He fished for a living, to keep his wife happy, but he was never truly a fisherman. He did not enjoy fishing like the rest of his wife’s family did. His skin was not tough enough as “the salt water irritated his skin as it had for sixty years…and his arms, especially the left, broke out into the oozing saltwater boils”. (paragraph 60) The sun and wind took a toll on his body that the others did not experience. To him, the boat held emotions such as pain, despair and struggle. He would rather be inside, reading and learning, but was instead forced to…

Body envelop violation is one of the major disgust elicitors in “The Fly.” As Rachael Herz points out in “That’s Disgusting,” when the external human form is unusually distorted or mutilated, we experience the emotion of disgust. When we see people have physical deformities or people who are very ugly, we experience the emotion of disgust because they remind us of our animalistic nature – that we are mortal and can be deformed. We are not only disgusted, but are also afraid of our mortality, since the…
Kelsey Timmerman, from rural Ohio, is the author of the book Where Am I Wearing.

In the article, “Student says she was forced to wear an embarrassing outfit after violating the dress code.” written by Rebecca Klein, talks about the unfair dress code policy and the embarrassing punishment that follows. Miranda Larkin, 15, was wearing a skirt that was past her fingertips and just above her knees. She was told that her skirt was ‘too short’ and was sent to the office to change into a school-provided outfit. This outfit was a big, bright yellow t-shirt and red baggy sweatpants that was labeled “Dress Code Violation”. Instantly, Miranda started to bawl and broke out into hives all over her neck-she had to walk around in those clothes for the rest of the day until her mother picked her up from school.…
The poem I chose to write this final reaction paper on is the poem entitled “Perfect Dress” by Marisa de los Santos. I chose this poem because the meaning of it seemed to just jump out at me and it was one of the few poems I thought I actually had a good grasp on.…

Why can’t kids just wear what they want without being in trouble? Kids in schools should not have strict dress codes, but instead they should just have some basic rules. For instance, girls should not have shorts that are shorter than 6 inches. Another rule would be that guys should not have sagging pants. Finally, neither gender should have shirts that show any skin above your waistline. In conclusion, Schools should have dress codes, but they shouldn’t have really strict dress codes.…
Sometimes school forgets to think about the feelings of girls when they tell them that they are violating the dress code. The school administers has been rude about the dress code, and how they address the problem. Teachers has called out girls for their clothing, and they were rude instead of being polite by taking the girl aside and quietly talking to her (“Rosalind Classroom Conversation”). I don’t believe that the teachers are realizing they are being rude about telling the girls that they are violating a dress code, but before they say anything they should stop to think about the appropriate way to address the problem. When the school administrators call out girls for their dress code, the student who is being called out starts to feel…
“I believe in absolute freedom of expression. Everyone has the right to offend and be offended”- Tasima Nasrin. Although freedom of expression is a human right and it is allowed in many different places and through many different mediums, the school system is failing to give that right to the students. Freedom of expression means that a person has the right to offend and to be offended, which makes it understandable why a school might limit freedom of expression. Many staff members do not want any student to be hurt or in pain, which is where the want of censorship comes from.…
