Brown

it out and watch her from afar. Jennifer is a stubby, four foot eight woman, in her mid-thirties. She is toothless, and her lower jaw whirls from side to side when she produces her puncturing high-pitched sounds. In the center of her scraggly light brown hair, she has a bald spot while the hair at the back of her head is short and frizzy, like a poodle's hair. Jennifer also wears a pair of…

During the era of Jim Crow laws, the African American group was severely oppressed and the movie road to brown was a great example of the hardships and roadblocks that were faced in this time where segregation and oppression were prevalent. My first impression of when the film had started was that it was going to tell the same stories and history were learned from our textbooks throughout school, but I was wrong it taught me the untold side of the civils rights movement and that Charles H.…

It was a warm summer day. The perfect weather for ice cream, Xion Caelum thought to herself. Then again, it was always perfect weather for ice cream. This time, she had an excuse to get it. Settled on treating herself, Xion quickly gathered her things to prepare to leave; her Moogle shaped coin bag, her new Key 3 phone (already cracked from an accidental trip), and her keys. Xion examined herself in the mirror; her coal black hair was messy and greasy, but she simply pulled it back in a…

The difference that could have been made from a rehabilitative and interventional standpoint will never be known. Personality disorders and a less-than-satisfactory family history are no excuse for homicide. We learn that in the case of Cyntoia Brown. Although she was suffering from paranoia caused by her borderline personality disorder, she still understood right from wrong and made the decision to take a man’s life. She will pay for that decision by spending the rest of her life in…

His significant tombstone, in which indicates he is buried with his son Alfred claims he drowned and the body never found on October 4, 1882. However, he appears in the 1891 census! Could it be the tombstone should have 1892 instead? And then there is the other story about how he died — by being killed by a bear north of Parry Sound resulting in naming Killbear Park after the bear. (The naming of this park, from Killbear Point, is more likely named from the Objiwe Mukwa-Nayosh meaning 'Bear…

The outside of the castle with its gargoyles and being surrounded by dead tress made it look like it was owned by Dr. Frankenstein, but the interior looked like something out of an expensive catalogue. The old man bid me farewell, and I started walking away from his castle into an unknown forest overflowing with creatures I couldn't possibly understand. A slight breeze pushed through the forest causing the few remaining leaves that hung to the trees to plummet to the ground. My feet became…

In late May of 2016, I was referred to as one of several “costumed character” in grammatically troubled, but overall positive TripAdvisor review. My supervisor John King was visibly angry, not at me (this time), but at the visitor. “These aren’t costumes. This isn’t Disneyland.” For three months, I wore period clothing (this was John King’s preferred term and one does not fail to use John King’s term). The period was the mid-nineteenth century. Depending on my scheduled tours and assigned…

What is mood? Mood is the overall feeling or atmosphere of a work of literature. The feeling a reader gets while reading a work of literature is called mood. Furthermore, a writer may also produce a unique mood with the usage of literary devices such as irony, similes, and personification, which are inserted throughout the story.

bright, friendly smile. "Hogwarts, dear?" she asked before Raiden could speak. "Another young man is being fitted up just now, in fact." She commented. In the back of the shop was a boy who appeared to be Raiden's age. He had pale skin and light brown hair, and he stood with a slight slouch atop a small stool while another woman dressed in blue pinned up his long black robes. The woman is purple led Raiden over to the next boy and ushered him onto a stool before slipping a robe over his head…

Jones” captivated me. I found myself rooting for him to figure things before it was too late. I enjoyed the book so much, I finished it in about 3 days. The next time I went home to visit, I borrowed my dad’s copy of Angels and Demons, another Dan Brown book featuring the famous symbologist and Harvard professor. I read that books over the course of about 4 days. 1,169 pages in 7 days total. That was definitely more pages than I’d read in my lifetime. Since then, I’ve also read Inferno,…
