“Everything’s bigger in Texas,” a widely known saying, may very well be true when it comes to the size of the state, but is everything in Texas really bigger? Researching the Lone Star state, the second largest state in the nation, Dallas seemed to be the largest city as well as the center of it all; and it also could be used as a good representation of the state’s overall average climate. The Dallas “metroplex is located in North Central Texas, approximately 250 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico” (Dallas/Fort Worth Climatology). To appreciate the large and intricate city, it is valuable to know the climate, vegetation, soils, landforms, and the environmental issues that are present in Dallas, and see how they affect one another. The temperature during the summer months may be “bigger” or higher than your typical state, but exploring deeper into Dallas’s physical geography, will help conjure present what makes up it’s physical attributes, and most importantly, why.…

While Hemingway's short story "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" is usually interpreted as a representation of the conflict between man and aging, it is also a fruitful example of negatively-used social categorization. In the story, the young waiter’s use of person perception is completely offensive to the old man who falls victim. Due to the young waiter’s inability to sympathize with the old man, the waiter grows increasing more rude and cruel as the story continues. In Ernest Hemingway’s “A Clean Well-Lighted Place”, the young waiter designates the old man as undeserving of freedom and life based on the man being elderly, deaf, and alone in the café.…
The old man quite clearly drown his despair by getting drunk every night at the small café, “He’s drunk every night,”. Also he obviously is in a lot of despair “Last week he tried to commit suicide”. This text is relevant to our society today because a lot of people live in despair for multiple different reasons. Some people will have lost a significant connection with someone in their lives of they may have a disability and therefore really struggle to make those connections needed to not be lonely. I think that the author portrayed a clear message by having the two waiters share very different opinions on the old man and his loneliness. “A wife would be no good to him…
In the short story, A Clean Well-Lighted Place, by Ernest Hemingway we see conversation between two waiters that work at an all night cafe. While they are working always every night a deaf drunken suicidal man comes to the cafe to countuin to booze leaving the younger waiter in pure anger because he claims to have more important things to go like go home to his wife than to pour more brandy for man. While on the other hand the older waiter is no rush to leave the cafe because they have no reason to leave and because they believe that everyone is just searching for some meaning in this life of nothing. Even if it’s just a clean well-lighted place to sit.…
The juxtaposition of light and darkness in “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” emphasizes the old waiter’s existential crisis. An existential crisis occurs when a character has a sudden realization or epiphany that life has no inherent meaning or purpose. Feelings of depression, anxiety, and nausea follow the sudden realization. The only way to move past an existential crisis is to act and create meaning and purpose in life. The old waiter experiences this when he realizes he has no wife or family and that he is living without meaning.…
Sitting on the front porch on a beautiful sunny, breezy day. The suns kiss makes skin warm to the touch. When the breeze starts blowing it cools you down making you get goose bumps for a moment. The porch is old and brown. Nobody knows of when the last time it was painted. Nails coming out of the wood, that’s why there are chairs to sit in. There are steps that lead right up to the glass door. Sometimes you might see a curious dog or cat peeking his head out the door trying to get a glimpse of sun. The revelry of neighbors cackling and loud barking of the dogs in the neighborhood is obnoxious. If you listen closely in the trees above are birds chirping away and squirrels running amuck from branch to branch. Occasionally the sound of little…

Feng Shui is a very old tradition to the Chinese. It was developed about 3,000 years ago. Feng Shui is the Chinese art of positioning objects based on a belief in patterns of yin and yang and the flow of chi. Chi is good energy.

Therefore feng shui came to mean good fortune.…
