    In John Updike’s “A & P” Sammy, the main character of the story encounters three young girls who come into his grocery store. They are dressed for a day at the beach, not shopping. “The one that caught my eye first was the one in the plaid green two-piece. She was a chunky kid, with a good tan and a sweet broad soft-looking can with those two crescents of white just under it, where the sun never seems to hit, at the top of the backs of her legs.” (Updike) Sammy goes on to say the girls are barefoot and in describing another of the girls says the straps on her swimsuit are down. Their apparel gives them some unintended attention. Lengel, the A & P manager, confronts the three girls, reminding them they are not at the beach. The girls try to defend themselves stating the reason they are in the store is to pick up one item for one of the girls’ mothers. Lengel does not care and tells the girls it does not matter why they are in the store but they need to be decent when they came in to do any sort of shopping. Sammy does not like the way Lengel made a scene and embarrassed the girls. He feels he must follow his heart and stand up for the three girls by quitting his job. In my life, exploring the option of homeschooling my three children, I feel there could be unintended negative consequences as well. Weighing the pros and cons of the decision is a heavy task, but in the end I must do what is right for my family despite outside obstacles, just as Sammy had to do what he felt was right. Sadly, doing what is right for you often times is rejected by main stream society and can therefore bring uphill challenges that accompany your decision.…

    The Ted-Talk, “Our campaign to ban plastic bags in Bali”, given by siblings Melati and Isabel Wijsen was seemingly directed towards “all the kids of this beautiful but challenging world”. Therefore, centering their audience at all those kids in the crowd that will later become the future “leaders of today”. The main idea that the two sisters draw up within their speech is the concept that “you are never too young to understand” the world around you alongside the fact that making a change “isn’t going to be easy” but in the end “it’s going to be worth it”. In order to do so, Melati and Isabel introduce their own personal story of how they were able to make a change within their community by bringing the citizens of their island together to form…

    Even though people love to say the word fuck and say it on a daily basis, many don’t know where the word comes from. There have been many theories of who originally came up with the word. One theory is that it originated in the 15 century and has a Dutch meaning, to mock. In Germany ficken was another word for “fuck.” In 1558, they compared the Middle High German, ficken, meaning to rub, with the modern German word, ficken, which means to rub, itch, or scratch. Also the German word, ficken, means to have sexual intercourse. The Germans don’t use the word like how Americans do. They tend to say ficken when it only comes down to having sexual intercourse. Even though the Germans had their own meaning of the word “fuck”, the Norwegian word, fukka, and Swedish word, fokka, also means to copulate. Although there were many alternative theories that had to do with the origin of this word, the word has cultivated over a long period of time, (OED).…

    The American novel reached one of its highest peaks during the life of writer Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name, Mark Twain. With its late development with a self-established status, the American novel appeared in the late 18th century, one of its first creators being considered, although debated along time, Washington Irving. Before Irving, the American novel didn’t have a voice of itself, but always had a tendency towards borrowing from the European form and style, thus being seen by critics as inferior. Starting off with the Colonial literature, which was built on religious grounds and then evolved to the exploration of socio-political problems, including the conflicts with the native Indians, all representing a means of the struggle to find a sense of nationality, a self consciousness as American individual; continuing with the revolutionary period which brought a shift from the Puritanical ideas to the Enlightenment concepts that implied more diversity, and with the post-independence period which had a historical foundation. When it appeared, the American novel had a unique style consisting of humorous and satirical writing on one hand and romantic and nature-inspired poetry on the other, including Edgar Allen Poe’s romantic grotesque form.…
