this? They shove me in dirt, spit on me, and kick me in my sides. I still have the bruises from the last time they beat on me. Black and blue, just like you hear in the stories. There was a spot in the distance coming closer. First a spot, then a blob, now, it’s a person; a boy. He was coming towards me, his features contorted into a proud look of determination. Was he coming to beat me too? He wouldn’t get far with the barrier of the fence between us, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t afraid.…

Greek tragedies are renowned for their overabundant use of incestous relationships, smiteful deities, driven plots, and sophisticated philosophies. The great thought provoking, beard stroking Socrates, and master of the stylish intellectual pose, in his relatively modern book speaks volumes of Greek society. It follows the unexpected heroine Antigone in her quest to provide her father of a proper burial; however, in doing so she faces opposition from royalty and in turn the king faces opposition…

“Exterminate”: Imperialism and Racial Purity in Doctor Who Remembrance of the Daleks, a four-episode serial in the twenty-fifth season of the classic science fiction show Doctor Who, pits the Doctor against one of his deadliest foes: the Daleks. For the purposes of this response, I will focus on the fourth and final episode, which depicts this alien race, despite having the somewhat comical appearance of oversized pepper shakers, as a hyperbolic analogy for the ideologies of imperialism and…

meaningless life which are lack of involvement, inanity, and ineffectiveness. She personifies each of these traits into realistic individuals to further express her reasoning. For instance, to demonstrate lack of involvement, she designates the title “The Blob” to an individual “whose life is lived in hazy passivity … at a not unpleasant level of consciousness … but unconnected to anyone or anything.” Then, to display inanity, she emphasizes the lives of those “whose dominant activities seem…

We know what you’re thinking, “Hairlip?” Yes, Hairlip, the rubber chicken. This mascot has been representing Troupe 5476 for years now. Continuing the tradition of Hairlip means passing down the role of being the “keeper of Hairlip” from one junior to the next. This job includes taking Hairlip to any and all troupe events, placing him in performances at the theatre (with Mr. Buck’s consent), and keeping the spirit of Hairlip alive as a tradition. We have gone through several rubber chickens…

the internet into the world’s physical realm. Blum hopes for with more connections and an open understanding of what the internet is. There is no way I can disagree with the physical evidence Blum provides to show that the internet is not a glowing blob, but a series of tubes. Before this book I too thought of the internet as something you can’t touch. I assumed the wires from my house went to some place nearby and then traveled wirelessly around the world. Blum accomplishes his goal to show…

Hi, I’m Tuity the Tootsie Pop. Would you like to know the story of my life? Well, here I go. I start as a blob of corn syrup and other sugars, I’m liquid and hot. A big cold drip of cherry flavoring goes right onto my face. This is my favorite part, I get shaken and twisted to cool down. I go up and down and get twisted 360 degrees. Holy pops I’m so dizzy, but that was fun. For some odd reason they have to stick a white thing in me, I don’t even need it, but whatever. Here we go, rolling right…

I know what you will be thinking. What am I doing here trying to tell you about the Loch Ness, when you already know pretty much everything about the Loch Ness monster, Nessie? Well, this essay won’t just be about Nessie. Do you know the names of the people who claimed to first see Nessie? Or the fact that they owned a hotel, and that caused people to not believe Nessie was real? I could pretty well teach you some things about the topic everyone claimed to know so much about. Do you really know…
