Upon receiving this assignment, the interest was clear. Carrie Fountain’s poem, Experience, touches so much of what is human about everyone in one area of life or another. Whether we have denied it or not, everyone has that remembrance that was great while it was happening, but was more an ending than a means to an end. Humankind makes mistakes of judgment frequently. Thankfully time, and what is intrinsically good in us can manage to overcome our battles with all things, which is something of an element in this poem that will be discussed soon enough. The central ...

When we hear someone talk about the fountain of youth, we know that we are dealing with the issue of aging and not of a magic spring that creates immortality for humans. We know this because we’ve all been taught the very basics of life, in one form or another, along with the undeniable truth that death is real. Because we are aware that preventing death is impossible, we’ve decided to explore the best preventative treatments for battling the un-pleasantries of old age, including proper diet, exercise, and other routine physical and mental ...

The color line that defines the history of the United States, from the antebellum period to the years of the Civil Rights movement, is evident in Melissa Fay Greene’s work. Dubbed Praying for Sheetrock, the text revolves around the changes in the cultural norms that guided the society of McIntosh County, Georgia, in the last half of the twentieth century. For that reason, the book allows readers to witness an extension of the Civil Rights Movement that historians tend to overlook, one that is away from the streets of Alabama and Atlanta. Thus said, the protagonist and the ...

La Géode (at the Bernard Tschumi’s Parc de la Villete,) Carlos ZGZ| Flickr, n.d. Bernard Tschumi’s Parc de la Villete is a good example of deconstruction in architecture because it correctly illustrates how an architect, similar to a writer, can use rhetorical devices, such as “repetition, distortion, or juxtaposition” (Tschumi 146). In the above photograph, the fountain, named La Géode, does not look like a traditional fountain. The shape of the fountain is distorted and allows the water to spray downwards instead of upwards. Additionally, instead of the water curving and ...

Gone were the days when an African American would get into trouble for drinking water from a white water fountain. The better part of the 1040s characterized racial segregations that were not only strictly enforced by the laws as instituted by Jim Crow but also by the age-customs. At this time, the civil rights movement was still in infancy. The laws that governed voting as well as access to public facilities and jobs in an equitable manner were mere fallacies and decades away from attainment. The Africa Americans could not even make to eat or drink from the restaurants. ...

ABSTRACT

Police discretion is a freedom granted to officers in order to make judgment calls while on the job. However, some officers, take advantage of, misuse and abuse that freedom.

There are two sides to the argument. Many Americans, as well as, many in law enforcement, feel that the unpredictability of police work requires that officers have some freedom to make proactive choices as to how to resolve a situation.

However, my friend Julia was always researching on the internet and looking at pictures of gigantic water fountains all around the world. She was particularly a fan of those in Dubai where water shows are regularly held in the middle ...

Background

In the early years of the 20th century, owning a car is a status symbol. Vehicle models became essential in shaping the materialistic culture of human.
