Sadie Hawkins Day

In the cartoon Sadie was so ugly that she couldn’t land herself a man. Having all the bachelors in town, Sadie chased after them. When a man was caught he would be legally bound to marry her. Now every year for forty years this holiday has been happening. To the right is a graph by Chillisauce News of North America and Canada. It represents when and who is proposing to who. As you can see men propose a lot more than women. The time that men propose most is on Christmas Eve and the time that women propose is on Valentine’s Day, but men propose more than women. There is no reason this should happen. Women can have authority and have dominance over men. Again, here is a graph by Chillisauce News saying what people say of women proposing. Sixty five percent say that men should propose and thirty five percent say that women propose Olivia Danz explains, “A woman should be allowed to propose because it lets her express her love for her significant other.” She also says, “In a lesbian relationship tho girl pops the…

Paula Hawkins has created contemporary novel, The Girl On The Train, which has solidified her place as a good author. When read and evaluated through the eyes of Victor Nabokov, I could find different ways Hawkins proves she is a storyteller, teacher and enchanter. With her diligent use of suspense and detail, along with the use of multiple unreliable perspectives, Hawkins puts readers through a psychological game of critical thinking. The farther into the story you get, the more questions you…

If you were a sports fan in Hartford the day of my birth you had probably traveled to Dell Rapids the night before to see the West Central Boys basketball team. The Trojans, who defeated the Quarriers 76-68, were lead by Tucker Hansen, who had 23 points (“West Central 76, Dell Rapids 68” 4C). Also from around the Sioux Empire the police were searching for the driver of a truck that hit a pedestrian. The driver of truck hit a man from behind on 31st Street North and between Cliff and Van Eps…

In the novel Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, loneliness is a key theme. There comes a point in the novel where Dr. Frankenstein has to make a decision: to either make his creature an equal woman companion or to refuse his protégé and face the dire consequences. At this point, Frankenstein is knowledgeable that his creation is the murderer of his brother (and indirectly caused the execution of his family friend Justine). He sees just exactly the problems that his creation has caused and how much…

Service learning can be a rewarding experience for both participated and the person who uses the volunteer. This was my first time experiencing an actual volunteering assignment outside of my field of interest. The experience allowed me to utilize multiple talents that I had. The experiences I have opened my time to be involved in are not the types of activities I’m normally not interested in. In order to get my service learning volunteer hours I had to go for three days at two different…

Specialized daycares for disabled children Day-care plays a key role in the upbringing of a child. Disabled children should have their own specialized day-cares in order to get the full care needed. Many parents of disabled children face several challenges with finding a safe and welcoming day-care for their child. Quite a few day-cares and child services have difficulties dealing with a child with a disability due to the extra care and attention needed for the child. A child should never be…
