The Golden Ass

Jeremy,  You really think I could be content and settling answering a phone at a desk 40 hours a week again? I like a challenge and problems, so I can kick ass with progress. Perhaps if I was president of a college, CEO, Administrator or consulting, writing an article/book/movie from home while looking at you eating strawberries naked with chocolate fondu, "Jeremy, I hope all that fat goes right to my cake". I’m going to make you feel as alive as Jennette down the road did me, everyday of my life

“White washing in film is the practice of casting white, Caucasian actors in roles originally designed for people of color” (Pitman). Today the epidemic is more problematic than ever. While there are many views on the idea of whitewashing, one thing remains true— it is a somewhat a standard practice in film.

““Life is a game, boy. Life is a game that one plays according to the rules.” “Yes, sir. I know it is. I know it.” Game, my ass. Some game. If you get on the side where all the hot-shots are, then it’s a game, all right—I’ll admit that. But if you get on the other side, where there aren’t any hot-shots, then what’s a game about it? Nothing. No game” (Salinger 8). This quote highlights Holden Caulfield’s strong disagreement and contempt to adults; in Holden’s eyes, adults are phony and the only

heart melt, sea-blue eyes that seemed to have the ability to pierce into your soul and dig up your very essence. He also had a double charm to him, one side would reveal him to be a golden boy, very heroic and kind, yet he always had a hidden twinkle in his eye, hinting that beneath all that charisma, he was also bad-ass. All the girls flocked to him. All except one. Aphrodite. Aphrodite overflowed with love and beauty. How could she not? She was the goddess of Love and Beauty after all. She

I believe as a race we should not go through another war to defend our rights as a n Americans. It was an ancestor of mine that was brought kicking and screaming here to work free of charge because some lazy ass farmer could work his own land. Without his slaves three generations his great grand children let the farm fall into disrepair. They had to sell it off. I can say my grandmother was proud to let all that work go to waste. As soon as those bells rung she left that farm and never looked

Cruel and Unusual Punishment If you had the choice would you rather die from being crushed by an elephant or by what the persians called “Scaphism”? You could have rats dig through your flesh into your chest or be boiled alive (Eldridge 2017). It all sounds pretty tempting am I right? The eighth amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits the federal government from imposing cruel and unusual punishment for federal crimes. What is cruel and unusual punishment? What are the differences between old

In this current day, we are considered to be living in the “golden age of drug trafficking”. In 2016, top officials and diplomats from governments all over the world met at the United Nations headquarters to figure out what do to about the worldwide drug trafficking problem. Over various days of the discussions, they came to the conclusion to make a more extensive advancement and approach, but continue to keep conducting the war on drugs. They developed an “outcome document” that orders countries

desire to continue on the conversation. Far beneath her, a woman’s laugh rang out among the city noises. Sitting at a small table outside a café, a dark skinned woman examined the city around her with a seemingly careless glance. “Alright then, hard ass.” She paused, taking note of the three black trucks pulling slowly up to the sidewalk twenty paces to her right. “You seeing this, Mick?” Twelve stories above her, Mick followed the cars with the barrel of her gun. Her senses hyper focused, and she

cat burglar after all. Plus, she needs them to survive out on the streets of Gotham—especially East End. Thankfully, her little backpack was with her as she removed it from her back and begun her spree of stealing. [i]One necklace in the bag, one golden ring in the bag, two hundred dollars in the

feature male protagonists who traverse the seas, and the concepts and themes of men seafaring is common throughout most canonical texts. For example, the allusion of Odysseus’ difficult journey is made when a minor male character in Apuleius’ ‘The Golden Ass’ describes his seafaring adventures as being ‘positively Ulyssian’ (‘Ulyssian’ thus being a reference the Roman naming of Odysseus) (pg 29). Furthermore, both texts share themes, such as: seafaring, the supernatural, trials and tribulations, tradition
