Plastic is a material that never decomposes back into its original form; this means it lasts forever. While this plastic is laying around it poisons people and mammals, chokes animals to death daily, and is an eyesore on Earth. A decisive action needs to be taken to get the existing plastics removed from the environment and use alternatives to this deadly material… before it’s too late. Plastic is currently the number one most preferred material in today's industrial world; this is posing an…

According to United Nations Environment Programme, there is approximately 46,000 pieces of plastic floating in every square mile of the ocean! I strongly think that plastic bags should be banned in the whole entire United States. Not only would it encourage people to use reusable bags, it will save many animals, and will prevent toxins from entering into the air. First of all, with a ban on plastic bags, it will encourage people to use reusable bags. Reusable bags have a benefit on not only…

homelessness is key to healing the epidemic that plagues our great nation. However, the hope that shines the most comes from the elite few that proceed forward despite their circumstances. Choosing to get an education regardless of your home being a cardboard box or with a friend takes a steadfast mind and courage. Parents loving their children letting them stay with a substitute family while remaining homeless themselves shows how selfless they really are. The ultimate sacrifice of laying their…

In the story “The Lottery,” written by Shirley Jackson, I was astonished by the outcome of Tessie being the winner, and yet she got stoned to death. The story was placed in 1948 in a small town where everybody knows everybody’s names. The theme of the story was that tradition isn’t always a good thing. The story shows that tradition should be questioned. This is my favorite story because it gets me thinking about my family’s traditions. The symbolism, foreshadowing, and irony in the story is…

those who are into action and adventure. The movie with its characters and jaw-dropping scenes really keeps the audience attentive at all times. Mad Max was one of the best movies in 2015 and it certainly created a vast amount of money. According to “Box Office Mojo” Mad Max made a total of three hundred and seventy-eight million dollars. It was also ranked #2 in theaters at the time of its official release. Mad Max: Fury Road was an insane film that expressed the fictional interpretation of a…

1) The beginning narration of the movie, or what I will call its 'proem', poses questions and makes statements about everlasting kleos through future generations knowing the names and deeds of heroes. However, one addition the moviemakers add to the movie's 'proem' is an emphasis on love. From an audience/advertising standpoint, this line is directed to those who are not hugely interested in action movies. Essentially, I see the concentration on love as a modern day scheme to entertain a wider…

The documentary Bag It takes an in depth look at the use of the plastic bag and how it impacts our environment. I, like most, have assumed that because an item is recyclable, it can be used indefinitely while providing some level of satisfaction that we as humans have done our due diligence in protecting the environment. This film disproves that theory and takes you on the journey from the grocery store to the belly of a sea turtle. The first plastic bag was made known in the United States as a…

Blows My Mind If we shall be found guilty of anything on the Day of Judgement, it will not be because we believed too much but that we believed too little about all the things God intended for us to experience in this lifetime and eternity. St. Paul, quoting his predecessor the Prophet Isaiah, wrote “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him” (1 Corinthians 2:8) June was a tall redheaded senior of Irish decent and full of life. She…

was made up with previous parts of the old box to keep tradition “There was a story that the present box had been made with some pieces of the box that had preceded it, the one that had been constructed when the first people settled down to make a village here (The Lottery)”. Furthermore, the box holds the ticket slips for voting but this symbol suggest death will come from the box that it is a traditional coffin.” Like the lottery as a whole, the black box has no functionality except during…
