It was the twenty-third of October in the year of 2014 at exactly 2:15 P.M. the day was so far very beautiful as I went to Lamar’s University’s Geology building in room 101. When I walked in, it looked like a lecture room that I would have expected to see most of my college life. It bolstered my anxiety for college to new heights as I became worried about my future; I prayed that this presentation that Dr. Beth Anderson was doing would help me feel positive or “Thinking Optimistically” for my…

I have chosen the Japanese for my racial group analysis. I chose them for the sole reason that they are the fewest Asian group in number here in the U.S. The history of Japanese immigrants is not so different from other immigrants such as the Chinese. There are some well known stereotypes and racial slurs about the Japanese that are, in fact, quite absurd. While there aren’t many Japanese Americans, compared to other Asian groups, they still have a large impact in our society. Japan…

And has been for years and cares not for the ways I remember him, or remember remembering him We didn't question. Or complain. It wouldn’t have occurred to us, and it wouldn’t have helped. I was eight. Julie was ten. We didn’t know yet that this blizzard would earn itself a moniker that would be silk-screened on T-shirts. We would own such a shirt, which extended its tenure in our house as a rag for polishing silver. So I didn’t make up the blizzard, though it sounds made up, the grimmest of…

This dream is for romantics and lovers. Certainly the dream isn’t the sum of the colorful patterns of Hawaiian shirts, coconut bras and grass skirts alone. It’s not in the Pina Colada, or the Surfer on Acid. The boutiques of Waikiki teeming with Japanese tourists, those we can ignore all together, laugh at their circumstance. The accoutrements of hustle and bustle such as these have all been and will continue to be part of the Great Marketing image of a Paradise, and everyday life grows like…

Lincoln Cathedral is without a doubt a very well-established building which has received centuries of admiration, but perhaps generically towards its size and impressive dating alone. My subjective experience of the space both internally and externally made me realise that my appreciation and warming towards the structure was provoked from a relational feeling as if the cathedral possessed life-like qualities itself. The visual expression of structure, use of living materials, the sound it…

a better place now. That feeling is exemplified in “The Hospital Blues You Gave to Me” by The Gospel Youth. The singer and songwriter Sam Little tells a story through his lyrics and makes the piece easily relatable all the while creating an upbeat jig that makes a person want to bang their head from the first drumbeat. This song reminds me of a tough period of my life and I am sure that anyone else who listens will feel as nostalgic as I did. Therefore, this song is mournful and relatable thanks…

“Hills like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway: A Literary Analysis & Minimalism Many of the most compelling works of fictional literature that are known today, are also some of the most descriptive pieces of writing. Writers of the 20th century like George Orwell, J.D. Salinger, and John Steinbeck, whose novels are widely prominent in American culture, used many adjectives to convey the emotions and opinions of the characters in their stories. During the 1950s however, Minimalism became a…

combined with extensive editing for linguistic success. “The use of symbols in Hills Look Like White Elephants all revolve around the underlying issue the couple is having about making some highly important decisions. As previously discussed the women, Jig, is avoiding communication with the man. The man, however, is not listening to what the woman has to say about the matter.” over time developed and transformed itself into a more appropriate P.I.E formatted introduction to the usage of symbols…

Getting Started When choosing a good setup to start fishing especially for bass, I found bigger is not always better. I started out with a 7-foot FLW Platinum pole and a Quantum standard spinning reel. I found that when I hooked my first bass I hardly knew that he was on. This defeats the whole objective of enjoying the fight these great fish deliver. I then moved to an Ultra-light 5-foot Quantum with an ultra-light reel. This was more like it. Even the one-pounders felt like something really…

In this passage, Beatrice uses simile to compare Benedick to a disease. This shows how she sees Benedick-- an unwanted, irritating, detrimental pestilence, with the ability to drive people downright insane. On the contrary, Beatrice thinks well of Claudio, especially compared to Benedick. She hopes he would not be affected by “the…
