2017 And Glass Ceiling Is Real In the United States of America, men seem to want full control. Corporations, organizations, schools even religions have been created by men and for men and they have great opposition to women infiltrating their management positions. Men have created glass ceilings for women in the workplace. A glass ceiling is an artificial barrier that allows women to see the top of the corporate ladder, but at the same time denies them access to the higher rungs of that ladder. Women

I chose to read the novels from the socio-economic hardships genre, which included The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. I had a very difficult time picking my genre due to the wide variety of books, especially since I could not find a genre where I was intrigued by both novels. After reading more into each set, I decided to read about socio-economic hardships because I figured that I could relate to them the most. Also, I had heard of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

It’s the first day of Junior year and as most other kids my nerves were going crazy. As I walk through the crowded halls to my third class of the day, I can’t help but to feel excited for my first class in what turns out to be my favorite place in my entire school. Room 421 is one of the larger rooms in the technology education wing that contains dozens of pieces of high tech machinery.

In the film “The Equalizer”, a thriller/action directed by Antoine Fuqua, there are several key scenes that build the storyline for the movie, however there was one scene that engaged my attention and I found had great relevance as I studied this film. It is the first fight scene where Robert McCall fights a Russian group holed up in a hotel room. Significant aspects that I noticed Fuqua use in this scene were the characters actions, camera techniques and lighting. I feel as though these 3 techniques

“I didn’t do it. I swear! It was those little kids. You may be wondering what I did. Why I was in a freezing cold dungeon, or possibly feeling bad for me. Well, I’ll tell you the whole thing.” I say. I was making my stew, the kind that I let the chicken bones sit in. I had no idea that two tiny demons were hiking up the hill by my house. “Just add some salt.” I mumbled to myself. CRUNCH! I peeked my head around the corner of my graham cracker wall and saw two kids (I assume they're eight or nine)

Weakened by the day’s toll, fair Simon walks towards the fire. He unknowingly walks towards what will be his deathbed. He is beaten to shreds when the other boys mistake him for the beast- or do they? As his lifeless body floats out to sea, the boys are in denial and disbelief. The tone and language used in both of these passages found in chapter 9 of “Lord of the flies” creates a large contrast between Simon’s murder and his valediction. Because it is written with Golding’s beliefs about humanity

Struggling between illusion and reality always drives people crazy. The general theme made by Tennessee Williams in her work “The glass menagerie” is that people have difficulties in accepting and relating to reality. More specifically, Mr. Williams indicates that even though sometimes people realize what the reality is, they try to escape and look for comfort in their private world of illusion. Tennessee Williams was born in a chaotic family of which the environment inspired him of the writings

The Glass Castle, Journal #1 — What are your early impressions of the Walls family? What do you think will become of them later in the book? My early impression of the Walls family was that they had a lot of problems. One of the reasons was that they let a three year old cook on a flame top stove and no one was even watching her or in the room with her.
