Clueless

We become unidentified, clueless, and lost with ourselves then turn into something that we aren’t at all. Our viscous minds and the relentless days that pass by turn into a windy road that leads to an uncomfortable pathway. But we don’t need to focus on gloomy thoughts, gloomy ideas that shut our beautiful minds into crippled up trash.

The little girl does not like how reality is set up, which is separation between within races and unfair treatment…

One example of this comes in a moment of seriousness, when Hamlet is accusing Rosencrantz and Guildenstern of being like sponges, without values or a conscience. Instead of seeing it as this, Rosencrantz expresses his stupidity by asking, “Take you me for a sponge, my lord?” (Ham. 4. 2. 14). This clueless remark serves as a relief for the seriousness of what Hamlet is actually saying. However,…

superstition, and he scoffs openly at any talk of things not to be felt and seen and put down in figures” (Gilman 1). Meaning she will most likely not be talking to John about her beliefs about the wallpaper, leaving John clueless. Consequently, the reader would also be clueless if John was the narrator. Choosing John as a narrator would change the plot of the story completely. With all of these points in mind, the unreliable first person point of view is the best choice for “The Yellow…

firehouse. (Bradbury, Ray. Fahrenheit 451. Simon & Schuster paperbacks, 1951). First off, I would like to address the actions of Captain Beaty. It is difficult to pity a man who took away knowledge, and dared a man to shoot him. Montag, being from the clueless society he lives in, did not think twice about the consequences. As people living in a world today where our actions have consequences, we believe that the murder of a human being is not okay. Although, in terms of Montag's situation, it…

After a while, I regretted everything I did in Junior high, realizing I should have listened and I should have tried harder maybe then…
