The play Naked Lunch by Michael Hollinger focuses on the relationship between the two characters Vernon and Lucy. The two had previously had a romantic relationship, but for whatever reason ended it. In an attempt to get Lucy back, Vernon invites her to have a steak dinner with him. When Lucy refuses to eat the steak (due to the fact that she is now a vegetarian), things quickly take the turn for the worst. Throughout the play Vernon is controlling, demeaning, manipulative and abusive, and though it seems that Lucy tried to turn her life around and wants better for herself, she is submissive towards him. While telling the story of a previously estranged couple, Michael Hollinger uses metaphor, imagery and characterization in order to show

In Ann Hodgman’s “No Wonder They Call Me a Bitch”, although the title may suggest otherwise, different types of dog food are discussed. In this essay, Hodgman aims to inform her readers about the inequality in different types of dog food, as well as to entertain and amuse. Hodgman is writing to a broad audience, one of dog lovers and owners, as well as those that may be curious as to what is really in dog food, or more generally the packaging and processing of mass-produced food of any kind.

The film that I chose to write about is a Paramount Pictures presentation titled Mean Girls, starring Lindsay Lohan and also featuring a handful of Saturday Night Live cast members, including Tina Fey the author of this picture. The reason behind choosing this film is because it has a unique style of introducing characters, transitioning between scenes, and various tools to help spice up the film. Being one of my personal favorites, Mean Girls is a comedy about a home schooled teenage girl who enters high school for the first time. She tries to figure herself out by where she can fit in and who she needs to become friends with.

Cats, being the wise and majestic creatures they are, love chicken. Friskie, a 28-pound orange super cat is no exception, but apparently he prefers Curly Wings.

Miss Maudie on the other hand is introduced at the beginning of chapter 5 as Scout’s confidant. Scout says “She loved everything that grew in God’s green earth, even the weeds.”. Again this book must be looked at as an allegory. Miss Stephanie is the embodiment of all the stereotypical flaws of a Southern woman, Lee writes about her gossiping, vanity, and hypocrisy. Maudie meanwhile, is stereotypical in a different way. She is shown as a strong but quiet and gentle gardener who is for racial equality and always willing to help out. Miss Maudie is kind to the kids and after the trial gives them cake in a genuine attempt to cheer them up. Miss Stephanie though practically bounces over to the children on page 290 when Atticus has been threatened by Mr. Ewell, Lee

How far would you go to save a member of your family’s life? Would you be willing to forget your beliefs, to risk everything to save a loved one? These were some of the questions that I was thinking during the short story “Runs Girl” by Chinelo Okparanta. The story of a young girl who becomes a runs girl, which is a Nigerian escort, to earn money to pay for her mother’s medical treatment. I found the story to be interesting, which I believe to be the most challenging about short stories typically.

The theme of compassion is a major aspect of the story that influence Ada and her mother’s actions.

From the phenomenal way Mrs. Love is presented to the peculiar behaviors of Eugene, this play was eye opening. Mrs. Love is a misunderstood woman who just wants to help and she finds her only way, cooking. Her grandson Eugene is partaking in a sit in but he is not aware that the sheriff will never make it.
