The Place

UNG Is a Great Place But... Everyone told me how great and horrible college will be all at the same time. Senior year feels like it will last a lifetime so you take your SAT’s and apply to the colleges that all your friends are applying to and the visits begin. You see all these amazing schools and the idea of college starts to build. Your parents bring you back down to reality with financial problems, distance and then you’re supposed to choose the college that you’re going to go to for the…

Critical Review: The Common Place of Law The Common Place of Law is an interesting empirical research of legal consciousness that is actually a very strong logical theory, in which law is recognized as both constituting and being constituted by social relations and cultural practice. The question that Ewick and Silbey spawn their theory from comes from the classic question, “how is the law experienced” rather than “what is the law,” this was a very compellingly argument made by Ewick and Silbey.…

Plot: The exposition of this book is rather unique, because instead of taking place solely in one spot, it was scattered throughout the book. The beginning introduces the main conflict –who owns the key –but not who the characters are as people. It takes a majority of the book for the reader to understand the characters. Foer decided to write the book like this to make it more like reality. It takes a long time to really get to know another person, and by withholding information about the…

As my best friends, Daniesha, Derrick, Lashantae, and I entered the classroom, we could already sense that we were out of place. Green Team was run by the eighth grade general science teacher, Mr. Lincoln, who wasn’t the biggest fan of my friends, or in his words “you need friends just as great of a student as you”. Daniesha, Derrick, and Lashantae weren’t the type of people I expected to become so close to, they accepted D’s on their report cards, they cursed, and bullied our classmates for fun…

As the hard winds of New York City hit my face, I looked up in adornment at the giant gold letters reading, “American Girl Place” for the first time. I faced my father, his giant frame proceeding over my small nine-year-old one, looking into his eyes waiting for the signal that meant I could go in. He smiled at me, took my hand, and led me inside. A burst of excitement filled up inside of me as I walked in and saw the arrangement of dolls lined up inside a glass case. Learning from the helpful…

“A Clean, Well Lighted Place” is Hemingway’s paean to a type of existential nihilism, an exploration of the meaning, or lack thereof, of existence. It clearly expresses the philosophy that underlies the Hemingway canon, dwelling on themes of death, futility, meaninglessness, and depression. Through the thoughts and words of a middle-aged Spanish waiter, Hemingway encapsulates the main tenet of his existential philosophy. Life is inherently meaningless and leads inevitably to death, and the older…

the community to be successful, but grow as well. Most families have chores assigned by the parents to the children. In my family, everyone has chores. Chores make our community beautiful, but also builds our character. In the short essay “ The Home Place” by Jimmy Carter, he implies, “ A two-rut wagon…
