Oh My Gosh

Browning’s poem, “My Last Duchess” is about a powerful Duke and his late wife. He is showing a portrait painted on the wall of his duchess and describing her to someone. The portrait seems to be full-length and highly realistic because the duke remarks that “there she stands” (4). The duke immediately seems somewhat sinister. He even speaks of the duchess as if she were a possession referring to her as “[his] last duchess” throughout the poem. The poem both begins and ends with the Duke…

Browning writes about how love can change people. In “My Last Duchess” by Robert Browning, he tells about how a man became to irrationally afraid that he killed his wife. In “Porphyria's Lover” by Robert Browning, a girl wanders into the woods and finds a man who would then kill her. There are many comparisons and contrasts you can pull from Robert Browning’s “My Last Duchess” and “Porphyria’s Lover”. One contrast between Robert Browning’s “My Last Duchess” and “Porphyria’s Lover”, is…

In a month known for horror and costumes, you can count on Boo! A Madea Halloween to get you laughing this October. The movie stays true to the Madea movie series, providing humor through over the top character interactions, most stemming from Madea herself. This time, however, two famous Youtubers have joined the cast, making the movie even more enjoyable. The movie starts off by introducing Jonathan, the president of a fraternity that’ll be hosting a Halloween party at night, played by…

barbarously refused her deal by stating “I don't make deals. Why would I? I am in charge of it all.” Even when Bess tried to justify Georgina’s deal, the Duke told her to shut up. Georgina left the table upset, the Duke chased after her and raped her. In my opinion, the reason Georgina tries to make the arrangement is to make everyone equally happy instead of going behind the Duke’s back. That is not how things were handled back in 18th century as long as the men are happy everyone else does not…

She lost everything in 2005 due to hurricane Katrina and never pitied herself.She even gave away her kidney to her brother by choice. She spent two and a half years with her mother in a hospital because she needed round-the-clock care. She worked with my father for many years and is now part of our family. She never left anyone behind and served as a great role model for me. In October 2004, Angie gave away her…

emotions explicitly seen in “My last Duchess” throughout. Glancing across the sea to the American poet Edgar Allan Poe, one discovers much of the same ghoulish obsession with obscurity observed in Browning's poetry. However, Poe's work seems to be deficient in the mockery found in Browning's work. Poe’s poem frequently disparate and is often admired as one of the most beautiful love poems of the English language. It may not attribute the same altitude of wickedness found in "My Last Duchess",…

not hear that often in our today’s music. Overall, the song is not as bad as I thought; it comes to the fact that the more I listen to it, the more I start to appreciate the song. Not a bad way to start the album. The song, “Living for the City,” is my favorite song in the album hands down. It is seven minutes and twenty-three minutes long, but I recommend that one should listen to the whole thing; please do not skip a single part. As a matter of fact, it was so good that I listen to it three…

subculture of our culture, it still has its “boundaries” or acceptance of those in it. I was never an emo kid (I was a preppy girl back in my early teens) but I also had an appreciation for the style and music. The closest thing that I could do was listen to some bands, wear eyeliner (that was 8th grade) and converse. I still did listen to some emo bands such as My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, and Panic! At the Disco. I still very much so still listen to these bands, but more so as a…

Just as she was contemplating, Maggie, the younger daughter approched hesitantly seeking approval for her attire. Both daughters witnessed the burning destruction of their home a decade ago. The fire consumed their house and left Maggie with permenate scars.…

On the morning of March 16th, 1968 in two hamlets of Son My village in Quảng Ngãi Province, the thin border between duty and war crime was crossed when American soldiers raped, mutilated and killed between 347 and 504 unarmed Vietnamese men, women and children. There was no sign of resistance nor possession of weapons. According to evidence from various informants, the 48th Vietcong infantry Battalion was harbored within the border of My Lai, but in truth only innocent civilians occupied the…
