They are almost sacred. “Security comes from knowing one’s place within the prevailing kinship; within the community. (Sekaquaptewa 45)” People have a responsibility to preserve history and as such keep it alive. If history repeats itself the people have every chance to change it if the stories, images and past are…

Big Brother Narrative Stress is something that most every human comes into contact with at some point in their lives. Stress is better known as pressure, or tension exerted on a material object.

Based on predominantly sex, gender, and race, stereotypes are undoubtedly present in our society today. Rappers are stereotypically associated with money, drugs, women, and occasionally violence. Rap/hip-hop artist Logic is relatively new to the hip-hop/rap scene, but differentiates himself from this stereotype through his lyricism and concept. His second album, “The Incredible True Story”, dicates a meaningful story sequentially from tracks one to eighteen. He developed a story about Earth’s nuclear destruction and how the remaining 5,000,000 people relocate to a space station in 2065 after which the two narrators of the audio-cinematic experience, Thomas, the pilot, and Kai, an infantryman, take a journey through the galaxy to discover an inhabitable planet called Paradise.…
The narrator’s presentation of the events is unreliable and uncreditable. This is because, the narrator is unreliable because, he is too unsophisticated. According to the article, “The Outsider”, “I must have lived years in this place, but I cannot measure the time.” This shows that the narrator can’t tell time so, there is no way to no how much time has gone by in any of the events that happens. The narrator says that he can’t remember most of his life.…
This, incidentally, was the exact question that brought me to the CHM. Once the money became available, the CHM brought on a staff of students tasked with figuring this out. While the students were making headway and helping to create a snapshot of the archives that would be useful and helpful to the museum moving forward, they lost their funding before the project was complete.…

Entering the double-doors to start my 11th grade year evoked different emotions than had previous first days of school. The commencement of my freshman and sophomore years were nerve wracking, of course, yet an underlying excitement to see friendly faces had maintained my spirits. However, as a junior, my classmates were now off in their AP and honors classrooms, and I, in a state of ambivalence, was embarking on a new challenge: the International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme. My integration into this community, honestly, took a prolonged amount of time.…
Both articles, “Meanings and Functions in Chinese Landscape Painting” and “Narrative Framing,” analyze how the composition of the paintings show a specific purpose. In the former article, it explains how the paintings were used to commemorate someone leaving a village or place work. They also have pieces that were to celebrate someone’s retirement or even their fantasy of retiring. Many of these pieces were painted by “amateurs,” otherwise known as scholar-amateurs. Who were full-time scholars who painted as a hobby for themselves and colleagues.…
The Ugly Truth Sometimes the truth is better hidden than known. Sexual intercourse can arguably be one of the greatest gift by God. However, when it is abused and used to hurt others it becomes an immoral act.

Well, a man is a man, and I wouldn't be if I hadn't, you're right," Duke replied with a teasing smirk, almost confusing himself in the process as he struggled to find an appropriate retort. Saying something was better than nothing at all, which was sometimes how he found himself around the woman; almost speechless; especially when she returned his banter with more force than what he'd issued it. That was a occurence the man definitely wasn't used to. Most other women would simply roll their eyes, huff in annoyance, or giggle like immature schoolchildren, caught off guard and flattered by his attentions. Not this one,…
I walked into the room unsure of how my English teacher was going to be like. I really wanted one who was really funny, laid back, but still serious. When I walked in, I gave a quick scan of the room and saw no one; I guess I was the first one. But then I looked in the corner of a desk, a dull mousy haired woman was at the teachers desk, but she was cowering towards the corner as if she was afraid of everything around her. I didn’t know what I felt about her.…

The purpose of this paper is to examine Walter Besant’s lecture “The Art of Fiction” in light of Henry James’ published response of the same title. I will argue that James’ is correct and warranted to critique Besant’s approach, but that James’ concerns are ultimately overstated. Besant’s lecture “The Art of Fiction” aims to defend fiction and elevate the novel among the “higher” arts. Historically, critics wouldn’t dare speak of fiction in the same breath they praise the fine arts – to even consider it an art at all would be a stretch.…
Calling Narrative I grew up in a strong Christian home that was full of faith and love. My four siblings and I had prayers for our bedtime stories. My parents were heavily involved in our local church, so going to church was never an option. However, this was never really an issue because I truly believed that we really enjoyed going to church. In a small town, church is the community.…
