    Drone Home Lev Grossman Analysis

    In order to emphasize Harrington’s point Lev Grossman pours more light on criminal activities possible through drones. In addition to the information provided by the previous source, Grossman points out the positive and negative use of drones. For instance in the article “Drone Home,” Lev Grossman makes these comparisons through real life examples. He states that “Drones will carry pizzas across towns and drugs across borders. They’ll spot criminals on the run and naked celebrities in their homes” (Grossman 33). These comparisons provided by the author prove that drones can be both helpful and harmful. While these devices have the potential to help catch criminals they also have the power to do illegal acts that can cause an increase in crime rate.…

    Friendly Skies By T. Coraghessan Boyle Summary

    T. Coraghessan Boyle's short story, "Friendly Skies," is about a woman named Ellen who is trying to get to New York to visit her mom, but keeps getting delayed. The engine on her first plane catches on fire, and they are forced to turn around for an emergency landing. Once back at LAX, where she had started from, she is only able to get a non-direct flight that stops off in Chicago. While on this flight, Ellen keeps thinking of grim details of her past, and she takes prescription medicine with alcohol to try and numb her pain. Eventually, a man named Mr. Lercher goes crazy on the plane and threatens to kill everyone. With her built up frustration, Ellen picks up a fork and stabs the man repeatedly, which helps in restraining him long enough to land in Denver.

Aldiss tries to say that one should reflect on the good things in life instead of just the bad and to make the best of life.…

    Ride Twenty One Pilotss Analysis

    based meaning. The lyrics describe how we would rather "remain in the sun," or be constantly happy and confident, rather than facing hardships and road blocks in life. The title of the song is a metaphor for describing life, and life is like a ride, or a journey. Since the lyrics explain how life is like a ride, "remaining in the sun" would represent the positive moments in life, and not wanting to leave means that we all want to stay in the fun and happy parts of life. A majority of the lyrics are made up by the chorus, which are, "Oh, oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride," and "falling" means that we are experiencing different situations and breaking apart from previous ones. When the artist says that he is taking his time on his ride, he is saying that we should try to experience every second, and "take time" to realize that there is importance in every moment of our lives, which is why I can connect to this song. However, a portion of the lyrics say, "I've been thinking too much,…
