That week composed of sleepless nights, endless supply of Redbull, and constant cramming of class material. The night all started at my buddies house in Ladue. It was about 5:00 p.m. and the sun was setting on my beautiful hometown of Saint Louis. All of us boys rendezvoused at his house like soldiers before D-Day, all…

the most shopped on day in the US, was an interesting one. I’ve always thought Black Friday was something that shouldn’t be as advertised as it is, I went only one year and after that I have never went again. It had nothing to do with Black Friday itself. But, waiting in long lines for something that is probably going to be on sale again isn’t something that I find enjoyable. Now, since they also start Black Friday on Thanksgiving, it makes me not want to do it even more so. I don’t like that…

Dream of the Rood allows the audience to remember the story of the crucifixion and how it made them feel. The emphasis is on the cross and the loyalty is gives to Christ. To connect with his audience, the narrator breaks his dream into three parts. To get the full effect, we must remember how the story of the crucifixion made us feel. Dream of the Rood is similar to Christian George Stevens’ The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) because both show commitment to the cross. The GSET takes the most…

Introduction On November 24th I got in my car, and drove down to my local mall. I did this to observe the new American tradition of Black-Friday. Black-Friday is a consumer holiday of sorts, that immediately follows Thanksgiving, and serves as the immediate transition into the Christmas season. It must be noted that this transition takes place nearly a full month prior to the holiday itself, creating a “Holiday Season”, rather than a day itself. I choose this site as it was similar to most…
