To her complete amazement, she hit the jackpot after just 20 spins.

She could not believe her luck. With the jackpot money, she would be able to help her parents pay for her mother's medical bills and cancer treatment. She might even be able to find a way to help them through the cancer treatment.

Mackenna kept the secret until her surprise arrived in the mail. Without telling her parents, she paid off the rest of her mother's treatment.

    It’s no secret that in A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, Dave Eggers takes on a vastly different writing style than most audiences are used to. With his satirical, stream of consciousness technique of narrating the events of his life, Eggers is definitely a man of detail in vivid depictions of events and his thoughts along the way. Though Dave frequently gives readers an almost troublingly detailed recount of what he’s been through, there are instances in which Dave more subtly involves us in his narrative. Such an instance presents itself between pages 114 and 120 where what at first seems to be a conversation between Dave and Toph, is revealed to be Dave cathartically grappling with the problems he has with himself. I believe Eggers…

    I have chosen to review the Alberta Ballet’s performance of Love Lies Bleeding for my dance production critique. Preceding the show I had relatively low expectations since I am not an Elton John fan and the show was set to his music and was inspired by his journey. Fortunately, my expectations were surpassed considerably. Love Lies Bleeding was a zestful, dynamic, and alluring theatrical experience unlike no other.…

    Friends with benefits are relationships where there is a sexual aspect, but the people involved still hold platonic feelings for the other. It is often the case that college students are the ones engaging with friends with benefits because when students leave their homes as well as move into dorms they are free to explore themselves. Through Williams O. Stephens piece, “What’s Love Got to Do with It: Epicureans and Friends with Benefits”, the author explains why college students should not engage in friends with benefits relationships. The author has been through college so he knows that this is a time of liberation for students, but he also acknowledges the freedom to make risky decisions during our college years. Specifically the friends…

    As we learned in the all-time cult favorite “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” starring Kate Hudson, there are many ways to “lose a guy”, or ruin any relationship for that matter. In this particular movie, Hudson does an experiment on how to ruin a relationship for her advice column. Watching this movie when I was younger, it made me laugh at all of her silly antics. Then as I grew older I realized there was a lot of truth to her “rules”. Although I learned a lot on how to “lose a guy”, I’m here to tell you how to NOT lose a guy (or girl/whatever your preference is).…

    On the night of January 28, in 1985 in the 97th General Hospital at a United States Army base in Frankfurt, West Germany, is the birthplace of a man that would soon change the music world forever with his powerful array of lyrical meaning and word play. Also known as Jermaine Lamar Cole, J. Cole’s arguably most popular song, “Love Yourz” not only demonstrates palpable humility in which Cole compares the two types of lives he has lived, but also distress to a belief that this nation has built itself around, the American Dream. Rapping at the age of twelve, Cole’s love and passion for creating music has spurred him to become the harbinger of rap music in today’s society. Living with only his older brother, Zachary, his mother, and only the image…

    According to health and social care information Centre (HSCIS) (2014), more than half of admission to critical care unit was emergency and male patients. The patients were admitted mostly from theater and recovery (44.2%) requiring an average of 2.2 organ support. The psychological outcome of intensive care survivors highlighted conjointly by Wade et al., (2012) and Griffiths et al., (2013) suggested the need of intervention to decrease the result of psychological morbidity. The impact of critical illness is not limited only to patient but has extended beyond patient including the family members (Davidson, 2009). Over the last decade, various studies have given particular attention to the needs of the family members primarily focusing the study in reducing the emotional burden (Obringer et al., 2012; Al-Multair et al., 2013; Hinkle and Flitzpatrick 2011 and Fateel and O’Neill 2015).…

    Through the Tunnel of Love Tension is a type of plot line for authors to use when writing any sort of story. Tension helps build the plot line by giving the readers a sense of apprehension. Without the use of tension in writings, many stories would be boring, and would not have any sort pizazz. In the short story Through the Tunnel and the short film God of Love the writers create a plot line in which the audience feel a sense of tension which keeps them hooked. If the writers of these two literary works did not have tension in their plot, then it is most likely that these two literary works would be less interesting and the audience would be not as intrigued.…

    Have you ever heard a song that has impacted your life? Songs are a form of art that allows artists to express their feelings in a form of music. Songs can be interrupted in many ways; some songs have a more literal meaning, while other songs require you to interpret the lyrics to understand the deeper meaning. Artists often use figurative, metaphorical, and poetic elements in their songs to help develop the overall message. The use of figurative terms in a song leaves the interpretation of the song broad and allows the listener to have their own meaning of the song.…

    The song “Same Love” by Macklemore is a very powerful song that has a deeper meaning behind it. The Song “Same Love” had changed my opinions and thoughts about gay rights and homophobia(people who have phobia of gay) within the hip-hop community and the world. Also it want us youth of our society to think in a new direction. Humans in our society believe that the actions and activities that people are involved are either classified as gay or straight. “Same Love” starts off with the lyrics, “When I was in the third grade, I thought that i was gay, because i could draw, my uncle was, and i kept my room straight”.…
