Another Cinderella Story

In my opinion, I think “The Perfect Storm” is a more compelling story. I believe this because it goes into a lot more detail than “The Wreck of the Hesperus”. The Perfect Storm’s structure also made the story very easy to read. I personally think a story is easier to read than a poem. The story has real events that makes you want to know if actual people survive. The story is about real life or death situations making the story more interesting. The first reason “The Perfect Storm” was more…

student’s names. Seeing the pennants immediately made me think of what Payne (2013) wrote, “spiritual resources provide a person with a ‘future story,’ which gives him/her hope for the future” (p. 9). Teacher’s had bulletin boards outside their classroom. They were decorated with items from the college they attended which I believe reaffirm their “future story”. The Kansas Report Card website (http://ksreportcard.ksde.org) provided useful information about the school district. The Wichita…

going to the water, but they chose to go to the water. Another scenario was in “The Moral Logic of Survival Guilt.” The people who felt guilt in this story did not have to feel it if they did not do anything wrong. Also, The soldiers in the story got to choose their occupation and what they do so having a friend pass is part of the job and it happens. The final scenario of why a person should be held accountable for their action comes in the story called “The Value of a Sherpa Life.” Sherpas die…

As I sat in the living room watching TV my daughter came up and asked if she can here a story. I said “sure what kind of story do you want me to tell you” she said “a story about adventure. Please?” I said “alright I'll tell you a story about how grandma,uncle mason and I came to America or the land of opportunity as grandma called it”. When I was just a boy me and your uncle and grandma lived in Ireland I worked as a farm hand for my fathers old friend getting little pay your grandmother and…

“Dad can you tell me a story.” The dad replied,”Yes I can, and I have the perfect story in mind that you may like. It is an old legend that happened some 200 years ago.” The legend goes like this there was a man named Floyd once. He was 27 and dedicated to his job. The place he worked at was known as Wal-Mart. He was a television salesman. One day, Floyd glanced at a tv and saw that there was breaking news. The News Lady announced that the world was in a state of chaos. Floyd was then in shock…

Personally I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had a somewhat good idea of how coalitions in parliamentary governments worked because of the lectures in class; however, I did not know how it would actually play out. Before the simulation game I did some brief research on the Scottish National Party, and I quickly figured out that we were an outlier in English parliament. So realistically the SNP would its own coalition. I went in with the mindset that no one, even the Labour Party,…

everything is imaginary in the real world. Another fairy tale element that is evident is the connection between Cinderella and Offred. For example, as the author writes, “A bed. Single, mattress medium-hard, covered with a flocked white a flocked white spread. Nothing takes place in the bed but sleep; or no sleep. I try not to think too much. Like other things now, thought must be rationed” (Atwood, 8). This line is similar to the fairy tale character Cinderella, who had a bed made out of…

Nitro-junkie & Badmotorjam I have a natural appreciation for muscle cars, classic automobiles, motorcycles et al. I also love movies, and my penchant for these appreciations means life stories are analogous to all things with engines and celluloid. What’s even better is there is never a shortage of stories to tell. Last week’s adventure at the pump was eye opening for me anyway. Yet, I have noticed that whenever someone sticks their neck out to write about the topic of masculinity, some people…

also focuses on the part played by intellectualism and physical challenges in the development of identity of individuals. The entire plot is spiced with tearing irony. There are four clear sections in the story emphasizing the relationships between four prime characters. The irony of the story encompasses the social and religious parameters and the rude outlook about disabilities. The main character is Joy or Hulga who had lost her leg in an accident. This made her withdraw from the physical…

readers would predict that the story would have a feminist theme. And they would be right. However, the way that the story’s author, Susan Glaspell, establishes this theme is far more unexpected. On its surface, the story itself is a rather disturbing murder-mystery about a woman who is believed to have murdered her husband. However, observant readers will take note of the subtleties of the story that establish the theme. So, yes, “A Jury of Her Peers” is, at its heart, a story about women…
