The Story of Stuff

Have you read or heard of the two short stories that are called The Tell a Tale Heart or the Short story that is called called There Will Come Soft Rains. They are both short stories written by authors with different writing styles that are quite unique. Both stories were very different written by very different authors The Tell a Tale Heart was written by the author Edgar Allan Poe. The other story’s author that wrote the story There Will Come Soft Rains was named Ray Bradbury. The Authors…

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, is written with many important themes, which still happen in today’s society. One of the most obvious themes of this book is how society judges and acts towards another individual’s mistakes. For example, after Hester Prime, who is the main character, is labeled as an Adulterer society pushed her to be an outcast. Even after her child is born people still view her and her daughter as a follower of Satan. Today, people label each other based off of a…

time. Grandma Nyi is the type of person everyone knows. She’s the loveable type. My dad on the other hand is a Convicted Felon with many chargers. But that’s a long story. So as I got out the shower and did my Brazilian Weave and slicked back my curly natural edges it seemed pretty quiet in the house I noticed grandma Nyi wasn’t there. Stuff like this never happens she is always there…

He had never slept in a better bed, Rainsford decided. Rainsford woke up to the brick walls of Zaroff’s chateau. After all the events that happened last night he was very tired. He got up and cooked breakfast with some food still left in Zaroff’s house. He went on with his life like nothing was wrong living on Ship Trap Island for a few weeks or so. One early Saturday morning he woke up to a loud knocking on the door. He expected it to be one of Zaroff’s men or one of his friends. But…

1. Counting By 7's takes place in various settings. One of the many settings is Willow Chance's “single-story, stucco house in a development at the end of San Joaquin Valley” where both Willow and her parents (Roberta and James Chance) lived, up until the accident. After the accident Willow is taken to another important setting which is a Nail Salon called “Happy Polish Nails” where Pattie Nguyen works. The third setting takes place at a Garage, near “Happy Polish Nails”. This is where Pattie,…

boundary is crossed and turned into a craze. Several people say ambition is learned through existence and may be nurtured, but I am in belief it’s an attribute that is naturally bred, scientifically proven and a common denominator in every success story. You have ambition when you're a little infant all the way to your late ages, babies cry when they’re hungry, they have an ambition to get fed and do all they can…

Once meeting the family there are several ironic moments that imply bad stuff is about to happen to them. For example, when Mrs. Ashida says to Mr. Clutter, “I can't imagine you afraid. No matter what happened, you’d talk your way out of it” (Capote 36). This statement is ironic because he is about to experience a situation…

environment, and because it is a big scam. We might as well buy electricity in a can for a lot more money. Because that is what plastic water bottles are doing. Trashing the environment First of all it is horrible for the environment. According to “The Story of Bottled Water” it says, in one year just in the U.S we use enough oil and gas to make plastic water bottles to fill up 1,000,000 cars! Also in one year Americans buy enough plastic water bottles to stretch up from the Earth to the moon…

the field of grain, it symbolically suggests that he has changed his mind. Also, when the author points out that the man “could not see the train” (p.598) this is because it is not coming and the two never go to Madrid. Finally, at the end of the story, after placing the bags on the “life” side of the tracks, he walks through the bar and notices the people waiting for the train are drinking, he does the same “He drank an Anis at the bar and looked at the people.”(p.598) here I think Hemingway…

It seems like every day since the very first ISIS attack with the murder of journalist James Folly there is some sort of gory, tragic story on the news (Masi). Journalists claim that all the gruesome media has made Americans apathetic to the news, but I beg to differ. Modern people get so upset about all the news, even trivial stuff, to the point that it affects their own daily lives. The author of “Victims of Violence” shows how people react to situations in the media, what causes those…
