If I told you that a blob of ink can determine your personality, would you believe me? According to “What’s in an inkblot? Some Say, Not Much” by Erica Goode, the Rorschach inkblot test is a psychological test that asks the reader to interpret what they see in order to determine a person's personality or tendencies. The people who agree and disagree with the use of the Rorschach test are similar in that they both use evidence to support their claims, but the people who agree with it use a great deal of scientific support while the people who disagree with its uses, claim it’s not useful and it’s scientifically useless. Others will prove or disprove the use of the Rorschach test and its validity.…

In “The Future is Now,” Joel Achenbach exposes our inability to foresee the next big thing in science and technology. Achenbach refers to the internet as being an entity that was not foreseen. Within a relatively short period of time the internet has forever changed the way in which we live our lives. We buy, shop, learn, and enjoy entertainment differently since the inception of the internet.

Li-Young Lee’s, “The Gift” unquestionably communicates several ideas, some rather direct, and others buried within the rhetoric and composition of the poem. Although the meaning (of the poem) may be left to interpretation, one of the most prominent concepts of the story, in my belief, is the gift of love and consequent tradition of offering it to loved ones. In the beginning of the poem, the narrator describes his father comforting him in the painful situation of removing a metal splinter from his hand: “My father recited a story in a low voice. I watched his lovely face and not the blade.” The father’s calm and affectionate demeanor can be further attested to in the second stanza, “...I recall his hands, two measures of tenderness, he laid…
Recently I have read the book Unwind, by Neal Shusterman. It takes place in the future, where there is an abundance of children and over population. Because of this issue, the government decided to create a law saying that you can get your child between the ages of thirteen and eighteen “unwound.” This means that a medical professional can surgically remove your body parts, while you’re still alive, but you never feel a thing. This also means that you are alive in pieces.…
The Arrival The arrival by Shaun Tan is inspirational. In the book, there is a sequence in images that leave readers with suspense on what these pictures may indicate.

There is a language of silence told in graphics that makes you wonder, what does the picture mean and is it important?…

Most of the American history serves a great deal of pride, acknowledgement, and importance to its culture. Spreading democracy and liberty all over the world yet forgetting some part of the history full of abusement, racisms, and evil. The novel, Between The World And Me, written by Ta-Nehisi Coates, who is know for expressing black culture by writing novels, talks about some of this history. In his novel, he confesses all the fears filled in black Americans’ body in a letter that he writes to his fifteen year old son. When I first learned about the history of African Americans, I was shocked and I wanted to know even more about their culture and their backgrounds since, my culture is different from theirs.
