The writer of this book did everything she could to research this book by actually going to live in shelters, sneaking into cargo holds, and learning about horse trailers. She got her idea from to book “Sammy Keys and the Sisters of Mercy.” The tone is both bitter and cynical because the author says how bad Holly has it which is bitter and cynical which makes the tone just that.…
Sheila Kromholz article “Campaign Cash and Corruption: Money in Politics, Post-Citizens United” describes the influence campaign contributions have on politicians. Kromholz begins the article by detailing the reasons why campaign donations are influential. Kromholz then follows that up by explaining the results that influence has had of the political system. This article was useful for my topic because it provides an explanation for why money has a large influence in politics. Kromholz explains how spending in political campaigns have been increasing over time, with the most of the spending done by PACs, making politicians more dependent on donations to win. The article also explains how the influence of money affects polity. Kromholz brings…
Active in politics, Winchester served as the Commissioner of New Haven City and Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut from 1866-1867. When Winchester died in 1880, he willed the ownership of the Company to his only son, William Winchester, who later died in March of the next year of tuberculosis. The ownership then went to William's wife, Sarah, who believed that the family was cursed by the many spirits that have been killed by the Winchester rifles. She later moved to California where she began to build a chaotic mansion ("Biography of Oliver Winchester"). All of the rooms consisted of the number thirteen. There were thirteen steps to every room, thirteen windows, and the rooms were 13' by…

Katherine Bourzac, in her article “A Smarter Prosthetic for the Eye” (2012), explains to readers that new prosthetics for the eye could reverse vision loss in some people with a simple implant. She supports this claim by explaining the technology and how it “combines infrared video-projection goggles with a small, wire-free chip implanted inside the retina” then by stating “[the implants] might restore more vision than other retinal prosthetics being worked on” (1). Bourzac’s purpose is to inform readers about the exciting upcoming technology for people with vision loss in order to show readers that there is a way to get vision back, showing the positive influences of retinal prosthetics on society.

Katelyn Rabak performed, “History Lesson,” which was about a woman who was giving her last tour at Mount Rushmore, after her boyfriend had told her she was fired. Katelyn’s voice carried very nicely this time. Also, her beats were more defined, and differentiated. However, Katelyn has a tendency to fall into a certain inflection pattern from time to time. In regards to what we learned this unit, she used the 90-to-10 rule very well, and she positioned her imaginary partners downstage (and in a way that made sense). I wished she worked on her “need” more. She did very well at spewing out odd facts that would surprise people, but I didn’t feel like she was trying to get a reaction from them that would backfire on the touring company. To make the monologue more humorous, she could’ve added more physical gestures, and those would’ve helped her vary the moments. Overall, I believe that Katelyn had a solid performance, she just needs to push herself more so that she’s not just scratching the surface.…
The nature of existence in the Kingdom of the Dead is dissimilar to the Christian ideal of heave; the Kingdom of the Dead is a dismal place to be. Odysseus describes them as “shambling, shiftless dead” (p. 251). Existing in the Kingdom of the Dead is not a pleasing affair. People exist in death exactly how they died; the “men of war” are still wearing the bloody armor they died in (p. 250). The dead seem to be able to remember who they are, but they are not able to speak until Odysseus allows them to touch or “approach” the blood Odysseus spilt from the sheep (p. 254). Once they do so, the dead can only speak the truth (p. 254). If Odysseus were to ignore them, they would fade away (p. 254). To reach the dead, Odysseus uses milk and honey,…
The grave is the story of a young girl named Miranda who goes exploring and hunting with her brother Paul, one afternoon. Upon trespassing onto private property that their family had sold, and inspecting some empty gravesites, both Paul and Miranda find hidden treasures inside the empty earth. Both had something the other sibling admired, Paul a thin, golden ring and Miranda a silver dove. After trading their discovered items, and returning to their hunt, the reader is able to see more clearly the change that takes place in Miranda. Initially seen as a boyish young girl, unconcerned with behaving in a feminine mannerism, we see her transform after putting the beautifully designed ring on her finger. The central idea of “The Grave” is that people live up to the expectations placed on them, by both others and themselves.…

Katherina in Taming of the Shrew is short-tempered, caring and witty. She is very ill-tempered as shown from the quote, “I pray you, sir, is it your will to make a stale of me amongst these mates?” (I, 1, 57). In this quote, Katherina is yelling at her father in public. She is upset that Baptista is forcing her to marry someone. This shows how Katherina is short tempered because she yells and loses control very easily. Katherina is also caring. In the play, Katherina says to Petruchio, “Let me entreat you.” (III, 2, 173). She says this as he decides to leave their wedding dinner. Although she has a tough exterior, deep down she is a caring person. Furthermore, this quote also shows that she is submissive, especially…
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…

Much of the narrator's personality is revealed in the cemetery. The reader learns that he knew the truth about her, but that after she died, he only thought good things about her. He did not reflect on the horrible things he knew she did to him, but rather on the strong love he felt for her. This shows us how great his love for her was and how he could forgive and forget the things she did to him. This also shows that he wished that they could have been together longer and that he still loved her, even after what she did to him. Since the reader learns that he knew about his wife, but did not confront her while she was alive, shows us that he was in denial because his love for her was so strong. The ghosts' that the narrator sees in the cemetery are actually…
