Edward Hopper’s painting “Office at Night” creates a psychological puzzle in the viewers mind. It appears as if the man is the boss of the woman‚ who seems to be his secretary. The way the man and woman are both positioned in the picture suggests that either the woman has asked the man and question and she is waiting for a response‚ she is expecting him to give her a new order‚ or she is standing by just to see what he will say or do next. Either way many viewers will interpret their actions differently

Night‚ by Elie Wiesel‚ is a book narrating the harsh conditions Elie and his father went through in concentration camps‚ Auschwitz and Buchenwald‚ during the Holocaust. After reading and viewing many texts‚ I find Night to be of the most valuable based on it being historically important‚ Wiesel’s strong use of pathos‚ as well as making the audience see something that they haven’t considered before. The foremost merit for which this piece of text is valuable is the history it portrays. Because the

It is 8:30 on Halloween night as I am walking down the long streets of Clinton hearing nothing but children screaming‚ cars beeping‚ and leaves crackling beneath my feet in the cold‚ fall night. I turn the corner and see college kids and parents laughing by the Tavern as they exit the building. Making my way down the street with my friends by my side‚ cars are zooming by us like a school of fish swimming to get away from sharks.

Racism In Our Society People in our society tend too have racist habits towards people that are African American‚ Asian‚ East Indian etc. They get treated differently not only because of their skin color but also how they talk and what they wear.

I bet all of you have judged somebody

Meeting at Night Robert Browning The grey sea and the long black land; And the yellow half-moon large and low; And the startled little waves that leap In fiery ringlets from their sleep‚ As I gain the cove with pushing prow‚ And quench its speed i’ the slushy sand. Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach; Three fields to cross till a farm appears; A tap at the pane‚ the quick sharp scratch And blue spurt of a lighted match‚ And a voice less loud‚ thro’ its joys and fears‚ Than the two hearts beating
