beautiful couple” and smile towards the new lovers. Homosexuality. A controversial word. Man meets man and they go on many dates and steal a kiss or two and get an abundant amount of looks of disgust and disapproval.

Activists express their opinions on certain sensitive topics and publish literary…
inspiration from the U.S, and it has been like this for centuries. After the first Hollywood movies came on the market, Norwegian’s have been obsessed with the American culture. It started with the introduction of Coke, now you have Skittles, Oreos, Snickers, and even Beef Jerky has made its way to the Norwegian shelfs. That being said, replacing the already existing traditional goods, is not an easy task. For that reason, we must introduce just a few variations at first. Too many will make…
Mess of My Life New York, Central Park, Saturday, 12:45 pm. The noises are of a day in full swing, traffic heavy, cars honking, and children playing. The harsh rays of the afternoon sun impale my shut eyelids and I awake suddenly, every thought in high definition. My eyes take in every ray of light and I see the colors of brown and red, flood the park’s grass. I stretch, reaching my arms forward, breathing in the polluted, yet crisp autumn air of New York and without a doubt I know it’s the…
“Listen up people!” The coach strutted back and forth staring at each and every player. “Only 19 of you will make the team, so play your absolute hardest out there. In order to make the team all you have to do is score on me, one-on-one. Sounds easy right?” He pauses as his eyes land on the only girl. “Miss, what’s your name?” The girl stepped forward. “Olympia.” “Ok Olympia, let’s see what you can do.” With that the coach walked over to the goal and Olympia got ready with her ball. She…
by extension, judgements, are ill-informed than the entire system falls apart, which is why they say they are crucial. In order for it to work you have to have a proper perspective to make judgements, and in order to gain that you have to think carefully about subjective values to make sure they are appropriate. To help form appropriate values there have to be some restrictions. These particular restrictions include values that are informed and that fit the person. There cannot be any radically…
Jake followed the trail through the grove of hickory trees, and let his mind wander again to Duvall. With few exceptions, the bodies from the Scarlett Rose were unidentifiable, and although the sheriff concluded the outlaw must have perished in the explosion, Jake had his doubts. Something in the kid’s voice, fear perhaps, made him wonder. While the outcome didn’t bring him the peace he sought, it reinforced his need to return to Texas. The wind whipped at the trees, hinting at a change in the…
The topic that I have chosen to analyze is food insecurity within the United States. Having food security means that a person has both the economic and physical access to safe and nutritious food. Currently, there are about 49 million people in the United States who are considered to live in food insecure households. In those millions of people, about 47 million of them are on the US’s Food Stamps program, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Roughly 16 million of…
blinding in the morning light. "I'm happy to see that so many of you are taking this elective! Religion and mythology can be as exciting and interesting as any other class." A loud buzz startles me, making me drop my pencil on the ground. Stiles snickers from over next to me, grabbing his phone and checking the notification.

Have you ever been at a party or a dance and felt underdressed? Speaking from personal experience this is a horrible feeling, you felt insecure and like everyone is judging you. You can feel similarly when you venture outside of your social class. Many people feel uncomfortable when socializing with an upper class when they themselves are of a lower one. On the other hand others may not care about social class and choose to view the world without social standards. Andie, of the movie Pretty in…
William Shakespeare is one of the most significant figures in English literature. To an extreme, he is one of the most significant figures in the English language itself. Shakespeare wrote thirty-seven plays in his lifetime. That does not include The Two Noble Kinsmen, which he collaborated on with John Fletcher, and two lost plays nobody will ever see again. His work was revolutionary for the time. It added significant depth to story telling. Shakespeare also pushed the boundaries of what was…
