He never stopped to wonder if anyone was behind him. My bright and completely theoretical idea was that he probably already knew I was following him, and didn’t care to question that fact. He was striking, in the sense that he stood out amongst those in a crowd of average tastes. He took on a sort of "punk-rock" look, with a badass leather jacket and half-calf lace up boots. His face had enough piercings and retro jewelry on it to smelt into a two liter can of diced pineapple, though actually,…

The Penultimate Truth and 1984 fall under a literary genre that has a wide range of styles and themes. Probably the most popular and interesting style in science fiction novels is the one that deals with future events, where the writer tries to anticipate futuristic changes. The accuracy of an author is of course found out retroactively, when the reader realizes that the author, years before, was able to predict and depict the future. However, The Penultimate Truth (Philip K. Dick) and 1984…

The thirteenth amendment to the United States Constitution changed our nation in a radical way. During the previous years, a path was carved to make way for a movement that would abolish slavery and change the United States’ culture. This amendment is a crucial and intriguing part of the Constitution, in fact- its original purpose was not to abolish slavery. The thirteenth amendment that was first passed in February of 1861 was to ensure that slavery would remain legal in the states. So, why…

Family Values Nostalgia for the 1950s is real and deserves to be taken seriously, but it usually shouldn 't be taken literally. (pg.33 of What we really miss about the 1950’s) Growing up in a two parent household who base their parenting abilities on what the Bible has to say, can relate a lot to being in the 1950s. It has a lot of the same values work hard, love unconditionally, and don 't sin. Today’s society with all the electronics that we have makes it very difficult to get tasks…

From working in a hospital I have experience with people and death. I have seen people after they have been told that death is near. Although no one takes the news well, there are two different reactions once the emotions have begun to settle. I met an old man who decided the only thing to do was pity himself. The nurses would ask him if he wanted to go for a walk and he would refuse. No one wanted to go into his room because of how irritable and mean he was. He died a lonely man sitting in his…

Many people do not see the wrong in going to McDonalds everyday, especially since it is so cheap and found on every street corner. Even if a person is seen as “skinny” there is still a high chance of them having an obesity related disease. Since the 1970s it has been statistically proven that people’s health has reached a new low. It can only come to the generation of eighteen to twenty-four year olds to make a change that is needed and will improve the health of generations to come. There are…

However, when Hofmann accidentally consumed some of the drug in 1943, he incidentally discovered the sensory distortions and hallucinations it induced. Once…
