Danny Nazzaro Reading Response Paper 3/2/2014 Micah Mintz The Idea of civil forfeiture would seem outdated unless you were part of its sweeping experience. After reading such a story‚ I think it is unfair‚ obscured‚ and a way of America that people do not see. Although it seems ridiculous it does seem to have both negative and positive impacts.

The way of women’s resistances to patriarchy in “The Yellow Wallpaper” Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” is on the surface a mysterious story about a woman suffering from depression to mad‚ but actually‚ it reveals the oppression of women from their patriarchal families.

Chinatown Reading Response The film Chinatown‚ directed by Roman Polanski‚ incorporates the image system of blindness vs. seeing to effectively increase the depth and complexity of how the plot is revealed to the audience. The effect of this is the audience feeling that they are not just watching a film‚ they are solving a mystery in time with the characters and what they see is not always the truth. This image first appears in the form of the bi-focal glasses seen at the very beginning

Reading Response The Short Proof of Evolution Ian Johnston Humanity has watched the cycle of birth and death for generations after generations‚ therefore‚ it is logical for us to conclude that all living things on earth must have a beginning.

Gilman continues her initial description of the wallpaper with images of "...lame uncertain curves..." that "...suddenly commit suicide - plunge off at outrageous angles‚ abolish themselves in unheard of contradictions" (Gilman‚ 43).

Gilgamesh Reading Response Upon finishing the book The Epic of Gilgamesh‚ i believe most people would have some strong feelings about the former king of Uruk. Although the majority of those feelings may include regurgitation‚ anger‚ and despise; I on the other hand would like to argue why Gilgamesh was a good guy. Of course Gilgamesh had his flaws‚ but if you could look past the senseless raping of his own women and the constant fear he placed in the hearts of his own people on a daily
