    The episode “Hush” is one of the most critically acclaimed episodes in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series. This episode from the fourth season of the series lacked an in-depth dialogue but rather used imagery and other literary elements for support. This lack of dialogue conveys a symbolic meaning throughout the episode through the interactions between the main characters. The interactions between Tara and Willow, Riley and Buffy, and Xander and Anya all have a symbolic meaning which supports the theme of the episode. The episode “Hush” symbolizes that, ironically, expressing feelings can be more readily done without forced communication.…

    J.D. Salinger wanted to make a statement about the vulnerability of innocence as well as highlight the struggles a teenager faces when confronted with his future. He does this by creating a character currently dealing with a quarter life crisis; Holden has no clue what he’s going to do with his life, is severely depressed and is in constant conflict with growing up and adulthood. Holden Caulfield is confronted with an unfair challenge; like most modern youths, at the tender age of 16 he faces the the impossible choice of what he’ll do in life. First of all, it is cruel and immoral for him to be dealt with this issue as he is still stuck in a child-like mindset and even references how people his age are “practically children” (Salinger 147).…

    Some would say bullying is a negative topic that can be hard to stop. Bullying can be defined as “Repeated aggressive behaviours that are intended to cause harm to a victim with relatively less power to defend themselves” (Faucher et al. 112). It presents itself as an issue from an early age(such as Kindergarten or Pre-Kindergarten) all the way up to bullying even in the workplace (such as hazing or even cyberbullying). It is a problem that only worsens as the ages climb and can become even suicidal if it gets too severe.…

    The first poem, “Ode to Browsing the Web,” written by Marcus Wicker describes how people can live in two opposite worlds. One world being addicted to the Internet and the other world before the Internet was created. Rather than before, “spraying aerosol lines on warehouse walls in words I cannot comprehend” we are now writing on Facebook walls, blogs, and exposing our personal business to anyone (Wicker, 2013). “Heartbeat I’ve been told the Internet is an unholy place, an endless intangible stumbling ground of false deities” could refer to the endless possibilities of pornography, websites that allow married individuals to find another, or even placing the Internet above your beliefs (Wicker, 2013). Rather than spend time with family and friends,…

    Salinger shows his attentiveness toward the rhythms of speech by using italics quite frequently in order to let the reader know when a character is placing emphasis on a word, or even on just a syllable, in dialogue. The emphasis of a single syllable shows a realism to the dialogue of The Catcher in the Rye rarely seen not only in the works of Salinger?s time, but also before and after it. Salinger?s emphasis on the rhythm of speech is mirrored in his emphasis on the rhythm of thought, which, in turn, emphasizes the importance of both. Salinger uses paragraph breaks not only to change from one subject to another, but also to accentuate certain thoughts. In another demonstration of his literary brilliance, Salinger shows that he knows the human mind by using shorter paragraphs for more important matters.…
