Analysis Of 'Plastic Donuts' By Jeff Anderson

Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter conveys the war between passion and responsibility, and how it concerns moral duty. Conflicts which Reverend Dimmesdale faces show readers how difficult it can be to come forward and reveal your sins. The circumstances which victimized Dimmesdale made it harder for him to accept responsibility publicly, which is the foundation of much of this novel. Hawthorne uses Dimmesdale’s character to convey the true struggle between passion and responsibility in The Scarlet Letter. While Dimmesdale yearned to face his sins, his passion overpowered him and took over the

In the story "The Curse of the Poisoned Pretzel" by Paul Haven, the author encourages the reader that Skidmore Boddlebrooks is guilty of poisoning his brother, Manchester Boddlebrooks by convincing him to be the first to try "his" new invention called the "pretzel." In this story, the author, Paul Haven does not actually state that Skidmore was guilty of killing his brother. Unlike his older brother, Manchester Boddlebrooks who was very friendly, generous, and had a kind smile, Skidmore Boddlebrooks was very creepy, frightening, had shadowing eyes and sinister looks. While Manchester Boddlebrooks was admired by many fans and players, for he often offered sweets and candies to his players and fans after baseball games, and often invited his players to visit his mansion for weekend parties, Skidmore Boddlebrooks was not popular and well-liked.

Paul Haven was the author of the story above and it never provides any actual words saying that Skidmore did the crime of murdering his brother by poisoning the pretzel he ate, but it does provide many facts of how it most likely was him and that is what made me think it was Skidmore. I will explain what in the story of "The Curse of The Poisoned Pretzel," made me believe that SKidmore killed Manchester to get the money. A case of a man murdered by his brother was never brought to justice, it was said to have ended by a simple choking hazard when really it was an incident of an insane twisted family member. In the excerpt from the story, "The Curse of the Poisoned Pretzel," the author Paul Haven indirectly expresses his thoughts about the killing of the character named Manchester.

It is apparent Chris possessed a giving spirit and thought of others before himself. This is evident when he “insisted on giving Gallien his watch, his comb, and what he said was all his money” to try and repay Gallien for the ride Chris received (Krakauer 7). However, not only did Chris give as a form of repayment, he gave to others, even when it was not expected of him. For example, he donated “the money in his college fund to OXFAM America, a charity dedicated to fighting hunger” because he thought the people who would receive the money needed it more than himself (20). Through

Even when you don’t have money you don't have money you can still show love with sacrifice and kindness. Gary Soto, writer of "Oranges" is known for a body of work that deals with the realities of living in a Mexican-American community. Many Mexican-American Societies are not very wealthy and shows why giving up an orange would such a sacrifice in a Mexican-American society. In "Oranges", the narrator tells us about him walking to a store with a girl to buy some candy. He asked the girl "what do you want?" At the time they were both twelve years old. It’s a cold, gloomy day for a walk but they don’t seem to mind. The narrator has a nickel and two oranges in his coat pocket he plans to share with the girl. They walk to the drug store to buy some candy. The narrator tells the girl she can get whatever she wanted. Things take a turn and the girl chooses a chocolate bar that cost a dime. He ends up making a

The phrase "innocent until proven guilty" may be applied in the eyes of the law, but when a person’s reputation is at stake, the opposite can very well be true. As Shakespeare himself once wrote, “The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones” (Julius Caesar 3.2.84). Or, in other words, the wrongdoings a person commits are more likely to be remembered than any noble acts they may have committed.

Ernest Holmes addresses a trepidation we may have when giving: our resources will be temporarily depleted. It is common sense that the more we give, the less we have; but there is a principle at work which defies common sense, because the appearance of loss and lack is deceptive. Once we have sown a seed our hands are empty, but the soil is full and soon we will have our hands full with the harvest of that seed. If we had held onto that seed, there would be no harvest and we would eventually be empty-handed. However, giving in a principled manner does not incur a loss, but gains. Giving, as a matter of principle, is the difference between gaining more or having less. Of course, if we go through the motions of giving — appearing to give, but actually throwing money away in an unprincipled manner, then we have simply wasted our time, and our treasure. Not every seed sown, grows; some fall on hard, stony ground and never take root. Not every prayer is heard and answered; some fall on deaf ears — our own. Having ears, we hear not. Having eyes, we see not. And having our hands full, we give not. It is a shame, because we could give, have and enjoy more.

No human being is completely free. Individuals’ values, ideas and identities are influenced, and to a certain degree, shaped by the cultures and societies they live in. However, by realizing identity, an individual can find a sense of independence, which subsequently leads towards self-actualization. In the novel “Like Water for Chocolate”, by Laura Esquivel, the protagonist, Tita, faces her journey from a young, submissive daughter to a strong, independent woman who is eventually able to achieve self-actualization, which is reflected in her non-traditional sense of identity and independence, and is something that not only ties in with Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, but I can relate myself to as well.

As we pour into others, God continually pours into us; continually working in and through us conforming us to the image of Christ through serving others.

monster hanging above his layer. The layer was deadly it was simple steel platforms with rails above an endless pit, with chains and other uneasy objects hanging from the ceiling. “Ok Ill distract him you go for the door that's right there. It hast to be the exit” She made a mad dash as I start screaming at the know awake monster.

"Brownies" is a story by ZZ Packer, who is a contemporary African American writer. The story appears in her short story collection Drinking Coffee Elsewhere, which was published in 2003. The story provides a platform that reveals the strenuous relationship between the African American and the Whites during the mid of the twentieth century. The story entails the Brownie troop of fourth grade African American girls who went to a summer camp. During their camping, they did encounter a troop of white girls in which they believe one of the White girls had addressed them in a way that insulted their race. Considering the strenuous relationship that is prevalent between the two races, the Brownie troops chose to resolve it by beating up the white girls. Through the relationship of the two troops, the strenuous nature of the Black and the White people is adequately detailed. In light of the Brownies, the paper will provide a literary research on Packer 's views and facts. Indeed, the relationship between the Black and the White people has been fraught with injustice and oppression. Based on such premise, it has been an extremely polarized relation.

Religious beliefs soon formed new values as the importance of gift giving became a ‘tradition’ among religions. In most religions helping others who could not help themselves was already a steadfast belief. As people’s values of wanting to help and give to others started to intertwine with the calendar holidays many people started to look for newer and better gift ideas for their loved ones and soon strangers as well. Christian’s predominantly could be found buying minuscule little gift items, such as notebook paper, pencils, and ribbons, for the homeless children, their families and the poorer community that could not provide for themselves during the holiday seasons.

Wireless sensor networks are the networks that gather information such as environmental information, which there are numbers of applications of WSN such as healthcare, building monitoring, forest fire, smart home etc. WSN is capable of sensing, processing and communicating independently. However, as most of the sensor nodes are powered by non-rechargeable battery, the limitation of energy supply has considerably reduced the lifetime of the sensor network. Hence, new designs of sensor node network and energy efficient MAC (Media Access Control) and protocols for long term autonomous monitoring wireless sensor network has become the next vision.
