I sat towards the back of the Church, fearing the tears that were daring to stream down my face at the sight of the open casket. The eulogist announced that the casket would be closing, and the service would be starting, so anyone who wanted to say their final goodbyes to Mason should come to the front now. I stayed put, sitting in the back, still fearing my tears, as Mrs. Jennie called out to me in the quiet, echoing church. “Maggie baby, come up to the front with me. Lets say our last goodbyes together.”…

In “Cognition, Convention, and Certainty: What We Need to Know Writing” the author Patricia Bizzell explains what we need to know about writing.

The first camp sees writing as inner-directed which focusses on the structure of language-learning and thinking process prior to social influence.…

It seems as if books are the only thing close to a permanent “family” that Liesel has, as all of the real family she has seems to always be taken away from her. On the other hand, books always seem to be there for her when she wants to soften the blow of the losses and sorrows thrown towards her, such as losing her friends and family. Books are Liesel’s safe haven throughout having to leave her parents at the beginning of the book, all the way through the deaths of her extended family and friends at the end of the book, and she would most likely use books as her therapy throughout the rest of her life after the book ends. However, there still might be a lingering trauma following her and her relationships with books, as they will always remind her of why she needed them.…

People enjoy watching movies related to our own destruction or the end of the world. It seems that having the sensation that our destiny is to try to survive from an apocalypses, zombies or monsters is very interesting to people. This sensation is because “monsters can stand as symbols of human vulnerability and crisis, and such they play imaginative foils for thinking about our own responses to menace” (Asma, 2016). The movie “ Dawn of the Dead” is a good example of how a group of people coexisting within a mall tries to deal with each other’s personalities and behaviors, and how they fight against the zombies in order to survive. Also, this movie is a reflection of how people would react towards an event that paralyzes the world. Finally, movies about the destruction of the humanity transmit that most of these events start all of the sudden; In other words, humans are not prepare to deal with it because they did not expect it.…

When I read Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Colombian novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez for the first time, I was initially not impressed by the book. I found the story to be uninteresting and predictable, like something that came from a Spanish soap opera. After reading the first few pages of the book, I already deduced that the man who was murdered in the story was the result of a marriage gone horribly wrong because the bride was not a virgin. That a bride who loses her virginity before marriage is a taboo that still persists in some parts of Latin America. By the time I finished reading the novel, I could not figure out the significance of this book. It was not until I learned more about the role of the characters and what they are supposed to represent, the event Marquez based on the story on, and how his cultural background is…
