Photography may seem like just clicking pictures of anything and everything. And that is exactly what the lay man perceives it to be. However what photography really is; is quite deep when one ponders the notion. Photography if were to be termed in one word, that word would be vision.

Some people ...

How did the videos make you feel?

The issue of gay rights has resulted in much controversy over the past few years. Watching the YouTube and It Gets Better Project videos resulted in mixed feelings based on the content. While watching some of the videos, I could not believe the level of ignorance that once existed in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. The videos classified the act of being gay as a mental disease that was transferrable (Inglewood Unified School District). While listening to the anti-gay video, there was also a feeling of disgust and disagreement at the high amount of wrong information ...

The Tree

That old tree looks on to the world around as time passes by, It can hear the beauty of the horizon as the children engage in frolic beneath. It can see the birds fly in joy. It can taste the dusty air as the pebbles thrown by the kids-

Hit the skin, it can smell the muddy path that meanders around the bark.

It recalls in view those past times, as it hears the knell at the cemetery yonder. It remembers all the things gone, all the years spent. Like Socrates of Greece, it stands and wonders! The tree is too young to leave the world. Not old at all for sure.

It was beautiful time when the couple got married, and they smiled in joy at the altar,

Shit! ...

The time is passing by so fast like a spaceship. It seems to me like the year 2016 was just yesterday, but now I realized that 20 years have passed already. What has changed since that time?

Computers and robots are replacing human beings. It is good for some dangerous situations were machines could save human lives, but robots are widely spreading nowadays. At the moment the future depends on ...

Abstract

Sages and physicians have for ages recognized the importance of laughter and humor in a person’s life and health.

Science fiction, regardless of its medium, is often thought to be a means of projecting our ideas of the future – what it could be, what it might become, how it should be, and so on. This is often demonstrated in the utopian and dystopian genres of SF, in which future societies, either good or bad, are showcased in order to explore sociological and philosophical ideas about humanity and society. As Jameson notes, this kind of future projection and prediction can be complicated to express, as semiotics and symbolism grants us the ability to investigate those ideas in more abstract ...

Every parent knows this with a certainty that comes with age, and that is realized when they walk through their home and hear only the faint echoes of laughter and children at play.

People don’t realize it but they have a set of criteria against which an author’s work can be measured. Ultimately, that criteria determines if it is worthy of time in that cozy chair.

Some time ago, life, for most people, was not as comfortable as it is today. The World did not have as much to offer as it does today. There was no Internet; there were no airplanes to travel around the world and discover new places, there were no iPods, pads, smartphones.

Introduction

The 9/11 attacks were unpredictable, and they shook the entire country. Two planes came out of nowhere, and struck the twin towers in order to demise them forever.

1. Like everything in Pecola’s life, her being pregnant is packaged with her ugliness.

Others use it to remind themselves how ugly Pecola is, “Ought to be a law: two ugly people ...

In our speedy world with constant run for so-called better life, we often forget to live. We cannot abandon our ambitious and let it go.

1. List and explain five things that people know are true?

The truth is existence of the opposite. For everything that people believe they determine its existence through it opposite. Joy and sadness are two opposite which could not exist without the other. Man and women are also considered opposite. Without opposition nothing exists; hence people, have to believe in the existence of opposition first, before they believe in the existence of everything they conceive (Scruton 43). The second truth is that they exist. This truth is accepted by almost everyone. The evidence that people believe that they exist is that they (themselves and other people) is that they interact ...

The Cadbury’s gorilla adverts are one of the best adverts I have ever come across.

In the end, however, they figure out that for this, they did not need fancy dinners and exotic trips, rather what they needed was beside them all along: family and friends; ...

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city life, the noise of cars, when one goes to a place which is close to nature, its serenity gives you comfort and peace.

Many cyclists were cycling down the mountain on the muddy path demarcated for them to avoid accidents with the pedestrians ascending or descending the mountain. While ...
