languages. It is easy to write off The Hunger Games as merely another trend in young adult fiction‚ but it is much more significant than that. There are many ways to interpret the novel‚ but one aspect of it that is impossible to ignore is its feminism. This is so significant because science fiction has been considered an inherently “masculinist” genre for so long. The main character in the novel‚ Katniss Everdeen‚ is not the type of character typically seen in popular science fiction‚ starting with the

Check! Love in the Time of Monsters is a low budget ($500‚000 is considered low budget nowadays) flick about toxic waste pollution gone awry. It’s riddled with groan-inducing moments‚ but I gotta admit‚ I had a fun time with it. It very well could be that Heather Rae Young is smoking hot (the other woman in the movie aren’t bad on the eyes either) and seeing her dance‚ to distract crazed Bigfoots‚ is something that I haven’t seen before‚ but realize was missing from life for a very long time.

Creative Writing (Distant Learning) 21 June 2011 Time of My Life The lashes of my eyelids begin to separate as the light penetrates my vision with each blink. I wake strangely to the tall yellow grass and a slight welcoming breeze across my face. I glance over and see the home I grew up in 20 years ago and wonder is this a dream? The gray paint has faded away and the wood has begun decay. I can still see mama sitting on that porch breading my long black hair into a pair of long ladders with a

Dark Overtones‚ and Their Contrasts in My Antonia In My Antonia by Willa Cather‚ there are many dark overtones that pervade the novel. It is through the use of symbolism and contrast these overtones are made real. The prairie is the predominant setting of the novel. It may be shaped‚ and it conforms to the desires of those working it. The prairie¹s loneliness‚ shown by the wide open spaces‚ is a brilliant way of revealing internal conflict by using a setting. Also‚ it brings out the characters

the “must read” lists of books on the city of Delhi- among which Nayantara Sahgal’s This Time of Morning occupies a pre-eminent position. It belongs to the period of the birth of the nation India and yet another re-birth of the city of Delhi as its capital. Marked by violence and dislocation of the partition on the one hand‚ and establishment of government machinery and national culture on the other‚ study of this period is indispensible to any exploration of Delhi’s foundations and culture.

In Love in the Time of Cholera Garcia-Marquez tells a unjust story of love. The protagonist Florentino Ariza suffers through “fifty-three years‚ seven months‚ and eleven days and nights‚” (Marquez 348) to be happily reunited with the love of his life. For Garcia-Marquez to allow one of his characters to endure such an awful experience he must have had discouraging encounters with love himself. Garcia-Marquez believes that love is an inevitable disease that we will all have to suffer

I believe the main theme in "Of This Time‚ Of That Place"‚ by Lionel Trilling‚ is the writing and understanding of literature by modern students‚ and how it differs from those by past old school’ strategies. Trilling demonstrates this by Joseph Howe’s poems being critiqued by Frederic Woolley‚ the editor of the magazine Life and Letters. In it‚ Woolley condemns Howe’s works‚ compared to those of Thomas Wormser‚ claiming Howe’s works were "insulting" and written with "precious subjectivism" (262)

My love for the game is beyond what it should be. The way I feel when I hit that perfect release. The way I feel when I hit that clutch shot. The way I feel when I get that defensive stop. These moments are what make basketball addictive. Basketball changes dramatically from high school to college. The speed/skill level of basketball in high school and college is very different. In high school basketball is slower. In high school‚ I would go right by defenders. I didn’t think it was easy‚ but I
