'The American Dream ' appeared to be inaccessible due to what the title connotes and because of the 'Great Depression ', which arose after economic issues (the wall street crash) and eco logical (dust bowls caused by over farming) began, adding to the strain on society. 'The American Dream ' was…

improved to make people swim even faster than in the 1980’s. For one, wetsuits are now made thicker so they aren’t as easy to tear. They are also easy, to take off to help shave off time in transitions (“Triathlon”). Wetsuits are not only made to reduce drag and make one swim faster, but also to help get it on and off as quickly as possible. The wetsuits have arm and leg cuffs and formulated silicone coating to get the suit off faster. Some wetsuit brands like Zone 3 have downwards zips to make…

In Zora Neale Hurston’s autobiography Dust Tracks On a Road, she explains that her childhood was a free yet restrictive through the diction, what her parents’ and what they expected from her, and how she has trouble finding herself in her comfortable life. Through her childhood memories, Zora uses vivid imagery and languages to show how it was. They had many fruits like oranges and guavas in their yard to eat and share and games they played since their childhood were “hide and whoop,…

Steven Spielberg’s great stoic hero. In Saving Private Ryan, he’s the schoolteacher soldier, trying to maintain a semblance of sense in the chaos of World War II; in Catch Me If You Can, he’s the befuddled Fed, blustering through every airy caper to drag the conman hero back down to earth. And in Bridge of Spies, Hanks plays James B. Donovan, a lawyer who defended the Soviet spy Rudolf Abel after his arrest in 1957, performing the vital duty of representing American fairness, and giving Abel his…

awaited them so they would hide themselves and their children in the tall grass hoping to not be seen by the vicious predators lurking. Others would end their potential for imaginable suffering and would drown themselves before anyone would be able to drag them off. Some of the people taken for slavery were being punished for minor crimes, debt, or religious offenses, but the majority were free…

In the poem, “Nikki-Rosa,” Nikki Giovanni uses diction and imagery to prove that her childhood was happy in spite of her hardships. She incorporates universal concepts of childhood memories within her poem in an attempt to convey the anecdote of her youth. Through the utilization of diction such as “happy birthdays and Christmases”(20), Giovanni effectively illustrates a nostalgic image of a childhood which others of opposite descent or race such as caucasians couldn’t relate to or understand…

times. Every magazine, television or website has carnage and destruction on it. It makes you question if genuinely good people still exist anymore or if everyone is out to get every one else. Humanity is pretty cruel but luckily not everyone is out to drag someone else down, and there are people who are trying to do good for fellow man. Thor Halvorssen is a human rights activist from Venezuela who is trying to protect his fellow man. Thor Halvorssen is a humans rights activist who was born in…

other than taking their lives are Lord Capulet and Juliet's nurse. Lord Capulet is responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet because he was extremely hateful. When Juliet told him she did not want to marry Paris, he told Juliet that he would drag her to the church(3.5.154-155). Juliet’s father also describes her as a “wretched puling fool,” “green sickness,” and “baggage” (3.5.184,156,157).…

single use plastics. Who would have thought that thousands of miles off shore you would find tiny “nurdles” or virgin plastic floating in the ocean? I honestly did not even know that this is what virgin plastic was termed. I had no idea that you could drag the surface of the ocean in the middle of no-where and find this stuff floating. I thought the documentary was well done and it surprised me that thirteen people were actually on that small vessel. The documentary included a wide variety of…

The first interesting thing attracts me in this article is its title --- “Gay Bars and Broadway: They Go Together”. I think “gay” is a sensitive but controversial topic. And I am a person who never go to gay bar, but it doesn't mean, I oppose homosexuality. On the contrary, I think they are brave, they do not mind how people think about them, just be who they are. That is a reason why I choose this article, and the other reason is, I really want to know, how the broadway connect with the gay bar…
