Mule

I was completely overwhelmed. We were going to the Grand Canyon! Wow! Nine years old and already having the chance of a lifetime! We were all super-excited, Carina (my twin sister) and I especially, because it was our first time here. Mommy and Daddy had already been here once. But they were still excited, too. “This is really nice weather for the hike,” Mommy commented. “Last time we were here the pollution was so thick you could barely see half as far as you can now. You’re in luck, girls.” We…

Something like George Washington and Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln, he had de whole United States tuh rule so he freed de Negroes. You got uh town so you freed uh mule. You have tuh have power tuh free things and dat makes you lak uh king uh something”(Zora Neale Hurston 58). With her silence she grew stronger, for her it was cautionary and essential to know when it is appropriate to speak and how to use voice to…

“A deck of cards is built like the purest of hierarchies, with every card master to those below it, a lackey to those above it” (Ely Culbertson). Although harmless in the context of a card game, when applied to groups of people this system leads to large scale damage and trauma. America has a long history with this system, and one of many times where it is particularly relevant is in the context of the Harlem Renaissance. In the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, we follow the life of a black…

Skepticism is the theory that people have either no knowledge, or very little knowledge. In this essay I will discuss one particular type of type of skepticism, called “brain-in-a-vat” skepticism, which denies that we can know whether the external world (anything outside our minds) exists as we think it does. I will examine two attacks that have been made on this sort of skepticism, and argue that both fail to defeat it. The brain-in-a-vat skeptic argues that no person knows that his/her body,…

1) In the short story “Wine on the Desert” by Max Brand, the main character of this short story whose name is Durante. Durante expresses the trait of planning before he acts as the book states that Durant would have a twenty-four hour head start before the people find the dead body. This shows that he has most likely planned when he would murder the victim so he would have a maximum time to get escape. Durante also demonstrates the trait of arrogance as he enters Tony's house and drinks Tony's…

The Gulf of Mexico was dark, calm and blue and looked particularly warm. At the high speeds of the clean white boat I could barely see it.We were zooming! The anticipation was gnawing at me I couldn't wait. Based on the Copper Canyon adventures brochure that looked very cheesy the pictures of the environment looked insane and the ziplines even superior. A small mist of water that felt like one of those cheap fans you used on a hot sunny day during baseball games. The mist sprung onto my face…

man in the field. When he was out in the field with Jim Hawkins mule Jenny, Dave was waving the gun around and bragging to Jenny about the damage he could do with the gun. Little did he know, he would end up accidentally shooting Jenny. Once he discovered the bullet wound on her left side, he began to panic and tried to make up stories of how this tragedy occurred. He did not want to take responsibility or admit he injured the mule. Dave came up an extravagant tale to tell his boss on how Jenny…

In the short story, The Man Who was Almost a Man, the author, Richard Wright, demonstrates the theme of craving and wanting power in an extraordinary way. Power can be interrupted in many different ways, as was seen in the story. Although, a lot of times people end up mistaking power, for respect. In addition to that, even though power and respect require similar qualities, they are very different. In the short story, the main character, Dave Sanders expressed that some people create a life of…

appearance, and true love One of the first differences Logan Killicks, Joe Starks, and Tea Cake don’t have in common is Janie’s Treatment. For example, in “Their Eyes Were Watching God” Logan makes Janie work. Janie states “Mah husband is gone tuh buy a mule fuh me tuh plow”(Hurston 29).This quote is saying that…
