Essay On There Is A Short Story
Evelyn perched on a leather chair, slouching, with a dazed look. She ran her fingers through her thinning hair, a cloud of misery raining on her. Life
was unfair, terrible, and extremely misfortunate. Soft pats of rain hit a small window frame in her room, causing discreet splats. A hushed creak
broke the uncomfortable silence in the room. "Sweetie?" A dim figure peered through the crack of her door, but when she came to the light, Evelyn
saw her, with a worried look on her pale face. "Are you alright?" Evelyn grunted angrily, and stood up, out of her seat. "Mom, just tell me already." Her
eyes narrowed at the sight of her mother, she clenched her teeth. There was a noticeably awkward silence, and the sound of them breathing rippled ...

We should go to the park.. Or something." Her mother's eyes met the floor, and she bit her bottom lip. "I just don't want to live with regrets, when
you leave." The colors of the room seemed to disappear, leaving a lifeless feel to it. Evelyn's heart felt empty, the only thing filling it was sorrow,
anger... regret. "Fine." It wasn't a kind word, just a simple, blunt, 'fine.' They stood there for a while, the sound of her bedroom clock ticking was
the only thing that seemed to exist at the time. "Now go, get the car started or something, you're wasting my time, and.. My life, technically
speaking." She smirked as her mom hurriedly rushed out of the glum area to start the car. Evelyn collapsed onto her bed, feathers fluttered to the
ground, as one of her pillows had a big, gaping hole in it. She watched the white fluff twist in the air, and land on the carpet. Her eyes misted, but
then she quickly wiped the appearing tears away. "How did it end up like this.." She mumbled, dazed and lifeless, but then got up, and let out a
long sigh. Then she went outside to the car. The car was dead silent, it was too awkward to speak, no one had the courage to utter a word. Time
passed, and Evelyn grew extremely bored, so she was up for the challenge. But then, before she could speak, her mom did. "Why did you mention
your father?" Her mom shot a death glare back at her. "He's long gone, he's dead. We can't revive the dead." Those words rushed up to Evelyn's head

Jeanette 's Life
They stopped at the corner of Broad and Meeting Streets to finish their conversation and for a formal introduction to Jeanette's future husband. Who
along with his friend, had walked ahead and were waiting at the corner. He in turn introduced the young man waiting with him as Thomas Jackson, his
best man. Thomas spoke that he was glad to meet everyone and then he and Jeanette's fiancГ© stepped back to let the women converse.
Trying to be polite and chat with Jeanette, although the girl had never interested her before – she was shy and painfully plain, Allie wondered how she
even snagged a husband, especially one as handsome as the young merchant. The conversation was dull and completely one–sided. Getting a response

Her face flushed with embarrassment and she quickly turned away, determined to fight the urge to look at them again; and although it was hard, she
did not look either in the eye again.
She was relieved when her mother finally finished talking to Mrs. Ingalls and they were once again walking toward the textile shop. She could feel
the intensity of eyes boring into her back, but she kept walking without as much as a nod back in their direction. She knew she was not being polite
but she did not want to be embarrassed again.
Following her mother into the textile shop, Allie snuck a quick peek in their direction. Jeanette, her fiancГ©, and her mother had turned and were
walking toward Jemison's; Thomas Jackson was standing there staring directly at her. When he saw her looking his way, he smiled and nodded his
head in her direction. Their eyes met, and in that instant, something passed between them. She felt it, although she was not exactly sure what it was.
That was when she noticed the crinkles around the corners of his eyes and how beautiful his smile was. He wore his long, blondish hair tied at the
nape of his neck with a ribbon. Even from a distance, the color of his eyes was vibrant. The color of them reminded her of the Spanish moss that hung
from the oaks and junipers near the pond when the late afternoon sun shone on it.
"That's a nice looking young man." Her mother's voice surprised her and she turned quickly and

Lavender went upstairs. "She is not going!" Lavender appeared at the foot of the stairs with a backpack. She slowly slid outside. "She is going,
Susan, and no matter what I have to do, she is going to attend some sort of wizarding school, whether it is Ilvermorny or Hogwarts, I don't care."
He turned around, picked up his suitcase, and walked outside. Lavender was outside waiting. "C'mon," he said. "Hop in. I'm taking you to England,
and you'll attend Hogwarts." Susan walked outside as Jason started the engine on his car. "What are you doing?" "Taking Lavender to England. Bye,
Susan." He pressed a button which made the car invisible. The car then soared into the air. The last thing Susan saw was Jason's hand waving out the
window. Lavender smiled in the car. She was excited to attend a wizarding school, whether it be Ilvermorny or

A Midsummer Night's Dream Insult Comedy
In the play, A Midsummer Night's Dream the writer illustrates many different types of comedy. The type of comedy that was demonstrated in this play
is insult comedy. Insult comedy is the use of insults that one uses at the expense of another character to create comedy. This type of comedy in
Shakespeare is both ha–ha comedy and Shakespeare because the insults make the audience laugh because they're being insulted and because it is also
in a way, taken as a serious matter where the character is mad and just expressing their feelings in the moment. In this short essay you ready the
examples of insult comedy that were demonstrated throughout the play.
The actors in the play are arguing about who is going to marry the character, Hermia. There are

Negative Effects Of Microaggression
"My dog and you have the same name." Does this sound hurtful? Did I offend you? Yes, you did offend the person and it is called microaggression.
Microaggressions are hurtful statements that can inflict insult. Microaggression is an everyday action that people do without knowing it. However,
sometimes comments people say do not seem like microaggression and they do not sound offensive, but they may be insulting to the person. How does
an individual deal with microaggression? Microaggression is difficult to deal with depending on how you react to the statement/insult. An individual can
respond to microaggression in different forms. One can respond by counting backwards from ten or ignore the comment/ insult.
Microaggressions manifest in many ways such as, "You're lucky that you're black", "Don't you wish you were white", and "What are you". These
comments can be very insulting to a person. "Don't you wish you were white" can be very insulting to an African American or Hispanic person. In
other words, this example illustrates that the colored person is viewed down upon since they are not white. An African American is viewed down
because they were slaves and since they are not white, whites are seen as rich and powerful. Sometimes a simple insult like, "You're smart," can offend
a person without you knowing it. When someone says, "You're smart," people can start questioning themselves about their abilities and intelligence, but
there is a way to respond.

What Does BeatriceвЂ™s Language Show About Her Attitudes...
What does Beatrice's language show about her attitudes towards different men in the two different scenes you have studied? 10th February 2012
Introduction
Much ado nothing is a romantic Shakespeare play about two couples of lovers. The play is set in Messina, deep in the heart of Italy and is based in
Elizabethan times. The lovers are namely; Claudio and Hero, Bennedick and Beatrice. Claudio is a noble Florentine count from Florence. Bennedick
is a war hero from Padua. Both are honourable war heroes fighting for Don Pedro the prince of Aragon. Beatrice is the niece of Leonato the Governor
of Messina. At the beginning of the play Don Pedro and his valiant fighters return from the wars to Messina. While at Messina Claudio immediately

However beneath all this fancy language we can derive that Bennedick was painted all over Beatrice's thoughts and she cannot resist asking about his
well–being. When the messenger states he knows none of that name, Hero her cousin says "My cousin means Signor Bennedick of Padua" this clearly
shows that not only is Bennedick and Beatrice's thoughts he is also a subject of conversation and discussion between Beatrice and Hero.
The way Beatrice speaks seemingly spitefully about Bennedick shows us she is perhaps interested in Bennedick and trying not to arouse the suspicion
of the messenger and her uncle. By adding sarcastic comments and insults where Bennedick name appears shows us she is trying hard not to bring out
her real feelings for him, the name "Signor Mountanto" is one of the names Beatrice has devised to insult Bennedick however the fact that the name is
so complex in meaning and the inside joke so well thought out shows us she has really thought about this insult and it has not an insult off the top of
her head. Beatrice is more devious and careful about relationships than Claudio who seems rather desperate to get with Hero and throw himself
headfirst into a relationship that he perhaps knows nothing about. This suggests perhaps she has more experience in love and relationships and has also
experienced disappointment and is afraid of it.
STEP 3
When Bennedick and Beatrice meet they immediately engage in a fierce verbal battle,

Hamlet 'O What a Rogue and Peasant Slave Am I'
Shakespeare has created the act two soliloquy "O what a rogue and peasant slave am I" to give the audience deeper insights into Hamlets internal
conflicts surrounding his attempt to fulfil his pledge of avenging his father's death. In this soliloquy Shakespeare has revealed Hamlet feelings of
inadequacy due to his inability to act and the reasons behind his inaction. Shakespeare also uses this soliloquy to set up the play within the play as the
climax at which point Hamlet will be forced to be the revenging son.
From the beginning of the play it is obvious that Hamlet is extremely depressed and disillusioned with the world around him. In this soliloquy however

The Ground Zero Mosque: An Insult to America Essay
September 11, 2001, one of the most infamous and controversial dates in the history of the United States will be engraved in the minds of millions
forever and is once more a resurfacing issue. On this horrendous date in time, Islamic terrorists hijacked a pair of commercial airplanes and flew them
into the Twin Towers, murdering thousands and causing millions in damage. Nearly a decade later, an Islamic religious group named the Cordoba

The building in which Park 51 will be located was struck by the fuselage of one of the crashed, hijacked planes on 9/11. This building is also thirteen
stories tall, and is planned to include a bookstore, basketball court, and much more. All of these attributes are a little on the excessive side. If the
planned mosque goes on, it will cause way more trouble than it's worth (Esman). Ex New York mayorRudy Giuliani, who was in office at the time of
the 9/11 attack says "This project is creating tremendous pain for people who've already made the ultimate sacrifice. All you're doing is creating more
division, more anger, more hatred" (Weil). To be specific, "As of September 9, 2002, 2,819 lives were lost due to the 9/11 attacks and an estimated
$600 million was paid in clean–up efforts" ("9/11 By the Numbers"). These statistics cannot be easily forgiven by the citizens of the United States.
Another move that seems to intentionally provoke Americans is that Ramadan, a holy month of Islam, will be occurring very close to the tenth
anniversary of the 9/11 attack. Party–like festivities will occur in mosques worldwide, which is not at all courteous to sufferers of 9/11 (Vitello).
Instead of disturbing Americans by constructing a mosque so near to land they believe is sacred, both Muslims and Americans should accommodate
one another's needs and try to reach a compromise. Even some members of the Islamic faith know the consequences will be

`` Like A Girl `` Is Not An Insult
During the 2015 Super Bowl, Always, Proctor and Gamble's line of feminine hygiene products, aired a simple but powerful and sobering one–minute
advertisement. This ad aimed to provoke intellectual thought and conversation surrounding negative gender stereotypes by taking the idiomatic phrase,
"like a girl," and re–appropriating it to show viewers that doing or performing something "like a girl" is not an insult. The argument made was that
"like a girl" is not a derogatory phrase, and should not be used to suggest or imply that someone is overly emotional, weak, or useless. According to

Method In order to complete this analysis, I watched the full, three–minute version of the #LikeAGirl advertisement several different times. Each time I
viewed it, I wrote down the ways in which the different participants responded to the questions asked by the director. I noted the deeper implications
of their responses, such as how these individuals could have come to the conclusions that they did. I also recorded how their attitudes changed from
the start of the ad to the end. As detailed in the introduction above, in my analysis I employed the feminist perspective method to aid in parsing the
various perspectives and ideas illustrated within the #LikeAGirl advertisement. I chose this method because I believe the ideals and goals of the
feminist perspective method are effectively exemplified through the #LikeAGirl campaign. For example, one of the objectives of this campaign was to
challenge the dominant ideology and negative connotation of doing something "like a girl." According to the feminist perspective method, by
highlighting this idea we are able to show how "hegemony [has been] constructed and perpetuated" and also demonstrate something that we can
"change to make the world a better place for all people" (Sellnow, 2010, p. 98).

In order to fully appreciate an analysis of the #LikeAGirl campaign, we must take a brief look back at the history of feminism and its role in

Personal Opinion Reading ' The Cask Of Amontillado '
Personal Opinion while reading "The Cask of Amontillado":
To my opinion when I read the story I felt the dark and raw energy, the originality and purity of such a dark story. I liked it. I have always liked
original stories that have somewhat of a dark or gothic setting. I never liked werewolves, zombies or vampires though not that type of Gothic scene or
setting. I like dark love stories but not the supernatural dead love stories. It's not tolerable. At least to my likes and opinions.
Techniques the author uses to help visualize the story:
Well Montresor uses an excuse of an experience he had with Fortunato's in a time of insult to name himself a god himself to judge Fortunato for his
blunder doings towards him. Which in his opinion was just too much to handle.
Place: We presence both protagonist at the carnival. Poe has probably used this setting to give a chance for the main protagonist Montresor to truly
put at work his wicked plan. It is also well known that there are no deprivations and no place or the law to truly notice any bad and suspicious activity.
Later we find ourselves in a Dark setting where Montresor and Fortunato go into these tombs or underground catacombs.
Poe's uses imagery. Montresor face is covered in a black silk mask, Montresor has a gothic like appearance probably representing mystery and his

Summary Of ' Lady Audra ' Essay
Lady Audra, age seventeen, raised her fists and braced her feet in the soil. "Step forward, you little shit," she growled. "You can hit harder than that."
This was their typical routine, Audra and the teenage stable boy. In front of the horse paddock on Audra's parents' estate, she and the young man often
engaged in sword training and battle axe exercises, but today, they used fists.
Audra loved combat training.
She stutter–stepped forward, her long red hair in a wild tangle around her face, bruises smarting on her jaw from the recent blow she'd failed to block.
However, the stable hand dropped his guard and pointed over Audra's shoulder. She spun around and spotted her parents approaching on horseback.
Despite the heat of the day, they wore woolen cloaks that billowed behind them as they rode. Formal. Always so formal.
"Ah, damn," she whispered, dropping her fists. "They're back early."
It was too late to change from her man's tunic and trousers, which were, incidentally, torn at the knees and filthy. Why couldn't Audra's parents
understand she liked learning to defend herself? Besides, the stable boy was never all that rough. And why did being a woman mean one should not
stand up for herself, physically or otherwise?
"I am leaving. See you later, Audra."
The stable boy ran off, leaving Audra to face her parents, the cold Lady Ina and Lord Sior, alone.
Audra was their only child, and they'd never paid her any attention. Ina and Sior preferred traveling and kissing the

Gautama Case Study
Gautama was going through difficult sadhna to move to the heaven. One of his son was on his way to be famous in heaven by his own talent.
This should enhance the prestige of Gautama. Page 402 I was happy to hear the intimate talk between him and Sharadbhanu. I was very pleased to
learn about the interest shown by Indra for his higher education. I had worries about the establishment of Sharadbhanu befitting his talent. Indra
has already decided Sharadbhanu's future. I was getting indebted to Indra again and again. Who was not indebted to Indra? Even acharya Gautama
was indebted too. The Aryan rishis and their ashrams depend on the compassion of Indra all the time. Maybe the debt would be lessened a bit if I
get transformed to a lotus flower to be an offering to Indra. What else was there to be free from the debt? The first duty of the benefited person is to
show gratitude. I expressed my gratitude to Indra after hearing everything from Sharadbhanu. I thought that Gautama would be happy and grateful to
Indra too. I asked his forgiveness for not providing proper services to him, upon his unexpected arrival. I also expressed that Gautama would have
been thrilled if he was there.Page 403 With great care, I prepared the soma–rasa to please Indra. I added honey to make it tasty. Indra was very much
satisfied by drinking the whole thing in one gulp. He left happily after gifting the ashram. He also apologized for the cancellation of the planned trip
due to unexpected reasons. Indra was known as the well–wisher by the virtuous people. Today that was proven in front of me. I was very sure that
Gautama would be very happy to hear that I was able to please Indra during his absence. With a cheerful mind, I waited for his return. After
introducing Satanand to Janaka maharishi, Gautama returned with him next day afternoon. By the time he came back all the arrangements were
made for the travel of Sharadbhanu to Indraloka. My brother Narada arrived to take him there. It was good that Sharadbhanu won' be too much
affected by staying away from home. From his early childhood, he had been the dearest nephew of Narada. He used to please everyone by singing to

Narrative Essay
"Please don't make me do this, I'm begging you," Audra continued. "I'll be good, I swear. I'll do anything you want! I'll study harder and I won't talk
back to you and Father. And I promise I won't tear up my good dresses sword fighting and running about. And you're right! A noblewoman shouldn't
be out there making a dirty mess of herself and spending time learning to fight. It's uncouth, just as you said. You were right and you've been right all
along. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you before, but I will now if you'll give me another chance. Please..."
It killed Audra to beg her mother like this. Audra prayed the woman would listen; however, it was unlikely. Both Audra's mother, Lady Ina, and her
father, Lord Sior, were cold and emotionless people. Audra was their only child, and they'd never paid her any attention. Ina and Sior preferred
traveling and kissing the arses of royals so they could further their stations and seize more, more, more: more land, more riches, higher status.
However, due to her parents' chronic absence, Audra had been largely raised by nannies. Luckily, the women had been kind and gentle, and treated
Audra like their own daughter.
In a way, she was luckier than many, but even the best caregivers cannot replace an absent and indifferent mother's love. Audra felt very much alone
when she witnessed one of the servants or kitchen maids hugging their children or soothing a little one's scraped knee. Why couldn't her own mother be
like that? The notion

The Elevator William Sleator
Of all the battles young Martin faces from William Sleator's "The Elevator", a reader can grasp one of the greatest and most important themes to fit
this story. When Martin and his dad move into an apartment, Martin is apprehensive about it because of the fact that the place is old and practically
falling apart. For one, Martin is afraid of elevators, and he has to use an old one everyday. To top it off, he has to ride the old thing with a
mysterious, creepy, fat lady. Once Martin's situation gets to the point of being unbearable, he confronts his dad telling him about the creepy lady on
the elevator. Martin's dad is the exact opposite of how a father should be. Martin's dad insults him whenever he looks to him for help. Also, Martin
doesn't... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
However, this fails to account for Martin's dad's and the lady on the elevator's actions because for one, Martin's dad continuously, non–stop insults his
own son, making him feel like a disappointment. If one was to be treated like that by their own father, one would also think that they would be hurt
or affected in some way. Martin is not acting irrational or making a big deal of his situation, if anything, he reacted normally. Like I said before, in
the story after Martin goes to his dad seeking for help, his dad starts insulting him and calling him names, what does one think he should do at twelve
when you look to your father because you have no mother and all his dad does is insult him? Therefore Martin is doing well in his situation because he
tries not to cry as the story says, he only cries when his situation is unbearable which is appropriate in this situation.
In conclusion, William Sleator uses many different craft moves to lead to the theme. Sleator uses thoughtshots, foreshadowing,irony, and tension to
lead readers to infer that the theme of the story is in order to thrive in life, you cannot let other's judgement's change you or the way you think. Martin
learns the hard way because he allows his dad, bullies at school, and the lady on the elevator affect him, and then ironically his worst fear becomes a

roof saw a wolf passing by, reviling him with acrimony since it was a "safe distance" for the kid to do that. The tale ends with the wolf saying "It is
easy to be brave from a safe distance."
As one can see, this tale is short but packs with message. The author illustrates the moral from the mouth of the character at the end of the tale so
skillfully, without being abrupt or rigid. Moreover, the characters of the kid and wolf get readers closer, making the didactic tone lighter. Therefore, it
could get across to the young readers better.
After appreciating the skills that author uses in this tale, one should pinpoint on the moral within. From my own perspective, in this story, the kid
symbolizes a group of people who take potshots at others with supercilious attitude, for it does no harm to them to say so or they ... Show more content

Each haters are "doing their bits" to manipulate the whole thing from bad to worse. They are the kids who hide behind on the other side of the screen,
taking potshots at the idol wolf so defiantly. Nobody will neither know who the haters really are nor regard what they have done as a crime. Even
worse, the stars and idols do not have a specific law to rely on to safeguard their reputations and rights. Even if there is one, however, in the most of
the cases, it would be arduous to collect the valid evidence from millions pieces of comments and news. What's more, it is impossible to accuse every
single of the haters, making them pay back for what they have done. Therefore, the results always turn out that the idols are subjected to the endless
slanders and insults but the haters never cease to make them

Hamlet Character Essay
A lot about a character shows when that character steps back and says what they are thinking aloud. This is the case for Prince Hamlet. William
Shakespeare's play "Hamlet" features Prince Hamlet, who is depressed about his father's death and his mother remarrying so soon. Hamlet is visited
by the ghost of his father and is ordered to get revenge for his father's death. Hamlet devotes himself to the task, but because of his nature,he enters
deep melancholy and even apparent madness. Throughout the play, Hamlet can be seen being very noble but indecisive at the same time. Hamlet's
soliloquies reveal a lot about his character. However, they mainly show the readers how he can be noble but is indecisive. He can also be viewed
as someone in a deep state of depression. These values are shown through his actions of insulting himself for not acting upon what he believes in and
continuously reassuring himself that what he does is correct, as well as his word choice and feelings that are expressed out loud to himself during the
seven soliloquies. In Hamlet's first soliloquy, the readers can infer that hamlet is depressed about his father's death and his mother remarrying his
uncle. Hamlet says, "how weary, stale, fat, and unprofitable, seem to me all the uses of this world" (Act 1, Sn 2. 135–136). This statement is
expressing Hamlet's feelings towards his own life and how there is no meaning. Hamlet also says during his soliloquy, "She married. O most wicked
speed, to post with such dexterity to incestuous sheets. It s not nor it cannot come to good, but break, my heart, for i must hold my tongue" (Act 1, Sn.
2, Ln. 157–160). Hamlet is clearly upset over his mother being remarried quickly after his father passed away. He feels as though as his heart is
breaking, it needs to break in silence. He won't speak up about his feelings, possibly leaving him more depressed about the situation. During a few of
the seven soliloquies, Hamlet insults himself for not speaking out on his beliefs and questions a lot of things about his life. Therefore, showing the
indecisive side of him. One key component to Hamlet showing the readers how he is indecisive is when he says, "to be, or not to be? That is the
question" (Act 3, Sn. 1,

Essay about Guide to Becoming a Jerk
Guide to Becoming a Jerk
Being a jerk can be fun. It gives you a feeling of dominance over others; you are more important then the rest. You are the wolf among a flock of
sheep; people fear you, and therefore look up to you. Being a jerk is not hard; all you have to do is think about yourself and your own feelings, and
forget that everyone else has emotions. There are various ways of achieving this perception of importance; you can put people down and belittle them,
pretend you're better than everyone, or just be plain mean, unpolite, and nasty. Sure, there might be some little voice inside saying that you are no better
than anyone else is, but you can drown out that nagging reminder with constant insults to others. Nothing replaces ... Show more content on

This will make the other person feel insecure and reluctant to talk to you; the people around you will either think your comments are funny (they
aspire to be a jerk like you), or they will consider you rude and disgraceful. It doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks though, does it? You are
yourself and no one else; you feel only your feelings and no one else's; so why should you be concerned with anyone but yourself? You are king in
your own mind, and your perception is everything.
If you can't be bothered to be a witty, sarcastic jerk, you can just be a regular, mean jerk. This kind of jerk is intolerant and impatient (to a higher
degree than the other type of jerk), rude, and unsarcastically mean. The next time someone gives you something or does something for you, don't say
thank you or show gratitude; you should even go so far as to complain about what they gave you or how they should accomplish things faster. Don't
be grateful; if you are grateful, people will think that they can win your favor with good deeds; that's manipulation. You can't let anyone win your
favor; that would show weakness, and you have to be strong to show that you are of great importance. Be disrespectful to everyone, and elders and
authority figures especially. Respect can also be linked to weakness, since respecting someone can be taken

Descriptive Essay About Eating
"You just look really weird when you 're eating. It makes me uncomfortable."
A couple years ago, my sister saw me eating ice cream. That 's it. All I was doing was eating some ice cream. Apparently, though, my eating made her
"uncomfortable." I didn 't really think too much about it. I mean, she didn 't mean anything by it, right?
The more I thought about what she had said, the more I began to think: What if all of my friends thought the same thing? What if everybody around
me thought that my eating was weird, and they were just waiting for me to figure it out? I started getting less food on my lunch tray, out of worry
that I would be annoying my friends with my eating. I would leave the room to eat my dinner. I had a period of time where ... Show more content on

What this means is you 'll feel hurt, but most likely won 't call attention to the insult because you don 't want to cause any more trouble.
Most people don 't like arguing if they don 't have to. This is partially due to the fight or flight response ingrained in all humans. In an episode of
National Geographic 's Brain Games, it was revealed that 90% of people choose to flee, rather than fight, when confronted with danger. The same idea
applies to verbal situations. The problem with the flight response, however, is that many people have no clue they 're being rude.
If you don 't tell someone they hurt you, they have no reason to stop.
The most common types of microaggressions are hidden insults and gaslighting. Both of these are hidden within something seemingly innocent, but the
message that people receive is anything but positive. Hidden insults, or "backhanded compliments" are especially common in high school, where
students prefer to be passive aggressive rather than tell people what they feel. In a student survey of Pre–AP English students, it was revealed 59% of
students describe themselves as passive aggressive. 77% of students said they thought most people around them were passive aggressive too. While
hidden insults are supposed to be compliments, they normally have an underlying message, making the person feel embarrassed. Gaslighting is similar
to hidden insults, only instead of a

"Yes please." Qiana, my roommate, replies.
I get the coffee brewing and head back into the living room. I see Qiana at the sofa with her laptop open trying to study. Her hair is in a bun with
messy brown strands shoot out from every angle. Her eyes give a gray blue feel, the color of her worn out Disney world sweater.
I was about to sit next to her when the brewer beeped. It was alarming, telling me to hurry. Our coffee brewer has two slots which makes it faster than

"You are right." I say looking straight into her eyes. I felt tears as I thought of that moment I saw my mother crying. "I wouldn't know. You should

Insult Or Honor: Offensive To Native American People
Insult or Honor A fan once said "There goes the Redskins season" and most times they are right. Although some people find this offensive. Not for
the season part but for the name of the teams. For at least two years now fans and simple people have debated whether or not the teams name
redskins was offensive to the Native Americans. Some say that it was offensive to the native people, Others disagreed. Having a team named after
you is always respectful but in this case it is very offensive to the native American people. To begin with, the Washington's team needs to change their
name because it is offensive to those people. The author of a sports article wrote by Potenza, a ESPN sports writer, said " many native American
groups ,lawmakers and fans are pressuring them to change their name(Potenza 1)." The evidence shows that many other people besides the natives
agree that they need to change the name to something less offensive. A native American said that " to the fans we exist as a warrior culture(Potenza1)".

In the article "insult or honor" a tribe said "we tried a peaceful protest ,but they didn't seem like they noticed us at all (Potenza 2)." The tribe wants to
get noticed. A peaceful act didn't help so the next time they try to get noticed they may try something a little more harmful.another terrific example of
a harmful reaction is when "we made threats of suing...(Potenza1)." Even then they still didn't even consider what the simple request they were
asking. It seems as if the owners don't care for the offended tribes. Reporters say that this is only a minor problem. This may only seem like a minor
problem to you and I but to them this is the biggest problem. To conclude, the offensive names like redskins cause harmful reactions by the people

Summary Of Me Talk Pretty One Day
My thoughts of "Me Talk Pretty One Day"
In "Me Talk Pretty One Day" an essay written by David Sedaris, the author shares his moving to France and returning to school as an adult. The essay
is informal and written in everyday language. The writer's purpose is to inspire anyone, who encounter any obstacles that they may combat in life.
However, the author's tone reveals the attitude he has toward life, by illustrates the fear he faces of returning to school and the challenges he faces, his
fear of failure, and overcoming his fear.
The first dilemma that Sedaris faces is experience of moving to France. Even though he is concern about his move to a foreign country, he did not
allow the fear to overtake. Sedaris began the story with the statement of him learning to speak French in France. Here is a perfect example, some
people believe this fact to be true. They think that if they surround themselves by people that only speak the language will be forced to engage in
conservations. By speaking the language daily, one would become fluent in speaking the language.
Sedaris continues with his experiences being uncomfortable around the other younger students. He also tells the reader regardless of their
nationalities, the younger students seem to speak be speaking French. One feel out of place because of the age gap. Especially when one has no idea
what people are saying. One could become paranoid, what are they saying are they talking about me. One can image how he

Montressor Insults
How far is too far when dealing with people who give out insults? In "The Cask of Amontillado," by Edgar Allan Poe, Montressor feels that Fortunato
has done just that; he insults him. According to Montressor, this is not the first time that it has happened, and this time he cannot take it anymore.
Instead of verbally expressing his anger and hurt to Fortunato, Montressor decides to take matters into his own hands. The story revolves around the
central theme of betrayal and revenge. Montressor vows to get revenge on Fortunato and to make him understand exactly what he has done. The
reader can infer from the text that Montressor is a very proud man. In the first paragraph, it has already been established that he is out to seek
Fortunato to punish him for insulting him, and he is not taking this job lightly. He says, "I must not only punish but punish with impunity." (Poe).
During this time period, a person's name was their word. People were very proud of where they came from and their lineage. They had a family motto,
and a family crescent. The Montressor's motto is, "Nemo me impune lacessit," which means "No one insults me with... Show more content on

Fortunato is a wine connoisseur, and this is something that sparks his attention. Montressor says, "There were no attendants at home...I had told them
that I should not return until the morning, and had given them explicit orders not to stir from the house" (Poe). By getting rid of his servants, this
ensures that no one will be around to witness what Montressor has planned for Fortunato. Both men head down to the catacombs where the
Amontillado is being held. Catacombs are usually built as a resting place for the deceased. While in the catacombs, Montressor also pulls out a trowel
and shows it to Fortunato. Both of these events foreshadow that someone or something is going to die, and the trowel will be used to bury

Mascots : An Honor Or An Insult?
Mascots: An honor or an insult? The idea of using Native American names and images in sports has been a topic of public controversy in the
United States since the 1960's. Sports mascots that continue to promote racial, cultural, or bias slurs should be changed so that racial discrimination
can be stopped and everyone can be treated equally/fairly. In today's society, there is no room for racism or stereotypes especially in sports; an
activity that is supposed to bring people together to support and celebrate challenges. The use of native names or symbols by native teams is a
harmful form of ethnic stereotyping which is at best prejudicial and perhaps even discriminatory, and should be eliminated. In 2005, then NCAA
President Myles Brand issued a "self–evaluation" to 31 colleges to examine their choice of mascots and the potential of offensive imagery. Nineteen
of the schools either changed their choice of mascot, or eliminated offensive images; it is an insult to Native American people to those schools with
offensive mascots. This research and mainstream support for the elimination of mascots has come after decades of action and protest from Native
American groups such as the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) and the National Coalition Against Racism in Sports and Media. So as a
result, some schools, colleges, and professional teams are retiring their names, images, etc. and sadly, some are not. Most notable, professional sports
teams (i.e Cleveland

and iI was slacking on my school work because I hadve so much to do at home. All I ever did was stay home, watch kids, clean house, and make
dinner. I was the oldest, so I didn't really have a choice but to do all those things because my mother was a druggie. During my teenage years, it got a
little better because my mother she had a job,. sShe was going to gonna graduate soon and her siblings wereas doing pretty good in school, Uuntil
one day she woke up to people knocking on the door. sShe yelled "Hold on i'm coming."
I opened the door and was really confused until they explained everything "The other day your little brother went to his school health room
complaining that his back was sore. The lady lifted up his shirt and saw multiple bruises on his back. sShe had no choice but to call us" I was

The Comedic Value of the Play, Pseudolus
Each of the characters of Pseudolus has comic potential. According to Bergson's theory of laughter, ' The ingredients of comic character are rigidity,
automatism, absentmindedness, and unsociability.' ( 1956:156) All of these are apparent early in the play with the entrance of each of the characters.
Pseudolus is the essence of the clownish buffoon, with his bulging stomach and overly large feet, yet he is also much wittier than Calidorus. The
comic influence is attributed to Pseudolus who can manipulate those around him, as a practiced trickster using his cleverness, nonchalantly
dominating the leaders. He does not use his intelligence and abilities to favor himself, all that he does, he does for the benefit of others, although often
the plans he introduces profit himself at the same time. Calidorus is the pretty rich boy that has no thought other than what he desires next. His only
concern is freeing his love. He is rich, but has no power. Calidorus is pleasant and his moaning adds a lot of comedy to the play, but he is not a
dominant character, never a driving force behind the action. His vanity is the essence of Bergson's mechanized comic character, who is usually comic
in proportion to his ignorance of his own faults. (Bergson 1956:171–173,71) Simo, Callipho, and Ballio each are extremely satirical and are seen as
caricatures of common stereotypes; the wealthy powerful misers, the powerful distasteful pimp. The powerful may be rich, but those that are rich are

The Cask Of Amontillado Freedom Essay
To state that true freedom can only be obtained once one has shed his or her confinements is to reiterate the obvious that one becomes free as soon as
they get rid of whatever is constraining their freedom. Several interpretations can come of this single statement and depending on an individual's state
of mind or prevailing circumstances it is possible for a reader to have more than one interpretation or elucidation of this single statement. Speaking
generally however, the most common and therefore the most vastly construed meaning of the statement is that liberty or sovereignty is attained at the
point where the prisoner or captive is able to overcome that which is detaining him or curtailing his freedom. In other words for one to advance, they
must eliminate anything that stands in their way of progress (Rocks, 1972).
In Edgar Pope's The Cask of Amontillado, there are two main characters that the plot revolves around; Fortunato and Montresor. The statement that
freedom is incidental to eliminating their confinements has been extensively explored; as a matter of fact, the entire plot of the short story is based on
that to the point it might as well have been its title. Fortunato who is a wine merchant is portrayed as a relatively strong and influential fellow
considering his business is lucrative and luxurious in nature (P0e, 2008). He is presented as a fairly reTo state that true freedom can only be obtained

My Day With Brand New Eyes Essay
Usually when you go to the movies it doesn't end with you sitting in a parking lot past midnight listening to your mother tell you the story about how
you almost never existed. That's exactly what happened to me three years ago. After this experience I've seen every day with brand new eyes. The color
blue is deeper, the sound of laughter is sweeter, the stars in the sky are brighter, the world is bigger and every moment I spend alive feels so much
longer. Here's why. This life–altering event started as any typical day does. My mother and my 15 year old self were bored and she decided to treat me
to a movie. I typed "movies" into the google search bar on my phone and the showings popped up onto my screen. We were stuck between two
movies but we ended up deciding on Life of Pi. I'm so glad we did because the movie really moved my mother and me. As we were sitting in the
cold theatre, we were blown away by the film. The story took place in India and the visuals were stunning; a young boy and a Bengal tiger stuck on
a raft in an endless ocean, humpback whales, tycoons, a tropical island and so much more. On top of the visuals, the message was very powerful. The
whole movie was a philosophical story told to an atheist reporter by an Indian man debating whether God was real or not.
Once the movie was over I felt so enlightened and judging by what my mother was about to tell me, so did she. It was dark outside and the parking lot
was mostly empty. We got in the car, clicked on

I stood in front of the door with my heart beating and my head rushing. I opened the door as it made a sound. I was surprised by the way the interior
designs looked. Outside it was just a an old shop but inside it was something else. The tiles were checkered with black and white and the walls were
filled with intricate deigns.
I stood there mesmerised by the overall look of the shop. A voice came from the back door which snapped me from my

This Is What It Means For Say Phoenix, Arizona
Sherman J. Alexie's "This is What It Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona" has multiple interconnecting themes and symbolic ideas throughout his story.
Alexie's story can be simplified as the death of a father changed his son's life. However, it is more complex than that throughout the story. There are
hidden connections all through Alexie's work. One hidden connection is the character Thomas Builds–the–fire. Thomas is Victor's childhood friend,
and is the reservations goofball, storyteller. Thomas plays a much larger role in Victor's life than just a childhood friend. Thomas Builds–The–Fire is
Victor's spirit guide, and knew Victor's life will change as along he visits Phoenix, Arizona to acquire is father's ashes.
Thomas's prophetic stories began in childhood. When Victor and Thomas were children, Thomas tolda story about Victor's father. The story expressed
how Victor's father felt toward his own family. He said, "Your father's heart is weak. He is afraid of is own family. He is afraid of you. Late at
night, he sits in the dark. Watches television until there is nothing but white noise. Sometimes he feels like he wants to buy a motorcycle and ride
away. He wants to run and hide. He doesn't want to be found" (Alexie 181). The story Thomas told was highly important because it was true. Thomas
knew that Victor's father would leave the reservation before anyone else. Furthermore, every story that came out of his mouth, he always closed his
eyes. As if he is connected to something

Analysis Of Do The Right Thing
There are many films in this world that tackle the topic of race. It is an unfortunate truth that leads to many options when choosing a film to show to
the students of Coe College. With a large majority of the students at Coe being white, choosing a film that addresses the themes of racism in the 20th
century is something that can be a sensitive subject. It is the reason that a film that addresses tension among different race on a block in Bed–Sty is the
most appropriate for the audience at Coe College. The film Do The Right Thing, directed by Spike Lee, challenges the characters in the film, along with
the audience viewing the film to form opinions on sensitive subjects and to do the right thing in a difficult situation.Spike Lee uses the film, Do The
Right Thing, to address racial tension in the 20th century through his use of color, camera framing and narrative. One of the most striking scenes
begins in the first forty minutes of the film. The scene starts off with the music becoming slow and haunting, a difference from the high beat music
that was playing before, while a police car slowly drives down the street in the neighborhood of mostly people of color. The camera then cuts to the
three black men who sit on the corner, Sweet Dick Willie, Coconut Sid, and ML. The camera pans across the three faces, all showing critical glares at
the police car. The policeman in the passenger seat is then shown, displaying a similar glare to the black men. The tension can be felt in

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Marie de France's Lanval is a tale about a knight in King Arthur's court who meets a lady who happens to be a fairy. Lanval gains her love and she
provides him with every generosity that he could possible imagine upon the condition that Lanval not tell anyone of her love for him. When Lanval
returns, he is approached by Arthur's queen for an affair which he declines, and as a result the queen is irritated. Lanval becomes defensive and insults
the queen by telling her that his beloved and her servants are "worth" more than her. In his insult to the queen, the existence of his lover is obviously
revealed. For the offense of insulting the queen, Lanval is brought before King Arthur. The confrontation between Lanval and King Arthur brings
attention to the value of status as a measurement of personal worth in the court of King Arthur. Marie de France's wording in line 360 depicts the
King's angry disposition towards the claims that Lanval made: "The
