At first, I thought it was going to be very long and painful to read due to its length and terminology. After reading the opening paragraph, I knew I was going to be into it. Science is one of my strong areas, whereas literature, let alone criticizing it, is a far stretch from a strong area. But somehow, the article related the literature and science in a way that some…
I believe the best way to describe a typical TCNJ student is in one word - talented. Throughout my multiple visits at the college it’s never surprising to find someone on the lawn painting at a level to impress Monet or hear something amazing play coming from the windows of Mayo Hall. Out of all the schools in New Jersey my heart remains set on TCNJ because it’s an institution with a personality. There is a perfect balance of academics and opportunity that many schools are striving to achieve.…
about football, and what it will give me in life. One day I was extremely tired from all my test and we had a game, vs. Grand Rapids, that day and I had slept the entire way there which was only an hour drive but it was long enough for almost half of the team to fall asleep on the way to the game.

mind. My drastic change in perspective of the English subject had simply started with my emotional revolution, whether this year would be different or if it would be like any other English year, but everything was different this year, it was the grand opening of Mr. Royal’s comforting and soothing words of wanting us to improve to the multi-media we have drawn a bridge of connections to, for example, Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes to even the stories we have read that are in the horror…
Hypocrisy: The World Religion According to Voltaire “Candide”, or the most monotonous baffling time consuming short satire ever constructed according to the author of this essay, is a French satire published in 1759 by Voltaire, a philosopher in the Age of Enlightenment. Candide, meaning “innocent”, is fitting for the name of the protagonist in this story. At first he is very sheltered from the rest of the world and a tad bit ignorant.

Paul Goldberger opens his essay by explaining the great depth that architecture emerges into art. My attention was immediately grabbed when he was explaining how architecture, “can be as tiny a gesture as painting the front door of a house red or grand as undertaking as creating the rose window of a cathedral”. He was explaining how architecture has no standard minimum or limitation within the design. Goldberger is supporting his evidence alongside how Frank Lloyd Wright explained how he…

Contrast between masculine dominance is contrasted with feminine chattiness in “The hypno-domme Speaks and Speaks and Speaks.” Opening with, “I was born a woman, I talk you to death,” the poem describes a woman’s voice as a method of torture because it is nagging. Like a siren’s song that “hypnotize the hardest,” men the hypno-domme subverts the lack of power women appear to have when speaking forcefully. “The diamond cutter kneels down before me,” because the hypno-domme gained control despite…
T2L2, 10). Ikenberry describes that there are various strands of liberalism. One strand is that “free trade and economic openness both create and reinforce democracy, because open markets support more open and less autocratic regimes” (America’s Grand Liberal Strategy p. 48). Liberalism’s logic believes free trade will give rise to a state’s well-being, which will create more peace amongst the state. Ikenberry asserts that “The liberal international order has succeeded over the decades because…
