What is it that makes every person differ from one another? Is it their upbringing and experiences or is the person they are going to become predetermined? To me the words belief, certainty, knowledge, and doubt are the four essential intertwining categories in everyone’s life that differ enough to make each individual different from one another. These categories are all important by themselves but it is the connection between each of them that is so incredibly important. As I explored through…

The poem is articulated from a second person point of view, as stated ‘hang over you in a dream’ and ‘why do you wake’. The use of second person demonstrates how the author feels disconnected to his past and his descendants. The writer struggles with his sense of identity, thus feels detached to his family. ‘Ancestors’ also expresses how a…

In a recent article written in the New York Times, by Adam D. Galinsky, a professor at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, discussed “Enclothed cognition”.

people may share the same traits but they posse a different type of personality. Our personalities and traits govern who we are but during circumstantial situations a new personality may takeover. This reveals that there were hidden traits in that person that are now submerging. In literature it is expressed how a character may change; in the beginning they are a flat character and towards the end they become a dynamic character. This is evident in the crucible where during circumstantial…

look at a neat person and assume a few things. The first thing we normally assume is that this tidy person has a perfect life where everything has its place and their world must be spick and span. Or on the other hand we think “Oh no! This is another one of those O.C.D. neat-freaks.” and we watch for the neat person to adjust their pencils in a perfect formation like we see people do on television. When the author of “Neat People vs. Sloppy People”, Suzanne Britt, sees a neat person she assumes…

“Be proud of who you are, not ashamed of how someone else sees you,” (2015). In today’s society everyone is judged, if they are slightly different or have something ‘wrong’ with them then they are made to feel unaccepted. People take one glance at someone and they’ve already pinned them as a certain label in their head.

Feys argues, “ To be human is to be an individual human, with individual tastes, talents, values and dreams that are distinct from those of others. Living in society, we are under the constant…

Caesar by Shakespeare and Oedipus the King by Sophocles are just 2 examples that come to mind and show how power corrupts. Caesar has been corrupted by absolute power and has thus revealed a tragic flaw… hubris. He refers to himself in the third person when he says “Caesar is turn’d to hear”(Julius Caesar, 1.2.20). This shows him having so much hubris and believing he is so grand and unique that even he himself has to say his god like name. This is later taken advantage of by his closest…
