Howl

As the conductor entered the silent hall, the lights over the audience started to dim until only the orchestra was illuminated. With his penguin-like coattails wobbling behind him, the conductor stepped onto the gray and worn-out podium, and checked each face of his performers. The small wrinkles on his cheeks slightly lifted as each member grinned back at the conductor. The dimly-glowing white baton began to rise in the air, and with a small twist in the wrist, slowly swirled in front of the…

A few blocks away stood a young boy injured in the abandoned town only partially lit by flickering street lights, isolated from all other existence. Little did he know he was making his way towards the old manor. The boy struggled through the empty streets. He heard something fall from a surface and hit the floor in paranoia his eyes followed the sound. He found himself peering through a store window; what he then saw paralysed him with fear… emerging from the darkness was a tall shadowy figure…

I have only one love in my life, and that is peanut butter. Nothing could make me not want that delicious snack. I would have peanut butter everything. Peanut butter cookies, sandwiches, candy bars, you name it and I ate it. My mother would support my addiction by giving me one spoonful every day unless I was sneaky and took more without her knowing. Even my dogs had their own jar that my parents would give them as a treat and watch them smack their little dog tongues against the roof of their…

Colonization is interpreted as conquering new lands and imposing one’s culture on the native people. Like the Europeans who seized the land of the Native Americans and enslaved many, Prospero is the invader of a magical land that he plans to rule. Using his superior knowledge he plans to enslave the original inhabitants and force them to do his bidding. Although there is no direct address to the New Word in Shakespeare’s The Tempest. The play can be interpreted in context to the New World…

they ate well carried what they could in their rucksacks and destroyed the rest. Sherman had plans to make the Confederate soldiers choose between their families and the Army they fought with, Sherman claimed “I can make the march, and make Georgia howl” and that he did, even before entering Savannah. Sherman lead his troops into battle, Confederate forces knew it would be a bloody battle and started destroying facilities before the Union forces even entered the city, was this part of…

Punch does not spare the intellect of the Jamaica Committee either during the Eyre Controversy. For Hasian, ‘Eyre's defenders viewed themselves as pragmatic realists who were caught in a discursive struggle with idealist philanthropists who simply did not understand the politics and pressures that were involved in colonial matters’ (86). The ignorance of the members of the Committee is emphasised when one of them makes a mistake about British history. (“Chronology in Clerkenwell”) A comrade…

Dream a Little Dream “Sigmund Freud believed that nothing you do occurs by chance; every action and thought is motivated by your unconscious at some level. In order to live in a civilized society, you have a tendency to hold back our urges and repress our impulses” (Dream Moods). All throughout the novel, Raskolnikov’s encounters a series of dreams that are heavily demonstrated by the Psychoanalytic Theory. In this theory, Freud constructs three main parts that include the id, ego, and superego…

and saw an almighty rodeo that was filled with plug-ugly trouble. The rodeo was a zoo. There were horses flying and people tumbling right off their stallions. Now Reba had to do something. So she huffed and she puffed and she yelled out the biggest Howl ever.…

“The shortest way home is through Berlin and Tokyo.” That isn’t particularly smart, considering they are 8,911 km (or 5537.039 miles) apart. So why did General George Patton tell the 3rd Army this? Because they were about to enter into the biggest push of their lives. It was the middle of WWII, and they were forcing Nazi troops out of Normandy. When he spoke to his men, he wanted them to be brave and fight as hard as humanly possible. He spoke with such passion, inspiration, and power that…

Parris changes dramatically throughout the action in The Crucible. In Act One, he rejects any involvement of witchcraft to protect his reputation in Salem. He wishes that the townspeople should “leap not to witchcraft… [because the townspeople] will howl [him] out of Salem for such corruption in [his] house” (13). However, after Reverend Hale remarks that the reason that the Devil chose Parris’s house to strike is because “it is the best that the Devil wants, and who is better than the…
