influential source. From the extract of ‘A Mother’s Reckoning’ by Sue Klebold, Dylan was claimed to have had a loving mother who cared for him, gave him his space and had ‘hands on parents.’ On occasions such as these it becomes difficult to understand why Klebold engaged in such a horrific act as he appeared to have a supportive and loving family to guide him. Sue, Dylan’s mother, in an interview (Diane Sawyer 2016) claimed that she felt Dylan’s irritability and sullen behaviour was just a…
those groups are the Socials and Greasers. The Socials are a group of west side rich kids who basically do whatever they want, whenever they want.

Moore’s Bowling for Columbine. Alongside this persuasive format, Moore creates a sense of independence for the viewer, directly speaking to them through the use of rhetorical questioning.

going on the internet is a bad thing but heavy use could cause health risks. Humans have a limited amount of time in this world and humans have to treasure every single second because at any moment it could be…
can be seen as the good in the overwhelming bad. Simon is described as having metaphorical “...eyes so bright they had deceived Ralph into thinking him delightfully gay and wicked” (Golding 55). This differs from other boys, because they do not have this kind of light in them, instead they have dark and twisted souls. Another reason why Simon can be considered queer, is due to the fact he often faints uncontrollably. Simon being so different explains why the boys ignore and patronize him for…
Looking at both sides of the argument, the people that are fighting to repeal HB2 have a stronger point. The outcome of vetoing the law would be a better one than what we have. Unfortunately, even before the law, anybody can enter a restroom and do bad things, but that’s a story of their behavior, not their gender identity.

Hollow Change "You can't marry a man you just met." (“Frozen”). Pretty sound advice really, yet odd to hear it come from Disney of all places. Don't get me wrong, Disney isn't a bad company. There aren't many other businesses in the world that can achieved the global recognizability and influence of the Disney company. With hands in more countries than we can truly know and a small army of genre defining and societal dominating works, they're a producing powerhouse and a cultural juggernaut.…
