The Twilight Zone

When thinking of pairing something as influential as As I Lay Dying with another great American work of literature, the task could be achieved in a variety of different ways and assembled in several different themes. The themes of love, loss, betrayal and redemption are rampant throughout the entire scope of American literature of this time period; but if one were to choose two things to combine and contrast, it would be the wisest decision to choose agrarianism and the Southern Renaissance, on…

support applaud it in the movies.” While this statement refers to movies, it eludes to his disapproval for the death penalty, which is the common stance among liberals. Liberals think the death penalty should be completely eliminated because it is cruel. Their disapproval stems from the idea that the government is to protect an individual’s right to life, but the death penalty takes this away. The article, “The Way of the Gun”, says that guns are only used to kill. As a means to end gun violence…

(history.com). During the Potsdam Conference after the war, the allies negotiated a joint occupation of Germany, and in these negotiations, the tension between the democratic Americans and communistic Russians was clearly visible. Russia wanted a buffer zone between it and the rest of Western Europe so they claimed East Berlin and created many other satellite states in Eastern Europe (jfklibrary.org).

This poem, along with two others which looked in the same issue, marked the first time Frost printed his writing in The Atlantic. But it was not the first time he’d tried; that endeavour, as Peter Davison recalled had happened three years earlier in 1912, before Robert Frost made his famous leap to “live under thatch” in England, where he would develop known as a poet, he sent some of his poems to Ellery Sedgwick, the editor of The Atlantic Monthly, and in due course established a personal reply…

specific roles Biological differences are seen to beirreducible, but the meanings built around that differences are constructed. She continues to have a veiled existence, the veil signifying a barrier to reality and a metaphor for existence in a twilight zone. Women themselves sometimes come forward to extinguish such embers of resistance. They extend the codes of patriarchal ideology by denying voice and respect to the subaltern women. The feminine cultural traditions like these, though…

The field of aeronautics has been subject to a whirlwind of change, starting from the initial days of taking to the sky in clumsy contraptions of wood and canvas to the modern jetliners that ferry millions of people around the globe. Over the past few decades, however, there have been vast efforts to create aeroplanes that remove the humans from the equation called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). UAVs are powered aerial vehicles that do not carry human operators. They use aerodynamic forces to…

In the Mesa Verde region in the South Western corner of Colorado, existed a group of people known as the Anasazi, or Puebloans. Mesa Verde was occupied by farmers who lived in cliff dwellings. Due to its high elevation, it was believed that when the surrounding areas were experiencing bad conditions, people would move to Mesa Verde. The Anasazi existed in this region from about 600 AD to 1300 A.D. Between 700 and 850 AD, the population in this region doubled in size. However, just a few hundred…

four parts: an opening and Halloween-themed version of the credits, followed by three segments. These segments usually have a horror, science fiction or supernatural theme and quite often are parodies of films, novels, plays, television shows, Twilight Zone episodes, or old issues of EC Comics. Part of the attraction for the writers is that they are able to break the rules and…

I am a 10-Gallon person who has been enduring relationships with pint size people! Oh. My. God! This is what I heard Bishop T.D. Jakes say in one of Oprah's Lifeclasses on TV. It resonated so deeply with me and opened my eyes to the reason I have so often felt frustrated. The Pint People may be actually giving me all they have, but to my 10-Gallon self, it feels like, "Is this all you got?!" I cannot change anyone or anything, but what I can control is with whom I wish to spend my energy…

According to one soldier who fought in Vietnam, it was “a trip through the Twilight Zone, a Freddy Cruggar (Friday the 13th) movie and Disneyland all rolled into one” (Hochgesang and Lawyer and Stevenson). The variety of emotions and experiences a young soldier must go through in the process of a war is similar to that seen at a religious…
