She uses symbolism, foreshadow, and irony to communicate her opinions about racism to the…

The emotional bond that a mother and daughter share is unique. There are many factors that influence a strong parental bond and many other obstacles that interfere with the possibility to develop one. In Tillie Olsen’s story “I Stand Here Ironing”, the mother struggles to develop an emotional connection with her daughter Emily. The naïve 19 year old young mother often seeks help from an unnamed authority figure when deciding the best course of action for her daughter. Emily experiences a rough…

Serrano-Serra’s actions were tangential, without any culpable knowledge, and bolstered by his redemptive act and do not, therefore, bar him. Furthermore, the persecutor bar should not apply to Serrano-Serra because the accurate interpretation of the persecutor bar includes an exception for duress, requiring those barred to possess personal culpability in their actions. I. Serrano-Serra neither assisted persecution nor had sufficient knowledge of it occurring because his actions, when viewed as…

Pages 6-7, in the 9/11 Commission Report foretell four different stories. For instance, the pages have a brief description of what occurred, during the four flights, those being: Flight 11, 175, 77, and 93. All four of these planes stories are told in a timeline, “… Showing the simultaneous histories of the four hijacked airplanes as they began and completed their horrendous missions” (Hill and Wang 6).

September 11, 2001 was a day that shook America to its core, but to me, it had little meaning. Though, it probably should have. My dad is a pilot for United Airlines and he was piloting a flight on this dreadful day. As if it wasn’t bad enough that he was in the air, he was in the same airspace as the hijackers that took over the first plane to hit the towers. He, eerily, heard their voices on the radio. I was in Mrs. Seitz’s second grade class. She was a short, intense lady who never…
