I am going to define the word "safe".
Safe: 1) Free from danger and harm.
2) Was not thrown out, made it to the base in time.
3) A device used to lock a persons possesions so only they can get to them.
I am defining "safe" in my paper because of the different meanings it has. Safe can be used in sports, as a noun, or as a way to describe someones well-being. I will focus a little on how safe means different things to people in different places in the world. People in the U.S are safe from many things in life that people in the Middle East are not safe from.
My goal is to compare the deffinitions of "safe" and also the different ways it can be applied to people.
My audience is people that take for granted the life we live here in the United Sates and how truly safe we are.
Ok, this sounds interesting but I need more. What is your larger goal in comparing these different ways it can be used? Is there some connection you have in mind? Think of the way that Oswalt and Pollan used their words to make a point; what is your point here? What specifically will you be working towards and how will you use the different definitions to do this?
ReplyDeleteThink about this and elaborate in a comment below.
I might not use the sports reference because the connection would be hard to combine all three of these. But for safe as in a lock, the point of it is to keep your valuables from getting damaged or protected. Safe as in like a person version is to stay away from danger and families protect each other from harm; like a safe would for valuables. My point will be to show how in America, we are a lot safer in comparison to people in third world countries. And because of this difference I would explain how our two definitions of the same word show how different our nations are. Centered around our definitions of safe.
ReplyDeleteAh ok, that could be interesting. That works.
