They named their…

Nana’s Touch On the evening of June 17, 2013, my mother spoke three words that forever changed my life. She said “Madison, she’s gone,” and my stomach dropped twelve feet below the surface and my whole world turned inside out and upside down. My Nana was the first real loss in my life. My family and I would visit room 107 to see her beautiful glowing face every week. I would roll her down to the cafeteria to see all of her friends and play a good old fashioned game known as Bingo and we won…

Centro Cristiano Adonai: A Place of Worship for Evangelical Christians The place of worship that I chose to visit is called Centro Cristiano Adonai (Adonai Christian Center). It is a place for worship for the Christian faith (evangelist). Prior to my visit my knowledge of this place of worship was minimal. I do not consider myself a religious person, attending church was not a priority growing up, but attending church on important dates within the catholic religion was a must. I went to church…

When Marcela is introduced in the story she is waiting for Mayor Romero to be interrogated about her role in the revolution. In the story, she says, “They brought me to this jail in the capital not to long before our leadership fell. They almost always bring me to this room so Mayor Romero can interrogate me” (6). While she is waiting for Mayor Romero a flashback occurs and readers learn about what impacted. In the flashback, Marcela was at a sandy place doing social work and her daughter got…

purple is a symbol that represents Hang’s major struggle in the novel. As a symbol of the shift in Vietnamese culture, it shows the major struggle which Hang must go through to find her own purpose. This is also represented by the golden rings and earrings in which Tam gives to Hang. Hang’s willingness to sell them and use them for money shows the shift into the new Vietnamese lifestyle, while Tam and Que wanting them to remain an heirloom represents the old Vietnamese lifestyle. Through the use…

is the first time when Romeo first sees Juliet. He says, “(to a SERVINGMAN) Who is the girl on the arm of that lucky knight over there”?. Then says, “Oh, she shows the torches how to burn bright! She stands out against the darkness like a jeweled earring hanging against the cheek of an African. Her beauty is too good for this world; she’s too beautiful to die and be buried”. It’s safe to say that is was love at first sight for Romeo, and with that he would do anything to win the heart of the…

First and foremost in taking this systematic approach, our eyes gravitate towards the rounded Assyrian crown being worn on its head, calling to mind some connotations of high regality. The “hairpiece” falls in layers of sorts, extended down around the ear(s) and encompassing the back of the head and neck. The hair itself slides out naturally, forming in dreaded, distinct, almost “curled” ends, which come together in reaching the shoulder(s); prominent and imposing, as Assyrian manes were usually…

During our class activity we shared our culture collage. The hardest part of the challenge for the group was finding the appropriate picture to uses for this activity. The easiest part of this activity was sharing with the group why we choose these specific pictures for our collage. During this activity group members acted extremely interested in each group members collage. As for myself, during this activity I acted very respectful and involved in each members collage, I asked several…

another. In The Round House there is always this sense of superiority with all of the non-Natives over those who are Native no matter what relationship they may have with the Natives. For example, it says “Then I told him about Sonja’s diamond stud earrings and the lizard-skin boots and about the night Whitey beat on her and how it looked like she was planning to get away from him and I told him how much money I had found.” “She could get real far on that..” (238) Sonja is a non-Native who is…

average people and she is too good for that. In addition, her love for fashion is emphasized when she describes, in great depth, what she is wearing to ride the subway. A maroon satin floor-length dress with matching sandals and “simple” diamond earrings. She derives immense pleasure from the attention she receives upon making her entrance. Specifically, the male attention, as she thinks to herself, “The men are pleased when I come on the subway…” (16). Quirky in her narcissistic nature, the…
