Film Review: Room “Truck. Wiggle out. Jump. Run. Somebody.” Lenny Abrahamson’s Room is just a story of primitive living. It is Emma Donoghue’s critically-acclaimed novel of growth in an enclosed room between a mother and son. And it blossoms into something much more -- a plant, a flower. The dynamic duo between Abrahamson’s melodramatic direction and Donoghue’s brilliant story sheds light on the beauty of life and growth. This is Donoghue’s story (and her first screenplay). Like Abrahamson’s…

Earth First! “Defining Transcendentalism is a lot like grasping mercury: both are fluid and hard to pin down” (Myerson xxv). Transcendentalism, defined the most basic terminology, “a philosophy emphasizing the intuitive and spiritual above the empirical” (Dictionary). However, who really were the transcendentalist and what did they believe in? This philosophical movement began during the nineteenth century.

Napster and Its Effects Obtaining music has not always been as easy as it is today. In order to purchase music, a person would have to go to a physical location and pay a retailer. Searching for just the right album or collection meant spending sometimes hours going through racks of records, cassettes, or cd’s. In the past, sharing music with a peer or friend meant loaning a physical copy of the music. Also the storage of the music took up a lot of space that could have been used for something…

I. Introduction On June 24, 2016, the citizens of the United Kingdom voted in favor for their departure from the European Union.

The nations that form the…

I scream as I saw my family dead. The white walls were now red. My dad was on the floor torn to shreds. Mother was in the kitchen floor with her face scratched out. My brothers throat torn out. I didn't know what to say. Everything was blank. My adrenaline rushing, I ran out calling for help. I had to leave. I couldn't bare to look at them like this anymore. I was internally screaming, why but my body was silent and crying quietly. I crouched down outside with blood on my hands from the moment…

you feel calm and happy. The benches in the front of the picture are where the people sit during church and they’re called, “pews.” The big sort of a doorway is called an “arch,” and if you look up at the very top of the picture, you can see the redwood beams that they used to make the roof of the church.You can see that the two saints are standing on the sides of a sort of a table. That’s called the “altar,” and that’s where the priests lead the people in prayer. If you look at the altar,…

The cold water touched Ve’naz’s face. He felt it run onto his face and through his garments. He was soaked from the freezing running water. How miserable. Ve’naz carried himself out of the small streaming waterfall. High above, where the eagles flew, Skyfall Peaks lay, magically suspended in the air. The general had told him to come here, to heal his wounds. The water had magic energy inside. It made sense. The glistening water pummeled hundreds of feet before it hit the mountain and created…

nothing but silence then. It was almost as if the world knew what was going to happen, and held its breath in anticipation. Unaware of my upcoming future, I sat patiently in the back like always, staring out the window with a blank face. I watched the redwoods and buildings blur by, all too familiar with the sight. After a half hour of waiting, the bus finally came to a stop and opened its doors. I stood up, grabbed my backpack, and headed out, somewhat sentimental about the day. This is the…

Personal Philosophy Statement Education reform has been tasked with reducing the gap in student achievement.

In a society that is relying more on technology, there has been less of an effort to connect with parents at home. But, ease of information does not mean that all families are able to easily connect to the information, or that the…
