A Mission to Change Anne Shirley in Anne of Green Gables lived without parents for most of her life and she wanted to change that. She yearned for loving parents, an education, and a better life overall. Walt Masters in “The King of Mazy May” had a job to watch Loren Hall's claim and he found out someone planned on jumping it. Despite being just a boy, he knew it wasn't right, and he had to do something. Jenna Boller in Rules of the Road is an average teenager who works at a shoe store, finds out

fresh air, feeling the cool dirt beneath my fingers, sun warming my face, the grass scratching my arms and legs as I sprawl out upon the ground. Not only does the blanket bring back many childhood memories, it also represents my relationship with Shirley. The blanket was originally crafted for me, and I can feel Shirley’s love in every stitch. It is a memory, a piece of my childhood, and a piece of a lost

Shirley Jackson’s story, The Lottery, gave an uneasy feeling to the readers right from the start. It was almost as if the audience already knew about the reality of the annual lottery. Jackson organized her story by beginning with a description of a “clear and sunny [morning], with fresh warmth of a full-summer day.” Typically, stories with that kind of setting tend to play out fairly nicely. Not this one. Later in the story the readers realize that the lottery winner isn’t about to receive a couple

In the short story The Lottery (1948), Shirley Jackson asserts that tradition and obedience inevitably triumph over fundamental ethics and morality. The exposition takes place in a small American town with a population of three hundred villagers all gathering together on a pleasant, sunny day for the lottery—a tradition that had been implemented for decades. Although Jackson reveals little details about the lottery, the overarching tension portrayed through the characters’ subtle actions cannot be

Career and Technical Education has played a large role throughout the history of the United States and Ohio specifically. The legal history of Career and Technical Education in the United States and the state of Ohio has a long history dating back to the 1800s.

a young journalist of conservative disposition could receive: the Robert L. Bartley Fellow­ ship at the Wall Street Journal, the Eric Breindel Award, the Robert Novak Award from the Phillips Foundation, and a Publius Fellowship at the Claremont Institute. Hitting the trifecta is hard, but what Charles achieved is so remarkable as to be nameless: hitting - what, the quadrifecta? While leading his very public life as a student journalist, Charles pursued, more quietly but just as intrepidly, the study

much income you make. Low income Americans have access to these services too. “The United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare, for example, created a federal program to provide poor, married women with birth control. (Alan Guttmacher Institute)” “One in five American women have used the group’s services, and three out of four of its patients are considered to have low incomes. (Lynn M. Zott)” According

The aspect of having some living organism to have the same type of genetic information and have the same looks, is kind of a skeptical topic to talk about. It is very much more skeptical when the living organism has the same genes as the other and one of them were not born “by nature”. This phenomenon is called cloning. Cloning creates all types of controversies within the scientists and all the population, for the things that scientist can do with just a little piece of a cell. One of the main controversy

Words are powerful, and they are one of the primary ways we use to create perspective on our reality. The impact a single phrase or sentence can hold, could change millions of those around us, or even in ourselves. In this case, why do we as a whole, use words to damage and bring ruin upon our civilization that we so pride ourselves in? The notorious act of arguing seems to be the downfall of man in the most prevailing of ways, which is captured delicately in Deborah Tannen’s novel The Argument
