Earring

We had just come from my granddaughter’s basketball game and we had decided to go to the Bob Evans in Marysville. That particular Bob Evans does not have a good reputation with me but since my dear grandchildren wanted to eat there I simply replied, “Why not.”. When we got inside a very cheery room greeted us. There was a beautiful chandelier covering twenty or so tables with green tablecloths and the usual condiments. “It looks good enough.” I thought optimistically. When we sat down it was…

Sergei’s paranoia is his main attribute that forms his other traits and persona. It leads to his hostility as too protect himself because of his belief that no one would want to create a ny sort of relationship with him without an ulterior motive. This results in him having no social relationships, making him lonely. This trait is emphasized by the comparison of the other character in this story, Yonatan. Yonatan’s section of the story is filled with short run on sentences, commas, and…

One of the many arguments that Singer presents throughout his article, “The Life You Can Save”, has made Mr. Singer a preeminent and well-known philosopher. Singer claims that in not donating to human organization, those in a financial position to do so are acting immorally. Donating substantial bulk of your earnings to people that can’t meet their basic needs is a step to true happiness. Mr. Singer explains that in 2009, there was a total estimate of 10 million children under the age of 5 that…

sun rises and sets day in and day out, I feel myself forgetting the inflections in her voice, the folds and lines in her face. I am forgetting the details of the last hug she gave me; how I winced in pain because she hugged me so tightly that her earring was pressed against my skin, as if to predict the pain I would be in only one month later. The last thing she gifted to me, a silver, heart-shaped necklace with lavender pearl in the center signifying love, the only solid object I have left of…

After visiting the Minneapolis Institute of Art I chose to write a visual analysis of Lucretia of 1666 by the artist Rembrandt van Rijn. After reading the placard I learned that Rembrandt van Rijn painted Lucretia to consist of two paintings, the first consisting of Lucretia (1664) before she takes her life which is held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC and the second consisting of after Lucretia stabbed herself (1666) which is held at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The…

Through a comparative study of a pair of texts, the responder is able to analyse literary context as well as compare and contrast themes and ideas presented in order to gain an understanding of these…

The first thing I noticed when I walked into Jasmine Middle School was how big the eighth graders were. I knew that in middle school the sixth graders would be the babies, but it was still kind of a shock at how big eighth graders really were; well, at least I hoped the kids I was looking at were eighth graders. If the group of kids hanging out by the lockers were seventh graders, then eighth graders must be huge. Luckily, after looking around for a few seconds, I spotted my best friend,…

Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Visit My visit at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) was a long one – however, the visit was still an exquisite one because some of the artwork that was there that caught my eyes. There were countless stunning and alluring artworks at the VMFA that I took pictures of in the collections I visited. I went to the American + European Design Collection (Art Deco and Art Nouveau), the African Art Collection, the East Asian Art Collection, and the South Asian Art…

An increase in minimum wage has been a debated topic for decades upon decades. If raised, would the effects be damaging or helpful in relation to employment and how working families would be affected if such an increase in minimum wage was to occur. Employment, in terms of employment rate, could go either up or down. If the minimum wage was increased by 10%, than it would come with a 4.6 to 9% decrease in employment. This being a consequence of raising the meaning wage, a lack of job creation…
