On a bright summer's morning, a sun-loving girl walked up to a hill surrounded by vast plains as she usually did on bright Saturdays. Only this time, there was a man on the hill. Near the hill were four glass bottles, and another bottle was on the hill with the man. It seemed as if the bottle had a beam of light filling it. Then, the man put a cork on the bottle and walked down the hill to grab another. As he did this, he glanced at the girl. The girl ran away, afraid.
The following Saturday, the girl, though still afraid, was overcome by an impulse to run to the hill and drink up all the glorious sun because there was more sun than before. So, she did. Again, the man was there, except this time he had ten bottles. He was filling yet another one when again he saw her. This time, she was so curious, she let her mouth get ahead of her, and she asked, "Who are you, and what are you doing?"
"I'm a Sun-catcher, and I'm catching the sun," the man replied.
"How?" Her mind was enveloped in curiosity, and so it agreed with her

    All composers hold a mirror to what they consider to be the key aspects of their perception of our common humanity. Through Benh Zeitlin’s Beasts of the Southern Wild, Cormac McCarthy’s The Road and Julian Barnes’ The Sense of an Ending, it is apparent that each composer perceives our common humanity in a different light. These compositions are set in a time nearing the end of life as humankind apprehends it to be, thus creating high levels of uncertainty and unrest within society. It is under these conditions that the audience is able to comprehend the different ways in which each composer discerns our common humanity.…

    The poem "Theme for English B", by Langston Hughes is written in 1951, before the civil rights movement. Throughout the poem, Hughes is very nonchalant as he discusses the theme of racism as well as what it means to be "free". As he discusses race many think he is very "soft" when there was much to be angry about during this time period. I believe the poem is still very effective and the fact that he does not display anger makes it even more significant. Even though he is not angry, he does display other emotions throughout the piece because Langston Hughes writes in a unique style.…

    The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby is a memoir that tells readers about Bauby’s life after, and some memories before, he had a stroke. He was the editor-in-chief of French Elle, who suffered from a stroke at the age of forty-three that leaves him paralyzed. Unfortunately, he suffers from “locked-in syndrome” until he passed away. Throughout the memoir, Bauby still uses many different types of figurative language, especially symbols and metaphors, and can still find the irony in certain situations, considering he composed it with just the use of blinking his left eye. It shows that imagination isn’t always lost in times of hardship and it can help readers gain some insight through the author’s point of view.…
