Front Door Cell Phone
1,193 words
Lily's eyes slowly fluttered open. She glanced at
the alarm clock, which said 11: 39 a. m. Getting
out of bed, walking slowly down the carpeted
stairs which tickled her tired feet a little, and
rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, Lily went to
the door. When she opened it, nobody was there.
She could feel the morning breeze lightly dancing
on her face and the bright sun stinging her eyes.
She started back up the soft stairs now
comfortable to her feet, thinking she could have
just been hearing thi...

Room Of One Jane Austen
554 words
In contrast to the male quest of combat, is a
women's voyage of domesticity. Virginia Woolf
discusses a world where women have been denied
external opportunities and consequently become
internal. For if it was indeed possible for all
women to obtain A Room of One's Own, they too,
would have the opportunity for cultured, artistic,
talent. "For women have sat indoors, all these
million of years... for this creative power
differs greatly from the creative power of men.
And one must conclude that it...

House On Mango Street

In, The House On Mango Street, by Sandra Cisneros,
the author has efficiently placed superior symbols
throughout the novel, and if a reader thoroughly
combs through each page, symbols become apparently
noticeable. Primarily, Mamas hair represents
beauty and comfort. In addition, women represent
captivity and wasted dreams. Lastly, Cathy, the

Form Of Punishment Physical Pain

During this report I give numerous examples of
Medieval Punishment/Torture. I have to give extra
credit to the web sites I found on Torture. Some
give such excellent descriptions of the use of
torture devises that changing them or rewriting
them would totally ruin the whole picture they
exemplify. His weeping wife stood on a stool and
kissed his poor pilloried face, and when his ears

19 Th Century Knights Of Labor
477 words
Industrialization in the 19 th century made
production easier, quicker and inexpensive for
employers. I believe that industrialization
allowed employers to abuse American and immigrant
workers in many ways. Workers were exposed to
hazardous environments. Facilities lacked fire
extinguishers. These facilities also locked
emergency exits. An example of unsafe workplaces
was the NYC Triangle Shirtwaist Company (1911).
This factory caught a fire and killed 146 workers
including men, women, and child...

more than parents exerting their right to

little out of hand. People are tragically missed

choice, which then makes it their decision. If one

White Collar Anti Social
707 words
Criminology The first thing we must admit in this
connection is the very great failure of the
present penal system meant to protect the public.
It is generally recognized by all who have any
relationship with them that our prisons are very
much a training opinion for crime. A crook that
has spent some time in prison comes out much more
sophisticated in his methods of breaking the Law
than when he went in. If we had the conscious aim
of running university courses in how to commit
crime, we could ...

Forced To Work Hours A Week

When you think about children, chances are you
think of them getting up in the morning, going to
school then coming home and going outside to play.
Sadly this isnt always the case. In other
countries, children are locked up inside being
forced to work. Is it fair that a child is forced
to work a twelve-hour shift, seven days a week
earning only seven cents an hour? This means if a
child were to work eighty-four hours a week (when
the maximum is 60 hours a week), then they will
have only earned $...
