Born in Columbus, Mississippi, Thomas “Tennessee” Lanier Williams, was a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright whose work includes A Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. During his childhood Williams’ family took a turn in life when they moved to St. Louis, Missouri. There on, Williams grew up in a destructive home where his father was a violent alcoholic; his mother was ill; and his sister, Rose, suffered from several mental illnesses. This resulted in Williams turning inward and start

Dr. Xing pulled the door of the 20th Avenue 86th Street Starbucks open. The warm scent of freshly brewed coffee hit her, warming her from the brisk New York City fall. The two stools located in the left corner, right in front of the window, decorated with reusable leaf stickers are always the first seats she noticed. Her first kiss, at precisely 10:58 p.m. on January 13th. What she had felt was just skin, nothing particularly special. Maybe it was the person it was with – Austin Cheng. He should

The group that I worked with had a lot of fun hunting together. I worked with Angelique, Harrison, and Maria. The most difficult part for my group and I was trying to find times where we could all get together, but we were able to do it and get it done! Our first finding during the hunt was Gate’s BBQ. Gate’s BBQ has more than one location, but they were centralized in Kansas CIty only. The Gate family works at every location, but has other employees that are not family. The family members are typically

I am always for freedom; that is the truth. But I realize that today, we have too much freedom, so much so that the truth of our lives have been muddled into this really vague truth: whatever works is OK; as long as you harm no one, what you do is OK; if you obey the law, whatever you do within it is OK; that as long as you are conventional, as long as you obey what people say today, your amorality, your insincerity, your plain stoic unfeelingness is OK. But the simple truth is that this thinking

It’s 3:40 PM. I’m walking down the bridge staircase. The sun is staining the sky a bright blue. It’s not quite the pale blue of cotton candy at a fair. It’s a cartoonish, suburban neighborhood blue that would be pretty if it didn’t feel so fake. As I pass the painted wall by the school, a voice calls out to me. “Stella!” Instinctively, I turn, and immediately, I regret it. Sitting on the wall is a girl I don’t particularly want to get involved with. She’s wearing a full face of makeup. There’s that

Thank you, Chris, for that kind introduction and for your tremendous work on behalf of our Second Amendment. Thank you very much. I want to also thank Wayne LaPierre for his unflinching leadership in the fight for freedom. Wayne, thank you very much. Great. I'd also like to congratulate Karen Handel on her incredible fight in Georgia 6. The election takes place on June 20th. And, by the way, on primaries, let's not have 11 Republicans running for the same position, okay? It's too nerve-shattering

Covering a broad area of north and central St. Louis is the Grande Prairie Area, which is bounded by St. Louis and Grand Avenue, Delmar and Kingshighway Boulevards. From a beginning as a sparsely settled countryside in the 1860's, the Grande Prairie area experienced a gradual urbanization. This build-up followed a westward trend across Grand Avenue; among many people moving into the area were significant numbers of German and Irish immigrants as well as a few blacks. Prior to 1900, the population

The Revolutionary City provides its visitors with an adorned sense of place. Although Williamsburg was restored from its original structures, with some changes implemented by the modern centuries, an American faith has bestowed on the Tidewater town of Williamsburg, Virginia.
