That Troublesome Locker… In 8th grade I remember being in Mrs. Manley’s class. In the class, we were assigned kitchens and had a certain amount of people in our kitchen. Mrs. Manley assigned us to make homemade chocolate chip cookies from scratch. My group and I just looked at each other and thought this recipe should be a piece of cake. However, the way the cookies were not what we anticipated them to be. As we placed our cookies onto the pan and put them in the oven, we noticed something…

Wendy also would have had in her room when she was her age. Though by doing this through Jane’s room, it more clearly shows Wendy as a mother, (since she had adapted a motherly personality even at a young age). In the picture, it shows her sewing, (with her sewing kit). This represents Wendy as a “motherly figure” (Barrie, 67). She is a motherly figure because even before she took care of the lost boys, she helped and took care of her brothers, John and Michael (Barrie, 59). In the beginning…

Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee. A shooting at Sandy Hooks Elementary school. Welcome to the new age. As this generation blossoms into adulthood they are baptised by lead and bloo 50% of lovers get divorced. They average student is 30,000 dollars in debt. Flint’s water is still undrinkable. Puerto Rico is still without power. Each day we the ozone layer melts and the earth hurls miles closer into the center of the sun.

somewhat swollen or puffy (do you remember the rule to figure out if something is swollen? Press it lightly and see if it leaves a mark, if it does. It’s swollen), please continue… if not, take that sewing kit and stitch your friend back up. For those that choose to continue, grab some thread from that sewing kit. Tie it around the end of the appendix, make sure it’s tight and just…

As time and artistic movements change, so do our perceptions of what constitutes “art.” In a continually globalized world these perceived boundaries are constantly being challenged by artists who blur the line of the relation between cultures, nations, religions and art. These changes are often stimulated by those who are unafraid to challenge the status quo. The artists of Japan and South Korea from 1960-2000 represent not only a formative time in the art world, but also a time of immense…

The story could be considered as having began the day prior when Mr. Wright was killed or many years before that when Mrs. Wright married him and changed so much. “Trifles” has a climactic structure as is evidenced by restricted characters, locale, and scenes as well as a plot that starts very late in the story. Protagonist “Trifles” is different from many other plays in the fact that the main character of the play, is never actually seen. Mrs. Minnie Wright is the main character. The…

says, “I’ll cut it with the scissors,” nobody says anything (Cinderella). However, when Jaq, the other male mouse, says, “And I can do the sewing,” the female mouse stops him and says, “Leave the sewing to the women” (Cinderella). The gender roles message is clearly shown in this scene. The men should do the labor work that using heavy equipment, and sewing is not a men’s…

In the beginning of the story, Calixta “sat at a side window sewing furiously on a sewing machine. She was greatly occupied and did not notice the approaching storm…It began to grow dark, and suddenly realizing the situation she got up hurriedly and went about closing the windows and doors.” Calixta is introduced as a devoted…

person will agree, therefore the suitors agree to wait for the marriage till Penelope finished sewing the shroud. Penelope is also very smart when the book states “but every night by torchlight she unwove it…” (Pg 22 line 113-114) Penelope’s actions are very clever because at the time she unwove it, it was nighttime and none of the suitors would know she was unstitching it. She managed to keep “sewing” a shroud for 3 years, and delaying her marriage which is very…
