“His Girls”- Question # 4 “The 1950s were a decade of prosperity for the United States. Conformity became the norm, and a conservative code of dress and behavior…dictated what was appropriate” (142).

Once you experience something of such great significance, it is hard to let that go and move on. This universal theme can be seen in both the song “Want You Back” by 5 Seconds of Summer, and the short story “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury. In “Want You Back” the band sings about a girl whom they have left and will always want back. In “All Summer in a Day” the author tells a story about students on Venus, who are in the absence of the sun, and are grieving the loss of it too. In both of…

What’s Behind the Mask? In a world full of so much injustice and hurt, it is no wonder we put on fronts and wear masks that ensure no one sees beyond the pretty smiles. In his poem, We Wear the Mask, Paul Laurence Dunbar uses powerful descriptions to deliver the message that people hide their pain and suffering from those around them.

Basically, 55% is based…

Many historical people and events were referred to throughout the memoir. The most obvious of these historical people is Adolf Hitler. He was one of the driving reasons behind why the Nazi party and the Holocaust existed in the first place. In the beginning of the memoir, Olga talks about the beginning of World War II, when Germany invaded Poland in 1939 (Lengyel, 2014, p. 11). This was just the beginning of the rise of the Nazi party and the persecution of minorities in Europe. The city in…

Destiny is a funny and cruel thing isn’t it? How no matter what you are destined to be, someone will always be there to drag you down, to make you think that you are wrong. This is, in a perspective, what the Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne is about. Hester’s destiny was always to end up as Pearls mother, to be shamed in front of her town. Her destiny was always to have that agonizingly beautiful scarlet letter pinned to her breast. Her guilt did not come from destiny, no it came from the…

The poem, “The Author to Her Book,” written by Anne Bradstreet, focuses on the feelings of the author about an event that happened to her. The event explained in the poem is the experience that Bradstreet went through when her friends published her work without her permission and put it into the eyes of other people, when she didn’t even think that it was good enough for her own. She describes this book as the “ill-formed offspring of my feeble brain,” in the poem and this description basically…

As soon as I got out of the car, the heat hit me like I was in a sauna. I fumbled through my bag looking for a hat, only looking up for a second when I heard a familiar voice. It was David, whom I’ve practically known my whole life and was a huge part of my tennis career. I saw him everyday up until a few months ago when he decided to take a year off from coaching at the club to help out at Norwalk Grassroots. He came back now and then to visit or have indoor lessons with inner city kids…
