Zzzzzzzz zzz zzzzzzzz zzz… Leah sluggishly woke up from her slumber to the sound of her phone vibrating against her wooden side table. Still bleary eyed, she picked up the phone. There was some muffled voices that she could not distinguish. "Hello?" Leah mumbled The voices stopped, and all that could be heard was heavy breathing. In her dazed and confused state she asked, “Who is this?” No reply. The familiarity of the situation hits Leah, as she starts to come to her senses and sees the dull…

points that were relevant and essay to interpret. One point she made was that the concept of a zombie apocalypse scenario is a blown up, extreme representation of economic collapse.

Carroll states, “We shall presume that this is an emotional state whole emotion we call art-horror” (Carroll 52). According to Carroll art-horror is…

If Kurtz had died with the Intended’s literal name on his lips rather than, “the horror, the horror” (Conrad 69), conclusions about Heart of Darkness would be vastly different. In the event that this had happened, Kurtz’s journey to Africa would have been for nothing because he would not have gained the self-knowledge that is required of that of a mythic hero. The Intended considers being Kurtz’s last thought before his death to be a triumph, displaying the shallowness and ignorance of the…

humane, many North Koreans think of it as a privilege. It’s the year 2015 and North Korea is still one of the most oppressed countries in the world, they lack in human rights and still have concentration camps while cutting all ties with the outside world. The oppression in North Korea has caused some people to believe it as some kind of joke when there are thousands of people suffering with no way out.

not only study Korean but also to spend six months studying abroad in Seoul. Before studying Korean, Korea has always peaked my interest as it was a country that not many people in my life knew about in great detail, making it quite exotic.

Whether that was through traveling throughout the country or interacting with Korean students…
