On the contrary, there is a way to for two parties to communicate their different point of…

The story of the Holocaust cannot be told in one simple way, there are many complex individual stories that make up the more complete Holocaust. Museums thus struggle with the issue of trying to decide how to represent the Holocaust and encounter the dilemma of trying to decide what information to include and what to omit. Los Angeles is a prime example of this struggle because they have two Holocaust museums, only a few miles apart, which have completely different backgrounds and motives,…

The way in which a story is presented can either be what Kenneth Burke refers to as good art or bad art. Good art is that which conveys multiple meanings through the context; bad art is that which only holds one meaning that is simply understood the same way among all audience members.

Through examination of the story and its…

self-concern, the distrust of one’s outside world and resultant fear of its expedition. To prove unable to speak when it is expected of you, for reasons either hesitant or uncertain, is to realize how voiceless you truly are. And it is the goal of this generalized introvert to acquire that voice, to speak freely alongside their peers, and become normal in the eyes of their perceived society. For me and in my pursuit of voice and normalcy, writing—more specifically, exploratory novelization—was…

mentioned before, this was true in the case of the rise of feminism. Before the turn of the century, “Women arrived, en masse, [to the Western frontier], and the ‘male-dominated homosocial world of gold rush California’ gave way to a ‘settled domestic Victorian discipline’” (Hoefer 49).

Most by a long shot consider satisfaction physical delight or respect, however…

one”, to be appealing, and if we achieve this, everything else in life will just follow. I would be lying if I said that scared little girl inside my heart didn’t still believe this to be true to some extent, but with age came wisdom but we’ll get to this a little later. Seeing all the “pretty” people on tv, movies, ads, even in real life can be intimidating, convincing us all for the most part that this is just how life is. I hate to admit, but this way of thinking was apparent in my own family…

will not make the same mistakes that I did because she knows to always depend on God before anything else. I plan on majoring in Psychology and I hope to be able to counsel others in hopes of making a difference. I know that God has put me in this path for a very specific reason and I will succeed for HIS glory and not for mine. I will get an education and and have a career for His Kingdom and not for myself. I now understand why I failed in my endeavors. I was doing all I could for…
