jeremy(6)

Eddie Vedder mostly based "Jeremy" on a fifteen year old kid named Jeremy Delle who shot himself in front of his high school English class. "Jeremy" received four MTV music video awards including Best Video of the Year. The song also received Grammy nominations for best rock song and best hard rock performance. Jeremy was a boy who was ignored by his parents and picked on by his peers. His classmate feels guilty about what happened and wants some one to tell him that it's not his fault.

Throughout the music video, there are many images that make you question Jeremy's sanity. He is seen running through the woods half naked with nobody else around, yelling at his parents at the top of his lungs , and sitting in a class room full of students laughing and pointing at him. Jeremy has also been said to of drawn a picture with the dead laying in pools of maroon. Now even though one feels sorry for Jeremy because he was alone in the world, you can't deny that there is something wrong with the kid.

Jeremy's classmate can clearly remember pickin' on the boy. At first Jeremy's retaliation to this was typical of any high school boy; he got into a fight. So how were his classmates supposed to know that Jeremy would "speak in class." Of course the kids didn't know that Jeremy would shoot himself he could of done any number of things. Yet his classmates were covered with his blood.

Jeremy scared the kids in his class that day when he "spoke." His classmate feels guilty and is pleading with anyone that will listen to him. He wants everyone to believe that it wasn't his fault. He wants to erase what Jeremy did from the blackboard that is his mind.

better writing?(5)

Well it seems to me that my biggest problem that was noticed from the V from vendetta rhetorical analysis was organization. I need to separate my ideas into different paragraphs. I also need to write an introductory paragraph. Also my paper had some fluidity issues. This problem will solve itself over time. I have not wrote a graded paper in a year so I expected there to be some issues with this. But I'd have to say that my biggest problem when I was writing this paper was the procrastination. I waited until the last second to write the paper so i was rushed and didn't do the best job that i could. The next paper that I write will be "whole assed"

Intelligence (4)

intelligence- the ability to learn or understand or to deal with or trying new situation; the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's enviornment or to think absstractly as measured by objective criteria
intelligent- having or indicating a high degree of intelligence or mental capacity' revealing or reflecting good judgement or soundthought

By these definitions you can tell if a person is intelligent by the way that a person speaks and is able to convey one's thoughts. If a person can have a civilized conversation and can see another's point of view then he must be intelligent. My step dad always says "Better for people to think that you are a fool, than open your mouth and prove them right." But in reality there are many different kinds of intelligent people. There are the people that can dance and play football and there are those that know people well. So there are many different kinds of intelligence and everybody has a certain type of it.
