Time Magazine
Before the history of TIME, the news has served knowledgeable, comical and

critical, ‘hot off the press’ information to countless human beings. However, it was when

two journalists decided to contribute a twist. Their impartial views on the latest reports

allured those hungry knowledge, and satisfied the literate audience. TIME magazine was

founded by Mr. Britton Hadden and Mr. Henry Luce in the 1920’s. Both founders first

became close companions by writing and editing the school paper at Hotchkiss School in

Connecticut. The two eventually enrolled into Yale University, enlisted in the

Reserve Officer Training Corps, and became, “[…] reporters for The Baltimore News”

(time.com). Having raised enough money, Hadden and Luce resigned from their job and

invested in making their own iconic periodical. On March 3, 1923, the first TIME

magazine published. It used to be “[…] summarized and organized the news so that

“busy men" could stay informed” (time.com). The magazine’s typical content used to

expose topic ranging from heated court cases to business and leisure. Modern day TIME

delivers the latest current events from entertainment to world happenings, suitable for all

genders, ages of eighteen and up.

TIME magazine has currently reached an estimate of 3,286,314 paid American

subscribers (timemediakit.com). That impressive number does not to amount to how

many are purchased on magazine stands, coffee shops, as well as those sold

internationally. With each weekly publication, TIME magazine depicts its own touch to

stand out amongst the rest. The fifth edition of the year 1927 was where it all

commenced. The iconic red line that borders the front cover “symbolizes a bold, even

arrogant idea. Everything inside that red border is worth knowing, and whatever is

outside of it, well, not so much” (Stengel). TIME magazine portrays their pictures on

almost the entire 64-paged periodical

    In this quote, Chief Bromden says, “I been silent so long it’s going to roar out of me like floodwaters and you think the guy telling this is ranting and raving my God; you think this is too horrible to have really happened, this is too awful to be the truth! But, please. It’s still hard for me to have a clear mind thinking on it. But it’s the truth even if it didn’t happen.”(Act 1 32) Chief Bromden, a long-term patient in Nurse Ratcheds psychiatric ward, narrates the events of the novel. The novel begins as he awakes to a typical day on the ward, feeling paranoid about the nighttime activities of the wards three black aides. We are given this brainteaser from chief Bromden. The reader has already gotten a glimpse of Bromden’s paranoia, from the novels opening lines, as well as a sense that he is not seeing things from an everyday perspective. For example, Bromden describes Nurse Ratched transforming into a huge machine, and he has to be sedated when the aides try to shave him and he starts screaming, “Air Raid”. In this story, he claims himself not only the narrator, but the author. He has an important story to tell, even though it’s going to be hard for him. The last line of this quote is Bromden’s request that the reader have an open mind. His hallucinations imply that the audience shouldn’t believe everything he says in the novel. In my opinion, I believe that Bromden regains sanity, but he still witnesses many events while he is hallucinating.…

    Sameer Pandya’s The Picture for Men: Superhero or Slacker, Stefan Babich’s The Fall of the Female Protagonist in Kid’s Movies and Amanda Marcotte’s The Shocking Radicalism of Brave all expresses a tone of opposition to the issue of gender gap. They specifically focus on the media especially in movies and cartoons where men are most times the prevailing character and superheroes while women are helpmates and trophies to be won by them. This is an obvious trend and I indisputably agree with this resentment.…

    “Within the diamond haze of the beach something dark was fumbling along. Ralph saw it first and watched till the intentness of his gaze drew all eyes that way. Then the creature stepped from mirage on to clear sand, and they saw that the darkness was not all shadow but mostly clothing. The creature was a party of boys, marching approximately in step in two parallel lines and dressed in strangely eccentric clothing." (Golding 1954, Ch.1, p.19)…

    Neil Shah wrote this article which briefly covers the topics of unemployment and the natural unemployment rate. The way our economy has been on a downward slope has led to the need to write about the natural unemployment rate. There are more and more people losing their jobs. Not only do they lose their jobs, but the longer that they are out of the job market, the more uninterested future employees are at hiring them, thus putting them out for a long period of time. The article focuses on how the natural rate was 5%, but has increased more recently. It tries to determine what the underlying cause of the increase is. The natural rate is healthy because it leaves room for the ebb and flow of the economy. However, increasing this natural rate only means that there are more people than should be out of work. Neil Shah believes that the reason for the higher rate of unemployment is due to a weak demand for workers. The main issue with the higher unemployment rate is that the higher it gets, the Federal Reserves would like to join in an effort to help the economy, but by doing so it leaves a risk for a higher inflation.…

    The Playboy of the Western World gains its title from the scene in which Christy can't be beaten in play at any of the village sports, hence he becomes the "playboy." The phrase "of the Western World" leads the way into Synge's theme of Irish mythmaking, then still especially noticeable in unsophisticated peasant groups. With the inclusion of this phrase, the myth of the playboy encompasses the whole world. Mythmaking deviates from reality, as is made clear by the stretch of the title: Irish village game championship can't possibly trump an entire world of athletes. Synge isn't discussing a universal theme but rather exposing a particularly Irish theme, that of mythmaking.…
