How has intrigue around the Harding and Kerrigan scandal developed over time? Cite evidence from the text in your response
Brut [27]

Answer:

I assume you are referring to the article written by Jessica McBirney. According to this text, the scandal was both triggered and magnified by the media representations of the two skaters.

Explanation:

While both Harding and Kerrigan were excellent skaters, <u>the general public and corporate sponsors preferred Kerrigan who was "the media darling of American figure skating"</u>. No wonder, then, that Harding would appear to be the prime suspect right after the incident - especially when the attacker confessed to having been hired by Harding's ex-husband.

Even though the prosecution failed to prove Harding's direct involvement in the incident, the media would keep on inflating the scandal and, in a way, conducting their own trial. They went on pestering Harding and building <u>their own version of the story, completing "the caricatures they had begun building for each woman: Tonya Harding, the scrappy, disadvantaged athlete who fought for everything she thought she deserved; and Nancy Kerrigan, the elegant, natural performer who had now, in the media’s eyes, become a victim of ruthless ambition"</u>.

The stories went on even as both skaters made it to the Olympics, where Kerrigan would significantly outperform Harding. Eventually, Harding would "plead guilty to conspiring to hinder a prosecution", which led to her stripping of her sport titles and retreating from skating altogether. Even so, she keeps on denying her involvement to the present day.

The media wouldn't leave Harding alone even after she retired. <u>They went on exploiting the story, turning it into "a universal story about competition, ambition, victimhood, and justice". From there, the story would evolve into a "pop culture trope" exploited in sitcoms and movies, across all media outlets.</u>

kari74 [83]
Sitting before the blank diary page, Winston is about to commit a crime. 

It is not surprising that at this moment, his sore begins to itch unbearably. It is a reminder of his guilty conscience and of the crime he is about to commit. It is his internalization of Big Brother, reminding him that any thought not in support of Big Brother is a crime.

Write a research paper about Samuel Johnson’s A Dictionary of the English Language.
9966 [12]

Answer:

Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language is one of the most famous dictionaries in history. First published in 1755, the dictionary took just over eight years to compile, required six helpers, and listed 40,000 words. Each word was defined in detail, the definitions illustrated with quotations covering every branch of learning. It was a huge scholarly achievement, a more extensive and complex dictionary than any of its predecessors – the comparable French Dictionnaire had taken 55 years to compile and required the dedication of 40 scholars.

A group of London booksellers first commissioned Johnson’s dictionary, as they hoped that a book of this kind would help stabilize the rules governing the English language. In the preface to the book, Johnson explains how he had found the language to be ‘copious without order, and energetic without rules. In his view, English was in desperate need of some discipline: ‘wherever I turned my view … there was perplexity to be disentangled, and confusion to be regulated’. However, in the process of compiling the dictionary, Johnson recognized that language is impossible to fix because of its constantly changing nature, and that his role was to record the language of the day, rather than to form it.

Johnson details how languages change over time. However much the lexicographer may want to fix or 'embalm' his language, new words, phrases, and pronunciations are constantly appearing, whether brought from abroad by merchants and travelers, extracted from the workrooms of geometricians, and physicians or found in the minds of poets.

In all, there are over 114,000 quotations in the dictionary. Johnson was the first English lexicographer to use citations in this way, a method that greatly influenced the style of future dictionaries. He had scoured books stretching back to the 16th century, often quoting from those thought to be 'great works, such as poems by Milton or plays by Shakespeare. Therefore the quotations reflect his distinct literary taste and political views. And yet, if Johnson didn't like a quotation, or if a phrase didn't convey the exact meaning he required, he did not hesitate to chop, twist around, or rewrite a few words – Johnson famously scribbled all over his books, underlining, highlighting, altering and correcting the words.
