The cheerleaders painted these signs for a school organized football game; the educational institution is a public one and must abide by the United States Constitution and the separation of church and state. If the school were private, religious connotations would be permissible, but being that the school is public, the signs created by the cheerleaders would be considered government sanctioned. The Establishment Clause in the First Amendment states, “congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” Throughout our nations history there has been much debate of what the framers of the Constitution meant by establishment...

...address three fundamental liberties all citizens have: religion, speech and peaceful assembly. On closer inspection, there are six very different ideals melded together into one defining statement. When the U.S. Constitution was signed on Sept. 17, 1787, it did not contain important freedoms that are now outlined in the Bill of Rights, because many of the Framers viewed some of the freedoms as unnecessary. However, after vigorous debate, the Bill of Rights was adopted. The first freedoms guaranteed in this historic document were expressed in 45 words written by James Madison that we have come to know as the First Amendment. The First Amendment states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Freedom of expression, artistic or otherwise in the United States is governed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Without a doubt the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is one of the most important rights afforded to us as Americans. Our freedom of expression and right to freedom of religion from government interference is protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Freedom of expression consists of the right to freedom of speech, press, and to petition the government for a...
