a chill down your back, but what also makes you
hide under your covers at night. Is it the shadows

Back To Work Working Mothers

Many women today are facing choices that their
mothers never had to face. One of these choices is
whether or not to go back to work after having a
child. This was practically unheard of in the 1950

will or will not go back to work rather a question
of when. When did the choice become set in stone?
Why do the mothers of today have to work outside
the home versus working in the home, much like
their mothers did? When one thinks of the subject
of work...

I've had my own share of relationships and
experienced the ups and downs. Yet it never did it
occur to me that the cause for such experiences
would be because of what my boyfriend and I were
born with: our races. Being biracial myself,

different aspects of both cultures. My mom is
Filipino, and my dad is Japanese. They may be

Flew Over The Cuckoo Nest One Flew Over The Cuckoo
486 words
Kesey's characterization of women is by no means
fair. He perceives one type to be the bossy
domineering woman, and the other type to be
submissive whores. He is subjective to the inmates
being futile, perceiving us to think that their
wives and especially Big "Powerful" Nurse took
away their manliness. Kesey tries to imply that
whores such as Candy Starr, contradict that, and
offer them courage and pleasure. In this book,
there are no regular women, just these two
extremes. One Flew Over The Cu...

Orgies Orgies Boys Dog Calling
320 words
The Gift In The Gift by Louise Glock, the little
boy is calling orgies, orgies, at his front door.
This could mean several things, first we would
have to look at clues. The poem states that the
mother is praying to GOD. One could infer that the
boys dog died and he is calling without reward to
his lost friend. Therefore the most logical
response would be that the boy was in fact calling
for his dead dog. In the opening paragraph I
stated what I thought the main idea for the poem
was. But that do...
