Shut Out

Everyone could see the fear written on our faces. We were worried that we would lose if she did not play. Then, our coach called a time out, and told us not to give up, because we were only down a few points. In my head I was thinking a few points or more like fifteen points. The second quarter ended, and we were down ten points at the half. We ran out once more to begin the third quarter, and to my surprise it seemed as if every shot we threw up went in, but eventually we got tired and…

got excited about them like every year, and then thanked everyone for my presents like every year. As we had just finished up opening presents, expecting no more, my mom told my brothers and I that there was one more present and got out her phone.

Out of all three of the main characters, my least favorite would have to be Cody Splunk. I personally loved the overall melancholy feel of the book despite what the cover would have one to believe prior to reading it. The stories behind both Laura Freedman and Janice Gibbs flow seemingly concurrently and are almost poetic in nature. There are many similarities found between Gibbs and Freedman that are not found in Splunk. He’s the odd man out basically. But, of course, him being the odd man out…

also known as the Mo Movie Measure or Bechdel Rule, is a simple test that determines whether women are portrayed as humans in a story, acting as subjects rather than objects. Bechdel came up with the test in the panels of her comic, “Dykes to Watch Out For”, in a strip called “The Rule”. It was simply in the form of one woman explaining her “rule” about movies to another woman. The rule names the three following criteria. First, a movie must have at least two female characters that are…

Out of the Silent Planet A Take on Philosophy In Out of the Silent Planet we see the bent, the broken, and the bold and how each of them holds a standard on the value of life.

He says that “...they swim into a hole where there’s a lot of bananas. They're very ordinary-looking fish when they swim in. But once they get in they behave like pigs...after they eat so many bananas they can't get out of the banana hole..they die.”(pg.14). It is a very strange way to explain an imaginary fish that you just made up to a young child, it’s a rather sad and grim concept. Unless you look at the whole thing as a way for Seymour to express his complex thoughts…
