    That's what makes it so hard – for all of us. We can't forget.has hidden deeper within herself and found refuge and release in a dream where present reality is but an appearance to be accepted and dismissed unfeelingly – even with a hard cynicism – or entirely ignored. There is at times an uncanny gay, free youthfulness in her manner, as if in spirit she were released to become again, simply and without self-consciousness, the naïve, happy, chattering schoolgirl of her convent days.…

    If you’re looking for a good, quick memoir to read during the winter months and need to brush up on your commas and dashes, I highly recommend Mary Norris’s Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen. The book begins as a memoir, Norris explaining her journey from Ohio to Vermont to New York, along the way learning to drive a milk truck, package cheese, and eventually proof pieces for the New Yorker. It’s a good book on a number of levels, the first being that Norris puts grammar in layman’s terms and understands the mistakes those of us who aren’t copy-editors often make. The next is that she is a likable narrator.…

    The Transcendentalists of the 1850s believed in individualism, equality, and optimism for the future, creating a time period where literature and arts prospered. With a Utopian society in mind, the reform of education, women’s rights, and slavery was put into motion. Over 150 years ago, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau wrote individual pieces displaying key transcendental beliefs. As with many works at the time, these papers still hold relevance in the 21st century and can be applied to modern citizens, such as Elizabeth Gilbert. As a novelist and memoirist, Gilbert tells the tale of her self-discovery in three parts in Eat, Pray, Love that each display a transcendental belief. Gilbert exhibits the quote, “My life is for itself and not a…

    It seems that Mary's nickname of "Mary Runs Away" fits, because on page 89, not 8 short chapters after we are introduced to her, she gets married and actually runs away. This leads to a question that everyone is asking. "Did Sherman Alexie name Arnold's sister Mary because she gets married?" Nobody can say, but we can still ask ourselves that question over and over again. Junior is told by Mr. P. that Mary used to love reading and writing romance novels. After she moves, Junior says,"And then I realized that my sister was trying to LIVE a romance novel. Man, that takes courage and imagination" Junior realizes that Mary is living her dream. On page 91, Junior's cartoon of Mary says, "You think YOU'RE so tough, Junior?!" It seems Junior thinks…

    Reflection: “Mary Had a Little Ham”/ “The Snow Queen” “Mary Had a Little Ham” is the story of a barnyard pig that wants to be a Broadway star and eventually brings his dream to realization, thanks to a little girl at the barn named Mary who believes in him. He sings a lot about how he wants to leave his home, and “get out of the slop.” His two pig siblings doubt him and mock him until he is successful, then they suddenly love him.

    The Digby Mary Magdalene

    The word “ayens” appears nineteen times within The Digby Mary Magdalene and has two specific connotations that correspond to ambiguities between God and authority within the play itself. Now in order to understand how this word resonates within the play it is crucial to explore one of its most frequent connotations, “in opposition to right (the law)” (MED). The earliest transcription of the Middle English word is within MS Laud 636, where it displays an opposition to authority/law by means of an opposition “agenes” the king for some sort of transgression: “on this kinges time […] agenes him rise sona tha ricemen […] hi the eorl heold Lincol agaenes the kingy (Fol. 089r, 090v c1135-40).

    Towards the end of Problema I, Kierkegaard discusses the Virgin Mary to compare the greatness of Abraham to that of Mary, and to further emphasize the distinction between tragic hero and knight of faith. He writes, “for she was no heroine and he no hero, but both of them became greater than that, not by any means by being relieved of the distress, the agony, and the paradox, but because of these (Kierkegaard 94).” Mary, like Abraham, is tested by God through her virgin birth. The indignity put upon Mary resembles Abraham’s ethical dilemma, and yet through the paradox of faith and infinite resignation, she becomes the mother of God, as Isaac is returned to Abraham. The same “strength of the absurd,” a virgin birth in Mary’s case, grants Abraham the strength…

    The Adam Elliot’s claymation Mary and Max opens with credits on a black screen with sad contemplative orchestral music. Then the screen if filled with darkness, followed by climbing upbeat hopeful music illuminating a sepia coloured ordinary Australian suburban landscape. Many typical Australian domestic icons portray this: like the Australian rules Sherin branded Football on the roof, the thongs protruding from a rubbish bin on Lamington street and a barbeque on a back lawn. The letterboxes are also reminiscent of Australian symbols like the Ned Kelly and koala that are featured on the letterboxes. There are also symbols representing suburbia like the “y” front underwear on the line and water sprinkler. These symbols and objects convey a typical ordinary Australian story.…

    Life entails many obstacles, journeys, and in the end death. How we live our lives determines our legacy. So what makes us different from anything else? We consist of the basic elements on Earth. We share common elements with plants and even the stardust that makes up the universe. Our bodies need essential minerals like salt to sustain life and maintain homeostasis. Without these delicate balances death becomes imminent. Salt along with other minerals produce and perpetuate all the electrical impulses in our bodies. These impulses control our thoughts, dreams, and provide movement. Without these impulses we could not live. In “The Girl in the Flammable Skirt”, Aimee Bender utilizes “salt” to develop a state of placid, encumbrance, and guilt that accompany life. The author opens the story with a young girl struggling to carry her father’s burden. A book bag made of stone that she cannot set down. Bender…
