Vine

struggle is shown through the poet’s word choice and syntax. At the beginning of the poem, the speaker describes the swamp as everything. The speaker refers to the swamp as the “center of everything,” that is made of “dense sap,” and includes “branching vines” and “dark burred faintly belching bogs.” The poet’s word…

According to Jane Goodall, “ Chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans have been [lasting] for hundreds of thousands of years in their forest, living [wild] lives, never overpopulating, never destroying the forest. I would [state] that they have been in a way more successful than us as far as being in [concord] with the environment” (Environment Quotes). Palm oil nourishes one’s appearance and rejuvenate the life of food products. The demand for this product has greatly increased in the past years, but…

How many of us have ever felt like we did not fit in? Have ever been put down, excluded or physically attacked because another person or group believed we did not fit in or did not measure up to their standards? Though most of us have been treated unfairly at one point in our lives, we may still fail to realize a much larger scale problem that exists in our society today; a problem which I strongly believe the majority of people are unaware of, and really needs to be brought to the table. This…

The video about The Tree if Life is very interesting because it is about the voladores ritual. This ritual is about a 1500 year old rite that is performed in the video by the Totonac Indians. The Totonac Indians are from Huehuetla, Puebla, Mexico. What happens in the ritual is usually about five flyers climb to the top of the pole and then, hang down by a rope which is wrapped around the pole. Four of five flyer are hanging upside down and rotate around the pole with the rope until they reach…

shows the theme of loss through a character named Mr. Behrman who sacrifices himself to save someone’s life. Sue and Johnsy, two young artists, share an apartment. Johnsy gets sick from pneumonia, and lies in bed counting the ivy leaves falling off the vine one by one, saying that when the last leaf falls, she too would die. Sue goes to Mr. Behrman, who lived in the apartment downstairs, and he wishes to help Johnsy since he considered “himself as mastiff-in-waiting to protect the two young…

this film is an exaggerated stereotype because he's like the crazy older man who lives on the block. All the neighbors try to avoid contact with him. He has white and gray hair and has a hunched back. He lives in an old run-down house alone with vines growing all over it and trash everywhere. He keeps to himself, can’t drive well, and makes crazy inventions, buts he’s sweet…

The Philbrook Trip I am not regularly seen at museums and would not say going to them is my favorite thing to do. This fall my art appreciation teacher, Mrs. Trotter, announced that we would be going on a field trip. We were going to the Philbrook Museum of Art. The only reason I was excited was because I had gone before and knew how impressive it was. We went to study the architecture of the house and the many Renaissance paintings that are shown there. Most of the class was able to attend,…

Slang Words Don’t Ruin Language The article is “Teens Aren’t Ruining Language” by Adrienne Lafrance. This article talks about the slang words that have been brought to the light by teens. It also mentions very brief history of slang words that are not used anymore. Three things that this article covers are what slang words mean, how it is spreading and being used by all ages, and how it doesn’t affect language. I strongly disagree with the part on it not effecting language. My first reason is…

The Beast The human mind can be used to create art, compose music and solve problems. It can also be used to cause arguments, create weapons, and support wars. In his book, Lord of the Flies, William Golding describes his experience with World War II. In the book, a plane carrying several boys who are trying to escape the war crashes on an island, and the boys struggle to find and kill the “beast.” The beast represents the loss of humanity, triggered by human fears, individual savagery, and…

similar to quotes in the Bible, in many ways. Ponder the idea that, “We are nothing, mankind is all.” That strips all individuality from any human, and puts all focus on society as a whole. This same idea is explored in the Bible. In the quote,“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” This is an excerpt from John 15 4-5 that gives the same idea as the chosen quote from Anthem. The passage from the Bible…
