Marie Antoinette was the Austrian queen of France in the mid-late 1700’s. She was married off to the king of France’s son at fourteen years of age and was executed for treason along with her husband Louis the XVI of France in 1793, late in the French Revolution. She lived the rich and extravagant life of a queen, which makes sense since she was one. Her careless spending during a time when food and resources in France were scarce, along with false accusations, were reasons for her execution.…

“As a pit bull she’s always been misunderstood,” says the dog owner, Gateway Community & Technical College student Jordie Bamforth (136). “She’s always had people judge her by how she looks and not necessarily how she acts. Her personality is so bubbly-she’s the happiest dog ever” (qtd. in “Meet the Mayor of Rabbit Hash” 136). The pit bull of Rabbit Hash shows that each person has different experiences with pit…

In this world, there are many things that have a deeper meaning than what lies on the surface. These symbols have the ability to represent a topic or idea, steer away from literal interpretations, and can even help to enhance a writer’s work with richness. A plethora of novels and literature pieces utilize symbolism for these reasons, and it definitely makes for a better final product. Young Goodman Brown, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, is well-known for its constant use of this writing…

Kim Yong-Hwa’s 2006 movie, 200 Pound Beauty, follows an overweight and “ugly” ghost singer who lends her vocal talent by lip syncing for an attractive and famous pop star. The ghost singer goes as far as a failed suicide and finds plastic surgery the only remedy to her as-dramatized unfortunate life. While the overarching theme of the movie is to promote inner beauty, the viewer is influenced by the romanticized and oversimplified view of cosmetic surgery. In fact, Korea is the number one…

How does a deep fried charcoal beef patty drenched in oil, salt covered greasy potato chips, and a large cup of carbonated bubbly sensation sound to you? Probably the same way it sounds to every other American that smothers themselves in the delicious drive thru menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sounds easy and appetizing? Maybe. But the Big Mac you ordered with French fries on the side is no meal; it is a heart attack waiting to happen. Millions of Americans have fallen to the savory,…

out different trends with all different types of people. In sixth grade, I was a Twilight obsessed gothic girl who hated the world. That did not last very long as that was not who I was meant to be. Then seventh grade rolled around and I became very bubbly and very mean. I would give into the peer pressure of my friends and bully whoever they did not like. This phase ended near the end of eighth grade and this is when I began to discover my true self. I began helping…

One of the things that made the first day at Middle Tennessee State University great was that it was the first time that I realized how close I was to achieving my goal. Since I was a child, I had dreamed of studying abroad to earn my degree. I had already been studying in the United States for some time. During that time, I was studying the English language to be prepared for the academic language I would face at the university level of studying. Studying language has a way of bringing a person…

Consumed by Darkness “You know, I want to burn your face off, so that no one else can see your beauty.” He said completely straight faced. It was one of those times that you knew he wasn’t joking and that scared me. The first time I ever noticed him, was the day he walked up to me when I was working at my high school’s pool as a Lifeguard. He had been in swimming that whole evening during my shift and I didn’t really think much of it. At some point, he had hopped out the pool and took a seat…

I could not agree more with contemporary blogger Teal Swan’s quote that “We do not fear the unknown; we fear what we think we know about the unknown”. Although I would not describe myself as particularly timorous, as I left my family in the Heathrow departure lounge I admit I had a few reservations: How am I going to live in another country? Will I fit into the Babson campus? Will I make friends? What am I going to do with my family 3,000 miles away? Why am I doing this? Naturally, these fears…

There are many TV shows that one can simply pick to watch but this show was one of the most beloved by the people. Full House was one of the most family oriented and bubbly show that one can stop to watch. The T.V show Full House ran for about 8 years and many of their cast members are still relevant today. Using gender theory to analyze Full House, is evident that the show challenged society's traditional idea of gender roles. Back in the late 80’s and early 90’s it was rare to see the shifts…
