The Gateway Arch is an arch that stretches 630 feet high and 630 feet long in St. Louis Missouri.

Many people would argue that Gerald wasn’t really responsible for Eva’s death. He gave her attention, helped her financially and took her from the streets and sheltered her. From the start, Gerald felt guilty as soon as he heard the name “Daisy Renton”, Eva’s second identity. “Alright, I knew her. Let’s leave it at that”.…
I first picked up Highly Illogical Behavior at the recommendation of Mrs. Bock. I had never read a book with a protagonist who had a mental illness that was present in the behavior and the overall plot proceedings throughout the novel. I usually tend to stay within the genres that I am familiar with - romance and realistic fiction. Most of the books that I read are about how a man and a woman fall in love in spite of emotional and physical strife. Highly Illogical Behavior, however, was about a man who had such severe social anxiety that he developed agoraphobia, thus rendering him incapable of leaving his house.…

In the short story “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver, the narrator uses sight to make himself feel superior to Robert as he is threatened by Robert's ability to make deep connections however, this hinders the narrator's ability to connect with people as he is not able to see below their superficial attributes. Because of his insecurity and lack of understanding, the narrator is constantly criticizing and making Robert, the blind man, feel inadequate. This is because the narrator feels threatened by Robert’s ability to make meaningful relationships with people. The narrator expresses his insecurities by obsessing over his“ wife’s word, inseparable (Carver, 88)” when she described Robert’s marriage, as the narrator knows deep down his relationship…
After reading the Grand Canyon University (GCU) doctrinal statement and Christian Identity and Heritage, I have a greater understanding of what the school stands for. I personally choice this school because many colleagues at my job attend GCU and I heard positive things about the university but I did not know it had a strong Christian faith and background. The GCU Christian heritage makes GCU academic experience different because of the strong belief. They believe in something and believing in something is a good thing.…
The Rothko Chapel, located in Houston, Texas, presents a deceptively simple exterior. The ungarnished brick walls lack intrigue or grandeur, the doorway is simply a means of entrance rather than a spectacle, yet over 55,000 visitors are drawn to the location every year (YouTube). The sanctuary inside is just as plain, aside from fourteen imposing murals created by the chapel’s namesake, Mark Rothko. They adorn bare walls, constantly shifting appearance with the light cast from the chapel’s skylight (Dowell). They seem to be the only lively aspects of an otherwise static place.…
One in every one-hundred-eighty-nine women have autism compared to every one in forty-two men. This means there in a 4.5 times more chance for men to get autism. Considering it unusual for women to have autism is rather correct. Temple Grandin is one of these women, but she didn't let this stop her. Temple Grandin has left an impact on the world through the cattle industry, her speeches on overcoming autism, and her compassion for any and everything she does.…
I couldn’t imagine all of the pain and suffering Gerald must have felt losing aunt queen, especially in the way she died. If I ever walked in my house and seen someone I loved and cared about lying out on the floor, I will feel depressed and astounded. Unlike Monique, when she heard that her mother died, it seems she didn’t show any emotions . She only cared about Gerald moving in with her and her abusive boy friend, Jordan. I never really liked Jordan, especially the way he acted towards Aunt queen when he appeared in the fifth chapter.…

ABSTRACT The awareness of the beliefs of Jehovah’s Witness’s in India is very poor.…
The Art Museum as Ritual is an article written by Carol Duncan that questions the role and function of public museums. In this article, Duncan shows his dissatisfaction with the way museums use objects of art to come up with particular political meanings aimed at achieving a certain purpose. According to her, some nations came up with western style museums to be perceived as having desirable diplomatic or political allies. This essay summarizes the main ideas in the article by Carol Duncan, highlights my visit to a museum and analyzes two works of art stored in the museum.…
Through awareness, we create change, and sometimes it takes an unforeseeable encounter with a peculiar individual, to ignite our awareness, and educate our perception. It’s up to us to accept the awareness and allow the change or to be aware and avoid the change. The Narrator in “Cathedral”, by Raymond Carver, experiences awareness through Robert, the blind man. Similarly, Victor in “This is What it Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona”, by Sherman Alexie, finds realization, through the company of Thomas, a childhood friend.…
After reading about the life of Temple Grandin, there are three things of which I am presently aware. The first, is that, the many diverse causes and symptoms of autism are stigmatized in mainstream culture. This includes the severity and frequency of these occurrences. Secondly, regardless of the specific conditions, autism almost always effects the same three characteristics of the brain. These are, feelings towards others, communication, and imagination.…
