The Bells

the mind is ill-equipped to deal with the loss, which can cause it to spiral out of control. In both the The Bell Jar and The Catcher in the Rye, each author creates a protagonist who loses a family member at an early age which results in a mental illness for each of them. Both authors expose how mental illness can stem from traumatic events occurring in early childhood. Throughout The Bell Jar and The Catcher in the Rye, Plath and Salinger use their protagonists’ to demonstrate the motif of…

High school was either going to help me make it or break it. Bell High School was not among the top high schools in my district. It was known for its high drop out rates, teen pregnancies, and gang violence. As I rushed to school attempting to finish my homework because I was not able to finish while babysitting, I always herd “Hey come take a hit “or “ look at this new product, try it out”, we all wanted to succeed, but nobody wanted to put in the time and effort to divert us from the wrong…

photography generally, but more specifically, domestic photography. This introduction is connected to Bell Hooks and Sally Mann’s photographs, image and identity and the language in the photographs are performing as a mediating role that built a bridge between experiences and the questioning of a feeling inside of a viewer. In Our Glory: I found the most enlightening and meaningful point in Bell Hooks’ essay. She stated, “The image can give back and take away, it can bind.” She refers an image…

Imagine that you and a group of children are stranded on a tropical island with no shelter, no grown ups, and no civilization. Do you think that this new environment you are in will impact the course of your life? I do because the people we surround ourselves with, impact our decisions. To start, the bad people we surround ourselves with impact our decisions by influencing us negatively. For example, in the book The Lord of the Flies, Jack, a character in the book, goes from a nice,…

advertisers aim to persuade people to 'buy' their particular product or service. As we have said, an interesting strategy is to use different languages mixed so as to reach more people and become international. It is the case of the following company: Taco Bell. Let's have a look → Why is this commercial different? It is different because of the visual content, the design and the unusual language. As my partners have said, the images attract the attention of the intended audience: they are a…

the ones that stand out the most even today are Boy Meets World and Saved By the Bell. Many people in America loved and still love watching each episode and finding out what schemes either Cory and Shawn or Zac and Slater are getting into next. Although both Boy Meets World and Saved By the Bell have many common qualities, the differences within each of them stand out as well. Boy Meets World and Saved By the Bell, interestingly enough, have very similar story lines even though one is set in…

Prospectus: Eugenics and the First Wave Feminist Movement The eugenics movement gained popularity throughout the world in the late 19th century and early 20th century by combining science with nationalism, and a fair bit of elitism. Countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada became concerned about the “degradation” of their citizens through the frequent birth of “unfit” children through genetically inferior parents. This concern, which was often founded and funded by…

but I questioned whether other young, African American women were told the same thing. In “Appearance Obsession” published August of 1995, in Essence Magazine, Bell Hooks stresses how much African American women are spending to look good. The pressures to fit into Western culture can turn into an obsession over their outward appearance. Bell Hooks believes that “the schism between how we view ourselves and how society perceives us, leads to poor self-image and low self-esteem among many Black…

Deceptive Advertising Try the new Taco Bell’s seasoned beef! This was the advertisement Taco Bell used in 2011. Ironically, Taco Bell’s meat has just 35% beef. The Alabama firm sued Taco Bell for using more fillers than meat. Taco Bell used between $3 million and $4 million to refute the allegations. The company also launched a “Thank you for suing us” full-page newspaper to mitigate the disaster (NPR, 2011). This is a clear example how companies use deceptive advertisements to sell their…

compared to those of lower class. She reveals the false truth that has been bestowed upon the poor culture due to misrepresentations. The unfortunate depiction illustrating the underprivileged has created personal burdens and disadvantages among the poor. Bell believes equality from the government and “working class” could link progressive change among a social culture to provide redistribution amidst community wealth. Unfortunately, if modern society opposes constructively changing ways the…
