I was struck by how Lorde describes the spirituality of the erotic. Lorde makes sure to explain that the erotic is spiritual in a different way than what is deemed traditionally spiritual. While discussing the spirituality of the erotic, Lorde relates the knowledge of her “capacity for feeling” that comes from the recognition of the erotic, and the satisfaction she derives from that knowledge (190). She also describes the process of realizing that that satisfaction “does not have to be called…

By providing gruesome, penetrating, and insightful visual imagery, King symbolizes Danny’s acceptance of his responsibilities brought on by his Shining, and his increase in maturity. King uses horrific imagery when Danny imagines images of death to symbolize his decision to stop Jack. King describes, “...death images came to [Danny]: dead frog plastered to the turnpike like a grisly stamp; Daddy's broken watch lying on top of a box of junk to be thrown out; gravestones with a dead person under…

Superpowers in cartoons and comic books are usually given to fictional characters who hide in the background of life. The writers do that to give ordinary people something to feel special about. They are given powers such as flying, speed, or invisibility, but hardly ever given the power to know everything or to receive special knowledge. Why is that?

Within the first few minutes I was able to meet my, hopefully, future mascot and played with him for a for as long as I could. My tour guide brought me into the buildings and I noticed how small the classroom sizes were…

reader with regard to the themes in the novel (Brown, 19890).
