That is the side of the Pit Bull that many people think of, and for some people that is all they are willing to see in the breed. But that is not truly what the pit bull terrier is all about. They are so much more than what you hear in the news. Pit bulls are not deserving of their bad reputation considering…

In the poem “Lady Lazarus,” Sylvia Plath narrates the story of a character who has attempted suicide three times.

The word “Applicant”, itself is dehumanising, is associated with jobs, employers…

Choice: The act of picking between two or more possibilities. This definition came right out of the dictionary and it makes choice sound very black and white. In reality, there are many factors that tie in with it. Every individual has a choice but their decision, whether good or bad are all based on their morals and their circumstances in life.
