Animals, forests, and humans all have an existing purpose and when they all coexist and harmonize they create the beauty that this world has a necessity for. This beauty has been preserved and examined by a few environmentalists such as John Muir and Chief Seattle. John Muir wrote a great essay, known as the “The American Forest” which spoke about the great beauty of nature and Chief Seattle gave a…

One important issue facing our country is housing discrimination. The main reason why we still need to fight housing discrimination and it is such of an unfair problem is that the people being discriminated against can’t have the same opportunities as everyone else because they can’t live where they want to based on something they have no say in, like the color of their skin or which country they were born in.

It drapes them like a pair of fully formed angel wings that cradle them like a delicate rose bud. This small…

William Faulkner, the writer of the short story “A Rose for Emily” was a traditional southern man who liked to use symbolism of his characters to relate to the downfall of the south. Throughout my analysis, the trend of the South running itself into the ground from thinking they were so high up and the South never allowing themselves to explore different opportunities because they only knew what they were taught, appears.

In Amanda Jernigan’s poem “Exclosure”, the speaker delivers the message that writing is a process of capturing and protecting the composition from being exposed to critiques or misinterpretations.
