Decent Essays
Veronica Sands’ desperate attempts to get her grandmother to stop seeing a fake psychic forced her to seek help from world renowned magician, Sinclair Majors.
Her fantasy of being dominated was just that, a fantasy, one she feared would be far different in reality.
Until she met Sinclair.
Sin, a Dominant, wanted her, and was more than willing to help her explore her fantasies, an offer she couldn’t refuse.
Tired of illusion, Sin yearned for a woman who could be everything to him.
The women he dated preferred vanilla sex, so his need to dominate drew him to clubs that catered to that lifestyle.
In Veronica, he suspected he’d found everything he ever wanted.
Helping her explore her submissive side proved more threatening to his control than he’d

    An idealistic lifestyle has a wide variety of definitions, but for many, that involves being perpetually surrounded by models in minimal clothing. Hugh Hefner is the ‘perfect’ ladies man— an individual flocked by women living in an extravagant home.

In Ross Douthat’s, “Speaking Ill of Hugh Hefner” he is thoroughly described as a repulsive human-being. Douthat uses persuasive prose in order to create an accurate image of the “grotesque” life Hefner chose to lead.…

    Patricia Hampl’s “Memory and Imagination” provides a coherent insight about what a memoir consist of. Hampl begins to explain that a memoir is “a matter of transcription,” meaning that one has the power to present what details they choose to share. As a memoirist, you soon begin to question whether your memory is a reliable source or if your mind filled those empty gaps with desirous details. However, those memories that we simply remember must have been part of a life-changing moment that was not apparent to us at that moment. Although one intended goal could be accuracy, writing a memoir could help one discover what they know compare to the assumption of what happened.…

    People go to work and begrudge their “less-talented” colleague’s promotion to a new rank. Or to the larger extent when an ill-tempered, ignorant tradesman was preferred to an erudite lawyer by a bureaucracy. Indeed, there have been many inequality issues, especially partiality, in history, but humans themselves overcame those dilemmas. They ended the notorious, anti-Protestant Catholic-hegemony, successfully revoked the unreasonable segregation. Many Great Minds have fought bravely for the world to progress.…

    In the beginning of Roberta M. Gilberts textbook Extraordinary Relationships: A New Way of Thinking About Human Interactions (1992), she argues “In the realm of the purely personal - after food, water, and shelter - the quality of relationships most often determines the quality of life” (p. 3). I believe this statement perfectly sums up how vital and necessary human relationships are for human life, and the strong impact they play on having a positive and meaningful life. There were several concepts presented throughout chapters 1 - 12. They were each of equal importance and each greatly impacts the understanding of relationships. In order to have a purposeful life and a greater understanding of relationships, there are many crucial concepts that must be understood, three of them are differentiation of self, thinking systems, and the relationship pattern of cutoff.…

    This mezzotint by John Raphael Smith was modeled after a painting by George Romney and published by his own London print studio on March 1stof 1781. The print depicts a woman, Dorothy Stables, and her two daughters, Harriet and Maria outdoors sitting at a table adorned with a basket of fruits, which her eldest daughter carries.

    Over this semester I think one of the most eye opening things we talked about was how women were uneducated but were the primary educators. This is crazy for me to think about, because they were expected to teach the children about everything that was going on. This also shows how much education has evolved since then. I think that it is our responsibility as teachers to the students to teach them about the issues, this can mean using other sources besides the textbook to teach the students. There are certain chunks of our history as a country that is left out in many textbooks, they try to make it seem like they are less terrible that how they really are.…

    Besides the perspective of labor, morals and manners there is also another perspective that has affected me personally in the home seating and my education. Dorothy Smith’s standpoint theory, “is grounded by the assertion that women have devalued social statuses in patriarchal societies” (Roberts, 2015). Smith argues that men have obtained the most values and powerful positions in the paid employment. For decades men have been more recognized for either effort in the work force than women. Even though today more women are in the work force, they are still expected to come home to clean, cook, wash and care for the children.…
