Bow tie

The Hunger Games is a great film to tie this course all together at the end. Throughout this course we have learned many key terms and concepts that help us better understand the world and help people realize they are always part of something bigger than themselves. The Hunger Games puts everything we learned in this semester in to a perspective that we can all relate to and understand. The terms I will be using to relate sociology to The Hunger Games are the One Thing, fear-mongering,…

The second-generation Chevy Cruze sedan is out. Beginning this fall, a hatchback variant will finally be offered in the US market. It almost seems like eons have passed since the Chevrolet Cobalt and the earlier Cavalier represented the bow tie brand’s compact offering. Since 2011 it has been all Cruze, a far superior model to any previous small Chevrolet car. The second-generation Cruze sedan is now in place and should help Chevrolet compete in a market dominated by the Toyota Corolla and…

It’s safe to say that Gustave Caillebote’s “Paris Street, Rainy Day” is one of the most easy recognisable paintings of the 19th Century France. The large oil painting is certainly interesting as Gustave tends to show a more pessimistic view on Paris breaking the pattern that the Impressionists have put into place, a pattern that Gustave seems to enjoy breaking. Instead of painting with a loose brush Gustave chooses to go with smaller and much more delicate work which might be mistaken for…

because he leaves at least the top button of his shirt unsnapped, showing off his white undershirt and his globe necklace. Now I’m not saying that he dresses inappropriately, but usually if you aren’t a shop teacher or a female teacher, you would wear a tie every day. I will admit though that being in as small of a district as we are, there isn’t as much hostility towards a certain dress code for teachers, as long as it’s appropriate, that…

Plate Armor and The Hundred Years War One of the first well known conflicts where chainmail, hauberks, and counter-weaponry clashed is The Hundred Years War from 1337-1453, which pitted the French against the English. With limited protection from the chainmail, the advent of plate armor began during this long series of battles, and the weapon of choice became the crossbow, which by the 15th century was made entirely of steel, increasing its power and range significantly. While historical…

small cottage and his father told him to wait outside while he went in.

In today’s modern society, everyone follows a set of defined rules and it is well known that it is your actions that define who you are. In John Updike’s A&P, each of the main character’s actions reveals their true intentions and purpose in the story. While Queenie may represent sin, temptation and the power of sexuality, the stern Lengel contradicts her, representing the Christian ideals of conformity and the expulsion of rebellion. Furthermore, through the use of herring snacks and skimpy…

Beeswax was the solution to not hearing the Sirens' voices. So Odysseus ordered his troops to plug their ears with beeswax. He also instructed them to tie their feet and hands to the ship. He didn't have any, simply in case something happened. He will be able to monitor his fellow men in some way. Later in the tale, Odysseus and his men had to confront Scylla. Odysseus kept his calm throughout so that…

survival, friendship, and children murdering each other. You didn’t see that coming did ya? Now let me rephrase that: Lord of the Flies is a sobering sadistic book based on children murdering each other, blood lust, insanity, and just to tie it all up with a questionable bow, decay. Yes we’re tumbling straight down the rabbit hole here! No matter what happens in the world, decay is going to be present, that’s why it’s a universal and there is no book that I find decay more prevalent than the…
