Welcome to the End. Such an obscure way to title this, really... Nothing has stopped. Nothing has ceased. All has continued; as it will. To call it an end is flat out wrong and should be thought of as such, but, those aren’t my words to muddle. I only borrowed them from a dead man’s lips. Maybe things aren’t as they once were. Life goes on. ‘It is what it is,’ as that dead man once told me. Though, a better way to have said it would have been, ‘Welcome to the life hereafter,’ or even better

Wish Upon a Star While we wish dreams would become reality, at what point are dreams just... well, dreams? Fragile dreams and harsh realities are not always as black and white as they seem. Lines become blurred in a gray area. In plays, these contrasting conflicts drive the plot through character relations, internally and externally. In both Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire and Lorraine Hansberry’s, A Raisin in the Sun, the conflict between illusion vs. reality is developed through Blanche

These emotions that Bowker goes through are not in the form of anger toward the world, but instead they are feelings of self-hatred and extreme survivor’s guilt directed upon himself. After serving in the Vietnam

The phrase “Hester At Her Needle” was never used once, however, all but one appeared outside of chapter five, which was ommitted since it appeared within the title. In chapter three, the shortened phrase “at her needle” was used by an aforementioned matron to describe Hester’s needlework, tying it to her fantastical presentation of her punishment and titular scarlet letter. The following chapters “Pearl” and “The Governor's Hall” were not included due to the overwhelming usage of “Pearl” since it

In the modern society masculinity is seen as consumism status and accumulating possessions that dominates as a lifestyle. Both the flim and the novel differ drastically. This essay will prove that the adaption of "The fight club" by David Fincher from the novel by Chuck Palahniuk was sucessful.

Sonnet 18 is the first poem in which the speaker first attempts to preserve the beauty
