The author of “The Lessons for Woman” was Ban Zhao. From what I have read in this writing, it is telling us that she is a mother and she is concerned about humility in women. The way she is influences the story by the fact that she cares about humility in herself and the others in the story. She was writing as Ban Zhao as a Chinese scholar during the time of A.D. 45-120. The author was writing this piece under history and classical writing. The author’s purpose of this writing was to inform the women to better prepare them for the things that they may experience in Chinese culture. The reason that she wanted to inform them was so that she could make their husbands happy and please them. She wanted people to read her writing to take all the
As I come of age, I do not only learn in the classroom as a student taking English 1 at Sage Hill but in general as a teenager learning how life works. In this past school year alone, I have learned the importance of communication and the concept that friends come and go, but family stays forever. These lessons relate to the themes of Celeste Ng’s Everything I Never Told You.
I have chosen a song that I would say is a country song. It is actually a song that I have known for many years and that I actually taken ato. This song would be “Chicken Fried” by Zac Brown. In this song, Brown sings about things such as enjoying his evenings with family and getting to dine on his favorite meals, being raised in the South, and giving thanks to God and the people who fought for the freedom of our nation. In the chorus, he is described to the listener that he is with his family, and presumably friends as well, enjoying each other’s company on a Friday night. He also explained getting to eat some fried chicken, drink beer, and listen to the radio. He then mentions that he was born and raised in Georgia Pine. Then in the next
Toby Keith is talent personified. Toby is not just a singer but he is a songwriter as well. Most country artists today lack the talent to write, in the past nearly all the legends of Country Music wrote and sang their own material. Toby Keith holds rank with those Legends of Country Music. Put Toby Keith up against "other" musicians and in other genres-- Toby is still in a league by himself. Many artists today lack the talent to sing without the high-tech studio gimmicks to make their voices better. Toby Keith possesses one strong, clear and beautiful baritone voice . His talent of writing and singing were God given. Toby genuinely acknowledges God's role in his singing as well as in his life. He is not afraid to stand up and share his beliefs in God, Country and Family Values. On the flipside Toby will let loose paying tribute to the old Country Music stereotype songs: of beer drinking and temptation. Not many artists can walk such a fine

With the ever-evolving sounds of the country music, he wondered at one point, if there was still a place for his purist sound in the industry.

Picture this: An early Saturday morning that consists of a steady flowing summer breeze that caresses the curtains as it dances into the bedroom of a young girl. The young girl that this room belongs to sits on her bed Indian style (or Native American Style, to be politically correct), listening to her beloved iPod. She’s probably listening to Aerosmith -- her favorite band -- or her guilty pleasure song “Hollaback Girl” by No Doubt lead singer, Gwen Stefani. These aren’t her only musical interests; she has hundreds of favorites. Alice Cooper, Ludacris, Bad Company, Korn, Beastie Boys: the list continues on.
My story has a meaningful story behind it. The story is deep for me and even for the artist and probably for many other people. Hearing songs like this can inspire you. It inspired me to be thankful for the people in my life. One day they can be here the next they could be gone. You never know what’s going on in their lives.
Anne Bradstreet and Abigail Adams were educated, passionate writers during their time. Through their works, they discussed things that were a major concern or interest to them. The Prologue is one of Bradstreet’s most skillfully written, thought-provoking works. It is a reflection of Anne Bradstreet’s life, views and struggles of living in a Puritan society dominated by men. Like Bradstreet, Abigail Adams was diversely educated on topics that most women never considered. She was famous for writing letters to her husband, sharing her views on society, women’s rights and politics. “Remember the ladies” was one of the most influential letters written by Abigail Adams, asking her Husband to remember women’s rights.

Hello, single lady. Perhaps you picked up this book because you are tired of the empty promises of a man, or, maybe you still think that in order for you to obtain wealth and get that white picket fence brick house, is by getting married. Perhaps your world seems confused; caught between two worlds, straddled between the fence of getting ‘things’ God’s way or getting things by going against your belief. And, just maybe, you are lonely and find yourself in compromising situations that are against the Truth you know. I am no different from you, in that I have issues I need to deal with in order to live the divine, abundant life God promised me in his Word. As I began to search his Word further, I found out that my life moves in the direction
The other day I finished the book Where She Went which is the sequel to the book If I Stay. When I started reading it I suddenly got so angry that I could read the book for a while. The reason why I got angry is because I thought the book was going to go in a completely different direction and the two main characters were going to live happily ever after. In the book If I Stay they left you to sort of imagine the ending so of course being the person I am I imagined that the two main characters followed their dreams and get married and all that cliché stuff. Though in reality the car crash and everything tore them after causing them to go separate ways, never to see each other for several years. They did finally get together again in the sequel
“Sad, wise, and true… unforgettable” says Melissa de la Cruz, New York Times best-selling author. Many readers think Can’t Look Away would be very boring and feminine, this book is not exaggerated so it is relatable, and it doesn’t consist of all romance. Can’t Look Away is a wonderful choice.
