This is coming more common in our society to have parents of the same gender but this can caused a child to get bullied for. Some people still believe that only a man and a woman can have children together and when it comes to these type of people, they can have their child believe the same thing. So when it comes to child to are now trained to think that way, they will make fun of someone who has same gender parents. No matter if the person has two daddies, two mommies or a mom and a dad, the child is going to be treated the same way. For example in the book, “ Now I’m tucked in nice and tight. Mommy and mama kiss me goodnight” (Newman and Thompson 18) No matter the gender of the parents, they will give that child Unconditional love.

There is a depth to Hamlet which has caused so many different ways to view and argue the characters and the overthinking in which the book revolves around.

Every Saturday morning I get a jolt of excitement in anticipation of the forty-five minutes of wonder I know are soon to delight my senses, forty-five minutes of adventure, fear, and the devilish world of Steven Moffat. Doctor Who is my all time favorite TV show, a show that follows the exploits of the time travelling Doctor and his intrepid companions across the universe.

While he is at Shawshank he remains to believe that he himself is innocent while the…

Through the days in Shawshank, Andy never lost hope. Loosing hope inside of Shawshank is like Captain Hadley beating “Fat Ass” in the first scenes. “Fat Ass” lost all hope as soon as the prison doors shut and he knew there was no escape. Andy took this into consideration to always have his guard up and not let things get to him. When meeting Red he met somebody who reflected Andy’s life.
