The city lights stand out like a busy constellation of streets and houses‚ while satellite cars weave their way around the inverted sky. It’s impossible to make sense of‚ except for the main strip which is a single mound of coloured‚ noisy light. I like that the lights don’t seem to get dimmer as they get farther away. They only get smaller and smaller until they slip behind the bends of the maze-like valley. There is a hill to the North of here that looms over the twinkle of the valley

Of American novels that engage with the topic of mental disability‚ few are more popular than Daniel Keyes’s Flowers for Algernon. Such popularity seems based on a simplistic reading of the novel where the mentally disabled are objects of good-natured compassion.

Readers are first taught to pity the pre-operative Charlie‚ but once they come to

For my topic my contemporary rhetoric research paper on the song “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera. I chose to write about this song because this is a classic pop song that everyone knows that we can still relate to‚ or for others around us. I’ve noticed that everyone is so quick to jump in love and no one love their self-first. As I listened to this song‚ I was able to find many examples of pathos. The audience that I would like to connect to is our generation that is suffering from everyday struggles

The topic that I chose to do my comparison essay is how the article “The Fun They Had” and the movie “The Beautiful mind” view school. What is school? School is an institution where students are educated and gain knowledge to succeed in future. Both the article and the movie view school negatively.

School effects by dulling the minds of the students

g Beautiful Tragic Love I never asked my life to be a FAIRY TALE or PERFECT‚ all I wanted was a normal life‚ and I didn’t have a very happy childhood living with my parents as an only child.

I have listened to ’Beautiful Day’ by U2 a number of times and each time the message Bono‚ the writer and lead vocalist‚ is sending out becomes clearer and clearer. The message behind this song is the environment and how it has changed as a result of how people have treated it. He is trying to make people see that something needs to be done about the environment before it deteriorates. The first time I listened to ’Beautiful Day’‚ I highlighted key words and phrases which I thought were significant
