    In his essay “Cell Phones and Social Graces”, Charles Fisher prevails to achieve his goal; to touch everyone who luckily has the chance to read it. He starts off his essay by listing all the astounding features that cell phones have, alongside the main motivations to own one; however, soon he backs off by changing his paper’s tone to humorous diverting one, and takes a different path with real-life examples, to put the reader’s hands on the drawback impacts of the submissive reliance on cell phones, and how this can cause individuals to use them to a disadvantage.

    We as a society have become so dependent on our phones that without it we begin to feel lost and weak as if it’s a drug. Steve Cutt does a great job of depicting the true meaning of our society through these images or as he calls them the “sad truth“. The imagine that has caught my attention was the one that looked like the zombie apocalypse has taken over, except the zombies were actually us humans and our food supply are our phones (technology). My reaction to this image consisted of agreement and worry that we might actually be in big trouble if we continue to live a life where technology is our most important need rather than being happy with what we have. Instead we are becoming a consumer – driven society what always wants more of…

This goal is achieved through Loring’s depiction of characters that are sad, but loving and funny people with hobbies, people who are not consumed and defined by their residential school experiences but continue to feel its painful influence nonetheless. Loring presents the characters with charming yet heart wrenching humanity to illustrate…

    As long as I can remember, population has always categorized individuals by their skin color, beliefs, traditions, etc. In the article “ One Drop of Blood” by Lawrence Wright, it explains that many people usually do not marry their own race and have children that do not have a race. Parents are most likely to be erroneous when it is time to choose or categorize their own children’s race. This happens because parents do not know whether their children are African American or White. Basically, they do not know what race their children belong to since there is not a multiracial race.…
