Children are much like their parents, in the fact that they mimic both the personalities and actions of their parents. In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, the child of our protagonist serves as a window into her conscience. As do the many other town children of the early Boston Colony. The children in this novel are very different yet still hold many of the same attributes of their parents; they serve as the mouthpieces of the ‘hardened, true beliefs’ of many characters. It is the…

Think about the last movie you have seen. Was it a gritty action film? Perhaps a dreamy flick with starry-eyed lovers? No matter what the genre, media typically, consciously or not, embodies a specific ideology or two. Andy Tennant’s romantic comedy film, Hitch (2005), is certainly not exempt from this. The film portrays the career-life of Alex “Hitch” Hitchens. Hitch works as a professional “date doctor,” coaching men in the art of wooing the women they are interested in. As the movie…

Students and teachers alike have the invention of the photo copier in 1959 to thank for getting rid of this daunting task (Purdue University). A machine as simple as a photo copier or a project can help students and…

Chapter 1 (Every Trip Is a Quest (Expect When It’s Not)) In this chapter, the author explains why a character takes a trip using symbolic reasons. The character does not just take a trip, they take a quest. “The reason for a quest is always self-knowledge (Foster 3).” A quest is usually a person looking for the Holy Grail, going to a store for bread; these tasks of varying nobility. When the character goes on a quest, there is never a stated reason why the character goes on the quest. An…

bullying is… an emoji app (Vanity Fair). And yes, the article on the website I found it from was Vanity Fair, which was published a few months ago. I see dollar signs floating the air here… Okay, I’m going to end my discussion here. I’m sorry for the rudeness of my writing. Her writing for the Vanity Fair was just awful to me as she makes herself all too innocent in the writing. The extreme gloating of herself for the burden of handling fame and the cry of being outcasted on a daily basis just…
