HAVE YOU READ A NEWSPAPER? ABSTRACT Have you ever wondered; why we find the lead story in the farthest upper-right hand column?

What television news bring is primarily a front-page headline service only. To get all one needs to know‚ one has to amplify these headlines with a complete account of the news from a well-edited

You have been asked to choose at least 3 poems of Adrienne Rich’s for an anthology. What poems would you choose and why? I’ve studied Rich’s poetry for my Leaving Certificate and have really enjoyed learning them.

I chose these poems since they are personally my favourites. However‚ I also

She would have been a good woman . . . if it had been someone there to shoot her every minute of her life." The second quote is from “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor

Living in Minooka has been beneficial to me in many ways that I sometimes do not even realize. To begin‚ most of my family resides in Minooka and they have been since my mother was in high school. It is a comfortable feeling knowing that if I ever need anything I have my family close by. Being so close allows us to visit each other frequently and have that family time‚ which I personally believe is important. I am forever grateful that most of my family resides here in Minooka because of the opportunities

And in this race of life there are to be many obstacles and sharp turns to come and bring us down. Opportunities and challenges will come and pass.

Day by day everything becomes so familiar that sometimes he may have a feeling that even a household object is somehow similar to his personality. What if a witch suddenly appeared and made him choose a household object to be turned into? In my case‚ I would choose to be a knife. The explanation for my choice is divided into 2 parts: the first one is about spending time getting used to something or someone‚ and the

The character in “where are you going‚ where have you been?” Connie is affected by the role she plays in modern society. Fifteen year old Connie has the confusing‚ often exterior behavior typical of those girls who are facing the difficult transition from girlhood to womanhood in the 1960s.

Should someone pose the same question to me that I have asked of you‚ I would never hesitate to talk about the most important person in my life‚ my mother.

I did not realize until much later that he did not know several foreign
