On my first visitation, I went to the Appalachian Dharma & Meditation Center. The Dharma is located in Johnson City, at 108 W. 10th Avenue, Johnson City, Tennessee. The Dharma is in a dentist office, with the meditation center downstairs. The meditation center was beautifully decorated. There was a room out to the side of the meditation, where we have a break and hot tea. The break room was full of different Buddhist books. On the way to Johnson City, my mother and I were both experiencing…

It is seemingly ordinary that John made the decision without the wishes of his wife in the power of the patriarchal society. John rent an almost isolated house, and put his wife in the house. He chose yellow wallpaper for her. He also prohibited her doing anything with…

As I read “A collection of Babylonian Prayers”, I noticed that most of the reading consist of prayers. Unlike praying to one god, like we do. They had three gods named Ishtar, Begetress of all, Nanna, Lord of the Moon, and Bel, Lord of wisdom. Each god had something special that made them different from the other gods and receive curtain prayers. In the first passage To Ishtar, Begetress of all, I realized that a person seem to be unhappy with life. In sentence 10-18 it says “Food I did not eat…

After examining both stories the amount symbolism embedded within the text was astounding. Each story has unique aspects that intertwine with each other while in the same sense each has their own twists and turns spiraling away from the similarities. Two main themes that I found to be extremely gruesome but connecting in both stories was the powerful effect of death and the diminishing of the female sex as a whole.

At the start of the novel Hazel’s introduction of herself is very different against how Augustus describes Hazel in chapter one. Hazel has a negative view upon herself and her life. She describes her situation with her cancer, followed by depression and with with a Paige haircut while, Augustus on the other hand gives readers a better picture of how she really looks, “Pixie-haired gorgeous girl”. In this case it is a matter of opinion upon their state. Hazel has to deal with the fact that death…

Cathy woke up in sweat and nearly crying, sitting down on her bed; thinking fathomless about her dream ― sweet serenades, a bouquet of roses, him...again...the sweet words, the sweet lying words of the one she had loved most. Lies and all the lies she had gained. “Please stop haunting me, Dave. Please do,” she begged hopelessly in the night wind. Crying to sleep, she saw herself pleading to Dave, begging him not to leave her all alone in the dark again, in the pit of darkness where she once…

"There you go dear." She said, handing the book over. "I don't have to pay?" "Of course not, this isn't reality dear." Spoken with a smile. That line alone made Aisling confused by what she meant by it all she did was smile in return and walked out with that book.

The sense of time being almost…
