Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use” is a very interesting story. In the story the characters are Dee, Maggie and Mama. Mama is the narrator of the story and she describes herself as being a big- boned woman with rough, man working hands. Maggie was is described as being very shy. She has scars on her body from when their old house burned up and she was caught in the fire. As a result of this Maggie felt safer at home with her mom.

Survival is a state of mind. It’s not always life or death: Sometimes it’s a matter of others not finding out what happened. “I was so naive as a kid I used to sneak behind the barn and do nothing.” Johnny Carson had that right. Until that day, I was pretty squeaky clean. Being a senior gave me an unspoken freedom, though. Picture it. The day was cold; it was freezing, really. The freezing drizzle was hard to keep off my short, 2-mile drive from our big red farmhouse to school. It was…

The mother tells us she is a "big-boned woman with rough, man-working hands" (876). We can see a large rough woman, who wears overalls during the day and a flannel nightgown when she goes to bed. Because she compares herself to a man many times, we can picture what she looks like. She and her daughters are black, but she describes Dee as being lighter than her other daughter, Maggie. She seems to be dreaming about how beautiful Dee probably is after all these years. She continues her daydreaming…

The production of She Kills Monsters by Qui Nguyen was performed by the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film and directed by Wesley Broulik. I attended the performance on April 9th, 2016 at 7:30 pm. Overall, I really enjoyed the performance. The whole plot of the story kept me very intrigued.

along with many others that I can't remember off the top of my head. When thinking about it now, I lived my life the way many wish they could live theirs: absolutely loving their job. One time I was invited to be a guest on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. After that, I was invited back twenty-six times. We were both skeptics, and I was especially interested in popular misconceptions about science. Course this led to the two public symposia I organized on fringe-science topics. The first one…

Tensions between Parents and Children I had very conflicting interests of what my success should be five years ago. I had the opinions of what my mother thought I should be and always seem to strive to be what people wanted me to be, versus my authentic self. I’ve got incredibly inspiration over the years by a famous author name Merriam Williamson. She states that “our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate or deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure”. The idea of…
