It was Emerson who said it best, “For nonconformity, the world whips you with its displeasure” (Porter 1155). With a detailed look of Amy Tan’s “Two Kinds” and John Updike’s “A&P,” you will find that this quote is entirely applicable in the context of oppressiveness and in the likeness of “coming of age.” These two stories document the different perspectives of two characters’ growing up and how the role of the invisible hand of oppression guides developing adolescents into mature adults; without
I believe in this article 100%. Reading definitely changes you for the better, and I can tie in with the improvement in my writing and extensive vocabulary as well as a surprising empathic side of me that grew once I started to get into reading. The benefits of reading are worth taking 15 minutes (or more) out of your daily schedule to pick up a book and get lost in it. When I was in elementary school, I read a lot of books- A.R. points were something used to measure the level of difficulty that
Andy Warhol Consumerism, business and authenticity. Considered one of the most glamourous figures in contemporary art. An eccentric figure he became infamous for his eccentric way of seeing and experiencing the world. As I find is often the case, Duchamp said it best - “What 's interesting is not that somebody would want to paint twenty-seven soup cans.

I will be providing information from three articles. The three articles I have chosen are about the shooter of the Las Vegas shooting on the country music festival that happened on the night of October 1, 2017. From what we have been told by the media, the shooting that happened during the concert was from the Mandalay Bay Hotel window just across the street from the concert. The aftereffects of the concert left about 500 people injured and almost 60 people killed, which includes himself. The shooting
through with his sentence. He told this to Crito many times and believed that it was the just thing to do so he would do it unless he could be convinced otherwise. Socrates’ decision was, in my opinion, unjust and ignorant, there is no justice in allowing one’s body and mind’s own destruction. To choose death is to give up on everything and is the greatest harm one can enact against their own “soul.” This essay will begin with a detailed explanation as to how Socrates was put into the predicament of
even look for idea’s to make cutting edge technology. As a teenager, I spend more time on computer/Laptop, smartphone and some other devices. “In the United States gross domestic product per capita increased three times from 1950 to 2000”. Technology have grown from a simple calculator to a machine who can think it self. Computers/laptops and smartphones have become common thing for everyone in other words “it’s a must have thing”.
