The House of the Rising Sun

This may lead to rising seas, changing weather patterns, more frequent hurricanes and other climate changes. Animal species will begin to die out as they cannot adapt to different living conditions- e.g polar bears will not be able to swim such huge distances as the ice…

Julie Otsuka’s novel Buddha in the Attic reminds me of the famous metaphor ‘The grass is greener on the other side”. ‘The other side’ is the right side of the fence that seems full of opportunities and possibilities to the folks standing on the left side of the fence. The story is about similar events that took place in the 1920’s in the United States of America which does a masterful job in relating this daring topic. As human beings, we all want to have better lives and living conditions, for…

seemed like it had been forever since she had seen him, since she had heard his voice. There was an odd noise echoing throughout Ginny's room and it took her a moment to understand what it was. Then it hit her, it was rain splashing against the house. Ginny leapt from her bed, excited. She loved rain, and the gentle way in which in cleanse the earth of all her sins. Maybe it could cleanse her as well. Ginny dashed downstairs, ready to feel the rain on her skin. She slipped on her shoes,…

involvement of witchcraft to protect his reputation in Salem. He wishes that the townspeople should “leap not to witchcraft… [because the townspeople] will howl [him] out of Salem for such corruption in [his] house” (13). However, after Reverend Hale remarks that the reason that the Devil chose Parris’s house to strike is because “it is the best that the Devil wants, and who is better than the minister,” Parris realizes that his reputation will not be tarnished, and begins to support the idea…

scrap which was looking more and more like a rose. My focus was broken, and I jumped away from the garage door like it was on fire. The door began to whir, and lifted itself slowly off the ground. I laughed, before crouching and crawling under the rising door. Andy smiled at me. “Hey, Sam,” Andy looked down at me again, still crouched on the concrete ground like a human frog. “I see you brought Luna again.” “She wanted to see what you were making this week,” Sam shrugged, “what do you need to…

Carolyn Dean’s article “The Trouble with (the Term) Art” emphasizes the ambiguous nature of the word “art,” especially in regards to ancient and non-Western cultures whose religious and mythological traditions are often embedded in the aesthetics of everyday objects, blurring the line between representational beauty and utility (Dean 2006: 25-32). The Codex Borgia can be seen as one such example of this phenomenon. The Borgia likely originated from the Valley of Puebla, namely the cities of…

Greek Mythology was a polytheistic religion that began in the bronze age and declined around the advent of Christianity. Greek Mythology was originally created to explain phenomenons in the natural world such as the rising and setting of the sun and moon, eclipses, stars, comets, seasons, and more. Another reason it was created was to answer questions like where someone goes after dieing (Atsma). This polytheistic religion believed that there were many gods and goddesses who were in control of…

something wrong, maybe she is too old and her demise may be near. The author’s use of point of view, symbolism, suspense, time diversion within a stream of consciousness, and satire makes the story guessing and totally interesting for the reader. The rising action takes place at the introduction of the story and the epilogue is the last sentence, while falling action is occurring throughout the story. “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall” by Katherine Ann Porter describes a soap opera type cause…

History of Art During my visit at Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington, I came across several modern and contemporary artists. At the time of my visit the museum displayed different pieces created by women artists, they called this, “You Go Girl!” exhibit. While viewing these works I viewed different artists with different pieces but similar themes. Each artist used their art to convey issues or their feelings using different techniques. One artist was Georgia O’Keeffe. Georgia…

as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories include getting thrown off the inner tube into waves so big they could swallow me whole, campfires that my grandfather would build rain or shine, just so we could get that perfect bedtime treat and a sun burning so bright I thought the sweet summer would never end. As far as I was concerned, Ipperwash Beach was a magical place that couldn’t do any wrong. From a young age, I can remember the whispers and lingering stares I received when I would…
