Laura Esquivel describes how this love truly is in her magical realism book called "Like Water for Chocolate". Set at a Mexican ranch, main character Tita lives a perplexed life as she tries to figure out which man is for her, Pedro her very first love or John the respectful and kind one. After giving enough time to think it over, she soon…

two unrelated concepts. Gass conjures the scene of a dinner party to prove his point with a myriad of characters and situations behind each action or object at the party. He claims that if the quail were to be unethically shot by a machine gun from a plane, it would be completely unrelated to if that quail were to be cooked badly. He also draws the example that the presence of a field marshal could not sour the wine. The quality of the meal is unrelated to who prepared the meal, who attended the…

Elie Wiesel, a writer and Holocaust survivor says during his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” This idea states that the act of keeping quiet and not questioning an immoral authority only gives power to the oppressors. By speaking up for what is right, the power is given to the people to repair an unjust government. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., author of Letter From a…

petite and are supposed to be smaller than the males they are seen with (Quail, Personal Communication, 2015). The second phenomena is the notion of feminine touch, in which a women’s hands are seen holding or caressing, but never grasping or manipulating (Lawton, 2009, p. 5). The next phenomena Goffman discusses that applies to my music video is function ranking, in which the order of who is more important and holds more power (Quail, Personal Communication, 2015).

In the “Crucible” written by Arthur Miller, an important motif that has developed within the play is witchcraft. This motif of witchcraft builds up to the overall theme of mass hysteria, and how it leads society to use it for their personal gain and to spread fear. The developed theme of hysteria from this ideology of witchcraft has turned Salem and its people into chaos. An important character within the book, Abigail, however is the cause of this chaos. Her hysterical fear becomes means of…

When talking about the similarities and differences between Disney princesses and their original Brothers Grimm tales, one might think Disney just took the exact stories, added a song or two, and made a cartoon movie out of it. As a whole, Disney princesses are portrayed as beautiful, young women that always find their perfect man, solve all of their problems, and live happily ever after. On the other hand, the Brother’s Grimm fairy tale stories are far from this. The folk stories that the…

Introduction Genetically modified foods have become a major concern and have caused controversy regarding both their health and environmental effects (2). 'Using modern techniques of genetic engineering, it is possible to introduce specific genetic material derived from any species of plant, animal, or microorganism, or even a synthetic material, into different species of plant' (Journal 1) This allows a desired trait to be enhanced and reproduced. (3) (4) 'The resulting plants are commonly…

readers to make their own conclusion as to where the county is located. Twain describes Smiley as being arrogant and cocky, with good reason; he won nearly all of his bets, and the ruthlessness of a stranger, filling Smiley’s frog “to the chin” with quail shot. Twain as he writes give insight into how he thinks and feels which, of course, is very different from that of a female. Through his local color, Twain’s description of Smiley is neither soft nor emotional, rather choosing to focus more…

In winter, the Konkow settled in widely dispersed patterns along river canyons, usually on ridges high above rivers and generally on small flats on the crest of the ridge, or half way down the canyon side. A village-community owned and defended a known territory, which served as a communal hunting and fishing ground. Some villages were located strategically atop isolated knolls in consideration of attack and defense. The Konkow followed an annual gathering cycle that made it necessary for them…

The Exodus, second book of the Pentateuch, is the book of liberation and of the Covenant. Exodus comes from the Greek language and “means, a going out, a departure, a procession.” The original Hebrew title comes from the first words at the beginning of the book, “w'ëLeh sh'môt that means (And these are the names),” which refers to those who initially entered Egypt, seventy in total (Ex 1:5 NRSV), with Jacob and under the protection of Joseph. The Exodus is divided symmetrically into two main…
