A World Lit Only by Fire

It was a year ago; i got Undertale off of the steam library. I still don't know why it was recommended to me, maybe it was the retro vibe i got from the game. The game follows a child who’s fallen into the world of monsters. the child needed to travel to the King of the monsters, Asgore to go home. It may sound simple but most consider it the best videogame of all time; probably because of the random comedy, heart touching scenes , or the scenes that brutally rip out your heart and stomp it…

Fitzgerald shows the reader how important his materials are to him to impress Daisy. Nick describes that, “[w]hen I came home to West Egg that night I was afraid for a moment that my house was on fire. Two o’clock and the whole corner of the peninsula was blazing with light […] It was Gatsby’s house, lit from tower to cellar” (81). He is looking at his house through Daisy’s eyes, in all of its glory, and when she does see the house he has to show off every room. He wants to erase the past five…

As previously stated, oil producers are able to shift the price more so than other industries. Just recently the world has seen a unique occurrence as a result of this. As countries start to produce oil at a more affordable price, the market share of OPEC is in danger of being reduced. To combat this, OPEC started producing millions more barrels of oil everyday. The…

dystopian society where books are banned and people are too caught up in technology that they fail to notice all the things they are missing. The protagonist, Guy Montag, works as a fireman, but in this book, firemen are used to burn books and start fires instead of putting them out. Throughout the book, he learns and realizes that he’s been living his life all wrong and that books-and life- have more to it than it may seem. In the novel Fahrenheit 451 author Ray Bradbury displays the idea that…

Scapegoating is used because propaganda that promotes fear and blame towards a weakened minority will find more success in control than propaganda that doesn’t choose a target. To provide context, Adolf Hitler rose to power in a Germany and in a world that were already filled with antisemitism. In fact, even the United States of America was dripping with it. Henry Ford, celebrated american automobile…

thoughts never stray from the world of appearances. That is why he forbids Nora from macaroons, or for that matter, any other food item that could possible deteriorate her physical appearance. Nora is conscious that Torvald will not love her as he does now, “Years from now, when [she is] no longer pretty.” (36) Yet, despite Nora’s claim that she would “never act against [his] wishes,” (27) she disobeys him when she nibbles on macaroons in the very beginning of the play. Not only does she hide,…

nothing as horrendous as this. I didn’t want to move. I didn't want to knock on the door for them to let me in. I didn't want to see my brother or my father and his new wife that wasn’t my mom. I was angry at him, but I knew I couldn't blame him. I could only blame myself for this. If I wasn't born she wouldn't have died. I stood on the porch of the small home, hugging myself as I shivered against the furious wind. I knocked on the door, feeling the skin on my knuckle crack and teared and while…

I am Emnjundi Jacqueline Longton (call me Jackie), and this is my story. I live in the utopia of Colorum, or perhaps it is the dystopia of Colorum. Utopia is certainly what our world appears to be. We all have our jobs, our lifestyles. When we change, we can change our surroundings if we wish. Everyone is happy, except for those who are misfits. Those who don’t get along with our law. No one knows what happens to them, just that they get removed. To where? No one knows. To people in Hyacinthum,…

Today, in 2018, the technology is becoming so advanced that scientists are even creating artificial embryos. At the University of Cambridge in the UK, embryologists have developed mouse embryos using only stem cells (“You'll Want to Keep an Eye on These 10 Breakthrough Technologies This Year”). This is only one example of how technology has grown over the years. Unfortunately, as the sciences have expanded, so has the abuse and how people use it against others. So, the real question is, how is…
