Snickers

The divide in social status cuts deeper than the availability of cigarettes since it encompasses access to medical issues, such as safe abortions. Since Gabita and Otilia are underprivileged, they must resort to asking friends for cheap “doctor” recommendations. Unfortunately, word of mouth is not always reliable, and they encounter a lousy, disgusting man who ends up raping both of them. This could have been avoided if they were higher in socioeconomic status and had the right connections and…

Born in the USSR during the Cold War, my family was motivated to move to America, seeking promise and prosperity. At the age of four, my mom’s dreams came to fruition. We moved to San Francisco, where I felt at home among the vast spectrum of cultures and races. At the time, I truly didn’t see color. My grade school class was an amalgam of cultures, backgrounds and languages. My best friend was born in China and I loved going to her house, being immersed in the culture, seeing the red envelopes…

finally sees the truth of what his life has come to. In the four short lines where Prufrock says, “ I am no prophet-- and here 's no great matter; I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker, And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, And in short, I was afraid.” (83-86). After all those years, Prufrock lowered his Shields and bared it all to…

Where is Skinner’s rattus wakefieldus3 eager to press my educational levers for a bite-size Snickers or a gold star?” “Better you forget the educational theorists, and concentrate upon the school’s disciplinary policy!” She responded, pragmatically. “With zero tolerance.” She added, helpfully (although, perhaps, if you know Kurtz, not necessarily)…

“Professor, will there be a practical exam?” Making whoopee. Doing the tango. The birds and the bees. The Hanky-Panky. No matter what we want to call it, sex is sex. The debate on how we should educate our children, the future generations, about it has been something that the American society has not been able to agree upon. Sex is one of those topics that everyone has a hard time to control or police because it is an action that affects people and their life decisions and will always be a…

June, the month of the Dyad moon, the time the God and the Goddess become one. It is a time to seek harmony in all things: light balances dark, heat balances cold, and good balances evil. Brenna Lindsay stood silently in the circle she'd formed of white beeswax candles. The full moon bathed the clearing with silver light. Cool night air met the still-warm ground, creating wispy patches of ground fog blanketing the earth like a sheet of transparent white cotton. Her wolf, White Star, sat on his…

I ran into my room, anger filling my brain like water in a bathtub. As I furiously slammed my door shut, I heard my mother yell those dreaded words that I heard from her all the time. “Gosh! Why can't you be more like your sister?” I had been pondering this question and the meaning behind it for a long time. My mother always found a way to compare me to my twin sister. This time, she was furious that she received a higher grade on her chemistry test. As I began to reflect deeply on my life,…
