Feminism, curiosity, and fear are three grand symbols that depict the women of the 1920s; Women that were just as just as fearful to break the conventional behavior and just as anxious to tear off the Victorian-shackles and explore their newly established gender freedom. The Great Gatsby captures all of these symbols successfully while still presenting a tragic love story. F. Scotts Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby, fabricates the story of a long lost romance con-stantly changing back and…

Ever since I was little, I’ve always wanted to be a cheerleader. The glitter, pom-poms, and how pretty they always were made me want to be a part of that world some day. My junior year of high school, I prepared myself to try out to be a part of the 2015-2016 Hazen Cheer team. To say that I was nervous would be a complete understatement, because I was scared out of my mind. I wanted to keep it on the down low and I only told two of my closest friends. I knew that if I didn’t make the team I…

It was fall when my grandfather died. Sitting in the kitchen one afternoon after school, my mother walked over to me with stained cheeks and delivered the bad news. Sitting there shocked as any child who received this type of news would have. See my grandfather had a long history of alcohol addiction and had been in and out of hospitals before so while shocking, his passing was not out of nowhere. One failed liver, and a few days later I sat on my bed thinking, not sad anymore just at odds.…

The second example of satire is “Did you read last nights assignments?” Say “yes” and get hammered again. Say…

If there is a female in these works, she is a stereotypical young and gorgeous woman who fulfills the hero’s every desire. However, it is unusual that a woman in the story is anything but aesthetically pleasing, unless she is meant to be the antagonist. Women in literature serve as one of the many societal standards that trick young girls into thinking that they must live up to in order to be beautiful. This causes…

The way one display’s themselves to the world and universe can say a lot about who they are as a person. However, as society evolves and changes it is becoming increasingly more popular to cover one’s inward feelings and portray a mask of perfection and beauty. In Edward Arlington Robinson’s Richard Cory the main character, Richard Cory himself struts through the town showing off his regal and flashy attire, at least what was considered flashy in the time this was written. This sartorial choice…

“The Hammer of God” by G.K Chesterton unleashes the confined attitudes of individuals who obtain a lack of discernment and clarity. At times of chaos and mystery the way the individuals think portrays how blind and ignorant people can be, based off of social status and assumptions compared to factual evidence. Very few people understand the true nature of human beings. Individuals in society tend to pass judgement on one another due to appearance and social hierarchy. However, “The Hammer of…
