What most people don’t see is that what they did played an enormous role in developing America. Andrew Carnegie is the perfect example of a “rags to riches” type of person. He was born on 1835 in Scotland. Due to financial problems and instability, he and his family moved to the United States in hope of a better future. One of his many jobs…

“The Flea” by John Donne and “To His Coy Mistress” by Andrew Marvell are two poems classified as carpe diem. Carpe diem is Latin phrase for “Seize the day”. Both speakers use the ideals of carpe diem to persuade the auditor to live in the moment. They do this by saying that the auditor is young and beautiful and that they are meant to be. Although both speakers try their best to persuade the auditor to have sex with them, the speaker in “To his coy mistress” impresses the auditor the best. In…

For Tayo, his recovery of his indigenous roots is all about memory and what feels right. He remembers the stories that were told to him as a child, and remembering what a prayer or greeting was like. “The things he did seemed right, as he imagined with his heart the rituals the cloud priests performed during a drought.” (p. 94) He also acknowledged the side of him that he disliked, the white side, but focused on the people who raised him and who were his true family.

Most people remember watching Finding Nemo as a child, now with the sequel finally premiered, the…

From what I read of C.S. Lewis’s Perelandra, it was primarily uneventful. Lewis tells the story of Elwin Ransom’s recent trip to the planet Perelandra or Venus. Lewis, the first-person narrator, portrays himself as one of Ransom’s closest friends. He tells the story from Ransom’s memory of Ransom’s experience on Perelandra. Ransom describes the planet to be very beautiful and different from earth. The planet is covered with a “roof” preventing the inhabitants of seeing the sky clearly. On…
