Austin O’mally once said, “A child is an uncut diamond.” This quote shows how fragile a child’s innocence is. Innocence is like glass, beautiful, fragile, and precious, but once it is shattered it is merely impossible to restore.

First and foremost, Walker uses foreshadowing to reveal the theme. At first, Walker shows…

When I got to the room I observed on the north wall to the west section of the room was a window with two bullet holes. I…

The recent 2008 Financial Crisis, dubbed the Great Recession, has been one of the worst financial panics to grip this nation since the Great…

On Tuesday October 20th, 2015, I went with my sister and dad to see Gidion’s Knot at Centre Stage. The play is about the course of a parent/teacher conference, where a grieving mother and an emotionally overwhelmed primary school teacher have a fraught conversation about the tragic suicide of the mother's son, Gidion. Gidion may have either been bullied, or he may have been an abuser. As his story is slowly uncovered, the women try to reconstruct a satisfying explanation for Gidion's act and…
