The Hills Have Eyes

After two lessons of learning, I have benefited much from them. I enjoyed the stories of Cathedral and Hills like White Elephant. The narrative structures of these two stories are very different, but they all have one thing in common, which is their fascinating ways of expression to create conflicts and tensions. In the masterpiece of Cathedral by Raymond Carver, the narrative style along with the well constructed architect of the story and theme combines together to form an excellent story.…

fast. We were using the washroom next door and carrying over empty milk gallons” (Cisneros 4). Before she moved to Mango Street, at a young age, she had to learn how to take a shower with empty milk gallons filled with water because her family did not have any water. Esperanza also does not get to fully enjoy her childhood because she has to contribute money to her family, so they can strive in life. Cisneros states, “ It wasn't as if I didn’t want to work… I needed money. The Catholic high…

Dozens of decaying drug infested communities remain unaltered, only communities like Canton and Federal Hill that have the potential to draw the attention of the upper class sector of citizens are even mentioned in the plans for revitalization (“Turf Wars”). Most of the remaining lower class citizens are relocated to several of the city’s remaining indigent communities…

disappear. You grow up with an understanding of accepting responsibility and taking care of the younger ones. Especially now that Papa is gone I understand that. I miss her lips touching the surface of my forehead and her soothing voice, but I know what I have to be. Bang, bang, bang! Loud noises come from downstairs. The thuds shake the rooms, loosening dust from the crevices in between the walls and the sconces. “Arek Hersh?” the men asks. “Yes,” I say under my breath, swallowing down the…

Puritans tried to create a city upon a hill, but this community is none of the sort, it is a community that is fearful of anything different, blindly faithful, and secretly sinful. Logic can’t reside in the Puritan community because of all the blind faith that goes on in the community, it seems that will do anything even without a reason. In Mary Rowlandson 's Narrative of Captivity after sitting in a tent watching the light as it drains from of her baby 's eyes, she “[thinks] of the wonderful…

The majority of Kansas State University students are able-bodied. While many of them groan when faced with a steep hill or lots of stairs, they are still capable of making it to their destination. This might not be the case for the disabled demographic on campus. There are many handicap accessible buildings on campus however some locations and entrances are unreachable for the physically handicapped community. General Richard B. Myers hall is located on the North West side of campus and is one…

“Welcome back to the first game of the season. We have here tonight the Hickory Crawdads facing the South Spartans. Mikayla Hill is up to bat for Hickory as we enter the ninth. Let's check in.” “ Go battabatta, go battabatta, swing,” the man behind my enemy said aloud. I could already see both men getting into their stances. The batter rising, back straightening, almost cutting through me with his eyes as he waited for the ball. The catcher sinking down, ready to catch the ball as it would…

I am Patricia Morris, a student at Granada Hills Charter High School in southern California. I have a project to research and present an injustice that I am passionate about. Because of my love of animals and science, I chose animal experimentation as my topic. As I researched, I was inspired to fight for every living creatures’ right to quality of life. I have decided to help spread awareness of the dangers of animal testing, and to convince others to likewise push for change. In animal…

already has a plan and everything that happens is for a reason, good or bad. Edwards wrote this sermon because he wanted people recognize their sins and to repent for the bad things that they have done. It is clearly shown in,"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" that God looks down at us humans, and in His eyes we are seen as puny, and weak, so easily fooled, and manipulated. Puritans beleived that if you sin, "The Bow of GOd's Wrath" will be…

after the town where it took place in, or a nickname given to Mary on the event of the apparition. In Catholicism, our woman of Guadalupe is the patron saint in Mexico, envisioned as a pure women clothed in a blue mantle. Her hands are folded, her eyes are looking downward and she is surrounded by a brilliant gleam. She is standing upright on a crescent moon bolstered by a holy messenger underneath. This is based on progression of five gathered appearances of Virgin Mary in Mexico in the…
