Seuss. The quote, “Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities,” was one of her favorites from Dr. Seuss. She lived as many may have liked to have lived, loose and carefree. She didn’t let life’s harsh realities get her down, and often found a silver lining to a bad day.
However, living without too much care was dangerous. She often lost sight of reality and her friends had to bring her back. Though, at times, her friends were far and in between. Hollie became somewhat of a hermit and lived alone for a number of years. She had acquaintances everywhere, but none has ever really been anything more than that. She had no trouble talking to people, but she wouldn’t always say the right thing. She would go on random rants about her day or about whatever popped into her

    In “Behind the Beautiful Forevers” Katherine Boo argues that societies are becoming corrupt because of capitalism’s prevalence in modern societies. Capitalism is creating an economy where products and profits are owned by companies and individuals instead of the government. ("Capitalism" Merriam Webster) Having profits owned by individuals drive owners to create inequitable systems that take advantage of lower class citizens. The systems drive the lower class to compete against one another to create a small profit, that will soon be taken away by the individuals or companies that “own” the profit created by the system.…

    Colonizers believe that freedom of speech for the Natives does not apply with the Natives's culture and values, ironically rendering them voiceless and powerless with their 'freedoms.' In Rita Joe's I Lost My Talk, colonizers attempt to civilize the Natives and are compelled to humanize them when in reality, they are stripping them of their identities. Firstly, colonizers justify their treatment of the Natives after dehumanizing them and taking away their identities. The Natives of North America had their freedoms taken away "At Shubenacadie school" (Joe, 4). Shubenacadie school is an Indian residential school with the goal to "Take the Indian out of Indian" ().…

    With a title like So Far From God, I held high expectations that this book would send me on a roller coaster of emotions ranging from sorrow for the tragedies of the characters to inspiration strengthening my own religion while whetting my appetite for the Spanish culture. During the first hundred pages of this book, though, I grew disappointed that my high expectations hadn’t been met. I finally came across a revelation when I stopped blaming my lack of engagement on the author’s writing style. When I took a step back to look at the novel from a perspective outside of my own culture, I can see how other cultures would embrace this mystical Hispanic folklore. So Far From God speaks to the state of humanity by giving a Hispanic twist to the…

But music isn't really a science, we can all create music. What one person perceives to be beautiful in the terms of music, may be seen as screeching Devil’s music to others. Music is more than a science or art; it is expression, and it is soul. Any man or woman with a tone deaf partner knows how crazy someone can sound while singing.…
