...Cheesy Chicken “Benchiladas” 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 8 oz. reduced fat sour cream 8 oz. Ranch salad dressing flour tortillas (10-15) – we like Azteca, packs of 10 jar of salsa shredded Mexican cheese (I usually use close to 4 cups, I love cheese!) Directions: Cook chicken breasts by preferred cooking method until cooked through. Set aside to cool a bit. While chicken is cooling, mix up the sauce. In a large mixing bowl, combine half of the sour cream and half of the Ranch dressing. In a small bowl, combine the rest of the sour cream and Ranch dressing. Stir both until well combined. Shred or chop the cooked chicken and add to the large mixing bowl. Mix well with sauce. Preheat the oven to 375°. Grease a 9 x 13″ pan (and possibly another, smaller pan if needed). Take one tortilla and top with a little less than 1 tbsp. of the sauce from the small bowl. Spread over the tortilla in an even layer. Add some of the chicken mixture to the center of the tortilla. Top with salsa to taste. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, to taste. Roll up tortilla and place, seam side down, in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining ingredients (usually makes 10-15 enchiladas). Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes (30 for a crispier tortilla). Allow to cool a few minutes before serving.

...Analysis of the text “To Sir, with love” By Eustace Braithwaite The text I’m going to comment on is entitled “To Sir, with love”, written by Eustace Braithwaite, a Guyanese novelist, writer, teacher and diplomat, best known for his stories of social conditions and racial discrimination. The passage under study is an excerpt from hid well-known novel “To Sir, with love”, that is an excellent autobiographical work, as it is based on his personal experience of teaching at a school in London’s East End. First, I would like to speak about the title of the text, because very often it can give you a hint about the content of the text. In this very case the first thought that came to my mind was that in the text may be a sir that receives a letter from somebody who loves him. After the first lecture of the text, I realized I wasn’t quite right, just partially right. Speaking about the structure of the title, I can say that it is expressed in a syntagm consisting of elements from human reality (sir) and from the spiritual one (love). The title has an expressive function, for it is realized by means of intention and emotionality. Also, it has a positive emotional status. The text tells the story of a teacher who came in a school in which every Friday morning the pupils were writing a Weekly Review – the headmaster’s pet scheme. The children were free to comment and criticize anything, as long as it was somehow linked with the school. The headmaster found advantages in that...

...So many dead, so many blacked bodies lay among the burning rubble that it caused trained firefighters to vomit and quit their jobs on the spot. Such was the scene of the once great Binewski Family Carnival Fabulon, at the climax of Geek Love, a novel by Katherine Dunn. Al and Lil Binewski taught their children, which they used for their traveling freak show that the thoughts and opinions of women mattered very little. The Binewski family went out in a blaze of glory, but their tragic end could have been avoided had the men and women within the family been treated equally. The oppression of women throughout Geek Love, by Katherine Dunn leads to the destruction of the Binewski family, their beloved Fabulon, and countless other lives. As the...

...Analysis of Bacon’s essay ‘OF LOVE’ In this essay, “Of Love” Bacon tries to alter reader’s understanding by pointing out the shortcomings of love by focuses his attention on three points: Love is entertaining only on stage, it is an exaggerated form of expression in literature and wisdom and love wouldn’t coexist. He starts his essay by plunging direct into the crux of his argument which is confined in a short sentence, “The stage is more beholding of Love, than the real life of man.” He in the next line articulates the Aristotelian classification of stage i.e. tragedy and comedy. He believes that only plays are capable of portraying love that is pure and gives joy while in reality love is digressive, deluding and impish in nature like siren who deluded Odysseus on his voyage to home. He strengthens his argument by the dichotomous nature of Marcus Antony and Appius Claudius, where the former became the victim and the latter was the victor of this passion because, “love can find entrance not only into an open heart, but also a heart well fortified, if watch be not well kept." Bacon’s notion can be treated as a perception not as a rule to sentry emotions. According to him, Marcus Antonius, cohort of Appius Cladius, who was an “Austere and wise man”, was infiltrated by an astute passion because his “watch was not well kept”. Bacon is convinced that “Great spirits and great business do keep this weak passion”. But may we infer that Antonius was a "greater" man than Claudius because...

...Today’s audiences sometimes fail to recognize that the songs they hear on the radio each day convey strong messages to their listeners through the clever use of rhetoric. Without question, “Where is the Love?” by The Black Eyed Peas makes effective use of certain rhetorical devices to give the audience an idea of what a world in agony truly feels like. The display of pathos in the lyrics of the song is communicated through frequently made relations to the audience, including connections to often-experienced sufferings in the world and a stirring reference to God and religion. “Where is the Love?” captures the attention of its listeners and incites feelings of despondency within their minds. The song is able to connect to the audience by detailing examples of various injustices that take place in the world on a daily basis. The songwriter plays on the past experiences of listeners to rouse emotions they may have felt in a previous time in their lives or that they may...

...This British advertisement from the “Love Essex” campaign about littering portrays issues about gender inequality and gender stereotypes. The word ‘smart’ represents the implication of a man being smart while the word ‘pretty’, represents that women are implicated as pretty, rather than smart. In the advertisement, it shows that the man is dressed up in professional clothes, thus making him look ‘smart’, while the woman is wearing a sexy and beautiful clothing. This matches the wording as well as it matches the implications of the ideal world of men and women. Therefore, this advertisement portrays that men and women are not equal based on society. In addition, this advertisement asserts that women’s beauty matters more than their intelligence,...

...hip-hop artist and record producer, better known as J. Cole, once said, “Love isn’t complicated, people are.” Love is often unexpected, and many times catches people off guard. Love itself does not complicate situations, but rather the human reaction to the idea of love provokes chaotic circumstances. For Holden Caulfield, the protagonist of J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, he finds himself struggling to understand the concept of love. As various women figures appear in his life, Caulfield, unknowingly and immaturely, acts upon his feelings of love. As a 16 year-old kicked out of yet another prestigious private school, Holden roams the streets of New York City to avoid the lectures awaiting at home. He...

...‘Without Love’ is a song from the 2007 musical ‘Hairspray’. It is sung by Link Larkin, Tracy Turnblad, Seaweed Stubbs and Penny Pingleton, in Act 2. The song explains the troubles the teens have gone through to find love with each other, as they all come from different worlds, that normally shouldn’t be together, Tracy being a plus size teen, contrasting with Link being a teen actor, and Seaweed being of a race, who wasn’t allowed be with Penny, a Caucasian teen with an overbearing mother. This song fits into the Greek category of Eros. This is the sexual type of love that was often looked down upon by the Ancient Greeks, as being dangerous, irrational and loss of control, which is contradictory of what today’s love is described as, falling...

...Everyday we see athletes in tough situations with the game on the line. Some conquer the moment, and some melt under the pressure. I’m a big sports geek that watches every sport and closely follow my favorite teams, and everyday I see athletes embrace the pressure of close games in the closing moments, while some shy away and disappear in the moment. When I was 11 years old, on December 4, 2009, I witnessed Kobe Bryant hit a buzzer beater to win the game against the Miami Heat. That image of Kobe shooting over Dwyane Wade has ever since been stuck in my head leading me to many childish fantasies of me hitting a game winning shot in game 7 of the finals to win the championship like Kobe did. That buzzer beater by Kobe was the first of many game winning plays I saw watching sports including the most recent of them which was a game tying hail mary by Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs to send the game to overtime against the Arizona Cardinals. However, in that time I have seen many instances where players have had the chance to make a crucial game winning play at the end of the game but failed to do so. One of the biggest recurring things I’ve seen over the years are missed free throws in clutch moments of games by really good free throw shooters, which made me thinking how can some people make several clutch shots repetitively while some superstars choke under the pressure. I’ve seen players miss clutch free throws on TV all the time, but in January I went to Grissom basketball game...

...An artist by the name of Donald Glover, better known as Childish Gambino, released a hit album in December of 2016. Prior to releasing Awaken, My Love!, the NBC and The Daily Show featured him as a writer (Adaso). He then took the stage as a comedian and even became a leading actor in the television show Atlanta and other onscreen movies. It wasn’t until 2016 when his music career took flight and did well on the music charts. Although he had previous prior albums, the songs listed on Awaken, My Love! were played on a variety of radio stations that features R&B, Rap, and Pop music. During the first week of its release, about 72,000 albums were purchased making it the top of the charts (Mendizabal). After viewing the album cover, it’s no mystery...

...His work to me was revolutionary because everyone was equal under it. No one could train their face to not flash micro expressions or fully train the way their eyebrows move to hide guilt. Every fear our society had was solved under this method. Naive me had to learn a hard lesson that I believe is at the heart of this chapter. Facial expressions, emotional expressions, physiological expressions are all dependent on the person and the situation they are on. Changing my thoughts about what was at the core of my love of psychology was difficult. I do believe that, like the book shows, there are times when polygraphs and the guilty knowledge test can be accurate, but I can no longer support the blanket statements that those who solely support Ekman’s theories believe. Beyond my own emotions to this realization, this chapter brought up new ways of testing guilt that I had never thought of. The GKT test is a tool that I had never heard of but after reading about it, I am intrigued by. That is also interesting because interrogators have been known to throw facts about a case to a suspect to see if they verbally slip up and admit to...

...PRIDE AND PREJUDICE ANALYSIS Love theme Love never gets old. So does every problem that comes with it. The “pride” and “prejudice” that once hindered the love of Elizabeth and Darcy have not ceased to cause troubles to lovers until nowadays. It is the love theme that makes Pride and Prejudice famous and widely read for many decades. Love in late 18th and early 19th century must be more difficult than today. Social standings and class could become a huge barrier. Early in the book, this barrier is poitrated when Darcy, being a wealthy noble, snubs Elizabeth (he refused to dance with her). Elizabeth’s pride immediately judged Darcy on that bad first impression, and keeps her away further from him later. Just like that, Elizabeth and Darcy were distant from each other because of their prejudice. Elizabeth and Darcy, however, eventually married. But how? Through a serie of events, and through many experiences, they understood each other. Darcy begins to admire Elizabeth, captivated by her fine eyes and lively wit. Elizabeth continues to impress Darcy during her time nursing Jane at Netherfield. But she, unlike him, did not grow such sudden change of heart that quick. She remained cold to Darcy for a long time, even angry at him once. But things change after Darcy gave her a letter to explain everything. And with some important events after that, Elizabeth slowly fell to Darcy. In the end both admitted that they were wrong. Aside from Elizabeth and Darcy, other couples contribute...
