...Powerful groups are like parasites that feed off of helpless individuals. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, it shows the journey of a 15 year old boy in the Holocaust. On the other hand, Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, shows the experience of a teenage girl in the Japanese Internment Camps. Elie and Jeanne both are similar in the fact that they both had their rights violated by a powerful group, but they are different in the way that Jeanne found herself in the camp and Elie lost his faith in humanity because nobody helped him throughout most of his struggles. Elie and Jeanne both had their rights violated by a powerful group, but Elie lost a part of him in the camp whereas Jeanne found herself in her camp. “From the depths...

It is my pleasure to introduce you to the man who has been described as a “lost prophet” of the civil rights movement. On Sunday, November 15, at 2:00pm, my mom and I went to see the last showing of a wonderful play called, “Blueprints to Freedom: An Ode to Bayard Rustin.” The play was focused around the man who planned the Civil Rights March on Washington and who was a civil rights leader. His name was Bayard Rustin and the reason that he has almost...

... Emotions and reactions that cannot be erased and are burned into the memory in one’s mind can have detrimental effects as well as saving someone’s sanity. A simple song or sunset can trigger a person into a rage or to completely withdrawal from society. Post-traumatic stress disorder can break up families that have had the strongest bond and foundation. Post-traumatic stress disorder can affect any age of person ranging from the youngest victims of 9-11 or Hurricane Katrina to soldiers coming home from war. The case of Paul is a heart-wrenching story of a little boy whose world was turned upside-down within the matter of minutes. September 11, 2001 will forever be etched in his mind even if he never speaks on the memory again. In the 3,000 people the United States lost that tragic day, two of those people were Paul’s parents. Before September 11th, Paul’s family had just been another normal family by society’s description. His mother worked in the south tower, which fell first and his father was an assistant chief for the New York City Fire Department (Meyer, Chapman, & Weaver, 2009). Paul was five and his brother, Tom, was in second grade. Three out of five days Paul would go to kindergarten at his school in lower Manhattan, just a block away from the Twin Towers (Meyer, Chapman, & Weaver, 2009). The other two days Paul would go to his grandparent’s house instead. Paul had a normal upbringing. His parents were happily married for a decade and had upstanding...

...Repentance: How to Figure It This week is mid-terms week at Creighton University and everyone is scrambling between classes to get that last hour of studying in before the test or trying to put the finishing touches on their papers before the deadline. As I’m walking down the mall, I notice my friend Rae. “Hey Rae!” I yelled. “Hey girl. How are midterms going for you?” she asked. “Oh, they’re treating me well now since I just finished my last one. How about you?” I replied. Rae’s facial expression reeked of uncertainty. I could tell she was worried about her midterm. “I take it you’re not too excited about this one huh?” She looked down with glazed over eyes and replied, “Na, I have an Art midterm due Friday and I have yet to start. I guess I don’t know where or how to begin.” Assuming she’s talking about a paper I confidently replied, “Writing a paper can be tricky. It’s always the introduction that seems to be the hardest. What I do is start with the body; when I feel more comfortable, I go back to the intro and it usually comes easier.” She looked at me with the same facial expression and said, “It’s not a paper. This happens to be my Art final and although painting is piece of cake, I can’t just paint anything. Professor James wants us to paint an illustration of an abstract idea. That abstract idea happens to be “repentance”. I have no idea what that means so how do you expect me to illustrate that in a painting?” It was quite obvious that Rae was very frustrated...

...Addiction, My Recovery "It can never happen to me" I thought, as I watched my father drink himself into oblivion and smoke his drugs, from sunrise, to sunset, and sometimes, for days, even weeks with no break in between. When he left, I remember feeling relieved, even at the early age of two. He was in and out of my life, just as often as he was in and out of rehabiliation centers for the chemically addicted. I didn't mind, I didn't have to watch him slowly kill himself, and hurt my mother, brother and I in the process. I never wanted to be like either one of my parents, both addicts with two different choices of poisons, I told myself every single day that would never be me. Me risk losing it all, my family, my friends, my health, everything in the world that means anything to me at all? "Never" is what I told myself, every time I thought of my father, or looked at my mother. That wasn't what I wanted for my life, I wanted a good life, full of happiness and ambition, surrounded by those I love, and I would never settle for less. My parent's and their lifestyle were things I looked to for motivation to stay focused, and on the right track. Boy, did that ever backfire! My brother and I are three years apart in age, he is older, but not by much when it comes to mentality. One night, after a long night of work, I was 15 and already had dropped out of school, I walked into my brothers room and found him at his computer desk doing drugs. The same...

...Land of the Lost Stewart O’Nan Everybody has tried to be lost, either in a physical place or in their own life and mind. This theme is the short story ‘’ Land of the Lost’’ about. Here experiences the reader the development of a woman, who gets more and more obsessed with a case about a missing girl. The short story never explains to the reader, if the woman finds the girl, and why she is so obsessed, which I will try to find out. I will analyse the main character, her obsession, the title and therefor will I analyse the ending of the story with the information, I discover. The events of the short story are being told as a 3rd limited person narrator, because we only see the events from the main character’s point of view, and how she feels. We see everything through her eyes. The short story is written chronologically and has no flashbacks or flash-forwards. So the reader doesn’t know, how the life of the main character has been in the past, except that she has two boys and is divorced. This makes the short story very mysterious, because the reader doesn’t see her thoughts very often and only see it from her perspective. Therefor the author holds some information back e.g. he doesn’t tell us, if she really finds the body, and why she is so obsessed, which I will try to find out. I can therefor conclude that the short story is written in 3rd limited person, chronologically and the author is holding back some information. The author never tells the reader, what the main...

...At the end of the 19th century the lost generation found themselves stuck in an era full of self-determination and socialization. The lost generation was an “organizing concept for people dislocated by both modernization and modernity” and it was found in the interwar periods (Ward). People found themselves losing their character and meaning in life, until the idea that sparked their minds that would be the turn of the century and others would then follow, validated in the quote, “Life thus improved becomes a living model for others to imitate” (Monk 19). Craig Monk demonstrated how individuals in the lost generation began to alter their morals, thus triggering the changes soon to come in the 1920’s. The idea of living life to the fullest without turning back was the key ideal during the turn of the century for many. The lost generation sparked individuals around the nation to live their life differently, due to the fact that time was not guaranteed and neither was...

...to establish one of the first colonies in the New World. The colony was established on Roanoke Island, off the coast of North Carolina. Today, the Roanoke Colony is often referred to as the “Lost Colony,” due to the mysterious disappearance of the colony’s residents. Centuries later, historians are still perplexed by this infamous settlement. Although there is no definite explanation of what became of the Roanoke Colony, the most accepted and likely theory is that the colonists integrated into the local Native American tribes. In 1584, Queen Elizabeth I granted Sir Walter Raleigh a charter to explore and eventually establish a colony in North America. The first expedition involved establishing relationships with the Croatoan Native Americans on Roanoke Island. The second expedition was led by Sir Richard Grenville; the goal was to formally set up a permanent colony. However, due to violent encounters with Indian...

...Abraham Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address” has a strong and lasting influence on all those in attendance, including the friends and families of those who perished in the onslaught that occurred at Gettysburg. Lincoln memorialized those who lost their lives in the battle, while instilling a passion in the hearts of the remaining soldiers. Lincoln used pathos, repetition, and balanced phrasing to help him achieve his purpose. Many examples of emotional appeal can be found in the lines of the “Gettysburg Address.” Lincoln opens his speech by mentioning the ideals upon which this country was created. This reminded the audience of the freedom received with the writing of the “Declaration of Independence” and of victory over a conflicting power. Lincoln states “The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.” This statement immortalizes the sacrifices that the fallen soldiers made and reminds the audience their loved ones died for a cause and their sacrifices will never be forgotten. Lincoln uses repetition throughout his speech for effect. Lincoln states that “we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground.” Even though the words that he uses are synonymous, the repetition allows Lincoln to strengthen his point, that the sacrifice these men made vastly outweighs mere words alone. In the final sentence, Lincoln proclaims “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government...
