confounding sense of purpose among the entropy that is the universe. This purpose can help free individuals from their doubt, and pain, and lead them to overcome that which was considered impossible, and all while inspiring the people around them. Within Frank Darabont 's Shawshank Redemption, these ideas are represented by one of the main protagonists of the story—Andy Dufresne, a successful young bank manager wrongfully accused of the murder of his wife, and her lover who had unfaithful…

Ambrosio and Matthew Murdock Summary: “Badly Injured Man Not Done Partying Yet.” Fire has a destroying tongue, a whisper of chipped teeth. Society will think it holy, the god for the dark side of humanity sharpening his jaw. It is women with unguarded hearts who tend to the flame, their ribs buried in dirt so they could be without the armor of bone. It’s far easier to reach the muscle, to let it beat in their own way, donning dresses woven by the Furies as a deathless shroud. They are only made…

you now know, singing…” (Coldplay, 2002), because it exemplifies how my time with my family and friends is quickly ticking away. What is your perfect love song? My idea of the perfect love song is “The Way You Look Tonight” by Frank Sinatra. Being a huge Frank Sinatra fan all of my life I was tempted to use so many of his songs as my “perfect” love song. However, this song never fails to amaze me. My favorite lyric is “Someday, when I 'm awfully low. When the world is cold. I will…

“Music has power – especially for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.” (AFA Website 2016). Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible neurodegenerative condition (that deteriorates significantly over time) of a patient’s memory and daily bodily functions. Since humans are living longer and our older population is increasingly getting larger there are more and more people suffering from Alzheimer’s than ever before.

the crime for the thrill of it, “To kidnap a child would be an act of daring—and no one, Loeb proclaimed, would ever know who had accomplished it.” (Baatz 1).

The crime that had been written about hundreds of times “These varied texts, first published in 1924 and then in…

Movies and books have been around for many, many years, and books go back to the start of time. Some people have taken a famous book and made into a picture show, or as we know it today, a movie. However movies can only be so long. Producers have to take away and add stories from the book to fit it in about 2 hours. Many of the movies keep the main story line, but sometimes producers of the show really switch it up. The Devil’s Arithmetic, by Jane Yolen, was written about a Jewish girl who is…

Ever since the evolution of humans, conflicts have been arising, things from making a new America, slavery, and many wars. Each conflict that we have overcome has affected someone. Some questions that help us understand better of this conflict is what are some ways that people respond to conflict, does responding a different way change the outcome, and does the way you respond change the way people think of you?
