Disturbing reports of strange beings and painful operations have been around for decades creating a mysterious and disconcerting feeling in people everywhere. Whether we’re talking about greys or Reptilioids, some people are still conflicted about the existence of other intelligent life forms. Cattle mutilations, UFO sightings throughout history, and even UFO and alien images in ancient art all over the world is often common knowledge

Sexually Explicit Advertising is Detrimental to Society Just how far should advertisers go to sell a product? Individuals are reminded that a new age in advertising has emerged when Britney Spears and Victoria's Secret model Tricia Helfer grace the cover of Forbes, a traditionally mature financial magazine. However, as any good advertiser knows, sex sells; all people need to do is look at a newsstand or magazine rack. But while it sells, it also offends as the promiscuous use of sexual images

marked as "someone who is always alone" by his classmates and teacher (126). Other than that, there is nothing that really would make him stand out to Richard. Except, of course, for the fact that Rufu's face is similar to the moon's face from the Madonna "stepping on a black moon" statue in Wismar Cathedral (126).

nectar, and the Black Madonna. The Secret life of Bees is a dramatic conquest about the look for affection, nurturing, and having a place, a novel that has an uncommon intelligence about existence and the power and godlikeness of the female soul. Both Kitchen and The secret life of Bees are, among other things, a novel about parenting and how “mothering” can be done by a variety of people in one’s life.
