The Closer

After talking they realized that they both have lost someone and this is the first step for them to find closure (Erskine 56-61). They kept talking every day and it seemed to help them both, but, it especially gave Caitlin what she needed, closure. They got along so well that they created a secret wave (Erskine 61). As the book moves on they get even closer and do more and more…

A Review of Camp's Closer to Freedom: Enslaved Women and Everyday Resistance in the Plantation South Stephanie M. H. Camp's Closer to Freedom: Enslaved Women and Everyday Resistance in the Plantation South is a book whose central theme is premised on the idea of slavery. The book takes an approach that explains the relationship between masters and slaves as one that was guided by the use of different geographical spaces for both parties.

Enter Sandman The chances of getting a hit off of Mariano Rivera are about as likely as getting struck by lightning. While this is a bit of an exaggeration, there is little debate over the fact that Rivera is the greatest closer of all time. In his autobiography, The Closer, you are taken into the life and upbringing of the dominant, humble man himself. This was a great read, because of the personal account, simplicity, and perseverance in the story. I would recommend it to anyone who has an…

Take a Closer Look Although things may seem one way at first, take a closer look and maybe something will change. Maycomb’s perspective from the the book To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, is not necessarily the right one. There is too much controversy on race, gender, and social class during 1933 for there to even be a “correct” perspective. Some residents had no weight on their shoulders that hindered their appearance. However, there are many locals that have more than one obstructing…

The two that I found to be particularly interesting in both their thesis and the way in which their respective authors set about arguing their points are, Closer to Freedom: Enslaved Women & Everyday Resistance in the Plantation South by Stephanie M. Camp and Flush Times and Fever Dreams: A Story of Capitalism and Slavery in the Age of Jackson by Joshua D. Rothman. In these books both authors are very…

everyday. Two songs that I enjoy very much are "Shape Of You" by Ed Sheeran and the song "Closer" by Chain smokers. I like these songs for many of the same reasons, but they are different in many ways too. When I first heard these songs I wasn't so sure that I liked them. Then once you hear it a few times you will see some of the amazing musical qualities that these songs have. For example, "Shape Of You" and "Closer" both have the same mood. They both are talking about trying to get to know…

message or theme usually relates to love or substance abuse. A few decades ago, the messages were comparable, and even though society was quite different then, the themes in music were relatively the same. Two such examples are “Come a Little Bit Closer” by Jay and the Americans and “A Woman Needs Love” by Ray Parker Jr. Both of these songs share a common idea of women cheating. A genre that I do not care for is soul music and the song that falls in this genre is “A Woman Needs Love”.…

“Simply put, feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression.” (Hooks,1). As a women’s studies major, one of the main scrutinies I receive is when people ask me “So are you like one of those extreme feminists, the ones that hate guys’ existences?” I am constantly questioned about why I would support such an “extreme” movement. Throughout the decades, feminism has been put on blast in media and politics, portraying the movement in a negative light. Media over time…
