    Arriving in Nashville has slowly unwound pre-conceptions that have formed back home in Brisbane. From what is commonly found as a hobby, music has found its way as a casual work opportunity rather than a well earnt reward. My first 24 hours in Nashville started off with 2 song-writing sessions at Belmont University. From a personality streak that is hard wound against popular ideas in writing music, I found myself mid-class fully engaged in a pop-country class. From seems as being taught survival

    “Fahrenheit” is a book that has an amazing story to tell. It’s exciting, thrilling, jaw dropping, and a bit confusing. It has everything you need to suspense to drama to happy ending. You might think that the author was trying to hard but in fact he took a concept and made it his own, and showed and told a very interesting story. Not only did he show he has a very interesting imagination but he’s one hell of a writer, and the summary on the back of the book does it no justice at all. My only complaint

    • 286 Words
    • 2 Pages

    One reason why we believe that this novel is unsuited for the grade 11 curriculum is because of the language and references it uses. In Brave New World, Huxley uses many references to Shakespeare’s stories such as: The Tempest, Othello, Romeo and Juliet, and King Lear. In the past, we most likely would have read these stories in detail at school; however in present day, we do not go in depth with as many of them as before. Since we do not have much knowledge with Shakespeare, many of the references

    When I began to read this piece, which I instantly notices was very short when I opened that document, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I believed the title of the piece gave little away, but now I know that “Dog Talk” was the perfect representation of what this essay was. It seemed to be almost a stream of consciousness about dogs. While it was very clear that the author was passionate about dogs, this was the only thing that was perfectly clear. The musing about dogs switched back and further between

    A book that influenced my writing greatly is The Great Gatsby By Scott Fitzgerald. The first time I read the Great Gatsby was my freshman year. I’ve always wanted to read it and I took a journey to the school's library to finally pick it up, open it and explore the world of Jay Gatsby. The second time I read the Great Gatsby was during the summer. I just watched the movie and I wanted to compare the movie and the book together. The book itself, and the history behind it was so fascinating to me that

    Upon rendition and interpretation of this extraordinary piece of literary genius, the conclusion that Ken Kesey is a true madman in his purest form has been had. What was extremely and utterly enlightening was his awe inspiring use of diction and the way his words seamlessly float and zip across the mind’s open gateway to create and materialize fantastic, rich, and cutting-edge imagery which is then transformed into mystical tactile sensations.
