Prose and poetry

Creative writing carries with it a myriad of challenges that are more than often conflicting or ironically similar. Let me start off by setting aside specific characteristics of languages. For instance, general talk typically employs ordinary language. Hence, verbs do what they are developed to do, and this also applies to nouns.  Therefore, by examining diverse characteristics of language, it is crucial to assert that, such aspects as rhymes are characteristically poetic attribute of language...

Hacking Is it a Political Act

Introduction Hacking refers to reconfiguration or re-programming of a system so that it can function in ways that are not expected by the owner.

Language as a tool in describing the world Accurate or Not

All throughout the history of mans existence on Earth, it was evidently seen that man made use of language as a tool to communicate concepts that are produced by their respective mental processes (Larochie, Pons  Richard, 2009).

We listened to a voice other than that of our maker giving birth to sin and opening the doorway to death.  What is a just God to do but to punish us for our disobedience we went against...
