    If I told you that a blob of ink can determine your personality, would you believe me? According to “What’s in an inkblot? Some Say, Not Much” by Erica Goode, the Rorschach inkblot test is a psychological test that asks the reader to interpret what they see in order to determine a person's personality or tendencies. The people who agree and disagree with the use of the Rorschach test are similar in that they both use evidence to support their claims, but the people who agree with it use a great deal of scientific support while the people who disagree with its uses, claim it’s not useful and it’s scientifically useless. Others will prove or disprove the use of the Rorschach test and its validity.…

    Delirium is a dystopian novel about Lena Haloway a 17 year old girl, who falls in love in a society where love is seen as a disease.

    Innocence, By Bonnie Cohen

    Bonnie Cohen does a magnificent job in directing this heart-wrenching film on rape and sexual harassment. The consequences set for hubris sexual predators are less than ideal for the victims in “Audrie and Daisy”.

    How Does the Title a Doll’s House Demonstrate an Allegory for Women’s Role at That Time?

    The door of A Doll’s House is closed at last. This is a symbol for the end of the way society thinks about women back in the Victorian era around the 19th century. At the time Henrik Ibsen wrote the play A Doll’s House in Norway, it was normal for society to look down upon such women that would leave their children and husbands behind. Men had a higher status than women at that time. The title “Doll’s House” ties well with the play because it illustrates how in the past, society treated women as dolls. The title of the play demonstrates an allegory for women’s roles because it shows how Nora is treated like a doll by her father and husband; she is even treated like a doll in society. Women such as Christine Linde and Nora, during this era, have lifeless lives.…
