Out There

On National Coming Out Day the rainbow center held an event for students to listen to poetry and other students’ personal experiences with coming out. Walking in I was a little nervous and was not sure what to expect. No one in my family or my close friends have ever dealt with coming out, so this was new to me. Although I was not very knowledgeable about what it is like to come out, I was still interested in learning about what other people have gone through. As I walked in my eyes went first…

In the novel, Take Me Out, by Richard Greenberg, I believe that the true enemy is Darren Lemming. Darren is very selfish and has a big ego. For example, “It’s only brave if ya think somethin’ bad’s gonna happen. They don’t … to me” (page 32). Darren’s accountant, Mason Marzac believes that his coming out was an act of heroism and bravery. Darren didn’t announce that he was gay because he had a boyfriend or in a relationship, he just did it because he knew that nothing would come of it. He…

their record, and even considered their older records with admiration. Maybe it’s just that people weren’t ready to hear men pour their hearts out back in the early 2000s, but things have certainly changed. While there are critics who can’t think past what’s been ingrained in them, who use the term “emo” to degrade other men for being emotional, many Fall Out Boy fans not only reject the old connotation of the term, but have reclaimed it. Fans of the band, specifically younger fans, proudly…

Out of the Silent Planet A Take on Philosophy In Out of the Silent Planet we see the bent, the broken, and the bold and how each of them holds a standard on the value of life. The character Weston was a physicist, obsessed with the idea of living forever. Later in the book Oyarsa (a sort of spirit entity) says that Weston has been “bent by the Bent One”. Bent is the Malecandrian word for bad or evil, meaning that in the sense of an allegory Weston had been corrupted by Satan. Satan being “the…

he always got out, usually ensuring an encounter with her. "Pasta come inside and get washed up for dinner" His grandma yelled out. He always hated that name. It's like his parents wanted him to get picked on. He got them to call him Pas instead. "I saw you on your way back from Mrs. Patterson's house, did Pete get out again?" she asked. " Yeah I got him though" He said slowly continuing the daily conversation. "We should really get the door fixed or a way to stop him slipping out." said Pas…

than is meant” (Kriszner and Mandell) . In “Out, Out-” by Robert Frost, we see an understated tone used throughout the poem. I believe that by using an understated tone, Robert Frost builds suspense and bringing out the true meaning behind his words. I feel that if Frost had written in a more direct way, we would still understand the story, but it would have been lacking in emotion. The first example of an understated tone is the title of the poem, “Out, Out-”. I believe this is a reference to…

Out of This World. . . Forever Blood, gore, and death are not common occurrences in your everyday poems. The dominant narrative of poetry is centered on its more romantic aspects. As a prime example that not everything is sugar, spice, and everything nice, Robert Frost’s poem “Out, Out” provides us with the grim—yet refreshing—truth and reality faced by many children in the early 20th century—child labor. One of poetry’s most celebrated writers, Robert Frost was the epitome of eloquence. Frost…

people’s lives? In my paper, I give out the explanation on how God and evil can coexist with one another because good can triumph over evil through perseverance. This goes on with the relationship between justice and vengeance and how the two can’t live without the other. Though it may be hard to actually consider this, there are many forms to prove this as to be true. God has evil on Earth for the people to understand that there is always a need to make sure to give out a lesson and make others…
