Slut

another woman I laughed at first, pretended I didn’t mind. Ohhh but how I mind, I lost it earlier today and confronted him about it, but I gave in to his smile and said he could come for dinner, to amend things. He probably thinks he came over because my slut body needs him. Because God forbid that a woman like me could love a man like…

There’s always been a negative stigma around feminism, and besides, we’ve all heard of men against feminism or the ever-so-famous ‘meninism’, a notion preaching the superiority of men and the oppression of women by means of gender-stereotypical satire. Yet lately, an even more ridiculous notion has become increasingly popular: women against feminism. Some people drink from the fountain of knowledge, but whoever came up with ‘women against feminism’ clearly just gargled. Most anti-feminist…

The bell rings and class begins. “Boys please leave the room so I can speak privately to the girls,” I hear before my teacher begins math class. The boys file out of the room one by one as I wait quietly at my desk. Once the last boy leaves the room, my teacher shuts the door behind her and turns to face the class, “Ladies, please kneel in the aisle next to your desk.” I look around and watch as the other girls begin to get out of their chairs to kneel beside their desks. I, too, get up to kneel…

Sex is a person’s choice. They may decide to be abstinent, wait until they find somebody they love before having sex, or have casual sex that is not part of a serious relationship. It is a person’s choice as to when it is the right time for them to have sex. Whether it is to wait until marriage, wait a year, three months, two weeks, or even forty five minutes after meeting a partner; it is still a personal decision. My personal choice is to build a relationship and an emotional bond between the…

It was finally Wednesday night, thought Sophie as she pulled her tight red dress over her hips, this party is FINALLY going to fulfill my need for adventure! She could barely hold in her excitement as she slipped on her black high heels and her new leather jacket. Looking at her slim figure in the mirror, “This is going to be something I’ll never forget, so I better look my best,” she said. Gazing into the contents of her makeup box, she threw out one color after another, “Which lipstick should…

Unfortunately, about 41,000 people every year do not get to share the privilege with me of saying that they beat depression and suicide. They tragically cut their lives short for a plethora of different reasons. Perhaps they face persecution for being a member of the LGBT community or they feel that they are failing in school or their job and they see no way out. For me, I felt alone and isolated. Luckily, though, I made it through the darkest tunnel, and now I see nothing but a glowing future…

Despite the differences in plot structure between both Seven Brothers and Ghosts, we are portrayed with a few striking similarities between the social classes of the characters in both pieces of literature. In particular, the characters show a similar ‘restlessness’ amongst the social structure in which they stand. Furthermore, these characters seek to be in a class other than their own as the lower class tend to admire the upper class, while the upper class tend to admire the classes below them…

In the play, the women do express their questioning of the men. Emilia, near the end of the paly, even compares herself to the men. She continued to state that she suffers from the same affections, desires, and frailty that men do. Emilia then went on to say how men are brutish, unable to control their desires, and is weak minded individuals. But even though Emilia makes all of these comments about men, she said them all in privacy only to Desdemona. Emilia does not express these thoughts in the…

Semiotics is the use of signs and symbols as a way in which to communicate the meaning of the world to people. In a world full of semiotics, people are often unaware of the messages they are being fed. As humans, we automatically perform semiotic analysis on a daily basis without being aware of it. Are semiotics present in modern day rap and hip-hop? Yes! Typically, society develops meanings for certain signs as a way to tell individuals how to or to not act. It is through these signifiers in…
