Not much was noted about her early life, other than she started writing children’s plays while she was teaching a kindergarten class. Most sources go on to note that she also started writing children’s television programs around this time. Esquivel is the author of Like Water for Chocolate (1985), which was a combination between a novel and a cookbook. It led her to becoming internationally known, after it was made into a film (in 1992). In 1996 she wrote The Law of Love, and in 2000 she wrote Between the Fires. Her latest work is Malinche (2006) and it explains the legend of a figure from Mexican history. Other than being busy with writing, she had got married

My favorite poem from our reading list was “Sex without Love” by Sharon Olds. It really hit home for me because, I’m truly going through something right now that I feel the same way. I don’t understand how people can just go have sex and not have strong deep feelings for someone. The poem describes how unique and magnificent sex can be. Then questions how you can anyone encounter so much passion without the emotion of love.

The 1960s was a decade of political and social upheaval. The counterculture, which was what the decade was called, became disappointed with all the restrictions and conventions of the straight society. The Summer of Love did not occur until 1967, but the decade was inspired by the Bohemian spirit which was already present in the 1950s; known as the Beat generation. The counterculture gained significant influence in liberal cities such as Berkley and San Francisco. In 1967, Scott McKenzie released his song San Francisco and with this song came rumors of a huge love-in in the summer. This is what fueled the Summer of Love. Leaders of the counterculture in the Haight-Ashbury district were anxious to start planning an

Because of his post-graduate training in France, Sweet was more educated than most white men. Ordinarily a young man of his professional status would have no trouble finding a respectable home in a respectable neighborhood, but he had to face racial discrimination. The Sweets had a difficult time finding a realtor, followed by difficulty finding a family who would sell them a house. According to Kevin Boyle's account of the Sweets' first impression of the Garland house, the Sweets were less than impressed. The area was a "workingman's" area filled with modest houses and two-family flats, but the location was ideal. It was close to Sweet's office and to Gladys's parents' home. The owners of the home believed they could get a higher price from

A film of strange a poetic beauty. Takes William Blake's themes of nature, innocence, and integrity, and throws them into a world of ignorance, violence, and cruelty. Sly sardonic humor throughout: Depp is not the Man With No Name; he's the Man With Someone Else's Name. Not many films can call themselves an existential, metaphysical and spiritual "noir-western". Love its unique slant on it. Not to mention the catalog of cameo's sprinkled throughout. Ultimately, it's about transformation. Blake's character is innocent, full of promise and dreams and believes he has achieved this disillusioned sense of the American dream and misguided freedom. He gets thrown into an ugly world of senselessness and lost souls. It's where dreams go to die. I'm

Over Independence Day weekend, I had some free time so I decided to watch a movie. I narrowed it down between two choices, “Life Itself” – which I eventually went with and loved – and “There Will Be Blood.” One of the reasons I chose “Life Itself” was that I hadn’t seen a Paul Thomas Anderson movie before and I was hesitant to jump in with one of his most recent films, which many would consider his masterpiece. I wanted a warm-up, so I watched PTA’s 2002 film “Punch-Drunk Love.” I am now more excited to take on more of his filmography, but also a little worried.

"In a perfect world, when he's with her, he would be wishing he was with me; when he looked at her, he would be looking at me; when he smiled at her, his smile would be for me; when he thought about someone, he would be thinking about me. In a perfect world, he would realize that I'm the one he was supposed to be with & I would still be standing here waiting for him still when he finally knows this. But this isn't a perfect world and people do get hurt. Because how can you give your dreams to someone else, yet share your dreams with me? Sometimes the truest love is the love that can never be"

One plus one by Beyoncé was just a regular song which I loved because of the message in the song about never giving up on your lover no matter the circumstances, always sharing an everlasting love and being content with whatever we have. Until I really paid a close attention to it, and more complex meaning started flowing through my brain therefore making visible, all the hidden meanings in the song. This song might just be a common love song to most people because they might not have taken the pain to pay close attention to what the lyrics might really mean. The song literally talks about staying with your lover no matter the circumstances and love is the most important thing in the world. However, I see that, the song is talking more about how humans will not have everything they always want to have but need to learn to appreciate, cherish, and be satisfied with every little thing they have. After I played the song many times, pausing to read the lyrics, thinking about it and finding connections with the song made me find marvelous meanings to the song and it fascinated me so much that I had not found meaning with this song way before because it’s something I play regularly.
