"Why Is a Scar on a Man..." Why is a scar on a man a mark of distinction, on a woman a mark of disfigurement? I don't know. Why is it funny when a man loses his hair, and tragic when a woman loses hers? I don't know. Could you make love to a bald headed woman? What will you tell her when the X-Rays turn the scar on her breast raw- hamburger red? When she's bald, lost her eyebrows, and lies closed-eyed with a skeletal look, will you kiss her and tell her she's beautiful? I don't know. What do you

The Loons Margaret Laurence’s “The Loons”, is a story about an Indian girl who tries to overcome obstacles in her life and discover a place of belonging, but in the end, dies at an early age. She grows up in an environment where she is not happy, and despite her efforts to leave, ends up back in her hometown, which leads to her death. The theme of this story is that everyone is a product of their environment, which is illustrated by Vanessa and Piquette’s lives and the loons on the lake. Vanessa

Herberth Portillo Professor Montgomery English 112 February 19, 2013 “When I consider how my light is spent” Analysis John Milton’s’ poem “When I consider how my light is spent” is a great piece of art that he creates during his blindness. The sarcasm and the word choice in this poem also have a great impact on how he masts feel. Milton also presents us with a key point on how God plays an important part in his point of view and his life. One of the best thing of this poem is the tone and the

When Abibatou Diallo was first starting school, her name stopped being so hard to pronounce. Her name stopped being what she identified at all. Her teacher took her name and with no objections from Abibatou began calling her Abby. Thinking about being called Abibatou, just fills Abby with a weird feeling now. Not a single person has called her by her full name in such a long time, that it no longer holds any meaning to her. Abby’s name is just one example of how she has been forced to become Americanized

As Dan West has stated every story has a beginning, middle and an end to it. I can tell you all sorts of stories from the past two years. Some of the events I have experienced are like none other and can be only described as a college experience. No matter how the story goes, or the content of the story, a constant theme of learning and growth is present throughout everyone. Throughout these past two years, I have learned several bits of information about myself. College can be described as a learning

Imagine growing up in a small town where everyone knows everyone's business and the nearest Wal-Mart is almost an hour away; then imagine attending a school where the amount of student attending is the same number of people who occupy a small town. The size difference is substantial and plays an important role. When I was younger, I had attended both a small town school and a school in the city. I have had the chance to experience the different lifestyles of these two variations of living. The development

"You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you." - John Bunyan. Last summer, I had the pleasure of doing just that. Baton Rogue in Louisiana was city devastated by flooding but united by service. Our church wished to help, and as luck would have it the St. Bernard Project organization would sponsor a volunteer group down to Baton Rogue to help rebuild houses. I wished to be a part of the group, and I was permitted after our youth director agreed to include

Since I worked and went to school, it took me six years to get through four years worth of college. I earned by BA in Literature and Writing from CSUSM in 2005. More than seven years had passed since the evening of my conversation with Rebecca. I had long since lost contact with her, and my life veered way off course from seven and a half years earlier. Not knowing what I wanted to do with my Literature degree other than write led me to get the first job I could find. I worked in a shoe store part-time

Living On-Campus vs. Living Off-Campus When going off to college, choosing where to live is an important factor. One must choose to live on-campus or off-campus. This decision is one that a person must choose wisely. Where a person will choose to live will depend on their personal preferences. The differences in each choice will help one decide. Where a student chooses to live will be based on what best suits them and their personality. There are many good and bad things about living on and off

My gut reaction to Act 2 of The Stranger is I found it dry in the beginning because it was him complaining about prison, but as he began to discuss his trial it became more interesting. The question I kept asking myself was, what will happen to his trial? Will he plead guilty, get off the hook or something totally different? It wasn’t a predictable book, it was one where you didn’t know what was going to happen until the end of the book. I ended up liking the book more after finishing it, I wasn’t
