Will Davis Campbell’s historical memoir, Brother to a Dragonfly, which has been reprinted to include a foreword from President Jimmy Carter and US House of Representatives Member John Lewis, narrates the life of a poor white boy from Amite County, Mississippi who becomes a Baptist preacher and civil rights activist. Will Campbell was born in 1924 in a small town segregated community. In the foreword to the new edition of the book, US House of Representatives member John Lewis is quoted, “We’ve come as far as we have, I believe, because we’ve been led by a force bigger than we are. I call it the Spirit of History.” Brother to a Dragonfly expresses the hardships and ridicule white Southerners faced for supporting the Civil Rights Movement and

Is it right to leave behind what a person believes in order to join a safer group? In William Golding’s classic novel Lord of the Flies the characters Sam and Eric are very civil characters who makes the decision to “go with the flow” from the moment the plane crashes to the moment the boys are rescued.

However, Samneric never change their beliefs.

Usually, nothing significant happens in your day, so you don’t remember it down the line. For example, would you be able to tell me what you have for breakfast last Wednesday? Could you tell me what you did in the afternoon two Saturdays ago? Since nothing particular stands out in my life, I couldn’t tell you. Adnan Syed however, had an extremely eventful day January 13, 1999 considering his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee was gruesomely murdered.
When a person reads a book, he or she may notice certain objects or characters throughout that book. These characters or objects may be known as symbols. By definition symbols are objects, characters, figures, and colors used to represent abstract ideas or concepts. In Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding, there are various symbols in the book, but there is only symbol that I want to write about. Piggy is a main character in this book and his pair of glasses symbolize discovery, power, and safety.
Title Day 1: I open my eyes, sitting up straight, only to realize that everything is turned 90 degree to the right… Next to us, a yellow school bus lies on its side. Pieces of glass scatters everywhere. Black smokes exit the cranky engine, traverse up to the height of an oak tree, then dissipate into the blue sky.
The Carroll Players performed the American play, Fat Pig, by playwright Neil LaBute, at Carroll University’s Otteson Studio Theatre, on Saturday, October 24, 2015. Two performances were scheduled (2:00 PM and 7:00 PM), and I attended the earlier show. The simple romantic relationship plot of “boy-meets-girl and they fall in love” cleverly twisted into comedic satire, as “the girl” is a pretty, plus-size librarian and “the boy” is a handsome, physically-fit professional man living in a big city. The play’s director, Ryan Albrechtson, theatre arts major senior, captured the plot’s irony.
Little Nothing, that’s me. That’s my name. It’s strange almost. The other kids at school bully me for having a name like Little Nothing, they say I got my name from the Gods to tell me that I’m worthless. My parents tell me that I got my name from being so small and skinny, I don’t believe them.
It’s me-squidward. You have probably heard a lot about me from Spongebob and Patrick, whatever they said is probably bad. Saddly, I don’t understand why people think I’m always mean to Spongebob and Patrick and ruin their fun, but you should finally hear my side of the story so you can understand what I have to go through. So this is what really happened… I know that you think I have bullied Spongebob and Patrick
“You got to think Ponyboy” is one of my favorites quotes to say after my parents died. I have two jobs and also to watch out for Ponyboy and Sodapop not to go to a boys home. I am the oldest of the greasers. I slapped Ponyboy to tell him to never be late again. Also I slapped him because I can not call the police because they will put Soda and him in a boys home and they would never see me again.
A character that has been constantly alienated in this story has been Piggy. His nickname, weight, asthma and poor eyesight are all factors in his separation from the boys’ society. For example, Golding writes “then, went on Piggy ‘that boy-I forget’. ‘You’re talking to much ’said Jack Merridew. ’ Shut up fatty’.
Every warm color has a cool compliment. So how do you decide on your color choice? Once you've narrowed down your selection (and I would add at this point to narrow down your selection to three choices), take the paint chips or samples home. Most paint companies now have larger paint chips so that you can experience your color samples effectively.
