“At its heart, laughter is a tool to triumph over fear” (4). Gene Weingarten does not make anything vague about the effect laughter has on people, which relates to the subject of the sentence. Laughter is not vague, only showing something was funny or emotionally relieving. The use of the word “triumph” in particular suggests that laughter has a very significant effect on fear.

important parts of jewish live. Others would say it is jewish just because it is a place of worship just like how we know a church is christian since those are the people who worship there. I believe that it is much deeper than that. A theorist Abraham Joshua Heschel has a theory that spaces are not important because they are spaces, but because of the moments that are lived through and I agree with him.

Hatred “ Racism is man’s gravest threat to man - the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason,” said Abraham Joshua Heschel, scholar and philosopher. This quote from Abraham means that racism and hatred aren’t doing anything but hurting us in the end by causing wars, arguments, and hurt feelings.

Hatred is also shown in To Kill a Mockingbird, The Absolutely

(2014), where it is observed that most other studies done on the subject of video games were mainly focused on aggression (p.609). In the current attempt

Where Wizards Stay up Late Where Wizards Stay up Late, the Origins of the Internet. Katie Hafner and Matthew Lyon walk us through the beginnings of the Internet.

The Hours, Michael Cunningham’s telling of the lives of three women in the course of a few days, reveals how the simplicity of objects can give insight into the characters, just by the way they interact with them. His use of mirrors, water and flowers explain the disparities between Clarissa’s, Virginia’s, and Laura’s lives suggesting that ultimately their weakness is themselves. The constant appearance of mirrors sheds light on superstition, helping us better understand Laura’s connection with Mrs

It is stated that General Leonard Wood never kept quiet in any job that he ever held during his thirty-five years of active federal service in the United States Army. “When there was work to do, he has done it, from chasing Indians all over our great Southwest back in the ‘eighties’ and over a good slice of Mexico’s northwest, to teaching Cuba how to rule herself.” (Sears, 1919) He was not known for sitting back and just ‘earning his paycheck’. Instead, he chose the more challenging jobs like building

Ideologies are meant to be shared and learned throughout a society to encourage the spread as well as competition of ideas. Through Anthem, Ayn Rand warned of the dangers of blindly and unquestionably following an ideology; the dangers to society that unexamined loyalty to a belief system cause to society are upholding oppressive and dehumanizing morals, decreased quality of life and the government taking advantage of their citizens Corrupt governments, such a the one in Anthem, use laws and its
