Carson does this through an appeal to nature and an appeal to health. Carson evidently cares a lot about nature and her writing supports it. Her appeal to nature approach is very clear s the passage progresses. She addresses the need for change as she talks about the horrible events that occur with the use of pesticides. Carson uses very descriptive stories…

As people become more involved in their own affairs, they often overlook just how vulnerable nature really is.

The excitement of being on their own for the first time overpowers the crippling anxiety that comes with the experience of actually being alone. The adjustments of a new town, new people, and a new way of life for the average incoming freshman at the University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM) are nothing compared to the adjustments international students make when coming…

Tim Burton’s beautifully haunting production of ‘Edward Scissorhands’ introduces our protagonist, represented by Johnny Depp, and explores the fictional story of this solitary boy with an unfortunate seemingly threatening oddity, being thrust into a world where he is glaringly blatant in the midst of the suburbs. Despite his intimidating exterior, it is almost immediately exposed that Edward is just an innocent, childlike soul, intent on serving others. The purpose of this film was to delve into…

While many may believe the original version of the song itself sounds better than the covered form, some covered versions sound better than the original song. Johnny Cash’s cover of ‘Hurt’ took the world by an undoubtable surprise of, well, hurt. His old ragged voice tied into…
