Why we read? We read because reading benefits our body, inspires us to be better people, and expands our capabilities to be imaginative, creative and empathetic. A negative stigma about reading has developed in the current century: that reading is a mere pastime, that it is a taxing chore [or labour], and simply a hobby for the elderly or people with time on their hands.

Edward Cullen is my favorite character in Twilight. He is a gorgeous vampire that is the love interest. He is good-hearted despite the fact that he thinks he is a monster. In the book he falls in love with main character, Bella. She is, in fact, a human. His primary goal in life is to protect Bella and the reason he so drawn to her is because he cannot read her mind. As a human Edward was very intuitive so when he was changed into a vampire his senses became stronger. That is why he has the ability

I’ll be the first to admit I had and still slightly have a tendency to fall in love with fictional characters. Edward Cullen was my first love. After I finished Twilight, I read anything and everything with a romantic plot. I would dream of a romance like the ones in my books and would even find myself resenting my boyfriend of the moment for not being like my favorite love interests. I read during breaks

The Modern Triumph of Napoleon If you take a scroll in Brooklyn Museum on a rainy afternoon, you will notice an intriguing piece called “Napoleon Leading the Army over the Alps” by Kehinde Wiley. There may be many reasons why this painting catches your eye. It could be the enormous size of the painting, the elaborate golden frame that stands out from other frameless contemporary art, or perhaps the excess of detail and sharp realism rather than the abstractness that is common in other
The inevitable truth that death is inescapably waiting for us is a universal theme of life, and different perceptions of it can be viewed throughout literature. Two authors exploring this concept are Edgar Allen Poe and William Cullen Bryant, whose works delve into the existentially ominous anticipation people experience leading up to their death. Whereas Poe illustrates a fearful and disturbing build-up, Bryant provides a more comforting view. Bryant’s “Thanatopsis” shares a consoling view of death
