This thing that we call diversity sets a tone in reality. That tone states one is only allowed to sit with one alike and not the other way around. Growing up I was taught that diversity were when all kinds of different human beings come together to unite as one. That is far from the truth.…

“The act of falsifying reality is only secondarily a way of changing perceptions. It is, above all, a way of asserting power.” (Gopnik 3). By completely ignoring the truth, Trump shows that he does not value facts, and that he believes wholeheartedly in what he is saying. When…

The big chunk of reality is the initial story source and fundamental form to set up the soul of stories. The majority of writers usually will make some correction and invention with a real element of the world.

in worlds built by essays. In How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents by Julia Alvarez, Mona in the Promised Land by Gish Jen, and The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy, Yolanda, Mona, and Baby Kochamma each seem to live in their own personal realities, unaffected by the real world. The women in these novels effectively invent the world around them through stories, lies, or manipulations. First, Yolanda in How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents is a poet by trade, a story teller. The basis…

experience trauma you hide your feelings because you do not know how to express them out of fear of punishment. What I enjoyed about School of Hardknocks is how the painting made me feel. I use vibrant bright colors and smiling faces to help unmask the reality of life. When I look at School of Hardknocks today, I ask, are there other children in the portrait being…

the mental means to this end- is being destroyed” (Arendt, 15). Her main point behind this quote is that we live in is a fake reality. The lies said behind the truth and the truth that is depicted as lies are what we take as the truth. In this tangle of lies and truth, we have lost the proper knowledge to actually understand what the reality is. We have created a fake reality based on each “truth” that has been presented.

If you somehow manage to float above it, you still see the muck but you see it from a different perspective. And you see other things too.
