Michael was doing what he was always doing on a Thursday night. He was seated comfortably in his armchair in the living room watching his favourite TV show, is home-made spaghetti Bolognese on his lap, and a cold beer on the table next to him. Mike was one of those guys, a creature of habit. Living alone for 3 years does that to you, I guess.

Susie was not one to cast judgment on another person because she was not that kind of girl; that was not the kind of person her parents had raised her to become. In the brightly lit hollow that was her bedroom, she stood and wondered why her brother could be so mean and hateful to her. They had spent nine months together in their mother’s womb. That should have been enough time to bond, in Susie’s opinion. Timothy was older by nine minutes. It was hardly the blink of an eye, Susie was sure, when it came ...

It also became the “central metaphor of American cultural identity” (Showalter 215).

She stares at the mirror, at the woman that she has become. With calculated but daring movement, she opens the drawer and stares at the black, hidden weapon.

Glenn walked into the kitchen and stopped at the ...

As long as an Ad observed the code of ethics set by the law and most importantly by the society. The ad fits and should be used by candidates to popularize themselves.

In “The Death of the Author,” structuralist thinker Roland Barthes suggested the notion of the author as a distinct identity in the creation and interpretation of a text was a thing of the past.

The ideas in the scriptor's mind would have to travel through his or her semiotic filters to make it to the paper – those filters take the ideas and shape them – for ...
