Our imagination is the greatest power that we can have. It will lead us to see the world differently, and will make you believe to the impossible. If you do not believe with yourself, you will live a life full of regrets. Everything is inside your head. If you believe hard enough, there is a possibility that it will become a reality. In the short story, Frog told Katagiri that the battle happened in his dreams or mind. Meaning to say, what he thought was a full interaction and face to face combat with Worm is only in his head. Another one is that he does not believe in himself especially when Frog asked him to help him fight with frog that will solve the upcoming biggest earthquake in Tokyo that can kill 150,000 people mostly with transportation accidents.

TCU affords me the opportunity to move away from my hometown, Waco, it allows me to select from any of the majors I've considered; it provides me all of the resources I need to learn and excel; and it means I get to cheer on one of the best football teams in the nation, all while being in a faith-growing environment. I found, during my campus tour, the aspect I was most impressed by was the TCU spirit. Every student my tour group encountered wore a prideful smile, excitedly greeting their peers and every now and then one would yell a “Go frogs!”.…

    The short-story version of The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County was very different from the live performance version of it. For example, the characters are different between the two.

    The description here is intentionally graphic. Garland’s language captures the horror and violence of death in battle with blunt realism. The lack of sentimentality is an important trait of realism. Garland takes pains to avoid romanticizing Billy Tripp’s death. The sound imagery is evocative, but the description focuses more on the ugliness of death than its emotional impact.…

    Lange captures a moment between two “American” college students in 1942 that gives her an alchemist position by turning an erroneous, acrimonious point of time into a cooperative and patriotic time across the races in America, adding onto our misremembered past. Lange’s position was granted by the government to show that they were not mistreating the people they were evacuating, but through subliminal imagery depicted in the men’s body language, wardrobe, and their surroundings, she was able to show the reality of America during World War II. Authors like Okada and Kelley also assisted in helping show how American “nationalism” is lived and viewed in the perspective of the minorities in America during the time of this war. One of the objectives…
