Rave

something profound, subtle, simple and powerful. Best explained with an example. You want to share a heart-felt thank you with a colleague Joanna. You share a note with a mentor who gave Joanna her first break many moons ago. Somebody you have heard her rave about with gratitude, her guardian angel: “I know that you mean a lot to Joanna. Here is what Joanna did for me (specifics). My heart felt thanks for her efforts. Thought you should know. “ Think about the positive ramifications.…

Edgar Allan Poe uses the unreliable narrator approach to discuss death in “The Tell-Tale-Heart.” Within the story, we have the perspective of a character, whose account could not be trusted by the audience. The unreliableness is easily seen inside the opening of the very first paragraph. “True!- nervous – very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?

This was the first time I saw the film, Super Size Me, although I have heard many peers and family members rave about the film previously. I feverishly attempted to out fast food intake countless times before by cooking at home more, however I still frequent fast food restaurants two to three times a week due to the convenience and simplicity of buying food that’s been pre-made.

An acoustic guitar is a musical instrument that produces sound through strings’ vibration. At different frequencies strings vibrate creating harmonic tunes. The strings mass, length and tension determine the frequency produced. The guitar is very popular in music today and a useful part of classical, reggae, blues and other genres. The guitar ancestry draws back to Arab countries, where an instrument with many strings and a gourd sized body was brought from Spain. It was called an alu’de. This…

I think it was pot roast, no it can’t be: Zach despises pot roast. Maybe it was steak, no. Burger and smiley friends, yes, that sounds about right. I kick at the kitchen island as I try to figure out these darn multiplication problems while my mom hovers over Zach's shoulder and tells him the answers to his homework. I sit there waiting patiently for her to help me, but that help never comes and I dive back into what the answer to 12 X 13 could possibly be. Today was a hectic day at school and…

Video games have a special place in our lives. What were once flickering black and white blocked images on a television screen are now detailed beings with actions we experience on an emotional level. Some games now tell stories and evoke emotional responses similar to the finest literature or theater. For instance, Mass Effect 3, one of my favorite third person RPG game series. Towards the end of the game, as the emotional tugging piano music played, faces of the main character's friends…
