In Melville's english class, there were a variety of answers to "Who's better out of Jay-z and Nas"?
Five classmates stated that Jay-z is better than Nas. Does Jay-z has more experience than Nas? Rory said that "he's the best" while Kris stated that "I don't like Nas". Also, maybe Jay-z has more plublicity. "I never heard of Nas" replied Nafis. "I'm more familiar with Jay-z music" commented Melville. Or is it because of his swagg makes him better than Nas. Sierra believes that "he has more swagg while Nas doesn't." These are the beliefs of what 5 of my classmates believed.

Final Draft for NHD
Do you want to make an impact on us citizens? Do you want to become an anthropologist? The American anthropologist, Margaret Meade developed the field of culture and personality research and was a leading influence in introducing the concept of culture into education, medicine, and public policy. In 1923, she entered the anthropology Department of Columbia University. Perhaps the most profound and far-reaching impact that Margaret Meade had was as a counselor to American society - usually on family related issues.
Margaret Meade was a counselor to American society, which she became a major impact in history. In the past, Meade wanted to make Americans understand cultural anthropology as well as to understood archaeology. Mead's interest in psychiatry had turned her attention to the problem of the cultural context of schizophrenia, and with this in mind she went to Bali, a society where trance and other forms of dissociation are culturally sanctioned. Through the work of Ruth Benedict and Margaret Mead, the relevance of anthropology to the problems of public policy was recognized to a degree, though somewhat belatedly. When World War II brought the United States into contact with allies, enemies, and people emerging from colonialism, the need to understand many lifestyles became apparent. Mead conducted a nationwide study of American food habits prior to the introduction of rationing. Later she was sent to England to try to explain to the British the habits of the American soldiers who were suddenly thrust among them. After the war she worked as director of Research in research cultures, a cross-cultural, trans-disciplinary project applying the insights and some of the methods of anthropology to the study of complex modern cultures. In return, she contributed significantly to the development of psychoanalytic theory by emphasizing the importance of culture in personality development. She served on many national and international committees for mental health and was instrumental in introducing the study of culture into training programs for physicians and social workers. Ever since Margaret Mead taught a class of young workingwomen in 1926, she became deeply involved in education, both in the universities and in interpreting the lessons of anthropology to the general public. Margaret Mead was a dominant force in developing the field of culture and personality and the related field of national character research.
However, Margaret Meade relates to NHD because her theoretical position is based on the assumption that an individual matures within a cultural context which includes an ideological system, the expectations of others, and techniques of socialization which condition not only outward responses but also inner psychic structure. We should be able to care about Margaret Meade because the impact she made for us citizens had encourage people to follow in her footsteps such as people becoming a anthropologist. Margaret Meade isn’t famous, but she should be. She should be famous because the impact she had on us citizens which she had helped people and their relationships with each other. She also should become famous because she was a leading influence in introducing the concept of culture into education, medicine, and public policy. The legacy Meade has on us today is her words. Several examples are "A city is a place where there is no need to wait for next week to get the answer to a question, to taste the food of any country, to find new voices to listen to and familiar ones to listen to again. Life in the twentieth century is like a parachute jump; you have to get it right the first time." The way we can feel her words is because of the way she describes and compares them to reality. She describes it in a way where you will always see what she means.

Final Copy of Animal Farm
Although characters in Animal Farm has a way of stories to be perceived, they believe anything they are told. Animal Farm is an allegory that was based on the Russian Revolution but was told with animals. Author George Orwell wrote this book to criticize Stalin and the Russian people. In Animal Farm, Squealer uses many rhetorical strategies to convince the animals to submit to the pig's rules.
By way of example, Squealer uses rhetorical strategies to make it seem like the animals have only two choices, follow the pigs or Jones will return. Squealer uses the two choices to make Napolean preeminent to the other animals. Squealer says that "you're with us, or Jones will return". The fact that Squealer twists up stories is because he wants the animals to be on the pigs side, but if not he trying to make an excuse saying that Jones will return knowing that the animals don't like humans. In the text, he told the animals that Boxer died in the hospital but he really were sold. He just want to the animals to keep up with his lies so it can seem as though the pigs are doing the right thing. Even though Squealer were a dissimulator, he always persuade people with the lies he tell. In the allegory Animal Farm, they describe Squealer as "a brilliant talker, and when he's arguing some difficult point, he had a way of skipping side to side and whisking his tail which was somehow persuasive. They say Squealer can turn black into white." Just like in the real world, Squealer is just like Bush. Bush states that "you're with us or against us." That's similar to what Squealer trying to say. But if you are with him then it's okay, but if you're against him, you're dead. Squealer is a prevaricator but the animals are having a hard time to see.
Notably, he blames all the animals tragedies on Snowball. Squealer puts all the blame on Snowball so that the pigs can escape blame and responsibility. Everything are now blamed on Snowball. To the animals, they now see Snowball as an intruder trying to mess up their life. Like for instance, Napolean blames Snowball for knocking down the windmill but really the storm hit it. In today's society, the situation with Iraq is just like Snowball and the windmill. Bush blames an Iraq for the incident that happen with 9/11 when Osama Bin Laden really did it but he's not even from Iraq. Just like the situation Bush has, Napolean blames Snowball for knocking down the windmill, when really it was a storm. Squealer is a person who stands on other people beliefs that really don't happen.
However, Squealer make it seem that there can be no doubt that the pigs are always right. Squealer make it seem like Napolean is always right. Squealer are using one of his ways to persuade people as being a reliable man. He are trying to play as if Napolean are right about all the things he does just because he is one of the smart animals. Though some of the animals aren't literal, they don't understand that Squealer are trying to persuade them. Since Squealer is a man they believe are reliable, they wouldn't believe in such a thing. In the book, it states that all animals aren't smart besides several of them. Like usual, Bush and Squealer believes there is no doubt. Bush believes the U.S is always right. Bush doesn't want to put a better ends to the United States because he believe that the things he do in the U.S are always right never wrong. Squealer is a tricky boar.
As previously stated, the rhetorical strategies, Squealer uses to convince the animals to submit to the pigs rule. Squealer is a brilliant talker, a prevaricator, and a tricky boar. So how do the Russians feel about this situation? It matters if you stood up for your belief because close
mouths don't get fed. Just know that don't trust everything you hear, it can be false.
