?Day and night cannot dwell together? Deep statement pronounced by Chief Seattle in 1854. With the intention to let American white people knew that between them and Native American, there were irreconcilable differences. With this in mind, I am in agreement with him, because groups of people with different ideological perspective cannot understand each other. In addition, not only Native Americans have been oppressed by American white people. Furthermore, still, now a days, minorities are…

Summer Days & Summer Nights: Twelve Love Stories Summer Days & Summer Nights is the first anthology I’ve ever read. I didn’t know what to expect, all I know is I’m not a short-story person. Fortunately, it turned out better than what I anticipated it to be. For me, it’s split into three categories. There are four stories that struck me, and gripped me, followed by four stories that are ordinary, but doable, while the remaining four stories doesn’t belong to this collection. 1. Head, Scales,…

truths. Always tasting fog. Yet, one fragmented light can only be saturated so long before the fade begins. The day would come when the inky stain of blotted silence would undoubtedly catch wind of her. There is no place for daylight here... The undisclosed wind would soar between her emaciated sheen, moving her homeward toward dawn. "I implore you, unwavering cloak. Let her be," The Night sky would moan.

the future holds. As she picked me up and shot to the door. It's the night before an exciting day. The day that has been impending closer and closer everyday since the start of summer. First grade, exciting for more than just me. As the 130 others attending first grade were ecstatic starting a new school year as grade schoolers. Finally that fateful night I became drowsy, and past out at 8:00pm already dreaming of the next day. I awakened to the strong smell of crispy bacon, and french toast…

‘“Night to His Day’: The Social Construction of Gender,” Judith Lorber’s article written in the mid 90s, describes western societies as having two genders: men and women. Lorber explains that, while they not wholly separate genders, transvestities and transexuals are “crossover genders” (2007: 43) floating in between society’s two genders. Society’s framework for gender affects everything a person does from the moment that person is born, without them even knowing it. The clothes a person wears,…

and what traits are considered masculine? Being either male or female in today’s society begins with the classification of gender depending on the sexual organs each human is born with. Judith Lorber talks about what it means to “do gender” in “Night to His Day”: The Social Construction of Gender. When men act “manly” and when women do things in what is considered to be “girly” this is known as “doing gender”. To begin with, everyone is born with a name and a gender status whether it is the…

What May Trigger Night Terrors? Night terrors are a type of Parasomnia, that causes screaming, intense fear, and flailing, while still asleep. These episodes are most common, but not always limited to children between the age of three and twelve, but they can also occur in adults. Primarily, children are affected by this Parasomnia, because their CNS, is still in early development, and seems to be more easily disrupted than the matured CNS, of older adults. Some studies show that there…

freedom I felt when I could run down the long, wooded path to my cabin, other campers all around me, their chatter replacing that of a cricket’s in the hot summer air. I miss the hot, beautiful days…

Twelfth Night to She’s the Man In the comedy play Twelfth Night, William Shakespeare explores the key idea of Hidden Identity through his characterisation of Viola and Duke Orsino. He also explores how in some situations girls/boys have to dress or pretend to be someone they’re not to fit into society. This idea has been transformed into a modern day context in the Andy Fickmans film She’s the Man. She used the same characters that were in both texts but placed in a new setting and a new…
