Heidi Montag

you or make you popular” (2). Teen girls have gotten to the point that they think that if they go under the knife all of their physical flaws are taken care of. However, the emotional vibe telling the individual they were not beautiful will still be there. Not only teen girls, but females in general go under the knife thinking that they will come out looking picture perfect. It is often that the individual does not even know the cost of the procedure they are about to have. They will eventually realize beauty is much more than spending hundreds of dollars on a person they want to be. Instead, they just need to learn how to accept themselves for who they really are. To add, cosmetic procedures did not help Heidi Montag, in fact, it ruined her career as she mentioned. Montag…

In Timothy D. O’Brien’s criticism of Ernest Hemmingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants,” he concentrates mainly on how allusion and word play contribute to the central conflict of the short story. The story mainly consists of the dialogue between the American and Jig. The choice of the nickname Jig, along with the repetition of certain words such as “know” and “fine” stood out to me while reading the story. In addition to the word choice, the train never comes at the end of the story, leaving it…

Montag feels hopeless about understanding the books even though he has read through each one multiple times. He doesn't know how to read between the lines and tell what emotions the author is trying to portray. The sieve has mesh around the entire circumference of the utensil and cannot be used to hold substances. The sand will never be filled and the boy will never receive his dime. A sieve is a kitchen is a kitchen device used to strain foods. This object allows for the separation of…

chapters. The first chapter is titled “The Hearth and the Salamander”, both referencing fire as a Hearth contains this fire, while the Salamander is the symbol of the firemen in the novel. This symbol, while subtle, gives the reader the thought of Montag becoming more than just a normal firefighter and “freeing his mind” so to speak so that he may experience the world for what it truly is. The second chapter is, “the Sieve and the Sand.” According to Webster’s Dictionary a sieve is, “a device…

Bradbury uses this dystopian society that is absolutely insane to show how important it is to really believe in something and to stand up for it. In the story, many people are content to be totally oblivious to what goes on in the world, and are unaware that their lives will stand for nothing, but others are willing to lose their lives for books. I think it is a fantastic way to promote making your life matter, and that Bradbury did something extraordinary when he wrote this book. Bradbury’s…

Montag is the protagonist/anti-hero who rebels against society 's regulations concerning books. Captain Beatty is Montag’s boss who secretly knew of Montag’s illegal actions all along. Both men are rather similar. They both are firefighters who are intelligent and they both have had an interest in books. However, their perspective is very different. Beatty once had an interest in books but “gave them up”. (Who is Guy’s foil in Fahrenheit 451? enotes) Montag’s interest in books has just begun.…

general public. Within the novel shortly after the protagonist Guy Montag meets Clarisse McClellan, Clarisse draws Guy’s attention to her family’s odd behaviour by stating numerous things in which not only made him ponder his own view of life, it also made him aware of his own behaviour. On page 17 after Guy inquires as to why her house lights were blazing, Clarisse states “Oh, just my mother and father and uncle… he was arrested for being a pedestrian. Oh, we’re most peculiar.” Within this…

"Russia is a cauldron of boiling water, tightly closed and placed on a fire that is becoming hotter and hotter. I fear an explosion." (As It Was Lived: 4-18) This very sentence was spoken by a French traveler who visited St. Petersburg. The dramatic change of government from an absolute monarchy to a communist government in Russia came to be because of a variety of different reasons. The revolution came about through a long phase of repression, unrest, and poverty for the average working-class…

My Opinion on Colours Written by: Nesta 7T “Colour is a power which directly influences the soul” ~ Wassily Kandinsky Can you imagine what life would be without colour? Thinking of it gives me chills of a nightmare. Well in “The Giver”, pretty much all the people in Jonas’s community can’t see, or even know of colour. In my opinion, being able to see colour is an extremely remarkable, and is an important physical trait that most humans have. It is important in things such as physical…
