What is the most overused cliche, and how can these get in the way of critical thinking

Cliches like "in the nick of time", "throughout history", "in this day and age", "little did i know" and "good things come to those who wait" are some of the most overused and annoying cliches. Cliches are usually not acceptable in academic writing because of a few factors:

1. Cliches sometimes make you seem boring. When using a cliche, you are giving the reader the impression that you lack originality, which will make them want to stop reading your paper.

2. Cliches make you seem lazy. The reader will just assume that you do not want to put your mind to something and be creative.

3. Cliches make you lose credibility. The person reading your paper will not trust you as a valid source if you cannot come up with a better description than a cliche.

4. Cliches cannot be used as actual evidence. Because cliches are not specific, they do not offer strong enough commentary to prove your point.

To conclude, cliches are overused and will not help you in any way while writing a paper.

Hope this helps:)

Cerrena [4.2K]
Hamlet's willingness to go with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern into a trap shows that he may be giving up. He knows the consequences he should face for killing Polonius and has not had the strength or courage to act against Claudius yet. It also is a point that he has descended further into a reality of the madness that he has been 'putting on'.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

He is writing to white Christians with the power to stop the slave trade

Explanation:

Olaudah Equiano was a notable Nigerian sold into slavery and taken to the Caribbean and then to London.

In his memoirs, he recounts how he wrote to white Christians who had the power to stop the slave trade but could not stop it because so many people were benefitting from the trade.

The treatment of slaves were inhuman and debasing as they were whipped deprived of food made to move about naked, and a lot of other injustice.

Hence, his letter was directed to white Christians who could stop the slave trade.
