The Mother’s Rebirth The story “Daughter of Invention” by Julia Alvarez is about self-renovation/rebirth which Alvarez examines through conflict. “When we no longer able to change a situation we are challenged to change ourselves.” –Vito Frankl. Frankl’s point was often you must change yourself or an aspect befitting your predicament. What I’ve observed is each character goes through a change/renovation. Each developing differently based on their experiences and circumstances. In this essay,…

The parable is about two brothers. The older son stayed home with his father, on the straight and narrow path while the younger son chose riotous living on the broad road that leads to destruction. The narrator represents the older son and Sonny, of course, is the prodigal son (Tackach 112). It’s ironic that the narrator has a daughter named Grace. From a religious aspect, grace is the undeserved favor of God. It took Grace’s death for the narrator to show undeserved favor towards Sonny. Tackach…

Perseverance. This is something that Santiago, from The Old Man and the Sea clearly demonstrates throughout the entire novela. The definition of the word ¨perseverance¨ is steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success (“Perseverance”). This is the perfect description of the old man’s personality. He was willing to suffer physical pain, hunger and isolation to complete his task of catching a marlin or a big fish. Santiago and the marlin showed their…

and run to Collé. The terrified girls knew they could trust Collé and be protected because they had heard the rumors of Collé not having her daughter, Amsatou, cut when she was young.

Collé then ties the rope on the door symbolling that the Moolaadé has started and no one could leave the house. The Salindana comes to visit Collé to take the children back. Collé, being the strong and…

reality and I did not have an appreciation for things in life that I should have. Then of course, my life took immediate turn and changed my perspective on life itself. It was a late week night when my aunt Aleitha had called my mom saying that her car had broken down and she was just letting us know she may need help. Instead of her spending the night at our house, she chose to have the car pulled, with only a rope. The idea of that sent a nervous tingle down not only my spine, but my parents…

A Leap of Faith Sweaty palms, anxiety building inside the chest, face feeling flushed, all because of the one emotion that rattles more cages than anything else: fear. Fear has such a strong hold on each and every person in this world. It can drive us to do better in spite of it, or it can cause you to run as fast as you can in the other direction. I do not have many fears, but the one that trumps them all is heights. This fear has such a strong hold over me that I really was never looking to…

My mother was well known in a rural town in Mexico. I remember being selected at six years old to try on a special dress for the annual parade, which meant I would symbolize Virgin Mary. When I was given the role, I felt a great deal of responsibility to do everything correctly. As my float drove through the main streets, I carried the heavy doll by using every fiber in my being hold my arm up; I could tell the symbolism behind the doll I was carrying meant a lot to my community, and I did not…

Travelling by water is more comfortable travelling by air, it is because passenger can move anywhere in the ship. In the bigger ship, there are offering more space for fun activities such as bowling alleys, elaborate water parks with massive slides, ropes courses, bumper cars and surfing and skydiving simulators. Examples, Queen Mary 2 has include fifteen restaurants and bars, five swimming pools, a casino, a ballroom, a theatre, and a planetarium in the ship. Not only airbus can be travel…

Fate is an inevitable and most often adverse outcome, condition, or we can say end, while free will is the ability or discretion to choose; free choice. In the story Oedipus the King, one of Sophocles masterpiece, free will plays an important and significant role in the story. In my honest opinion, I am up the view that fate only intervenes in one instance, but on the other hand this is not the case with Free will. Free will is distributed throughout the entire story. I do have a strong belief…

shows a human figure on a rope harvesting honey from a wild bee hive, using smoke in order to divert the bees (Berrod). Thousands of years after the painting was created in the cave, the first evidence of beekeeping was found in ancient Egypt dating back to five thousand years ago. Wild honey was valued in Egyptian society so much that Egyptians would travel with their hives and would be found with honey in their tombs (Baessler). Beekeeping was so popular throughout the course of history that…
