Topic: Parts and Patterns of Definition
What It is In its simplest form, a definition is “a statement of the meaning of a word or word group or a sign or symbol”. In other words, a definition explains through clarification and further explanation what we are trying to say with one or a few short words. Aristotle would say that the definition provides the essence (opiouog horismos] of the term. In defining a term, you actually answer the question “What is A?” Definitions are commonly used in expository writing such as researchen, scientific and legal texts. It is also used in essays and other text types in order to make ideas and concepts clearer. Full definitions are composed of a term to define, the general class to which the term belongs and a distinguishing characteristic which separates the term from the other members of the same class. A definition uses one of these two patterns. Pattern 1: Pattern 1: Term = class + distinguishing characteristics is/are which/that… A is defined as – B of v+ing/N… C refers to by which… denotes for… Vten Examples: OF GIVOD Freedom is the ability to do what is right. Family is a group of people who are bound together by love Biology is a branch of science dealing with the study of life
Pattern 2: Pattern 2: term Class distinguishing characteristics which/that is/are called of V+ing/N is/are B by which… G is/are known A for . .= Vten… Examples: The ability to do what is right in freedom. A group of people who are bound together by love is called family. A branch of science dealing with the study of life is biology. Note: An article (The, A, An) may or may not be added at the beginning of each sentence. V on the structure refers to Verb. What’s More A. Go back to the definitions of anti-life acts.

What really died at Auschwitz? Here’s an interesting viewpoint. The following is a copy of an article, “Auschwitz,” written by Spanish writer Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez and published in a Spanish newspaper. It doesn’t take much imagination to extrapolate the message to the rest of Europe – and possibly to the rest of the world.
-Question:
What are the obvious rhetorical movements, logical errors, and false claims about facts?
Auschwitz
I walked down the streets in Barcelona and suddenly discovered a terrible truth – Europe died in Auschwitz . . . We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz, we burned a group of people who represented culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who made great contributions to the world and thus changed the world.
The contribution of today’s Jewish people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. Look at any donors’ board at any symphony, art museum, theatre, art gallery, science centre, etc. You will see many, many, Jewish surnames. These are the people who were burned. Of the 6,000,000 who died, how many would have grown up to be gifted musicians, doctors, artists, philanthropists?
And under the pretence of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the diseases of racism and bigotry, Europe opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime, and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.
They have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime. Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.
And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition. We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs. What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.
Recently, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it ‘offends’ the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving in to it.
It is now approximately seventy years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, twenty million Russians, ten million Christians, and nineteen-hundred Catholic priests who were ‘murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated. Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be ‘a myth,’ it is imperative to make sure the world “never forgets.”
How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Centre ‘NEVER HAPPENED’ because it offends some Muslim in the United States? If our Judeo-Christian heritage is offensive to Muslims, they should pack up and move to Iran, Iraq or some other Muslim country.
We must wake up America, England, Australia & Europe before it’s too late.

5. Because Rufus’s personality has not yet been warped by an authoritarian social structure, Dana believes that she might be able to shape his personality for the better. She asserts that she will try to “plant a few ideas in his mind that would help both [her] and the people who would be his slaves in the years to come” (68). Is it possible to offset the negative ways in which social environments mold people’s personalities? Is it possible to re-educate people who have already hardened into chauvinists (Buz) or despots (Tom Weylin)? How does Butler’s novel answer those questions?

(DR RICHARDSON has just arrived at the MACLEAN house to give DADDY SHERRY a checkup.)
DOCTOR: Hey there, Keith, I see you’re getting up in the world.
KEITH: Umm.
(Now hanging by his knees, and not friendly at all)
Dr. Richardson.
DOCTOR: All set to do your death-defying triple somersault through thin air?10
(Waits for KEITH’s response)
Double somersault?
(Waits again) Single?
KEITH: She’s in the house.
DOCTOR: Hmm?
KEITH: My mother.
DOCTOR: Oh. (Now he senses KEITH’s hostility.) Well, I came to give Daddy
15a checkup.
KEITH: She’s dressin’ ‘im.
(Shrugs. He begins to swing the trapeze. The DOCTOR stands hesitant as he looks up at KEITH.)
DOCTOR: Something bothering you?
KEITH: Nope.
(Continues to swing)
20
DOCTOR: Anything I can…
KEITH: Nope.
DOCTOR: You sure?
KEITH: Yep.
DOCTOR:
(Turns away towards the door and then back again)
Look, Keith, if25something is bothering you, maybe there is something I can do.
KEITH: Nope.
(He falls backwards and hangs by his hands.)
DOCTOR:
(Moves up and stands under the hanging boy)
Come on down – let’s talk it over.
(KEITH lifts up his legs and brings them through his arms in a skin-the-cat and hangs there.)
30
DOCTOR: I thought we were friends – you and I –
(Pause)
and your mother.
KEITH:
(Suddenly explodes. bringing his legs through his arms and kicking out to finish the skin-the-cat. He dam near gets the DOCTOR, who has to jump back to get out of the way. KEITH hooks one knee over the bar and goes up to sit on it)
: She’s probably got him dressed for you now. You can go in there and do your examination35now
(Pause)
on him.
DOCTOR: Yes I could.
(Pause)
After you tell me what I have done that seems to have upset you.
(Pause)
After you come down off that bar.
(Pause)
Will you?
KEITH: Will I what?
(It has now reached an impasse1 between them. KEITH probably now wishes he had not come on so strong, but at the same time there is no
40way he can backtrack and he doesn’t know quite how to go ahead. He puts his arms wider on the bar and goes backwards and into another skin-the-cat. He hangs for a moment, then does the dislocate ?first one shoulder and then the other. This is not difficult with the hands wide on the bar and is quite dramatic.)
DOCTOR: Hey, that’s really something.
45   KEITH: It’s called skin-the-cat.
DOCTOR
(He goes to KEITH and takes him by the hips and lifts him so that he can get his shoulders back into place, then go up and through and drop to the ground)
: Good thing you had a doctor handy, boy.
KEITH: Yeah.50
DOCTOR: Now, what’s eating you, Keith?
KEITH: Er, nothin’.
(He is glad to be out of it.)
Daddy kinda got under my hide.
DOCTOR: He’s good at that
KEITH: Yeah, I’m sorry.
DOCTOR: That’s all right.55
KEITH: What are you getting Daddy for his birthday?
DOCTOR: Mmmmmh – box of cigars…
KEITH: Oh.
DOCTOR: You see – I know him mainly – professionally – not as close to him as you – your mother…I thought a box of House of Senate cigars would be about my60speed.
KEITH:
(They are both sitting on the porch step now)
: Mmmh. Not too hard for you.
DOCTOR: What do you mean?
KEITH: Like you said, being closer to a person – it’s tougher – got to be more careful.65
DOCTOR: That’s right
KEITH: You – I was wondering if maybe you had any ideas – for me.
DOCTOR: I don’t know, Keith.
KEITH: Must be lots of things he might like.
DOCTOR: Mmmmh70
KEITH: But – with him – lots of things he wouldn’t like.
DOCTOR: The main thing, Keith – you’re fond of Daddy – you’re close to him when you know a person well it shouldn’t be so hard to think of a present for him – should it?
KEITH: Easy for you to say.75
DOCTOR: But it’s right
KEITH: I got a dollar twenty cents saved up – be two dollars twenty cents if I ever get the windows done.
DOCTOR: One thing that might help you.
KEITH: Yeah?80
DOCTOR: I have a feeling he would get more pleasure out of something you made yourself than something you bought with your two dollars-twenty cents.
KEITH: Oh!
(Considers it)
Why?
DOCTOR: He would.
KEITH: Anything a kid like me would make – it’d be a hay-wire, shaganappi thing.
DOCTOR: That isn’t the point, Keith: Anything you bought would be something anybody – with two dollars and – twenty cents – could walk into a store and buy. If you made it yourself – then Daddy would know that you had – that it took you time to make it – and care ….
KEITH: Uh-huh.90
DOCTOR: All the time you were whittling or gluing or sand-papering or hammering…
KEITH: Gluin’ or sand-paperin’ what?
DOCTOR: Whatever you made up your mind – whatever you thought he’d like.95
KEITH: Oh.
DOCTOR: Some of your own time would be wrapped up – in your present to him.
KEITH: Uh-huh.
DOCTOR: Does that help you – any?
KEITH
(Shakes his head)
: Well – maybe – I guess I ought to make it – only – I still100don’t know what to make and it’s harder to figure out a present to make for a person than it is to figure out a present to buy for a person.
DOCTOR: Guess it is.
KEITH: Bein’ Daddy – makes it twice as hard – may be the last chance I get – to give him a birthday present.105
DOCTOR: Ohhhh.
(He has been about to say “Oh, no – there will be other birthdays” but he’s an honest man.)
You might find a length of diamond willow — carve him a cane – varnish it…
KEITH: He’s got six canes.
DOCTOR: Oh – well – a tie rack.110
KEITH
(His chin in his hands ? simply turns his head slowly to the DOCTOR ? holds it ? then slowly turns it away)
: Hell of a present.
DOCTOR: Yeah – guess it was.
KEITH: Hasn’t worn a tie all his life. See what I mean – it ought to be something he’d get some fun out of! He’ll get fun outa your box of cigars! Hey – maybe I could115chip in my two dollars and twenty cents…
DOCTOR: No. That wouldn’t be giving him a present at all…
KEITH: He still gets a bang out of us goin’ fishin’…
DOCTOR: All right. Tackle box.
KEITH: Already got one.
(He gets up.)
Only kind of fishin’ stuff I could make would be a minnow net out of hay wire an’ a onion sack…
HELEN
(She has come to the door)
: Doctor…
(To KEITH)
Why didn’t you tell me the Doctor had come?
DOCTOR: Oh – Keith and I had something to talk about. How’s Daddy today?
