The book From The Land of Shadows by Khatharya Um made me think if people really believed to the communist party and their propaganda or if they were just scared to stand up against them. The book talks about revolutions and how some movements were trying to fight against the regime‚ but they were usually not successful and lots of people were killed during revolutions. Did it result in resignation and accepting the life based on the communism ideals or people were really persuaded by the politic

In the poem “Mirror” Sylvia Plath reflects the way society puts pressure on the way you look and can destroy you. “Mirror” is a poem told in first person by the reflection in the mirror. I believe that the mirror‚ the lake‚ and the woman are all one. She is judging herself the whole time through different objects‚ talking as if she is the mirror‚ the woman‚ and the lake. Sylvia Plath proves her point in the first stanza by describing how she feels about herself through the mirror. Plath describes

I sat down on the park bench by the Mirror Lake that was closest to the fountain. Even though nobody was sitting on the seven foot long bench‚ I sat on one corner occupying the minimum amount of space possible. Only after sitting on the wooden bench I realize that the bench was still slightly wet from previous night’s heavy rain. Though autumn had stripped away the youthful leaves of deciduous trees around the lake‚ it brought a strange nostalgic beauty to the campus. Dry and crispy fallen leaves

Self-hatred can ruin your life if you let it control your thoughts and actions. This is one of the many themes in “Mirror Image” and I think it is the most important. Humans have a tendency to dislike themselves and only see their faults. The first sentence‚ “If only there were no mirrors” talks about how she doesn’t actually want to see how she looks and that life would be easier without seeing how you look all the time. Alice had a brain transplant and since she has a different body she has started

I can honestly say that Hillary Clinton’s political ad‚ “Mirrors”‚ works very well in that it clearly expresses the message that Donald Trump does not have the highest respect for women. This ad features many young women looking at themselves in the mirror while demeaning comments play in the background and it ends with an interviewer asking Trump‚ "Do you treat women with respect?" and him answering with‚ " I can’t say that either." I don’t support either side‚ as they’re both drastically flawed

said Singapore’s Senior Minister of State for Education Indranee Rajah in a 2013 parliament session when questioned about the ‘shadow education system’ and its social impact. An analysis on the growing need for private tuition reveals a challenge facing Singapore’s policymakers: to continually defend the effectiveness of its education system or to acknowledge the ‘shadow education system’. Ms Indranee believes that the current education system in Singapore is sufficient and that it is counter-productive
