Back up your argumentative sentence with evidence of what you're writing about.
Example: As of 2012, more than half of the human population joined social media according to the scientific study at the university of utah.

You can't write a paper about "everything" because it would never end. Two of your three topics are social networking sites, the other a psychological phenomenon. Your thesis is about addiction. So you should choose whether you are going to talk about social networking addiction, which might be something called "virtual interaction" (there are many names). Virtual identity or "-philia" is probably what you are referring to, unless you specifically mean talking to people over the internet. It is a phenomenon where someone has become addicted to their "virtual" interactions - whatever they may be - because somewhere psychologically they prefer those interactions over physical everyday life. This can be playing games, music, videos, reading blogs, etc.. It doesn't have to actually be social. Remember that addictions are not taken lightly. They are habits that when stopped CAUSE TRAUMA, or habits that INHIBIT WHOLESOME LIVING. That is the only reason they are considered bad, otherwise they would just be avid normal interests. The internet is very useful - we are on it right now - and using it regularly is not innately negative. Some of us use it for livelihoods. So if you mean that the internet is addicting, but not bad - you might merely mean the internet is ENJOYABLE. So if about social networking, you could state why you think everyone using them should be careful. If about deluding oneself from reality, you could state why people form this dependency or what to do if they have it.

Which phrase in this excerpt from Ambrose Bierce an occurrence at owl creek bridge

fgiga [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

No service was too humble for him to perform

This line shows that the character is an everyday person. A person of a high social class would not be willing to complete any service. However, a person of a lower social class, who is also described as humble, would be more likely to perform any service asked of him. Of the possible options, this is the best choice.

2. Poe talks about time throughout the story.

Leni [432]

Here's one part where the time's going slow:

I asked the policemen to come in. The cry, I said, was my own, in

a dream. - <em>all the way up to -</em> But why does his heart not stop beating?! Why does it not stop!?”

Here's another slow part:

"The old man was lying there not dreaming that I was at his door.

Suddenly he moved in his bed. - <em>all the way up to </em>- Yes. He was dead! Dead as a stone. His eye would

trouble me no more!"

Here's a fast portion:

So I am mad, you say? You should have seen how careful I was to put the body where no one could find it. First I cut off the head, then the arms and the legs. I was careful not to let a single drop of blood fall on the floor. I pulled up three of the boards that formed the floor, and put the pieces of the body there. Then I put the boards down again, carefully, so carefully that no human eye could see that they had been moved.

As I finished this work I heard that someone was at the door. It was now four o’clock in the morning, but still dark.

Here's another fast portion:

So you think that I am mad? A madman cannot plan. But you

should have seen me. During all of that week I was as friendly to the

old man as I could be, and warm, and loving.

Every night about twelve o’clock I slowly opened his door. And

when the door was opened wide enough I put my hand in, and then

my head. In my hand I held a light covered over with a cloth so that

no light showed. And I stood there quietly. Then, carefully, I lifted the

cloth, just a little, so that a single, thin, small light fell across that eye.

For seven nights I did this, seven long nights, every night at midnight.

Always the eye was closed, so it was impossible for me to do the work.

For it was not the old man I felt I had to kill; it was the eye, his Evil

Eye.

And every morning I went to his room, and with a warm, friendly

voice I asked him how he had slept. He could not guess that every

night, just at twelve, I looked in at him as he slept.

Why does Poe mention time so much in the story? Why does he change the pace from slow to fast?

Cause, it's a very short story. However, in this story is a very big concept of murder. Some parts go by rapidly, where no action is happening really. However, near the important parts, like the actual murder and confession, every detail is included.
