The Hills Have Eyes

In the stories, “Hills Like White Elephants” and “Cathedral”, both main characters go through life changing events; however, only one evolves and becomes a more desirable human. The American, in “Hills Like White Elephants”, displays an egocentric personality, devoid of any character development. Although the Narrator in “Cathedral” shows little to no empathy in the beginning of the story, his mind is opened to new perspectives by the conclusion. Both stories show human personality flaws…

child. England, Descartes, and Collier-Meek (2011) claimed that Disney Princess films portray stereotypical presentations of gender roles and have several examples of racism and sexism by having almost every princess have large breast, a small waistline, and a white completion. I will attempt to answer the following question: Do Disney Princess narrations have long lasting effects on child development and self-image negatively? To answer this question, I will analyze scholarly…

bus with anticipation and my nerves are really shot, here i go on my way to the Elsberry cross country meet. I’m shaking on my way there, as we get closer to our destination i’m trying everything to calm my nerves. Laying down on my bag, i close my eyes and am soon sound asleep. Waking up with a sudden start to see one of my teammates telling me that we made it, i’m shocked and i force myself to get up to prepare for this run. Getting off the bus to see the beautiful sun and other schools…

Attack Of The Bird Poop Lake!!! Bang! Ahhh! Splash! I tumble down the sandy hill towards the slimy brown lake water. How this happened? Well, let’s start from the very first moment of this adventure… “Coming Esa!” I call from the garage of my house. Esa, my best friend is waiting at the bottom of my driveway. I hop up on my pink bike seat and pedal down next to her. “Ready?” Esa asks. I nod an excited yes. We pedal out towards the entrance to our neighborhood. **As bright, large,…

This year Spring Hill High School put on the musical of You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown. Which ended up being some of the most famous Peanuts Comic Strips that were sung and acted out for the audience. The original musical was performed in 1967, and was directed by Clark Gesner. During the presentation of the musical on Thursday, very few members of the audience knew what was going on, because it did not have a plot. Although, the musical was enjoyable for the older generation because they grew…

For it was my second year in this god forsaken continent. I reminisced back to before the war and the good times I had on our little farm in Saskatchewan outside of Yorktown and my childhood in England. We left when I was five in 1900 in order to have a better life. When the war broke out though and I heard volunteers…

When in Charlotte Amalie - St. Thomas' beautiful colonial capital - it is hard to miss the hills that tower above the coastline. One of these hills rises sharply from the bustling Havensight district and offers an incredible view of the city and the Caribbean Sea. However, tourists don't need to hike to the top to experience the island's best scenery. The St. Thomas Skyride to Paradise Point transports its visitors to a remarkable vantage point above Charlotte Amalie and features some of the…

especially those with wagons of poorer quality, as the spokes of the wagon would often break, or create a hitch. While I didn’t so much have an issue with taking the path, aside from the pseudo-agonizing distance, it was truly, and utterly, an eyesore. However, I did enjoy the views of both the left and right side of the path; of which, both, consisted of rolling hills, coated with lush emerald-tinted oceans of green. Defying the preconceived notions of many, under my assumption, the day was…

", I ask to myself. I turn my back to the pillar and look upon the rest of the memorial. It consisted of spacious fields that went uninterrupted except for a few of the museum's structures. The granite column cast a shadow down across a walkway. My eyes follow the shadow which led to one of the museum's structures. "Ah," I said to myself, "Let's start there." I enter the structure to see a hefty crowd circling about some object in the center of the room. I delicately push my way through the…

painting in today’s time, much like the Mona Lisa has been in the past. Munch found his inspiration for this piece of art from an actual place located on a hill in Norway and at the bottom of the hill was the madhouse where Munch’s sister was kept. The painting is of a person with a ghostly face, standing beside a railing. What catches your eyes in this photo is the person is standing there shrieking, mouth wide open, with a hand on both sides of their face. Once you look beyond the person you…
