The Point

Why have teenagers been infantilized? Since the mid 1960 's eighteen has been seen as the point of adulthood (national park). It was at that age that we would set out into the world and become the productive citizens of society. However there has been a shift in this cultural standard. Nowadays most teenagers are lazy,full time pot smokers who have accomplished nothing with their lives. This is very disheartening when you think of how these people are supposed to be the leaders of the future.…

and was possibly pushing myself to go back to work sooner than necessary so I could see her. I had to admit it. I had a severe girl crush on her. I didn’t know what to make of it, so I decided for once not to over-analyze my feelings. There was no point. I knew the kiss didn’t mean anything to her, so for me I would just consider it an…

While sitting down thinking about our meeting. I tried to figure out myself what the root of the problem was. I have many thoughts about what it is but, I hvae decided that this is what I will communicate to you. Our relationship has been rocky for a while there are more good days than bad ones. The bad ones seem to happen when Marisha feels threatned by what I do not know. My idea of a team is a group of people working together to get a job done to help its customers and provide a product…

After each painted dial their paint brush would lose its shape, so after each time they used their brush they were encouraged to touch their radium covered paint brushes to their mouths to fix them to a perfect point once again. For fun, the young women would also paint their nails, face, and teeth with the radium they had and find a dark room to be in to make faces at each other just for laughs on their free time. Within months, the effects of the radium began to take place in them. They could…

narrative voice to reveal the intentions of Hardy in crafting such a story. The irony of the title, as what was supposed to be “A Mere Interlude”, Baptista’s short and tragic marriage to her ex-lover Charles Stow, eventually takes form as a major turning point in her life. It subjects her to much emotional turmoil and eventually leads her back to the one thing she hoped to escape from through her marriage to Mr.Heddegan in the first place; education. Despite such a predicament, Baptista is able…

In Marge Piercy’s narrative poem, “Barbie Doll”, the story of a young girl is told from the viewpoint of an outside speaker watching her grow up around the norms of society and ultimately ends her life because of it. Throughout each stanza, a new important piece of information is expressed to the readers to contribute to both the theme and tone of the poem. Piercy is able to cultivate the idea that inward beauty is not valued in today’s society, and that artificial perfection can only be…

“Impossible Year” by Panic! at the Disco is a song that has a gloomy feel to it. When I listen to this song, it makes me think about how Holden feels. The lyrics are a bit depressing and I believe that this relates a lot to Holden. “There's no sunshine this impossible year. Only black days and sky grey and clouds full of fear and storms full of sorrow that won't disappear…” is a lyric at the beginning of the song that reminds me of Holden’s negative thoughts on his life and other people. For…

Funny, bubbly, and spunky come to mind when I think about Kristen Chenoweth. She has been awarded multiple Tony and Emmy Awards for both Broadway and on camera singing and acting talents in many movie productions, as well as on-stage performances (“Kristin Chenoweth”). One, who has ever seen a movie or production that she has participated in, cannot help but to be drawn in by her acting talent and her personality. She has a mind-blowing acting ability, limitless energy, and has such a great…

3 Things As I went around asking different family members what they were grateful for, all looked intrigued as I posed the questions. Although their answers varied in length and meaning, it was interesting to see and hear what my family had to be grateful for. Furthermore, hearing the comparison and similarities of their items. I wrote my first “3 Things” down quickly at first as if already having the answers ready. I revaluated and decided I had much more specifics to recognize. I listed…

In a school as massive as Boston University, it is difficult for any one individual to become a prominent, widely recognized social figure. Yet somehow, people all over campus recognize junior Barron Roth. Donning a backwards black hat, a long black t-shirt with “Official” plastered in all caps across the front, white jeans, and white Vans with no socks, Barron sails past the windows of Boston University’s West Campus dining hall on a sky blue skateboard. A tiny gold cross swings from his neck…
