Obviously‚ what was once “normal” is not considered as such now days. The inconsistence of what that term means‚ is what creates the paradox in the importance society grants it. “Normality” is a concept that contains a human necessity which is communicated

In Response to Andrew Sullivan’s What are Homosexuals For? With the modern world’s hyper-sensitive awareness of race and gender and religion and sexual preferences and politics and‚ well‚ everything‚ making a few misplaced generalizations is inevitable.

Poe’s “The Black Cat” Short Response Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Black Cat” can be considered a horror story as well as a study in human psychology.

Although the narrator appears to show some

Gatsby never goes to war Instead of going to war and leaving Daisy --- Daisy and Gatsby
