emanating a soothing tune, one might think they are in a child’s playroom. Unexpectedly, however, these things were found during a concert; a Melanie Martinez concert. Melanie’s style and general theme of her concerts can more than often be described as possessing a whimsical, carnival, feel due to her usage of circus props, such as a carousel, and distinct carnival pop tunes. This, along with her innocent yet powerful voice, has piqued the interest of many alternative music listeners. I am no…

Sounds familiar, right? Right, because the media ideal for males are thin-muscular bodies and the…

Shortly after the bell over the front door jingled, he stood next to my booth at the back of the diner at our appointed time. “You showed…

Environmental issues have been the talk of the town by many public figures recently, but it does not always seem to “stick” in the minds of the viewers. Both Pope Francis and Naomi Klein discuss the topic in great detail, but take different approaches in convincing their readers. Klein seems to evokes a great deal of negativity in her book, to the point where it questions the reader’s own actions and almost makes them feel that they are partially to blame for the current state of Earth. Pope…

Explain what she means, provide examples from Iraq, and argue EITHER in support of her analysis, or against her analysis.

Three women were responsible for the feminist theory. Each one helped open the door to the future of female researchers each left their own unique marks. Starting with Anna Freud she developed her theory of mechanism of defense. This theory suggest that when the ego goes through something it cannot handle (traumatic) it goes into defense mode.
