Cunt

I wake up the next day to Lefty stroking my hair. As I slowly open my eyes, I gaze up giving off a satisfied smile. “Good morning, Beautiful,” Lefty said as he leans in to kiss me. He places a gentle kiss on my lips as he asks, “how are you feeling this morning?” A faint laugh comes from me as I answer, “better now that I see you.” Lefty smirks as he settles himself back in the bed. He lays on his side face to face with me as he continues to run his fingers through my locks. I bring up my hand…

Masculinity: Dominance through Music The presence of the male figure has in no doubt been very dominant throughout history and in daily life. As a society, we seem to value the power of the man and we teach our children to value and embody that power as well. Our society over time has developed certain expectations and roles we expect men and women to exemplify in their daily life. For such a long time, people have adhered to these expectations; however, these expectations have been questioned…

Also on Kate’s side of their family her two biological cousins have been diagnosed with severe autism. 63, (a) I only agree with the first three words on this sentence. I deny the adverse allegation made against me. It was Kate that called me a dumb cunt and she also threw a remote control at my head. As a result, I was left with a large abrasion on my head. It was Kate that said to me why are you not talking to me. It was me that started crying and I said: Stop, please stop. It was Kate that…

Henry V’s reign mirrors Elizabeth I’s since they both attempt to unify their country, England, by restoring national pride and building a unified nation against centrifugal forces. Henry can only unify his kingdom by defeating France in the war. Since Henry’s nation is at war with the French, their cultures and languages must also be at war. Similarly, Henry V is performed during Elizabeth I’s era to emphasize this cultural superiority of England and revive a similar national pride to that in…

The Last Jarrell Family Vacation When my father told my brother and I that the family was going on a trip to France, my brother threw the water bottle he was holding into the ceiling fan. Water and plastic exploded everywhere. My dad screamed and my mom whimpered. I laughed. Last week Tommy bought his first car. It’s a used 1998 Toyota Civic. Even though it is old and shitty, Tommy loves his car more than he loves dad or mom or me. Mom took a photography class at the community college…

of money. After four years of sporadic visits home on leave, all I wanted, now, was to go somewhere that was vaguely familiar, to feel some faint connection to a past I’ll never again touch. I get this instead. “Oh my God,” gasps some pixie haired cunt when she sees me, “I thought I saw a ghost.” Derek is manning the sound booth while a girl reads poetry from a notebook onstage. My guitar is sitting in the hard case by the wall. I order a pitcher of Summit Ale.…

He burst out into the light, the stone under his feet turned to soft grass. The light was so bright and beautiful. Yet Amaimon found he was not fully outside, but in a garden. He had thought the palace only had garden. It was walled in, he could not escape from here. Tears filled his eyes as that hope flew from his mind. He brushed the tears away. Oh well, he told himself, trying to cheer up, at least you can still come here while father is out. At least he got to be outside for a little while.…

In The Problem with Old Harjo, Ceremony and The Bird is Gone there is a thread that is wound from one to the next, bringing these three text into unity with one another. This thread is concerned with ones identity, causing the reader to question whether identity is dependent upon what you culturally identify with, or whether it is possible to separate yourself from a culture that is imposed upon you due to your skin tone. All three of the stories have an interesting way of looking at identity…

Thus, following a conversation at the backstage between Régis and a local dealer (the “Pablo Escobar” of Neuhof), we learn that the money that comes from drug-dealing is the way Régis chooses so as to earn an income without being subjected to the regulated work, thus retaining intellectual and physical independence. His only collaboration with the capitalist circuit will be with the bourgeoisie itself, i.e., the owners of the means of production (in the music industry, Universal Studios, in…

Beth Bailey’s work Sex in the Heartland goes into a deep analysis of sexual revolution throughout America in the 1960s. Using Lawrence, Kansas as a representation of the rest of the country, Bailey argues that the sexual revolution emerged from both sexual and non-sexual changes during the Second World War, and continued to grow as repressive elites attempted to halt the growth of sexual culture through Kansas University administration, the distribution of an oral contraception for unmarried…
