Whether your God-given assignment in life seems large or small‚ you can grow into it. A vocal teacher once told Mary Martin‚ the famous American singer‚ that she had an inferior voice and would never make it in the field of music.

He had applied for (and won) an scholarship to study in

Writing for me has not been a wonderful experience‚ from my earliest years in elementary up until my senior year in high school. I was very interested in the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley that my AP English teacher‚ Mrs. McElroy‚ introduced to us my senior year. It was very confusing when I first started reading the novel because of all the details he had on his characters‚ mainly the creature and his creator: Frankenstein. It made me question why he wrote such a novel and how symbolism helped

Oliver Twist (1948) V.S. Oliver Twist By: Charles Dickens Although the David Lean 1948 version of Oliver Twist is very much similar to the Dickens novel there are some clear differences.

In this essay there will be a detailed description of both scenes including the opening and the introduction

Many of the actions that we do in our daily lives are pretty grotesque if you think about it. To live our lives as we do we need to acquire a certain mindset that keeps us from thinking about the facts behind it. In Mary Roach’s Stiff‚ she discusses how people adapt to dealing with cadavers. The way that they deal with cadavers is similar to how we deal with things in our everyday life. Roach often discusses how people that work with cadavers regularly psychologically orientate themselves to accept

First off‚ I like Mary D. Garrard’s opening statement‚ “I will suggest a way of looking at Leonardo’s art that reveals it as indeed abnormal‚ but in social rather than psychological terms.”‚ because like the last week class’s lecture‚ it was very acceptable and tolerable to be flamboyant‚ or in better words‚ have girlish features. I agree with Garrard’s thoughts and her thesis about Leonardo da Vinci’s work. Also‚ Leonardo da Vinci made the women in his paintings as intelligent creature(s)‚ and equal
