    At first glance, one may agree that Marie Umutesi’s autobiography is a truthful testimony about the historical event known as the Rwandan Genocide and its aftermath, but further analysis proves that the terms “truthful” and “testimony” cannot accurately describe Surviving the Slaughter. Using Jacques Derrida’s Demeure and Umutesi’s Surviving the Slaughter, one is able to analyze the meanings of these terms to reveal that, in the context of Umutesi’s writing, they are not completely valid, and the autobiography can instead be described as a genuine attempt to share her memory of her experiences.…

    In this chapter of Blink, the writer discusses the art of thin-slicing which is being able to make a quick decision or judgement about someone or something with few but relevant details. I found the better example to helping me better understand the method of thin-slicing was the bedroom example. In my home, there are four bedrooms. With the method of thin-slicing, I understand that anybody would be able to figure my family’s individual personalities with the five prompt questions that psychologist, Samuel Gosling has put together. I also believe that even without the questions, someone curious enough can go into any bedroom and be able to figure out what type of personality the owner of the room has.…

    As an adolescent text, Cut, will appeal to young readers in that the character, the plot, the setting and the theme are believable, easy to understand and follow and most importantly, easy for the reader to relate to. This story has a young narrator/protagonist who guides us along the plot line through her thoughts and actions. We see 15 year old Callie, the main character, develop and grow as she learns to stop trying to be the adult and just be a kid. The settings and situations generate a genuine interest in the reader and are such that an adolescent can easily grasp the well defined theme. The descriptive detail easily puts a young reader in the scene like Callie’s description of the couch as a “…big bumpy overstuffed thing and when I sit back my feet don’t touch the floor.”(116).…

    I would recommend this book to another person for many reasons.First the narrator tell her story not as a sad story or in way the reader should feel sorry for her but rather as a story of what she experienced going through depression and overcoming it, making the story come out as a inspiration. The emotions is raw and it mirrors what a depressed person would feel. Her mother think that depression is a choice and it…

    Yet this comes to how just how cruel life can be. After finishing this book, I couldn’t stop thinking about it for days. I’m not going to spoil anything, but the dramatic turn of events is empowering. Anyone, upperclassman in high school and older, who has been through traumatic experiences with rape, self harm, or drug overdose should read this book because they could compare their experiences to what the character have gone through. Yet at the same time, it’s crucial to ban it for younger adolescents because I don’t believe they would be mature enough to handle this type of…

    A façade on my face that hid a dark, a pain and nightmares filled, black hole that was killing me in the inside, one day just cracked and the demons of self harming and suicide broke loose in my room. I grabbed a sharp object, went to the end of my bed, slashed my flesh, believing the drained red blood released from my body and dropped was the trauma that came from constant family issues and school bullying. I was a vulnerable mouse trying to run away from the pernicious black cat who had me by the tail. I wished the cats had stop taunting me and just ate me, so I wouldn’t had to suffer the burden of them playing around with me. “To be or not to be,” contemplating suicide was both the weakest and strongest part of my life; by choosing “to be,” I know I chose the right path and learned that without dark, there is no light, without pain there is no happiness, and without nightmares there are no dreams; dreams that I wish to pursue and accomplish.…

    Hurt Existential Crisis

    When one is listening to a dreary song, the singer words may become lost in the tone of which the song is expressed and the meaning behind the context is neglected. The song “Hurt”, by Nine Inch Nails, is one that has an existential undertone which allows the song to showcase it morose nature and its emotional importance to the narrator. “Hurt” does not simply contain the common ideas of existentialism but rather demonstrates an existential crisis of which the narrator experiences. An existential crisis occurs when an individual is struggling to identify who he is and what is the reason for his presence in life. Evidence in “Hurt” of an existential crisis is that the narrator shows expression of his current loneliness and of how he believes his relationships with people are not long-lasting. Another characteristic of an existential crisis included into the song is that the narrator is questioning his individuality and what he has currently become due to his previous choices. An additional symptom of his existential crisis is his feeling of unfulfillment with himself which leads him to wish he could create a new beginning for himself as well as a new identity. Through these aspects being incorporated we can diagnose the character as someone who is facing an existential crisis.…

    In my story, “New Beginnings”, it talks about how Lily, in this case Carrie had a hard life. First of all her dear mother died, she did not have a fatherly figure, and she was bullied in school. Not many people had a true love for her so she ran away. Her father did not pay much attention in how much love he showed her. “I’d been kneeling on grits since I was six, but still I never got used to that powdered-glass feeling beneath my skin. I walked toward the them with those tiny feather steps you expect of a girl in Japan, and lowered myself to the floor, determined not to cry, but the sting was already gathering in my eyes. T. Ray sat in a chair and cleaned his nails with a pocketknife. I swayed from knee to knee, hoping for a second or two of relief, but the pain cut deep into my skin.” (Kidd 24) His ignorance made her felt as if she was not appreciated.…
