Unimpressed by the early morning alarm clock, he angrily pulled his pillow over his head and attempted to drown out the noise. But after several minutes, the humorous fact that the sound easily penetrated through the downy feathers brought a good-natured smile to his lips, and with a resigned sigh, he threw the pillow to the floor and sat up. From across the room, Tom yawned loudly, a sleepy smile spreading across his face.…

    On November 28, 2015, I conducted an interview with Dr. Kellen Sherlock, a primary care physician at the Washington County Hospital. Dr. Sherlock began his medical career this past August; he attended Kansas State University where he majored in biology and then continued his education at Kansas School of Medicine.

His favorite school subject was science; however, after high school, he was not completely committed to human medicine. When he took an EMT class in college was when he realized that being a physician was what appealed most to him.…

American culture was confronted with clashing ideologies of the old traditions and the new progressive ideas to embrace the foundations of a developing new country.

Romantic Literature incorporated the power of the imagination as a vehicle to propel the narratives. Washington Irving’s, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" reflects certain aspects of concern held by many citizens of the changing political, social, and everyday fundamentals of life after the Revolutionary through a theme of the powers of imagination and how it could lead to a devastating downfall.…
