In the Country of Last Things

Is #13 always unlucky? Ask Martina McBride! Her new 13th studio album “Reckless” debuted #2 on the country charts, so apparently not. Upon first listen to this album I thought it was mediocre; however, when I heard it a 2nd time I decided I loved it! How can you not love anything Martina sings? Her voice can be soft and beautiful as well as loud and just as beautiful! She has been nominated 17 times for CMA's female vocalist of the year and won 4 times! Her almost 25-year career speaks for…

The president, one of the few survivors, has given me a vital assignment. He told me, "You are our last chance. We need a plant that can save the people who have been bitten, by allowing the body to be numbed so we…

never known that Honduras is the most murderous country in the world. In my opinion, gangsters and criminals are practically present everywhere on the globe including some developed countries such as America, Germany, Italy, etc. To me, however, the roots of the problem base on three basic things: what and how the local government does in order to control it, the living standards of the people in a country, and the interference of other neighbor countries. If the government are not corrupt and…

Rachel Fortumase A Moment in History During the Roaring Twenties, many things changed in America that were culturally defining. Women began to wear shorter dresses and indulge in more promiscuous behavior.

The aesthetics of the film played well together to make such an interesting plot. Many tools of cinema were used throughout the movie but these two specifically stood out to me to give the movie the meaning that it did.This films ending was surprising, and worked the way it did with…

Introduction Image yourself in a world where you’re safe, the things you do at work are improving the future, you get time to spend with your family and relax, your bills are manageable, and things like the buses are free.

Their most spoken language is French (one of the languages I’ve been dying to learn), their national tree is the…

When was the last time you bought an article of clothing? When was the last time you wore it? The industry of fashion has a more sinister story behind it than most people may realise, but the mistreatment and abuse of fashion industry workers cannot be heard. Asking the question of how our clothes are made and who makes it is simple enough, but would we as a society ever have thought that the people that make them for us live in extremely poor conditions? Children and Developing Countries are…
