Message in a Bottle

Dreamercialism I am walking down the streets of neon lights and gleaming billboards. A big, brown donut follows me till the corner, telling me about lemon cream and chocolate topping. I run away. More sparkling billboards blind me. I squint, then close my eyes. Someone shoves a flier into my hand. It promises seventy percent discount for a new haircut, manicure and pedicure if I make it in the first five customers. I crumple the flier and toss it into a bin nearby. The bin is glittering with…

look from the 50s making them wear leather jackets with slicked back hair and the ladies long dresses with white socks and shoes. Even the tiny details of the food they ordered in the musical, such as the striped red and white straws in the soda bottles or the cups for the milkshakes. The types of cars in the musical, once again, despite being 2016, are retro and match the 50s taste of cars back then. The cast uses dialogue that was used back in the day, even though they may not make sense now.…

Understanding social norms is one of the major formulations people use to keep society running in a respectful, safe, and proper way. In public settings people establish, maintain, and change their personal territories formulated by social norms and other verbal and nonverbal notifications sent by others.

thousands of men and women in the armed forces. Up until December 18, 2010 — the law prohibited extremely qualified men and women from serving in the armed forces, virtually sending a message to America stating that discrimination was acceptable. Many laws similar to this, and also the ban on same-sex marriage puts messages out there implying homosexuals don’t deserve the rights other American citizens…

stages in language development and the developing roles that language plays. Firstly, the instrumental function enables children the ability to obtain needs and wants, often vocalised in brief expression such as ‘I want’ or even single words like ‘bottle’. This then develops into the regulatory function involves the behaviour of others. This is recognised at an early age as a result of how adults communicate with children. With expressions such as ‘say that again’ or ‘let’s have lunch’, children…

when there was heavy racism, and times men frowned upon women who took up tasks that were usually given to males. For example, The Bluest Eyes had received “depressing…commentary” (Morrison xii) because rather than looking through the depths of her message, they looked at whether or not it was “faithful to…politics” (xii) or it represented their viewpoint of the situation. Sula is a work of art that brings up a series of questions to the reader such as the importance of certain characters and…

I almost didn’t go on Kairos. I signed up because I felt like I should, but my heart wasn’t in it. It’s hard for me to describe was was going through my head last year, much less the last week of the year. When I reflect on those difficult times and consider who I am today, I think I would be most qualified to speak on Holiness because since Kairos I have learned that I am a valuable human being worthy of God’s love and capable of passing that love on. I had been thinking about throwing up for…

According to Edward Counsel Maxims, “Beauty is but a lease from nature.” Society pressures women to conform to a standard that limits their unique expressions. A battle rages on within the hearts of women; a constant push and pull of society’s definition of beauty and their own interpretation that struggles to find a common place.
