the story. Next, the grieving father sits down for a sensitive interview. To conclude, the top prosecutor of St. Louis addresses the rising rates of gun violence. Emotion clearly saturates this story. The story doesn’t go beyond the feelings of heartbreak and speechlessness. In the United States, gun violence has been a growing topic of concern for the past few years. The majority of Americans know gun violence is a huge problem. This story plays the same tune that Americans already have fresh…

All countries create a national identify which may or may not endure some resemblance to reality. Australia’s National identity is constantly changing through the evolution of Australia from once being considered the sons of the British Empire to creating a unique national identity like no other. With Australia being a young and culturally diverse nation, which often struggles with how to define its national identity, the word “Australianness” can often been an umbrella term used to describe…

Til Death Do Us Part Every night before I fall asleep I catch up on the news from my iphone. I start off with the happenings in the world and the national arena since it 's the most depressing followed by entertainment news because it 's just “head shaking-ly silly” and I wrap up with the happy optimistic articles on healthy living and your general “nurture yourself” stuff. I need to read it in this particular order to be able to cleanse my spirit of the tragedies I have a hard time…

Before I get to my story let me give you a little background of how my family is where we are today. My great grandmother Suzie lived with her brother and grandmother in Romania. Suzie’s father went to America for work so he could later move his family there with him. Education has always been a big part of my family for many generations. It started with Suzie’s grandmother (my great great grandmother). Suzie’s grandmother walked Suzie and her brother to school every day and carried them across…

In this essay, we will be taking a look at the differences and similarities that can be found in two stories: “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin and “The Interlopers” by Saki. We will examine the big and small, the major and minor differences and similarities between these two short stories, and…

After reading several stories in Women Who Run with the Wolves by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés, I found two stories that resonated with me most: “The Ugly Duckling” and “Sealskin, Soulskin.” The former of the two stories is based on Hans Christian Anderson’s tale of the same name and tells of a homely little bird born to a family of ducks. The ugly duckling suffers much verbal and physical abuse from all of the other ducks. His mother defends him at first, but she eventually grows tired of his…

life. To say that it is sobering and surprising to learn half of the country hates, or at the very least doesn’t care about you is an understatement. There have been, thankfully, very few times in my life I have cried over that kind of pain and heartbreak. I was, and am angry. I’m frankly, finding it hard to get my head around everything. I take full responsibility for that. I was naive and optimistic. I should have known. I should have realized. I have a few “friends” and family on…

Many heartbreak songs tell the story of where the heartbreak started or what the incident leading to the infidelity was, and I believe the lack of that gives the feeling of despondence to the situation. Example 2: Dolly Parton, “Jolene,” 0:00-0:20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixrje2rXLMA…
