Socks started feeding,and,cleaning Midnight, along with his other five brothers, and sisters. Then after I got Midnight situated I ran to the house for help. I got my Mom told he what…

As hinted by the quotation, Offred felt guilty for having enjoyed the sex she had with Nick. At first, Offred agreed to have sex with Nick because of a pact she made with Serena Joy. Getting pregnant by Nick would save Offred from shipment to the colonies. However, after the act transpired, a revision occurred within Offred, which saw the return of her old identity. The identity that Offred had throughout most of the novel was a precarious one that Offred created to conform to Gilead society. It…

Rod Serling’s message to the readers of “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” is that weird things can happen to ANY ordinary street, and that people can, but should NOT be accused without evidence, ‘cause it’s just not fair! The theme begins to show when Tommy started making people scared by telling them that they were all bad, and he KNEW the story, and he was making people afraid. In the text Charlie says, ”I swear it isn’t me! I swear it isn’t! But I know who it is! I know who the monster…

When I first read Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” I was both surprised and intrigued. Although her husband was not cruel, and she “would weep again when she saw the kind, tender hands folded in death; the face that had never looked save with love upon her” (13), she still “bespoke repression” (8). In a male dominant society, release from her patriarch was an immense relief and Louise could finally be “free! Body and soul free” (16). At first, it may be confusing to why Louise experiences such…

If given the chance to follow your curiosity, would you leave everything behind? The answer for a young Marmaduke Van Swearingen was yes. Born on January 2, 1753 in Fayette County Pennsylvania, the young man grew up on a thousand acre farm. His parents, John and Katherine Stoll Swearingen, had 14 children; Marmaduke was the fourth. The Swearingen children had a first hand account with the biased attitudes and expiernces possessed by the white settlers in North America, but Marmaduke seemed…

The house is ominous and dark, its night time and it’s raining outside, the player is alone, and there is a note on the door implying that something off-putting happened to Katie. The player is put in the creepy old deserted house with little context. The ambiance makes it seem like there is something off and disconcerting about this place. Gone Home elegantly makes the player’s mind start imagining all of the possibilities which will create eventually lead to higher positive tension and depth.…

Hearing Rod Sterling’s comments were extremely helpful. After watching my first episode of the Twilight Zone with my Dad a few years ago, I always wondered where the ideas for The Twilight Zone spawned. Thus, when the students asked the question, “Where do ideas come from?” I was delighted to hear Sterling’s answer. His answer was quite profound. Sterling simply answered that ideas come from “one’s experiences.” I thoroughly enjoyed how he showed that story is personal and comes from the…

Do it now and Talk Later! We are given 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, and 12 months in a year to get things done. Let’s break that down into minutes! That equals 1,440 minutes per day, 10,080 minutes per week, and 525,600 minutes per calendar year to do what we need to do. When it comes to the term “Do it now and Talk Later”, it simply means just what it says! What are you doing with your time? Are you getting things done? Many of us say that we wish that we had more time, but what…

I’ve done it time and time again. As the dark void overtakes me, the anticipation for adventure grasps my soul and sets my heart ablaze. It’s the same every time. I open my eyes to nothingness, then like a wave breaks upon the sturdy ocean rocks, my psyche is bombarded by the overwhelming presence of wondrous displays: an aurora of light, mingling with the soothing sounds of nature and church bells, and the sweet aroma of cherry blossoms and rain. Nothing can compare. By now, you may be…
