Syllogism !




Friends, Romans, Countrymen , Lend Me You Ears...


For Brutus is a savvier man,
As savvier man is an ambitious,
Where is the Brutus when poor have cried?
Only Caesar is the one who hath wept.

As you called Caesar as a dictator,
I'm not support a dictator man,
But here I am standing about justice,
That dictator that you called is an ambitious man.

All my fellow friends,
We are all discriminate the dictator,
Open wide your eyes,
How would be the honorable Brutus killed his own beloved step-father.

David Beckham's son Romeo wants to name his new sister "Justine Bieber Beckham".

The soccer superstar and his wife Victoria are expecting their fourth child - a confirmed daughter - later this year and their middle son is desperate to name the new arrival after his favourite pop star Justin Bieber.
During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', David said: "When we got told it was a boy, Romeo said, 'How about Justin Bieber as a name? Justin Bieber Beckham?'
"So now we know it's a girl, he said, 'Well, how about Justine Bieber Beckham?' "

Similes :o)



Similes are comparisons that show how two things that are not alike in most ways are similar in one important way. Similes are a way to describe something. Authors use them to make their writing more interesting or entertaining. Similes use the words “as” or “like” to make the connection between the two things that are being compared.


Examples:


As white as snow.


As old as the hills.


As high as a kite.


As clear as mud.


As clear as crystal.


As pretty as a picture.


As slow as a snail.


As hot as hell.


As dull as dishwater.


As busy as a bee.



Metaphor ?



What is Metaphor ?


Metaphor is when you use two nouns and compare or contrast them to one another. Unlike simile, you don't use "like" or "as" in the comparison.

Below is the examples of Metaphor :

  • Her home was a prison.



  • Time is a thief.



  • Life is a precious possession, death is a loss.



  • She has a heart of gold.



  • A rainbow of flavors.



  • My memory is a little cloudy about that incident.



  • It is raining cats and dogs.



  • His head was spinning with ideas.


  • The policeman let him off with a yellow card.


  • You light up my life with your presence.

The MOST LIKELY to be JACK THE RIPPER !


Jack The Ripper was the name given to a serial killer active in the Whitechapel area of London in the later half of 1888.The name was taken from a letter sent to the Central News Agency by someone who claimed to be the murderer.The letter was later published in the newspapers during the same time period.


The Ripper's Victims were women earning income as  prostitutes. Most of the Ripper murders were  in a public or semi-public place which the victim's throat was cut, after which the body was mutilated. Some believe that the victims were first strangled in order to silence them. The removal of internal organs from some victims has led to the proposal that the killer possessed anatomical or surgical knowledge or skill. 


BUT


Who is JACK THE RIPPER ?


In my opinion, the most likely to be Jack The Ripper is...




  (Dr. Thomas Neill Cream)


1) He was a doctor secretly specializing in abortions. 

ARGUMENT
  • Dr. Thomas has the particular skill in the human structure as the Chapman’s body was found without her uterus and her face was mutilated by the murder. 
SUB-ARGUMENT

  • Dr. Thomas is the most likely suspect because as a doctor, he knew every part of human body especially about women reproductive system.


2) He bribed the officer to leave the prison earlier before his official release.


ARGUMENT
  • Dr. Thomas bribed the prison officer to release him before the exact release day.
SUB-ARGUMENT
  • That's mean he was still free and has a time to do the murder. Even though he is in the prison, but that place was look alike his place which equipped with surgery tools.

3) He resumed killing again and was soon arrested.
ARGUMENT
  • Dr. Thomas has the bad history due to the murder of his mistress’s husband but he was released on good behavior on 31 July 1891. 


SUB-ARGUMENT
  • Again after his released, he was found guilty in murder case in London and he was sentenced hanged until death on 15 November 1892. After the year, there is no more murder cases that reported.

The 4 Articles .



Who are the four of them ?  They are the writer's of this 4 articles which is The Degree of Happiness by Betrand Russell , Thinking Folly by Eckhart Tolle , Men and Women are merely Players by Robert Greene and last but not least The Jews and their Deceits by Adolf Hitler

Basically , this is my first assignment for this Critical Literacy subject. I like to read all the 4 articles wrote by the writer's. However, in the same time the articles make my mind become critical to think whether i am supporting the articles or against the articles. The words used by the writer's are quite hard to understand. Plus , i have to take such a long hours to truly understand about the articles as every single words is important for me. In other word, this 4 articles are making my mind become CRITICAL ! :)
