Rock Springs, a short story by Richard Ford, tells a story of an unorthodox family travelling for unusual purposes. The story is told through the perspective of Earl, a morally ambiguous, yet endearing character who has to juggle fleeing authorities by stealing cars with providing a better future for his girlfriend, and two children. As a result, Earl’s character is an enigma; on the exterior, he resembles an ordinary father figure charged with protecting his family, but elements of his criminal…

“The Veldt” is a short and twisting story written in 1950 by Ray Bradbury about the Hadley family who lives in a futuristic world that ends up “ruining human relationships and destroying the minds of children” (Hart). The house they live in is no ordinary home, Bradbury was very creative and optimistic when predicting future technology in homes. This house does everything for the residence including tying shoes, making food, and even rocking them to sleep. The favourite room of the children,…

Rashaun Richardson February 17, 2016 In the story, “Shooting an Elephant”, the narrator is contradictory in his feelings, by supporting one set of people, the Burmans, but serving another, the British. The reader infers that he can’t decide who to fight for because in the text the narrator explains the treatment of the Burmans by the English, but then tells the treatment of himself by the Burmans. For example, the narrator states that the treatment of the Burman prisoners were…

Soren stood alone in the center of a room, shifting his weight back and forth. He sniffs the air, and the smell like generated the memories he tried to exile to the back of his mind, the part he wants to forget. He remembered the many days and nights being in this building and even wandering around this room while he recovered from his injury. Soren wore a tan vest and white pants as he continued to wait. He looked around the room that is just too well-ordered as everything in it had a place.…

narrow gaps in-between buildings. The buildings have floor-to-ceiling windows, making the towers a true curtain of iridescent glass. I’ve been to Chicago many times as an adolescent, far too many for someone who’s still in elementary school progressing towards high school. I was…

accommodation or in substandard housing. My idea is to devise a piece of theatre using workshops with some people who have gone through or are going through homelessness, once a piece has been devised then a short tour will take the production around schools and areas with higher than normal homelessness.

Just look at Europe as an example, they have what is known as a red light district where it is legal to advertise for sex in windows. A whole street is dedicated for prostitutes legally if you are of age. More sex trafficking is done in other countries. I am not sure if gambling and violence is more acceptable there but I know…

The new development is scheduled for completion in 2018 and is being build on 1500 acres of land, “right along the Incheon waterfront.” Rita Lobo (2014) of World Finance claims the Songdo IBD, “is the largest private real estate development in history with a price tag of $40bn (para. 1).” Many believe the new business district will…

Language is used to give tone, and the author’s word choice is exceedingly important regarding any connotations to the subject. Garcia Marquez takes a brothel; a place normally associated with dirty, degrading activities and glorifies it through the use of language. At Cervantes’ brothel, there are musicians who plan in an “enormous courtyard for dancing lit by lantern gourds bought in the Chinese bazaars of Paramaribo.” (Page 64) The atmosphere created by these words quite serene, the dancing…
