Make A Living American Society
1,974 words
The past five weeks in my life have really had an
impact on me. In such a short period of time, I
have become more aware of the different cultures
that exist around the world today. We tend to
think that our way of life is the only way there
is, or at least the only right way. It is really
very ignorant to think that everyone believes and
behaves the same way. People should stop being so
self-centered and take notice and interest in
cultural diversity. There are numerous different
cultures in ou...

Time Of Year Time Of Day
794 words
In many stories, settings are constructed to help
build the mood and to foreshadow of things to
come. "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson is a story
in which the setting sets up the reader to think
of positive outcomes. However, this description of
the setting foreshadows exactly the opposite of
what is to come. In addition, the theme that we
learn of at the end leads us to think of where the
sanity of some human beings lies. The story begins
with the establishment of the setting. To begin,

Vermont seemingly has escaped the ugly urban
sprawl that pollutes so many parts of the nation.

independent people. Their rugged New England
