pictures in today's society seems like a normal part of everyone's life. We edit, post, and share them so that we can display to others what our day consists of. Not only has our way of sharing pictures changed, but so has our believes on them. As Susan Sontag suggests in her book, "On Photography," taking pictures gives people a defensive power against anxiety and a social tool of power. Sontag's stance on pictures is true, but, with recent invention of social media, I believe that taking pictures

“Trifles,” Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale band together as a counterbalance against the men conducting the John Wright murder investigation that leads to Mrs. Wright. Glaspell creates an empathy between the female characters for the disproportionate role women have. As the play progresses, tensions begin to surface, the men critiquing Mrs. Wright’s housekeeping abilities, the women gradually start to defend her, and eventually covering up evidence that would likely lead the men to her committing the murder

The show got multiple aspects of Korsakoff syndrome correctly. The woman confessed to the murder of her husband in spite of her inability to remember the act or why she did it. When confronted with questions about her murder by investigators she quickly confessed to the murder and signed confession papers. The doctor came in asked if she had picked up a cat on the side of the road named Millie. She agreed that the event happened and asked how he knew about it. The doctor says she has symptoms of

For my paper I thought I would look into someone who was daring and has always kept people guessing. He has become highly known for his outrageous outfits and on-stage frolics, both have earned him a legion of fans and just as many protesters. Marilyn Manson, born Brian Hugh Warner on January 5, 1969, in Canton, Ohio, has been one of the most controversial American goth-rock performer that has been protested and boycotted because of his perceived dark views. Yet genius in his own right. A well-known

Warning Signs is definitely something that you adventurous readers will want to get your hands on. Stephen White has concocted a masterpiece of a story with murder, psychology, family, love, mystery,scandals and good old police work. When the battered body of the Boulder County District Attorney, Royal Peterson is found dead in his home with pottery shards around his head, chaos ensues.

Trifles is a hundred-year-old short one-act play written by Susan Glaspell in the year 1916. The story stays in one room, the kitchen, and follows a couple of women and men. The women who are picking up the belongings of Mrs. Wright, at her home, as she is currently in jail while a few men investigate the crime scene as the night before Mr. Wright had been strangled. The men struggle to either find a motive for Mrs. Wright to be the murderer or evidence of a break into the house to investigate other

With Facebook skyrocketing in popularity and being one of the highest visited social media networks it has played key roles in sending important messages through images with text known as “Memes”. In this meme the juxtaposition of the two images cropped together above the text are clearly being used to try and bring awareness to societies urges to praise pop stars over their own military. In the meme the author uses some very key tools to make images more contrasting which really helps reenforce

Short Essay 3: Trifles The play Trifles written by Susan Glasspell depicts the classic contrast of how men and women think. This play was written in a time when society was still very patriarchal, the setting of rural farmland only adding emphasis. A man is murdered with he only suspect being his own wife although with no known motive. The motive, however, may have been discovered had the men been less dismissive of what the women thought. There are three men, who seem to be in agreement that women

In the one-act play, Trifles, by Susan Glaspell, John Wright has been strangled to death with a rope while sleeping in his isolated farmhouse and the main suspect is his wife, Minnie. The County Attorney, Sheriff Peters and Mr. Hale look through the house for clues to find the motive for the murder, but the real detectives turn out to be Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters. Throughout the play, the men make fun of the women for worrying about trivial household items, like Mrs. Wright’s unfinished quilt, but

3. The theme that I see in the freewriting is the story that the lonesome house tells the women, especially Mrs. Hale. The men are looking for evidence, but the women see, feel and hear in the silence. Murder has not been the experience of Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters, but they understand the emotions, the heart and the anger of Mrs. Wright. Minnie was silent for so long, she exploded in anger at the end. 4. The stillness of the lonesome Wright home clearly tells the story of why Minnie Wright killed
