weaker counterparts such as women or people of colour, in a ploy to establish their power over the other. This is shown with the use of symbols such as the use of the word “Hog”, the electric chair from A Lesson Before Dying, and Nora’s pet names given to her by Torvald. As the execution date nears, the electric chair arrives to town in a large black truck. Its presence is noted…

reconsideration. I think there should more time dedicated to wheelchair specific skills and drills. According to the head coaches of the national wheelchair basketball team, they believe that the most important thing to teach a new player is about their chair and how it can be manipulated (Wheelchair Basketball Canada). It is important for players to know the mechanics behind hand positioning, turning, stopping, moving, and how to get most power generated when pushing the wheels. Hence, our…

From the moment we enter this world as babies we begin to grow and learn about this thing we call life. Our brains grow and begin to develop as we hit different milestones. Everything we soak up helps to transform us into the people we are today. We learn from different things we face in life whether they are good or bad. I can say that I have definitely evolved from my younger days. I never thought that psychology would be useful to me but after reading and studying it amazes me how much my…

inviting. My best friend, Ellie Beitelspacher, sat in front of me. I thought everything was going good. Mr. Bork was teaching, and Ellie was playing with her hair tie. All of the sudden, the hair tie flew from her fidgety hands and landed behind my chair. Ellie…

“Mrs. Prosser! Mrs. Prosser!” the chunky, troublemaker David shouted, jumping out of his seat. “Emily glued her butt to the chair!” “Mr. Newton, are you being a tattle tail right now?” Mrs. Prosser sighed as she strode into her classroom full of first graders, and sat on her wooden stool. “Well. . .” David trailed off. “You know that I don’t tolerate tattletales, and I also don’t tolerate the use of that ‘b’ word.” Mrs. Prosser explained. “Why don’t you try telling me again, but this…

see anybody doing any longer. They could do drugs or have lots of promiscuous sex. They could have guns and shoot each other or themselves. They could break something just for the fun of it. Like, I could break that window right now, just pick up my chair and toss it straight through the glass.” “And, why would you want to do anything of those things, Phillip? Why would anyone? What good would any of those deplorable things be for anybody or…

No place better exemplifies bricolages than a shared, college bedroom. Bricolages are “compositions designed by combining pre-existing designs” which “express their creator’s identity and worldview, consciously or unconsciously” (Huhtamo, Meeting 1, 20). Bricolages are analyzed through semiotics, the analysis of culture through interpretations of signs (Huhtamo, “Basic Concepts” 257). College is where many first experience living with people who are not family. In a shared bedroom, styles and…

Keeping the Death Penalty When people make a bad choice and get sent to jail they are only in there for a short period of time before going home. For some people they are in jail for a lifetime, and they get the death penalty. Some people do not think the death penalty should still be allowed because of its cruelty. The death penalty should remain as an acceptable punishment because it can be used as a deterrent for serious crimes, other criminals can learn from other death penalty recipients,…

Today was the day I was waiting for all my life. The day where I would be safe from the disease that anyone can be struck by at any given time. It could go wrong and I might be selected for the experiment. It is officially my eighteenth birthday, the day where I become immune to love. Every citizen is Silver Crown is supposed to go through an examination at the government’s headquarters to see if they qualify for the experiment or if they are better off with getting the vaccine.
