Maggie May

Maggie had stood in the middle of a forest. It was dark and foggy, though not so much as that she couldn 't see, it just made her feel like she was in a dream. There was an old house that sat in the middle of a swamp. She had no idea where she was or why she was here. She wasn’t dreaming, was she? This felt much too real to be a dream, but there was so much about the whole situation that was unexplained. She stepped forward and felt a breeze hit her shoulder, shivering, she looked around again.…

Brendan, Bremser LCS121-AE Gateway Reflection Prompt I: Information Literacy As a writer, I have always been good at examining sources for their credibility. This is a skill I began to develop in high school and have only improved since then. Being able to search the internet and find sources which can directly relate to a paper topic is not extremely hard; however, finding resources of specific identities, such as academic journals or magazines has been difficult at times. For example, for…

singular definition. People of all cultures are unique not just in their methods and ways of life, but also in their definitions of culture. One person can describe culture as something that can bring family and a community together, but another person may define it as the exact opposite; something that tears people apart and in turn will rip apart a community. Neither of them are wrong or right however, because culture is something that is tangible. Culture is something that changes with time…

Groening picked the characters of the Simpsons by using people he grew up with. The parents in the Simpsons are named Homer and Marge, the same name that Groening's parents have. He named Lisa and Maggie after his two younger sisters. Groening thought it would be too obvious if he named the oldest son after himself, so Groening decided to name the last child Bart which is an anagram of brat. Homer's father also received the same name as Groening's grandfather, Abraham. Groening returned to…

vulnerable. Men use this to their benefit in the workplace because they feel a sense of gratification when they overpower a woman physically and mentally. This idea is presented in the article in the article Sexual Harrassment in the Workplace. Maggie L. Lewis deliberates the journey that women have gone through in the work field from the early 20th century till present time. “Data shows that the same relationship that existed ‘between a man’s power and his sexual access to women’ in…

When black Wacoans tell God, they tell the weather and the land. On May 11, 1953, divine violence upset the natural weather patterns in the central Texas landscape. Mary Denkins recalls in detail her father rushing to pick her up from the all-black Moore High School. She remembers hearing on the radio the threat of a massive tornado. When Mary arrived home, her mother gave a cautious, deliberate prophecy to her and her siblings: “God is fixin’ to work, so you all be quiet.” Late afternoon, the…

theory up. One if that JFK wrote a letter that demands he was able to look at secret ufo files, and another from a CIA official that say he cannot see classified information and material (The Week). Because of the disagreement between JFK and the CIA may have caused issues that the CIA were not pleased of. This could have led to the planning of the assassination of JFK so that he would NO longer disturb the CIA and want to have access into classified…

As Clara Barton once said “I may sometimes be willing to teach for nothing, but if paid at all, I shall never do a man's work for less than a man's pay.” Women throughout wars such as World War I, II, and the Civil War, had many struggles which were overpowered by their multiple successes and their strong roles in those wars. Clara Barton was one of the many women who volunteered themselves to be a nurse in the war. Without women like her who stepped up to take part in the war women wouldn’t…

Many people question if fast food restaurants are responsible for rising obesity rates. Fast food restaurants are partially responsible for the rise in obesity rates. The food that fast food restaurants serve is extremely unhealthy but easily accessible and cheap and this is what attracts people to consume large amounts of it. These large amounts of consumption of these foods play a large factor in why obesity rates are rising. Based on rising obesity rates and consumption patterns, there is a…

here in Colorado, I wanted to propose to you that we start raising more awareness through the usage of advertisements and send/ take home letters for the families who are eligible for the food stamp system but aren’t aware that they are eligible. This may seem a little confusing at first, but it is a fairly feasible and simplistic idea. The Food Stamp System in America has become a staple for many families in America. Since its start in the early 1960’s, this program has benefited many people…
