His pupils were small and prickly. “What you do that for?” Bill repeated. “Oh, come on,” said Jerry “They were playing with us. Making us think they were going to fuck us, and then changed their minds!” Jerry said. He tossed the bloody rock off the cliff, and started to walk, smacking his hands together. Jerry said, “Well, are you coming?” Bill said, “Where are you going?” “Heading back to the car” Said Jerry. “What about them? We’re just going to leave them?” asked Bill. “Sure, those two whores are good for nothing. Unless you like them dead as well” said Jerry. He just kept walking. Bill was still standing by the girls, but when Jerry was out of sight, Bill ran after him. When they came down Jerry picked up one of the girls bike. Bill said, “What are you doing?” “A present for Linda” Jerry said. He smiled. Bill just looked at Jerry They sat in the car. Jerry in the driver’s seat, and Bill in the passenger seat. They didn’t say a word to each other on their way home. Bill looked at Jerry once. Jerry’s eyes were crazy. He was driving very slowly. When they got back home, Jerry parked the car. Suddenly he looked normal to Bill. His eyes had no longer that spark of insanity; they were calm as ever. “What are we going to do?” Bill asked. “About what?” Jerry said, looking at him, and then he walked in shouting...

...”Tell the Women We´re Going…..continuation.” Bill stares at the death girls. He is speechless. Jerry just walks back, towards the car. On the road Bill cannot believe what just had happened. He just sits on the seat next to the killer, with his face buried in the hands. Looks to his left, Jerry´s body is cold as ice, even though it seems like he is shaking, only the eyes of his looking out of the windscreen on the road. He is sweating like a pig, or maybe more. A word has not yet been spoken. It is getting darker outside, Jerry turns on the front light. Not to get a better look on the road, but to stop the dark surrounding him. Tries to light a cigarette, but it is impossible with the trembling of his hands. The car is parked in front of the garage. Jerry was first to enter the door, behind him came Bill, walking like he was going to faint. The kids are in bed. Carol yells at Jerry, “What has happened?…Where are you going?,” but before she gets an answer, the bathroom door slams. Now it is on Bill. “What Bill? What? What has happened?” both of the girls screams. They do not get an answer to their question. Bill still seems like collapsing every moment. Shortly after, Jerry comes out from the bathroom, but not for some talking. He walks straight threw the people sitting watching him, and is out the door. The silence is all over the room, only the sound of an old car was to hear. Left in the silence are the two women, with both of their heads filled with...

...ENVOYS OF THE LACEDAEMONIANS AN ATHENIAN CITIZEN CHORUS OF OLD MEN CHORUS OF WOMEN (SCENE:-At the base of the Orchestra are two buildings, the house of LYSISTRATA and the entrance to the Acropolis; a winding and narrow path leads up to the latter. Between the two buildings is the opening of the Cave of Pan. LYSISTRATA is pacing up and down in front of her house.) LYSISTRATA Ah! if only they had been invited to a Bacchic revelling, or a feast of Pan or Aphrodite or Genetyllis, why! the streets would have been impassable for the thronging tambourines! Now there's never a woman here-ah! except my neighbour Cleonice, whom I see approaching yonder.... Good day, Cleonice. CLEONICE Good day, Lysistrata; but pray, why this dark, forbidding face, my dear? Believe me, you don't look a bit pretty with those black lowering brows. LYSISTRATA Oh, Cleonice, my heart is on fire; I blush for our sex. Men will have it we are tricky and sly.... CLEONICE And they are quite right, upon my word! LYSISTRATA Yet, look you, when the women are summoned to meet for a matter of the greatest importance, they lie in bed instead of coming. CLEONICE Oh! they will come, my dear; but it's not easy, you know, for women to leave the house. One is busy pottering about her husband; another is getting the servant up; a third is putting her child asleep or washing the brat or feeding it. LYSISTRATA But I tell you, the business that calls them here is far and away more urgent. CLEONICE ...

...Today I was going through the attic in my house and I found this old trunk with the name Alexi Iavok painted on the side. When I opened up the trunk I found several pages written by Russian peasant living in St. Petersburg during the Russian Revolution. This man was there to experience the March Revolution, the attacks in Petrograd, and the beginning of War Communism by the Bolsheviks. I was amazed by all of the things he lived through and what he experienced, and how lucky I was to find these. I got them checked out and found out they were authentic and the entries were from the years 1917-1922. I was so astonished by the fact that these letters have been just sitting up in my attic for years. Come to think about it, my Grandfather loved collecting old Russian historic memorabilia. The first series of notes I found described the Bread Riot, and how Alexi’s wife waited in line for flour, and how the women rose up against the government for their demands and needs. I know a little bit about the Bread Riot from my World Societies class but it will be nice to read about it from someone who lived during the event. January 7, 1917 Today is a good day for me, I celebrate my birthday today and my wife Anya wanted to...

...though, I hope you are okay. We have heard about what happened in Turkey and what’s going on there in the war as a whole and it has gotten mum really worried about you. She seems stressed at the moment and I think it has something to do with the conscription debate that’s been happening here… and you of course. However, if this conscription thing gets through Parliament, it could mean that dad might go to war even though he doesn’t want to and because of this, both of them are extremely stressed out. You remember when mum encouraged both of us and dad to go to war, right? Then dad and I refused but you went on ahead? Well, after she heard what was happening to the soldiers she completely burst into tears. She realised what she did and so now every night she prays for you to come back home safely. Anyway, apparently the war is having a great effect on Australia’s economy. Yet we are on rations at home because all the food is being sent to the soldiers so I don’t see how we are wealthier if a middle class family is struggling to...

... politicians. The fact that this happens mostly to women, it makes is very discriminating. Anita Sarkeesian posted her speech on the website ‘’ Feminist Frequency’’ in December 2012. She launched a campaign where the object was to look at how women outstand in the world of video gaming. A bunch of male gamers weren’t too exited about this. They took it further and created an online hate campaign against Anita Sarkeesian. The issue of online harassment of women is pretty big. In an other article, ‘’Online harassment of women is a problem. Here’s what to do about it’’1, written by Timothy B. Lee, he writes about a woman who has experienced online harassment. A woman named Amanda Hess has got a lot of tweets from angry men. ‘’(…) Someone going by the name ‘headlessfemalepig’ had sent me seven tweets…. ‘’Happy to say we live in the same state. I’m...

In this line, Tupac is referring to how he has really no place to go and everything around him is going down. Then he also mentions how they would love to see him fall that refers to many people the police the government and his enemies. Tupac states, “The years were two of the most turbulent in a tragically brief life that was already scarred by poverty, drug abuse, police harassment, imprisonment, and death.” Tupac directly mentions his issues he faced during his two years of his life in...

...wrote this play during a time of controversial feminist issues. Glaspell wrote "Trifles" to demonstrate the male assumption that women were insignificant members in a male dominated society. Because the men underestimate them, the women are able to prove they are not insignificant. The play opens at the Wright farmhouse where Mr. Wright has been murdered in his sleep. They entered in the house: county attorney, the sheriff, Mrs. Hale, and Mrs. Peters. The men and women have come to investigate the case against Minnie Foster, the wife of Mr. Wright. Most of the stuffs which the male characters supposed to be insignificant objects like the broken bird cage door, the quilt, the dead canary, and the entire kitchen consequentially lead to the solution (Trifles 219). The improper assumptions by men toward women can have dire consequences, as demonstrated in Glaspell's world. Combating these narcissistic assumptions displayed by men can result in a unity among women that can overcome any male caused disrespect and oppression. The title of this drama "Trifles" demonstrates how men had the assumption that woman and their respective actions are seemingly unimportant. The women in this story overcome the men by uniting together against male oppression. Through the story "Trifles" Glaspell is able to bring awareness to the unfortunate conditions women faced, and the sexual inequality they encountered...

...Containing The Lady Dragon From Within: Things Men Should Never Tell A Woman Women can often over react. We complex creatures are known for being feisty, impulsive, and emotional. You can say something you consider harmless, or even kind, only to discover that you have offended, infuriated or annoyed us. The problem that men all have is the feelings of attraction they have toward women—a very complicated group of people, that are not going anywhere. Men need to understand that certain comments and remarks should never be spoken to a woman. Doing so, will result in the bleeding of our ears and explosive behavior. In order to counter act these results, removing these words from your vocabulary would be significantly wise. This would definitely be useful by taking whatever means possible to keep these words from entering your mouth for the sake of containing the she-beast inside every woman as she rips off your head, and watches as you weep in terror. As a fair warning, some of these absolute no-no words and phrases may seem incredibly harmless. You may think that we are kidding, but sadly we are not. These are six things that you should never, ever say to a woman. “ Have you lost/put on some weight?” When in doubt, shut your mouth. These words could do a world of damage and you would never know. Never discuss a woman’s weight, whether it be a positive way or a negative. Whether you are trying to give a compliment, it can always backfire and blow up in your face as they ask...

...why a rapist becomes a rapist? What goes through their minds’ to make them want to harm children or other people? What kind of help can they get and can they ever be cured? People who become sexual molesters’, predators’’, and rapists’ usually have gone through some type of sexual abuse and/or have been raped as a child. From childhood to adulthood we will see how the abuse that one has went through during childhood and may/can affect them as through adulthood, causing them to become a sexual molester and rapist themselves. Molesting one’s own child/children and family members is called intra-famial. They normally don’t go outside the family because they think that they can persuade the child/children not to report them to the police. Pedophilia is the sexual attraction to children and they desire children, they usually work very close with kids like at the YMCA, schools, and church. Pedophiles’ normally don’t have children or families. They are sexually violent offenders are the perpetrators who are most violent. My hypothesis is the children who are molested or raped grow up to become molesters and rapists who keep the cycle going, rather than getting help. Children are the main victims in today’s society to molestation and rape, one reason being is that they are the easiest prey to prey on. Molestation and rape can happen anywhere and by anyone like schools, church, vacation, by the baby sitter, their fathers, uncles, cousins, grandparents, complete strangers, someone who they...
