Motivation Is In the Light Have you ever stumbled into a rough situation where you needed motivation and guidance to help you feel better? Emily Dickinson wrote two poems that showed the steps she took to get out of the darkness andto get into the light. Just like everyone, she was going through a low point during her life and eventually found the way to get better. Through all of the hardships that we go through, there is always a light of motivation that will help you through it all. You may…

The Winter Soldier’s horse shies away from the wind, sharp with a chill and damp that Bucky can no longer feel. The clouds gather hard upon the peaks of Sokovia, reeking of rain and worse to the vampire’s supernatural nose. A few stubborn leaves dangle from bare branches like decayed flesh clings to bone. Bucky sighs. “You coddle him,” his companion says. Bucky turns in his saddle. “That’s not what I was thinking.” Natasha snorts, a strange sound from a fellow blood drinker but that’s…

use of sin, guilt, and consciousness, warns in “Young Goodman Brown” the long-term effects of temptation and the dark effects growing up under Puritan faith can have on an individual. Nathaniel Hawthorne reveals Young Goodman Brown’s (YGB’s) immaturity and stubbornness using religious temptations during Brown’s journey through the forest. Hawthorne uses strong literary devices to expose to the reader brown’s inability to grow up since Brown clings to his faith and life comforts, which causes the…

“Walking Point”, is a poem published in the Iowa Review written by Terry Hertzler. While flipping through the journal, the poem did not seem interesting at all but I decided to read it anyway. The poem is a free verse poem that consists of seven tercets. The whole first stanza focuses on describing a young child. When I first read the first stanza, I thought that the poem would be about a young boy going on a walk or an adventure given that there is a whole stanza focused on him, and that the…

called, “Young Goodman Brown” about a man’s spiritual journey in Puritan America. A hundred and fifty-six years later Bret Easton Ellis wrote, “American Psycho” once more focusing a man’s journey, although less about his spirit and more of his psychological problems during the 1980s. Although, on the surface, these two stories do not seem similar they do share a lot of similarities, almost to the point where American Psycho could be seen as a newer version of Young Goodman Brown, just with a…

Young Goodman Brown is named “Faith” for a reason. It gives the reader a clue that Faith was named to represent the faith of Young Goodman Brown; such as the faith in this own life or the faith in god. For example when it states “Come, Goodman Brown, cried his fellow-traveler; this is a dull pace for the beginning of the journey. Take my staff, if you are soon weary” and “We are but a little way in the forest yet.” This quotes shows that the devil tested the faith of Young Goodman Brown, the…

If the building you were in started catching on fire, would you jump out of a window or would you burn to death? Some people would say jump, but what if the building was ten stories tall, would you still jump? You might think that this is the worst case scenario, but this actually happened in real life. In 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist Company factory caught on fire killing and injuring many of the workers. Isaac Harris and Max Blanck were the owners of the factory. The Triangle Shirtwaist…

There is a famous proverb that says, “the devil finds work for idle minds”. What this proverb is saying is that, when kids are idle or when they have nothing to do, the devil is going to find something for them to do. Over the years there have been arguments that have negated the link between unemployment and crime. There is indeed such a link between the two as according to Hibbert (2014), 60% of murders committed in Jamaica during the time period 2013-2016 were done by persons between the ages…

magazine. Cosmopolitan magazine has a very interesting history as it was initially realized in 1886 and was considered a family magazine. In the 1960’s it eventually became a women’s magazine. Helen Gurley Brown became chief editor in 1965 and reinvented it for single career women. Brown set the magazine apart from others by openly discussing sexuality from the point of view that women could enjoy sex without guilt. Today cosmopolitan is the largest-selling young women’s magazine in the…

A breeze fluttered Perceval’s hair as he gazed in desolation at the closed drawbridge on the other side of the moat. What was he to do now? He needed that Grail to heal not only the Fisher King, but also his ill mother. Perceval pulled on the reins of his horse and brought it about-face towards the ominous forest behind him. He saw no point in raving like a madman at the deserted castle, and so, the only option Perceval saw left was to venture into the woods to look for someone who could tell…
