Under the trees of her dream-gardens there had always walked a lover. The door opened and Pete appeared. He shrugged his shoulders. "Oh, Gawd," he observed. He walked over to Maggie and whispered in her ear. "Ah, what deh hell, Mag? Come ahn and we'll have a hell of a time." 3."Teh hell wid him and you," she said, glowering at her daughter in the gloom.

...Dennis Nivar ENG102-L11 Extra Credit February 3, 2014 Dear Maggie, I am writing this letter to thank you and Momma for allowing Hakim and I to visit the both of you back home. Also thank Momma for the delicious food, and for making Hakim and I feel so welcomed. It was great to go back home after so many years and to see the both of you guys are doing great. Maggie, I also wanted to tell you that I have done a lot of thinking after the visit. I deeply apologize for the way I have acted towards you and Momma, and I was wrong. I apologize not just for my recent visit, but for everything that has happened in the past. I know I have never been the best daughter or sister but there is no excuse for my actions. It bothers me that you’re my only sister and we have never been close. I feel horrible for the lack of communication between us, and how I only wrote to Momma twice in four years. Ever since I left home to get an education and start a new life, I wanted to forget where I came from as much as I could. I couldn’t stand living the way we did and I wanted to break out of that cycle, which was the reason of the name change. I was ashamed of who I was and where I came from, which is wrong. I know I cannot get all of the time back that we did not spend together but I wish I can make that all up. I hope you and Momma can forgive me and maybe for my next visit we can start over again. Sincerely Dee...

...A Sense of Belonging Student Name College Name A Sense of Belonging Alice Walker’s Everyday Use was about a woman who raised two daughters on a farm in the rural south during the late 1960s or early 1970s. Even though they were very poor, the eldest daughter, Dee, was able to go away to college. She was educated and very worldly. The younger sister, Maggie, stayed at home with Mama and could barely read. Although Mama and Maggie felt they belonged on the farm, Dee felt she belonged in the city, and couldn’t understand why Mama and Maggie didn’t feel the same way. Mama felt comfortable living on the farm. While waiting in the yard for Dee to arrive for a visit, she said, “a yard like this is more comfortable than most people know” (Walker, 2011, p. 283). Mama knew the yard would be a suitable place to wait. She said “the hard clay is swept clean as a floor and the fine sand around the edges lined with tiny, irregular grooves anyone can come and sit and look up into the elm tree and wait for the breezes that never come inside the house” (Walker, 2011, p. 283). Mama was a very practical person and content with her lot in life. She accepted the fact that she didn’t possess the skills that women typically possessed. She couldn’t sing like the other ladies in church, but she spoke proudly of her rough, “man-working hands” (Walker, 2011, p. 283). Mama was a large, big-boned, strong woman. She could slaughter animals and work hard all day just like a man. She even dressed in...

...Eric Beaverson Dr. Murray English 015 17 April 2011 The Simpsons: A Yellow Construction of Our Reality Probably the most popular of media forms, television has greatly influenced individual and cultural lifestyle, our everyday habits, and our culture in general. TV has become a must-have for the majority of American society and its’ invention has highly influenced the development of other technologies and social development by adapting to an ever changing social environment. It has become the most widespread media form for obtaining information, ranging from the weather, world and national news, and entertainment information. However, as much as the television has become a major source of obtaining information about the world around us, it has also influenced the way people around the world think about politics, religion, history and personal relationships. There are numerous television programs that not only represent current social topics but also influence the perceptions made by the viewer through the use of modes ranging from the serious to the satiric. Of the many programs on TV that uses these modes to represent social issues, The Simpsons regularly critique the mainstream American lifestyle in a sarcastic tone. It represents and reaffirms perceived myths and lifestyle choices made by the middle class American family, makes jabs at America's political structure, and represents religion in a superficial tone.

...programming followed among these guidelines. However, it is not in a drama that American family life is best represented in the 1990's. Instead, it is in the animated series, "The Simpsons". "The Simpsons" follows suit with the other dramas that reflected the decade in which they aired. According to the U.S. consensus for March 1998, the majority of households in America are married couples (U.S. Consensus pp. 1, 3,4,6). The Simpson's meet this. Also according to the consensus, the average married couple has approximately 2.6 children per household (U.S. Consensus, Household Characteristics p.1). Since there cannot be six-tenths of a child, I will round up to three children, in which the Simpson family has: Bart, Lisa and Maggie. Also, the average American is a blue-collar worker. The father figure, Homer, meets this factor with his job at the nuclear power...

Fire companies have a variety of actions they can take and many factors to take into account to help limit the spread of structure fires. A few of these are ventilation, nozzle type, and time.

West, Garcia, and Hartin (2009) describe ventilation as, “The exchange of the atmosphere inside a compartment with the atmosphere outside the compartment. Ventilation is ongoing in all habitable spaces. Under fire conditions, this involves exit of smoke and intake of fresh air” (para. 35).

...In the novel “One flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest” what sticks out to me the most is that the narrator is not the protagonist. You would think at first that Chief Bromden the one who is a “Chronic” would have a flawed mental state. However that is not the case because Bromden is adept at describing what he sees. He also sees the true intention of Nurse Ratched and pretends that he is deaf. What is surprising is that McMurphy the new admission is very happy to be in a hospital for the insane. I still don’t know whether it’s all a play to get on the other patient good side or part of his true character. He notices that Chief Bromden is not really deaf and winks to Bromden that he knows. This tells me that McMurphy is someone who is not easily fooled. Another thing that sticks out is that there are names given to the different types of mental patients in the novel. The “Acutes” and “Chronics” differ in their mental state but are kept in the same ward. I am thinking about the Nurse Ratched's true intention in the novel. Where does she fit into the progression of the novel and will her McMurphy clash? The characters that are supposedly “mad” would be the “Chronics” because as the novel puts it they are “the culls of the Combine’s product” (Page 15). However, to me they are not really mad they just need some guidance. I think the person that is really “mad” is Nurse Ratched because she puts on a facade when certain people are present. Chief Bromden points out that“she has to change back...

Also Stephen Crane use of imagery makes you lose sight at what is going on talking about from men then changing them to animals within them. “The regiment is sometimes a monster and sometimes a reptile. These images cause the reader to lose sight of the fact that the regiment is really a unit of men” (cliffnotes). Stephen Crane also he uses color imagery to show contrast in things.

Being born in the nineteen-eighties have meant that I have grown-up with such television shows as Thundercats and Saved By the Bell by my side. Although there is a lot of humor and imagination involved in these programs, there is only one show that I have found to encompass all issues with an inevitable sense of humor. This show is none other than, The Simpsons. I have watched it religiously since the day it aired in 1988, along with many of my fellow students. There is just something irresistibly hilarious about the crudely drawn figures, each with a different attitude and temperament. With well over two...
