And I just thought, the first thing I will do when I am not on TV is stop shaving," he told Montana’s “Whitefish Review” back in December. I’ve kind of developed a real creepy look with it that I’m sort of enjoying. And I can tell that people are off-put by it. And the more people implore me to shave, the stronger my resolve is to not shave.”

In The Giver, Jonas decides to escape from his community because he wants his community to understand what being human is truly about.

If it is important, it is remembered. If it has any value, it will last far into the future, if not forever. This is why Michelangelo’s David, the Mona Lisa, the automobile, The Beatles, and Pride and Prejudice are all remembered. If it is the first to make an impact, it becomes important. That is when it will affect people in future generations. For example, the Model T is not produced anymore, but is the grandfather of almost every car made today, affecting jobs, businesses, people, and the world. The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne is taught today because it was one of the first important American written novels that contained obvious symbolism. Since symbolism is used in everything of literary merit, it is important to see where it started. In the same way, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has lasted through the years and still be prevalent today. This is achieved in the original books and continuing in spin offs and adaptations.

In this essay, one image from a fashion editorial entitled Alexander McQueen: Past, Present and Future (Knight, 2015) in AnOther magazine by fashion photographer Nick Knight will be analysed and deconstructed. The image used archive pieces by Alexander McQueen as a tribute to him before the opening of Savage Beauty at the V & A. The image is interesting as it pushes the boundaries of beauty and convention in respect to the role of woman and fashion image making. This argument will be supported by the opinions of practitioners such as Susan Sontag and Susannah Frankel.

Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities. Symbolism is found in everything, whether people catch it, or not. All throughout history there have been and will continue to be symbols commonly known for a certain aspect because it is a short way of explaining what the meaning or theme is. In both the short stories “A Rose for Emily” and “The Fall of the House of Usher”, they have multiple symbols that help give so much meaning to the story. Symbolism helps reinforce theme because it gives more of a meaning to things that you pick up without being told, and it also helps with bringing out the underlying messages.

It was one life-changing experience I was seven years old when I became grateful for the things that I had. I remember packing for this big trip my parents were planning for a year now. I precisely recall my mother telling me to go through my closet and pick clothes I did not use to give away, I didn't know why, but I didn't ask, I just did it. As the day got closer I remember my parents had accumulated a great amount of things to give away. I quite didn't understand why they were gathering so many things and for what reason.

My freshman year if high school I took a theater class. One day while in this class my teacher, Ms. Jonas, came up to me and asked me a question that would change my entire high school experience. She asked, “Do you want to audition for one act play?” By asking that question she got me involved in high school theatre which entirely changed me as a person. Joining theater helped me gain confidence, become a better leader, and find what I want to do for the rest of my life.

I was bruised, bitten, and banged up, and I loved it. The weekend had completely made my summer and filled in a part of my personality that I never knew existed. My king salmon fishing trip taught me perseverance, trust, tolerance, and that it is not always the trophy, but instead the journey you take along the way.

As I walk off the plane and onto the lot, all I see is beauty. “I’m so glad you guys are finally here to see Italy,” my mother says with excitement. Of course, I was so overjoyed when I arrived, all I thought about was visiting Virginia (my Nonna’s cousin).

Then the 134 arrived. I got on, showed my pass to the bus driver and

Tweet! “Everybody bring it in!” The Head Coach Yelled. Game time, I told myself. The coach starting explaining how tryouts worked. I wasn't really paying attention that much, all I got was that our first drill was passing. Passing wasn't my best area, but I could manage I think, as we trotted over to the turf fields.
