1. When you read this poem what sorts of sounds to you hear? - When I read it, I hear like music. I feel a sound like a person is running fast and then slows. Like a strong run followed by a smoother one. 2. It is strange that this poem addresses a “you”? Is this “you” the audience? Or, do you think the speaker’s audience is wider? If the audience is wider, who is the audience or reader? - I think that the speaker is referring to all of us in general. The audience is every person who has…

Magical realism, like all genres of literature, has proponents along with adversaries. Some critics say that magical realism describes the abject in condescending ways, while others have stated that it is a genre used to escape reality, and still others believe it is complicit in oppression and does not do enough to combat the rejection of the abject. Jazz by Toni Morrison, Perfume by Patrick Süskind, and “The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Eréndira and Her Heartless Grandmother” by Gabriel…

crowd of people but she felt like a rock in a stream, the water as a unit flowing around her. She was at the park, she had come to walk. She had stopped at the flessbe golf course. She had spoken to the guys playing, they gave her the once over and moved on. No hook ups day. Not that was what she wanted but no men seemed interested in relationships. She had given up on her grandmother’s saying about cows and milk. There was always free milk down the street now. Did you know in the 1940…

filled my bones causing me to increase the speed of which I was driving at. The main problem with my road is you can 't see far ahead, as I sped down the road, passing houses I see everyday a dog ran into the road causing me to swerve violently and hit a tree. I had been flung out from the driver 's seat to the edge of the road; the last thing I remember was feeling my back hit the ground like a ton of…

also a student of social justice, equity, and inclusion in the US as well. I can't deny that the LIFT show at the Cummer helped me get comfortable with the two artists together,” says Allegretti. It was the first time they had been in the UK. “We are like-minded individuals and we have respect for each other. I was a fan of his artwork before I knew him,” says Jones.…

to develop my creativity and combine it with my writing. Creating great stories is what the audience likes. The story may be sad, happy, romantic, you name it. Write your own story. Having your uniqueness is amazing but not everyone knows how to use it. I’ve learned that stories are made by knowing what will engage the audience. The audience in your life will be those whom have been there for you no matter what. Show them the greatness that we’ve made and will make. No story had an ending until…

Let’s take a closer look at shopping. A pretty simple idea, right? Go to a store find what you need then buy it. Well it is not quite that simple. On the surface it may appear this way, but subconsciously it is much more complicated. Why do we pick the store we shop at, why do we buy what we buy? Are the stores we shop at aware of this? To try and shed some light on this I did two social observations in the men 's athletic apparel section. One at Dick’s Sporting Goods and the other at Wal-Mart.…

tatters of poetry. Each writing was on a receipt, a menu, a corner of a paper, a gum wrapper; anywhere Luna could write. The thoughts flowed through her body. Thousands of them at a time, most of which kept her up well into the night. Her brain was like a computer with a processor that ran far faster than what the fan could cool down. Her old teachers told her it was a gift, something that makes her unique. Her mom told her she was sensitive, her friends…

another one begins. "Would you rather be the most popular student in the school, or the smartest student in the school?" asked Isabelle.…

I PROMISE YOU, I 'M PROBABLY FORGETTING SOME IMPORTANT THINGS. With that being said, let’s begin. All of a sudden, your friend being his/her non-stop complaining of lower abdominal pain, chills, fever, and a little (which means a lot) vomiting. After a few minutes of hearing them wail and moan, you decide to do something about it. After some searching on WebMD.com and MayoClinic.org, you conclude that it has to be, without a reasonable doubt, appendicitis. Who needs a doctor when you have the…
