There are various types of devils described in Milton’s Paradise Lost. Left to their own devices, after Satan embarks on his journey to find God’s new “creation”, the devils form cliques and divide themselves up by interests. One group of Milton’s devils heads Mammon’s advice and seek to improve hell, a group of “false” philosophers ponder their circumstances, another group heads off to explore every corner of hell, and the “more mild” (2. 546) devils decide to seclude themselves from the…

Charlotte Wood's novel, The Natural Way of Things provides a critique of its dystopic civilization as well as the wider society it developed from. The human condition includes a disconnect between internal thoughts and external behaviour when faced with challenging situations.

Wood's novel provides…

As a child, I had a love for many movies, but I had a special love for a specific movie, The Breakfast Club. My Father says that I would sit in front of the Television and watch this movie for hours at a time. Some would believe that it is odd for a child, my age, to love the movies that I do. Ever since I can remember, I have had a love for movies from the 80’s. My favorites included: Sixteen Candles (1984), The Goonies (1985), Beetlejuice (1988), and especially Dirty Dancing (1987). Actually,…

I learned something about myself from every friendship that was shaped. I learned that I was fearless, outgoing, and spontaneous, while still being conserved. I quickly learned that you cannot befriend…

In attempt to develop range in my observation of support groups, I once again found myself returning to an old stomping ground. Throughout my years in high school, I dedicated several hours a week to my local church in a growth group for high school girls. Although I currently experience mixed emotions with religion, I recalled how influential it was during my teenaged years to have such support, convincing me to return to observe a group to identify ways in why it was so helpful for me during…
