I am planted by strangers, in a field that never ends. I was found in Central America, where I was domesticated 5,ooo years ago. They decided to call me sweet potato, but to scientist I am called Ipomoea batatas a name I can’t even pronounce. I also am a pain to take care of. I need lots of water in a day, need sunlight, and the temperature needs to be 65 to 70F. I am harvested every year around summer time. Lots of people buy, my friends and I at the market for calcium, potassium, and vitamins

Looking or Seeing Making prejudgments about someone can give you a very wrong understanding of a person. In “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver, the narrator is not fond of having his wife’s blind friend over to stay at his home. He makes rude comments and makes jokes about blind people even though he does not know anything about a blind person, just things he has seen in movies. Something one can take from “Cathedral” is that there is a difference between looking and seeing and the difference can make

Many people remember the date of August 6, 1945 for a revolutionary action that changed the human race forever. At around 8 am, Paul Tibbets, aboard the Enola Gay, drops the most devastating force known to man: the atomic bomb. Tested in New Mexico, the weapon obliterated everything within a several mile radius, creating the largest explosion in history. The atomic bomb killed thousands of people in an instant and annihilated the entire city of Hiroshima.  Many people think that the attack on Hiroshima

with a strong narrative that seems to lace everything up to make it all come together with a variety of special effects, good enough acting, and surprisingly good writing. Code 8 starts off showing the close bond between the protagonist and his little brother and then goes directly into what it's like to be a special (the derogatory term used to describe 4% of the population with super-human abilities). Much like illegal aliens looking for work off the books, the protagonist and a group of other

Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women is a realistic coming of age story. Although considered a novel of realism, critics today are still debating over the theme of gender roles. One critic, Elizabeth Thomason, praises the novel for challenging assumptions on gender roles while another critic, Stephanie Foote, criticizes Little Women for the heavily domestic depiction of womanhood. Little Women focuses on several characters who possess qualities that stand in stark contrast to characters of other mid-nineteenth

of World War II the United States forced Japan to surrender by dropping bombs in the major cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They released the second atomic bomb shortly after, in Nagasaki, Japan. “Little Boy” and “Fat Man” were the first atomic bombs created, and delivered revolutionary damage. Little Boy was the first bomb to detonate over Japan. Approximately 90% of people within half a mile from the location of the explosion died almost instantly. Only about 10% of buildings in Hiroshima remained

In The Little Mermaid, Ariel begins as a brave, interested, and gutsy youthful mermaid. She investigates the ocean with her companions and saves Flounder and Prince Eric from drowning. When she builds up a crush on Eric and is quickly changed into a human, be that as it may, she transforms into a calm, lovesick puppy, investing the majority of her energy fixating on the ruler and staring wide-eyed in admiration at him and he is absolutely into this version of Ariel. She truly gets to be noticeably

Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid” and Ludwig Tieck’s “Rune Mountain” both use a great deal of distinguishing environments and variations in settings to drive their plots forward. The sea and land in “The Little Mermaid” and the villages and mountains in “Rune Mountain” not only physically portray the respective stories’ settings, but are also the foundation of greater ideas behind the tales. Such ideas are not explicitly stated, however are revealed through the spatial semantics of each

From this article, we learn how Disney characterizes different people from different cultures and times. It shows the hyper-sexualization of the “Gypsy” women, Esmeralda, in The Hunchback of Notre Dame and how this is directly related to a historical misunderstanding of the Gypsy people but also the sexualization of Jasmine in Aladdin. The term “gypsy” itself is controversial as some see it as a racial slur and the people are actually Romani. The author brings up how the representations of women
