refreshingly cool; the inside was presented in a sophisticated manner. I could not help but feel out of place in my messy school uniform while men and women dressed in clothing that reminded me of a funeral. The council meeting room had wooden like walls and chairs facing the places where the council members would take their place. Our first mission was to acquire a signature from one of the members. Awkwardly, me and my fellow students stumbled about the room timidly looking for a member who…

Tiziana Mata Anthem The Argument Essay Imagine living in a society where being yourself wasn't allowed. Or voicing your opinion. Or even standing out from the crowd. That society is called an Anthem society. An anthem society is where you are restricted to do your own things, like thinking and write, and being a quick learner. Equality 7-2521 had to face these restrictions nose to nose. Equality 7-2521 fell in love, did his own things, smiled, thought and wrote to himself, and was a quick…

magazine influence. First we should talk about one of the main methods of influence that people have been using for centuries. Brainwashing is the act of systematically changing someone’s beliefs or attitude.

Bodies fell like apples from a tree to the ground in deep prayer and the sound of it echoed through the sanctuary of the Church of St. Valentine. At dire times such as this, extreme measures had to be taken. The blood of a pure youth, a delectable sacrifice in the eyes of their savior, filled the room with a certain smell that made the mind alert and the heart pound. Her blood spilled on the altar, the lifeless body of Maylene Lagorio looked like a sleeping angel’s in the light of the midnight…

It has often been said that the European Union suffers from a democratic deficit. This notion derives from the fact that prior to 1979, none of the EU institutions had directly elected members and therefore there was no democratic accountability to the citizens of the EU.
