Although there are a variety of views on the definition of what home is, when referring to a person’s home itself, it is universally understood as the place that a person resides in. The term “home” can be associated in different ways. Examples of different ways that home can be associated are present in Ranch Girl, The Red Convertible, and The Reservation Cab Driver. You can be at your home, and you can also feel home anywhere. Most people feel comfortable in their homes, so saying someone…

Guilty as Charged I met Deluca in a once quiet prison, which was now scurrying in a manic manner as the correctional officers and the Governor tried to assess the prison’s most recent situation. Behind a strengthened distressed steel door was an abundance of handpicked inmates all awaiting their fate. A select few of the inmates did not seem amused by the situation, and some could care less. More than half of the prisoners were clenching the posts of the door in a rage, screaming at the top of…

Authors employ rhetoric in their writing by implementing a variety of writing techniques and styles, but they all use them with one goal in mind: To persuade the target audience. In the books Scratch Beginnings by Adam Shepard and Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich, there are several instances in which both authors use specific styles of rhetoric to persuade the audience to side with certain issues endure throughout their books. The goal of each author is to get the target audience to…

Today’s newspaper says the last chicken in the world has died. It had lived its final days in Taiwan, just as its rooster, who’d died several months back. The tabloid even showed a photo of the poor thing. It looked nothing like the Rhode Island Red, or the Leghorn I was used to seeing in my life. It looked scrawny, shrunken, and nothing like it was supposed to look. Chickens were gone now, them, along with the world’s other fowl and eatable mammals. Just like most of the other animal life…

Contact with Defining Agencies The following is a descriptive timeline of the crimes committed by Aileen Wuornos, prior to her murderous streak. The information used for the purpose of this case study was derived from the works of Newton (2006) and Wuornos & Berry-Dee (2006). 27th May, 1974 Aileen Wuornos, at the age of eighteen, was first arrested and jailed for driving under the influence, firing a .22 caliber pistol from a moving vehicle and disorderly conduct in Jefferson County, Colorado.…

Even the most tenacious flowers will eventually wither in the wrong environment. Similarly, even the fervent love of Jack Twist and Ennis del Mar—the protagonists of Annie Proulx’s short story, “Brokeback Mountain”—cannot withstand the social taboos that threaten their relationship. In a sense, the two cowboys were doomed from the start. Their fathers were completely intolerant and denied Jack and Ennis of empathetic upbringings. This, among many other social restraints, precludes the…

worries, bruddah, right? Well, yes, this is true, but there's much more to the 808 than that. Most tourists are only there for Waikiki or North Shore or even the shopping on Kalakaua Avenue that easily rivals (and can even best) Sunset Boulevard, Rodeo Drive or even Fifth Avenue; and while walking out of the Macy’s and looking street sign reading “Kalakaua” or “Nohonani”, it is guaranteed that they do not stop and think of where these names came from. Usually all the information on Hawaii that…

Mike had always wondered when, and more specifically how he would die. Maybe, he thought, that one day the shadow monster would simply decide that it wanted another go, and would come back for him instead, or that Max's crazy older brother would accidentally run him over with his fancy expensive car. He hoped it would be a memorable death, like the kind everyone's talking about for a while, and whenever they mention your name, they whisper it. Mike never expected it to be whatever the hell he…

economy. Since the original festivals there was a long period in which the festival did not take place, but in 1974 it was brought back and named the Salt Festival. It has now been going for forty-one years straight and every year there is live music, a rodeo, and a larger crowd. It is another way that Morton Salt helped the economy during the time period and even today. Good news for the town of Grand Saline is that Morton Salt had a private investigation done to discover just how much salt…
