Stevie Smith

At the young age of twenty two, Stevie Wonder sang, “When you believe in the things you don’t understand / Then you suffer / Superstition ain’t the way”. He started his career in the early 1960s, but in 1972, Superstition established Stevie Wonder as one of the most recognizable musicians of his time in American and African-American culture and music. Although music was Wonder’s main priority, he also dedicated his time to a fight against racism throughout national and international borders. Musically

In Trifles by Susan Glaspell, the central character remains unseen for the entirety of the piece. “The central character - the person whose actions are to be understood - is absent, thus rendering her all the more a figurative blank space” (Keetley 342).

Further, the article, “Out of Character: Wonder Woman’s Strength Is Her Compassion - What Happened?” by Stevie St. John, explains how Wonder Woman was viewed as a compassionate woman in the 1940s and 1950s, and in the 2000s she changes into a more violent person. In this essay, I argue that a hero is subjective, and is defined by the villain or event that

The picture book I created is titled Four Seasons, it refers to the loss of a family member and the deterioration of that person in their final year of life. Life itself is represented in the book that draws upon happy memories with family. Death is also represented as the second life, where a parent might have to explain to a young child what happens when somebody dies and where are they now? Framing On page 12 of Four Seasons, I chose to use a green frame to represent the image as a single piece

The Clown As we run into the room we locked the door behind us and hear scream two days earlier. There she is Roxane she’s walking my way what do I do. I fumble with my books as she approaches me and I drop my book and we both go to pick it up. And our hands get there at the same time and touch and she blushes. As I quickly pick up the book I look at her and muster up all my courage and while looking down I ask her if she would go out with me, but as I look up a clown is in her place and it jumps

“I don’t know,” she replied. “I haven’t thought about it yet.” “I wish I could live like you,” Jacob said, without thinking. “Selling your body, you mean?” “But you don’t do that anymore.” “No, but what the hell else am I going to do?” Rather than answer, Jacob said, “What I meant was that I wish I didn’t know what I was going to do today. I always know what I have to look forward to, and it isn’t much. Practically nothing in fact.” “Really?” “Ignore me, I’m being stupid. It’s nothing.” And there

John Lennon’s Imagine is a very popular song from the music mogul. The song examines Social issues and injustices throughout. The literary elements and underlying messages in the song are phenomenal, Lennon examines issues in the cultural, economic, social and political context.

my senior year of high school, I was the FFA president at Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau High School. As president, I tried to make sure everything was done on time, but by the end of the year I was a little worn out. Irritated with having to do everything myself I tried to delegate but still ended up doing mostly everything. My officer team had clocked out for the year and I was upset. Sitting in an officer meeting one day before school, I asked my advisor if there was any chance we could talk to some

In life, we don’t think about the importance of conversing. But without it, think about how hard it would be to communicate to each other. In the story Trapped by Michael Northrop, the author uses dialogue to set up the problem. Without the characters communicating to each other, really there would be no story. I mean, yes a story doesn’t have to have dialogue, but it won’t keep moving. We won’t hear from other characters at all. And for setting up the problem in Trapped the characters communicate
