Everywhere you look in life there are different sorts of symbols and conflicts, especially in literature that’s what makes reading it so interesting, the things these authors can do with words. I have chosen three different works; Survivors by Kim Addonizio, American Gothic by John Stone and, The Blizzard by David Ives. In this paper, I am going to give you some examples of symbols and conflicts in these works and my responses/thoughts on those topics. The Blizzard was written in 2006, in this…

Walking past the magazine stand, a specific one pops out to me. On the cover is a beautiful blonde girl dressed in workout clothes and a sports bra. With one knee bent, her body is leaned forward, her chest up, butt out, showing the curves of her body. Instantly, I stopped to take a closer look, and asked myself, “Who is that gorgeous girl”? I was instantly intrigued and wanted to know more about the girl on this cover. Who is she? Why is she on the cover of golf magazine? Why don’t I recognize…

With the rapid dissemination of images via the Internet, celebrities who grace the cover of fashion publications are deemed or dismissed as household names faster than ever. Paper Magazine, a relatively unknown magazine, niche at best put Kim Kardashian on the cover of its November 2014 issue. Kardashian, a cult product of 21st century’s obsession with fame and wealth, became a goddess whose buttocks held a champagne glass in front of the lens of famed photographer Jean-Paul Goude. Another…

I have to say 2015 was a pretty good year for me. Of course to go along with those good things of course there has to be some that aren’t as wonderful. An example of this would be like when my grandma had to go to the hospital. She had to go because she was becoming very ill since our grandfather had died. She hadn’t been out of her house in a very long time; she hadn’t moved from the couch much rather than to eat, use the restroom, or something had to do something she absolutely needed to do.…

Can someone make you so happy you feel like dancing in the clouds? The song I picked is Clouds by Zach Sobiech. I chose this song, because it says he fell down in a hole, but someone was there to pick him up. This was my year. I had some ups and downs through my 8th grade year, but there were three ways that helped me go through the downs and all the way through the ups. Swimming, friends and family all helped me up through hard times in my 8th grade life. My friends helped make my life…

Dead, and is a 1954 crime novel by Pierre Boileau and Pierre Ayraud. The novel was published only four years before Hitchcock’s movie. While reading the reviews, I also noticed the whole love story between James Stewart’s character, Scottie, and Kim Novak’s character, Madeline, is very closely related to the Orpheus…

physical trend is not considered a cultural phenomenon however the process of how it became popular is considered so. For example, the Kardashians; who are they and what are they actually known for? It is a family of Kris Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Rob Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner who are well off with each of their individual successes and always seem…

A queen may be no match to her king, but I am anything but a queen, and I certainly am a match to Benedick, who is clearly no king. Benedick will do my bidding, just as I asked. He is no fool. Should he know what is good for him, he will do what I have asked. No, Benedick is good- I believe that he is trustworthy… Perhaps. Experience suggests otherwise; for I have been incorrect with my assumptions about him before, and yet there is something different this time. He is a changing man; there is…
