Whiplash

As Flashy and Deep as the Man Himself The timeless tale of a man going extraordinary lengths for love is beautifully retold as Jay Gatsby desperately climbs the social ladder for a chance of reaching the unobtainable. Baz Luhrmann’s remake of “The Great Gatsby” is twice as loud and twice as bright as any movie has the right to be, but somehow makes it work. Each scene of the first half walks a fine line between crazy mess and great time, which is the perfect embodiment of what Gatsby’s trying…

Kent Harufs Plainsong is an inspiring novel centered around seven characters and their battles with isolation and hopelessness. Through different accounts in each chapter, you hear of seven people’s day to day struggles and the effects it has on their lives.

Emily Dickinson: A Narrow Fellow in the Grass A Modernist poem written during the age of Romanticism, Emily Dickinson’s A Narrow Fellow in the Grass displays nature in a rather unique and peculiar fashion. The poem itself also delves into several other topics, such as fear, awe, religion, and sex. Throughout the course of the play, a young boy-the narrator of Dickinson’s poem- meticulously describes the sighting of a slithering snake as an encounter with a “narrow fellow in the grass”. The…

couldn’t help but to think of the current battle I am having with recovering from an Uber car accident that happened on January 18th. I felt the guilt being put on me because I decided to go to the hospital room due to feeling incoherent and having whiplash. I still take rideshare on a frequent basis because I commute to paid gigs a lot and a lot of times parking is tripe compared to what a ride share would be for me and the CTA takes at least 1.5 times longer than the Metra or…

Tony has built various types of armor to fight these villains, although it usually winds up destroyed or heavily damaged after each battle. Equipped with repulsors, jet-boots, and a unibeam. The…

pages of a Ripley’s Believe It or Not book, there’s most likely not many instances where you can say you’ve survived a near death experience. After discussing with the Medina police officers the details of where I had been seating or if I felt any whiplash pains (which I did not fortunately), I waited for my dad to pick me up to take me to support my brother’s baseball game, the original destination I was headed to. Luckily for me, my dad brought my biggest mind cleanser tool with him upon…

When it comes to our children we always want the best for them. That means the safest toys, the safest schools, the safest daycares. All these things come in the form or the safest physical things and places in the lives of our children, but what about the one thing many people don’t really take into account? What about our children and our vehicles. This has been a never ending fight. Safety experts, advocates and now federal and state governments are getting involved to help people better…

I am beyond frustrated watching the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee interview Governor Rick Snyder and the EPA official, Ms. McCarthy on C-span. I watched as state government officials, mainly Gov. Rick Snyder, try to toss the EPA advisors under the bus. Between the two of them, they went back and forth playing the blame game. It was as though there was no one taking accountability. The thing that infuriates me beyond all reason is the fact that the Governor is using Michigan…
