The Clean Out Apprehension overwhelmed me this morning as I entered into a personal clothes clean-out flurry. What if‚ all of a sudden‚ I want to wear the top or jeans I had just ejected from my cupboard? Had I made an immense fashion mistake getting rid of them?

The clothes in my wardrobe bring a mysterious segue … Lately I have been considering the practicality of

When a developing community loses the only clean water they have access to due to an earthquake or other natural disaster‚ the results can be catastrophic. Haiti was crushed‚ as if it was not already underdeveloped enough. The earthquake demolished much of the farm land‚ which removed many jobs from the agricultural field. A new wave of technology‚ known as aquaculture‚ has

compelling backdrop to Ofelia’s journey. One symbol that stood out to me is the Labyrinth described in the movie. The labyrinth is a symbol of Ofelia’s confusing and dangerous path to reuniting with her dead father in the other realm. An example of irony in the film would be how dark the story is. The plot focuses on fairy tales which are

As I stated in one of the discussion forums‚ Gregor might have always been an insect‚ and this occurred long before he was introduced to the reader. Is it absurdity or irony that Gregor is not showing any concern about his so-called transformation? In fact‚ everyone else within the story seems to change. His sister grows from a child to a young woman that is ready to be married. Gregor’s parents adapt and change their roles to accommodate their son’s situation. In contrast‚ Gregor’s mind remains

In response to the “Lesson in Irony” presented by the author I would have to disagree with his or her opinion. I do not think the author correctly reflects poverty in America.

To me it comes across that the author is using sarcasm to get their point across rather than looking at the realities of
