Prudence Halloway: A Short Story
“Airlines Flight 637F traveling to New York is ready for takeoff! Please fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride,” the captain says. “What time is it?” says passenger, Lucy Kelson. “It’s 4:45 Ma’am.” Says passenger, Jane Smith. “It better be a quick flight, my headache medicine is wearing off and I am not in the mood for pain.” Jane Smith was the personal assistant of Prudence Halloway, a relapsed drug addict. Jane and Prudence shared a row of seats with Xander Cage, who they conversed with and found he was an Extreme sports motorcyclist.

    Mary Ann Hall's House Summary

    The Donna J. Seifert and Joseph Balicki’s article, Mary Ann Hall's House, discusses about the archaeological investigations conducted at two vacant lots located at a proposed building site for the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C. In the archaeological investigations, the archaeologists discovered material remains associated with a mid-nineteenth brothel called Mary Ann Hall’s (Seifert and Balicki 2005:59).

    Lois Simmie: The Purpose Of John Wilson's Autobiography

    The purpose of Sgt. John Wilson is to provide information to the reader in the sense of an autobiography. Lois Simmie accomplishes Excellency in foreshadowing the event in the prologue. But not completely throwing it away until much further in the book. If this were a novel, the sequence of events would change completely, but it’s not, this is an autobiography, the order of events do not have to be precise to be followed 100% all the way through. Portrayal of Canadian history is a big deal here. This is not something to tread lightly on. Also the purpose of the autobiography is to showcase this insane psychopathic male actions that take place in mainly Saskatchewan but also Scotland and British Columbia. Nevertheless another huge purpose of the author is to satisfy the reader (viewer’s) brain thirst. Lois manages a remarkable undertaking with changing the old language into a modern work of art.…

    Mary Pleasant, a Biography

    Mary Pleasant, also widely referred to as “Mammy Pleasant”, is the considered Mother of Civil Rights in California due to her work with the Civil Rights movement during the 1860s. She was an icon during the Gold Rush and Gilded Age San Francisco because of her political power, mainly due to her large fortune and as well as her influence, in the cause and in her fellow citizens. Her achievements as an abolitionist went unmatched until the late 1960s, during which other laws regarding slavery were passed; although her achievements were surpassed, it was her work that helped set off the chain reaction of events that led to the greater triumphs of the Civil Rights movement. Following the Civil War, Pleasant brought her battles to the courts in the 1860s, and claimed a handful of human rights victories. One of those victories, Pleasant vs. North Beach & Mission Railroad Company, was heavily cited and advocated in the 1980s, which is the main reason behind why Pleasant is known today as “The Mother of Human Rights in California”. Pleasant was a woman of half African descent. She helped shape early San Francisco and furthered the Civil Rights movements. Her ability to “love across boundaries of race and class without losing sight of her goal –the equality for herself and her people” is what makes Pleasant the person that she was, and is what makes of her what people see her for today, as The Mother of Human Rights in California.

    Dear Miss Breed: The Diary Of A Young Girl

    How does a positive attitude help avoid conflict? According to Remez Sasson,”It brings optimism into your life, and makes it easier to avoid worries and negative thinking… you see the bright side of life” (Sasson). This shows that seeing the bright side of life will make all worries and negativity dissipate during tough challenges. During World War 2, many people used the method of positivity to endure the misery. From Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank tries to stay positive while in hiding. It was exceedingly challenging getting around without getting captured by the Nazi. Another novel is Dear Miss Breed: True Stories of the Incarceration During World War ll and a Librarian Who Made a Difference from Joanne Oppenheim. One of the many letters is from Louise Ogawa, and she, like all the other Japanese, had to go to an internment camp. To distance herself from the hardships, she tried to stay positive and think of the positive. Having a positive attitude is the best way to respond to conflict, especially during horrendous situations like World War 2.…

Words begin to float off the paper as I anxiously await my next meeting. 58 seconds… 59 seconds… 8:45 p.m. Tapping my pen on the desk, earns a nasty look from the old lady in the next nook, but I continue defying, shaping a rhythm in my head. 16 seconds…17 seconds…18 seconds. Workers around the room get up creating a commotion. What’s going on? I stand, make my way to the window, and see that there’s a plane right outside; people begin to scream. Looking closer, a terrifying realization hits me, it’s too low, it’ll hit the building. The sound of people running teases my ears. 30 seconds…31…

I go into the only empty girls bathroom and upon entering I hear a pipe rattle. A geyser of water shoots into the sky causing me to cover my books to shield them from the sewer rain. There is a loud moan as Myrtle comes flying through the air and stopping at my face. "Well, what do we have here, come to poke fun at poor Myrtle." "No, I would never do that to you," I replied. "Well, then what do you want?" she asked. "I want to interview you for one of my classes." Myrtle howled and flew through the air making the sinks turn on and overflow onto the floor, and just as fast as she caused it, it stopped. "Fine then, if you really…

    Funhouse Mirrors: Jane Eyre and Bertha Mason

    Funhouse Mirrors: Jane Eyre and Bertha Mason

    “Jane Eyre” is a book centred around female duality. In a time when females were still expected to fulfill their “womanly duties,” Charlotte Bronte wrote a novel dealing with a woman’s view on morality & sexuality, passion & sensibility, and conformity & insanity, among other themes. This motif of duality plays a strong part in the dynamism that makes up the book, and is not limited to the themes, but is also used to relate many of the characters to the titular Jane. In “The Mystery at Thornfield,” Valerie Beattie makes claims that the character Bertha Mason’s insanity is a representation of rebellion toward the limitations of Victorian women. Not only is Bertha a symbol of the Victorian woman, but also a reflection of Jane herself. Thus, this shows that not only is Bertha a personification of women in the patriarchal society of the Victorian period, but so too, is Jane. As a child, Jane shares many characteristics with Bertha, but when she comes of age she begins to conform in order to thrive in a male dominated society. Bertha, on the other hand, is incapable of such reason and lashes out at the limits that bind her. Through the contrasts and similarities of Bertha Mason and Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte conveys a view on the position, and potential, of Victorian women.…

    The summer I spent with her was beautiful, every day was precious. We always spent time nestled up on the couch; it was something special and it was better than any beach trip or pool party that everyone was participating in. The summer of love may have been in 1967, but with her it was in 2016. She had a touch that was as warm as hot chocolate and her skin was as smooth as silk her hair was as wavy as the earths many rivers. Her eyes were beautiful and a lovely dark brown. I was in the presence of a Goddess, and her name was Meagan Wilder. She was 5’7 and the best thing I had ever seen walking in a sundress and sandals.…
