“Just get better…” I hope she can see how, though I can only continue to stare into her despairing gaze, how my eyes are softening and tears are beginning to cloud them. I hope she can’t see my hands starting to fist in defiance or my jaw starting to…
Americans have become hypnotized by the trend of lawsuits. If an individual can find anyway to sue then a lawsuit will occur. David Zinczenko introduces this concept in his article, "Don't Blame the Eater." He states that many frequent eaters of fast food are beginning to sue the corporations because they are now considered obese due to the food served to them at the fast food restaurant. I am of two minds about David Zincenzko’s claim that fast food corporations are to blame for obesity in America. On the one hand, I agree that the combination of affordability and availability vs. healthy alternatives and the lack of nutritional information and have been considered a major cause of obesity in America. On the other hand, I’m not sure if the…
Her body goes completely rigid, eyes clearing as they finally see me. Her body slumps onto the dirt once more, dropping the stone with a keen ‘ting’. Sobs rack her body until nothing but whimpers can be heard. I edge forward to her, feebly shuffling. It takes an age even with her right in front of me.…
The title of the poem “To Hell and Back, with Cake” is exactly what the young girl in goes through to get cupcakes, a desirable treat or reward. The poem has a lot to do with racism and discrimination. It is written in first person and as a narrative with many different poetic techniques such as alliteration, sibilance, oxymoron, personification etc. Holmes offers very vivid and descriptive details explaining what these cupcakes mean to this little girl. Being the reader, you can almost smell the cupcakes with the visuals the author gives. Holmes uses many different metaphors and similes leading this poem to be a very emotional and dramatic poem. The tone of the poem goes from happy and joyful to sad and angry. The little girl has her mouth watering for these vanilla and chocolate cupcakes yet the cruel and racist bakery lady diminishes her desire for black and white cupcakes, since that is all the bakery had.…

Men desired her and women courted her friendship. They always had. Somehow, for many years I had been the source of her happiness, but now when I turn and look at I her I merely see all the pain I have caused. As she sniffles in beat to my crying, I see the rawness in her tears, like her pain is an open wound.…

It can be hard to establish your identity when you feel different from those around you…
Then it hit me, what if she dosen’t like me anymore, what if she thinks I look ugly, what if she thinks I am weird. Couldn’t wait to see her, but I still couldn’t stop thinking about what was going to happen I had butterflies in my stomach. We pulled up into her driveway I thought I was going to pee in my pants. We saw her mom waiting in the garage.…
I know your face. I can see it in old family photos whenever I want and I try to remember looking into your eyes, but I can’t. It doesn’t matter. It happened. I know it did.…
I began the breaking of my social norm at my locker. I decided to walk from my locker to my science class backwards and I had my friend (Rory) watch people’s reactions since I was no longer facing forward. I walked down two long hallways before reaching the door and walking past…
In Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet Juliet is portrayed as an immature teenager. Although she shows signs of maturity, it is overshadowed by her childish behaviour. To begin, Juliet is impatient throughout the play. For example, when Nurse returned home and had news about Tybalt’s death Juliet kept pestering Nurse for information. The Nurse was attempting to speak, but whilst trying to explain that Tybalt was dead Juliet became irate, and impatient with the Nurse saying:…
