Message in a Bottle

today. The beginning of this becoming very common was with the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.

A message told in Romeo and Juliet is that true love triumphs over hate, and how love can effect the mind.The idea of thinking with your heart more than having logic, independence, suicidal thoughts, and hatred are all things that happen within the play…

Everybody knows what it is like to be sad, but not a lot of people know what it is like to be depressed. Depression is deeper than sadness, it is a feeling of emptiness. Depression and sadness are very different, even though people do not realize this. Recently everybody has probably heard of depression and mental illnesses because of the death of Robin Williams. He had a history of depression, and only the people closest to him knew about it. Depression is a serious matter and can be caused by…

stopped talking entirely and never truly lived after the bombings of Dresden. Oskar suffered similarly due to the allusions to 9/11, his father died and he was emotionally traumatized and set out on a desperate quest to find his dead fathers last message to him.

quite a book. I wonder where I can get a bottle of that ink?” Of course you wouldn’t say that! You wouldn't give the ink and paper credit for writing the book. You’d praise the author and look for another book by the same writer. By some twist of logic, though, many who read the fabulous DNA script want to give credit to the “ink” (DNA base code) and the “paper” (proteins) for composing the code of life. (139) And like Parker say “The meaning of a message lies with its creator, not its…

The notorious novel, The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald focuses on the lives of the wealthy, façade-filled society of New York’s East and West Egg, in particular the characters; Jay Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan, Tom Buchanan, Jordan Belfort and Nick Carraway. On the surface, The Great Gatsby is a story of the thwarted love between Daisy and Gatsby. The main theme of the novel, however, encompasses a much larger, less romantic scope.

equal treatment as if she was a man. In addition to television shows during the 1950’s, advertisements also showed the solid gender roles within society.

Overall, the ad is very sexist and portrays women in a negative light. On the contrary, a US Army…

Ça Va?: A Personal Narrative For most of my life I’ve been like a magnet, always being pulled different ways and never really becoming myself, by myself. I’ve been a bottle without a message, floating between people and shores. I would keep friends for the school year, then lose them in the summer because of my total apathy towards most of their lives, and thus my lack of importance in theirs.
