August: Osage County

William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily’ is not written in chorological order like we normally see. The story is written in a non-linear fashion to give the readers Emily’s perception of her life. The story begins with Emily’s funeral and ends with the discovery of her one time only true love’s decaying corpse. Emily’s death symbolizes her refined way of life which is replaced by the newer generation’s approach of doing things. This story highlights the differences of the past and present…

Youth facing these adversities are often victim to effects of mental disorders (depression, anxiety, PTSD), educational and behavioral disabilities, improper brain development, and substance abuse. Many children, who have these effects, are unaware of places in their community where they can receive support. Since 1969, The Ozone House has provided a free shelter for…

Reflective Essay I. Introduction “Geography is the study of Earth’s landscapes, people, places, and environments” (“What is Geography,” n.d.). There are five main themes that can be referred to when discussing geography.

2- The words used to describe the sea in this passage help to show what it is like in Edna’s mind. This is the first time that she really goes with Robert and does not follow what society dictates she should do (to not go with this other man). Her thoughts, and this entire situation in general, relate to the description of the sea which is clamoring and never ceasing. Edna had a major conflict in her mind when Robert asks her to join him. She has two sides fighting over what to do. The one is…

However, by January 1866 after the Civil War, slavery came to an end leaving…

Vail, Colorado, one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Also, one of my favorite places to travel. I always get so excited to go to there with my dad’s side of my family. My dad is one out of seven children of Grandma and Grandpa Clawson and they have over 40 grand children.

I love waking up to the smell of camp fire or just beautiful mountain…

It puts light on almost all the aspects of a society i.e. religious dogmas, traditional values, cultural disintegration, liberalism and freedom of women in the society,…

This is so remarkable because Faulkner at a young age never graduated from high school, never received a college degree, living in a small town in the poorest state in the nation. He wrote a series of novels all set in the same small southern county novels which include As I Lay Dying. (Kovesdy Joe) In As I Lay Dying, fifteen characters—most of them with the last name Bundren—take turns narrating the story in streams of consciousness. It all happens over the course of fifty-nine, sometimes…
