As I stated before, Willy is a very prideful man, and, according to Susan Koprince, author of “The Secret Life of Willy Loman: A Miller-Thurber Collection”, “Willy worries that he hasn’t left his mark on the world, that he has failed somehow as a husband, a father, and a family provider” (319). Throughout the play, Willy speaks of how important he feels…

Pay Secrecy The article that I found discussed all the different aspects of pay secrecy: what it is, what makes it illegal, what happens to employers that commit pay secrecy, and how employees can report it. The article also explained the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and how it protects employees about talking about pay at work place, which is legal. Also, President Obama has recently signed an executive order prohibiting federal contractors from retaliating against employees who talk…

Each chapter of Sue Monk Kidd’s The Secret Life of Bees begins with an epigraph, a few lines taken from various books about bees.

It consists of an outer mask that opens up to reveal an inner mask form, which might also open up to reveal a third mask form! Transformations masks are…

In Ian Urbina’s article, the connection between passwords utilized by people and how they can hold deep meanings delving into a persons’ emotions, thought processes, personal past experiences, and the very essence of who they are, is explored at length.

I remember growing up watching The Secret Garden (1993) over and over again falling in love with the magic that seemed to be there. Taking two miserably selfish children and seeing them transform into laughing loving children and a father finally coming home to his son touched my soul again and again. It would leave me in tears each time and still does today. This adaptation follows closely to the original story The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It only changed in a couple ways that…
