Sometimes life itself shows you a deferent type of language. For “the deaf and the blind find it very difficult to acquire the amenities of conversation” (Keller, p. 148). Helen Keller was able to surpass her obstacles: being deaf and blind, a status she acquired after a bout with scarlet fever at a young age and eventually…

Paper or Digital Versions Many do not ponder whether or not we would trade our paper copies of books for digital versions. Yet, this is a topic that should be very relevant in a world where technology can do anything for you.

Apps that sell digital books could lose a lot of money on every book they sell. Not to mention how many problems…

Let’s talk a little about how similar a tree in our backyards is to a neuron in our brain. A human brain cell has close to 100 billion neurons. If that’s not impressive, I don’t know what else is. The parts of a neuron are much like the parts of a tree in many ways. The word dendrite is a greek term meaning “tree-like.” The dendrite is much like the branches on a tree because just like branches on a tree receives nutrients through the tree to the leaves to help grow more leaves, a dendrite grows…

Many opinions come with the idea of war. Some see it as a chance to fight for what they believe in, while others claim it wastes a country’s money and resources. The difference in people’s views could be influenced by the media or the government. Either way, both sides can agree that when soldiers come back, they are different after fighting on the battlefield. War changes men whether they want it or not. After experiencing the horrors of war, soldiers form their own opinions about it. In the…

Against masculinity When I was a small, school-age child, perhaps 7 or 8, I brought a new book to class for morning reading. It happened to be “Baby Island,” a 1937 novel that Wikipedia describes as “Robinson Crusoe… but with four babies.” My intention, on that brisk fall morning, was to pull the paperback out of my backpack and open it to my bookmark. “What is that?

him even if he can’t block out what Allan has to say. “He’s paying your tuition, still sends you Christmas and birthday cards.” “Barely.” He doesn’t want to think about money and his dad’s famous years, when Leon Cross was a name recognized in bookstores everywhere, a time when home was actually home for him, “most of his money is still spent on spiced rum. And the cards come at least a month too late. Fuck,” he swears under his breath upon realizing that he just paired a white sock with a…
