two distinct economic systems.” In this statement Zinn is referencing to the Civil War and stating that the war was started over the contrasting economic systems of the North and South. I disagree with this statement and instead believe that the peculiar institution, slavery, was the major factor that led to the conflicts of the Union and Confederates. The differing morals of these two distinct regions sparked the beginning of the war and the position of slavery as a moral institution and the…

interesting piece I appreciated on my visit to the Perez Art Museum Miami. Roberto Fabelo, a Cuban painter, is the author of this peculiar series of drawings. This set of art is based on pages from an Anatomy book with certain representation of human organs and systems. The author uses the original drawing in the page to recreate and integrate it to his own creation. Fabelo's peculiar style gives as a result a series of smart, graphically detailed, bold, spicy creatures: half human, half divine.…

actions that all of us wish would never happen to the public. In King’s article, “Why We Crave Horror”, he makes true claims that humans crave horror to face our fears, to re-establish our feelings of normalcy, and, not to mention, to experience a peculiar sort of fun. Arguably, facing our fears is one of the greatest constant obstacles in life, nonetheless horror films brews it to a fun, as well as an addicting, hobby for humans. King’s short story, “Strawberry Spring”, supports the reason…

To first assess the demands of the question and thereby determine how James Madison and I would decide the case of Lee v. Weisman, it is imperative to outline Madison’s primary and germane arguments in his “Remonstrance” and also explore the two prevailing yet competing judicial interpretations of the First Amendment. A rebuttal of Patrick Henry’s “A bill establishing a provision for Teachers of the Christian Religion,” Madison’s “Remonstrance” lists fifteen arguments and refutations of…

characterized by a combination of childlike innocence and dark elements. These attributes are present in many of his films, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), Alice in Wonderland (2010), and in his most recent film, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (2016). Burton’s first project was called Vincent (1982), and it showed some of the common themes and influences that Burton would continue to pursue and expand in future films. Through low key lighting, high angles, and low…

Galway Kinnell writes about how he loves to go blackberry picking in September. He uses figurative language stating blackberries are silent, startled, and unbidden, the berries aren’t physically able to do these allegations. The stalks very prickly he calls this a penalty for such a sweet treat. He talks about the time of day he enjoys (Arp) description is likely to fire up the readers taste buds. The reader may decide they are hungry with such an imaginative description. He chooses to talk…

While these elements work in favour of Riggs' novel, what is troubling is the part of the plot that explores a love interest portrayed between Jacob and a peculiar child. It becomes a notion of incest and is arguably unnecessary. The idea of it didn't seem to be a well-suited pair of a peculiar characters and a controversial topic of discussion. This could have been cut without affecting the other favourable elements of the novel. All in all, this book is for anyone who is willing to embark on…

people don’t know everything there is to know. The worst thing is when I am trying to talk about how this person just did this in a movie or book and they just nod but don’t understand one little thing. I love Harry Potter, Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children, Adventure Time, Tim Burton and really any fantasy. I might be sad because someone just died but my friend hasn’t read or watched it so I can’t tell them. Only some of my friends have read Harry Potter…

1. What are the main ideas of these two readings? (list at least 3) • In the American Cultural Configuration, Holmes emphasizes that American society is a culture full of fallacies and paradoxes in American logic. Some headings state a topic on how Americans believe in one way, but in reality, perform the opposite. For example, the paradox of education in America would be that while we value practical majors such as law, medicine, business, etc., they don’t really have the motivation to obtain…

ground and a beautiful sun hanging down from the sky like a shiny ornament on a Christmas tree. As Alma scampered around in her rose red coat and sky blue scarf, she came along a dark, mysterious store. The dark mysterious store had extremely peculiar storefront. It had a large gaping mouth like window with weird stones pointing down from it like teeth and at the top of the window were two massive dark holes like eyes. It was as if the store was about to swallow its visitors! However,…
