The discussion on Kenyan fashion has a high prevalence of cultural layers that we can see will differ amongst the different social classes. African fashion in the modern world today is primarily used as a large example in discussing the manipulations of fashion because of the westernizing movement in cultural appropriation. Due to the fact that a large number of people in the western hemisphere are using cultural African apparel to suit their fashionista tastes, African women are therefore put in a position where they feel they must uphold the authenticity of such styles; as they feel pressurized in preserving their culture from appropriation. Fashion among middle class Kenyan women in urban areas and women living in other urban areas in Africa,

Postmodernism is a very unique era within American literature. In previous time periods authors wrote very structured eventful stories that would often relate to the most common themes of the time, however Postmodernism completely defied this formula. In most cases Postmodern stories do not have story arcs nor do they have common themes. At most, the Post era can be bound by very vague similarities. Most of the stories are conveyed through streams of conscious, which is essentially using an unedited snippet of someone's life to create a story. There are no inner monologues or poetic speeches, rather they only showcase a small scale continuous sliver of life. The narration device similarity is cut and dry, however this can not be said for the themes within Postmodernism. In the vaguest of words, Post era literature can be bound within a common ideal of expressing the terrible and disappointing aspects of life.

Deep-Grained Love “A Worn Path” “’Out of my way, all you foxes, owls, beetles, jack rabbits, coons and wild animals! Keep the big wild hogs out of my path. Don’t let none of those come running my direction. I got a long way’” (92) English Literature, Robert Diyanni. A Worn Path is an eloquent story, written in third person narration with colorful language that draws the reader deeper into the plot and the setting of the story.

The art of courtly love is difficult to pinpoint because there are many facets that extend into different areas. In the Pre-Raphaelite and Medieval periods, love was more formulated with rules, moral standards, and codes. Courtly love is often seen as the "love" practiced by kings, queens, and other nobility because of the mystique that surrounds legendary stories like Lancelot and Guinevere. Courtly love encompasses spiritual awakening, lust, passion, adultery, and religion; therefore, the art of courtly love intrigues as well as interests its readers.

I'm the type of person who avoids people when it is necessary to do so. I just can't stand here waiting for them to get me away from this trap they've set specially for me. It may be impossible to leave the trap without being hurt, but I'll definitely do it just to be away from people who doesn't accept the real me. Love is a trap, it is either you stay there to be spared from loneliness or leave it for the sake of

To begin, serial killers are those who commit a series of murders usually without no motive during extended periods of times. In addition, serial killers are also known to commit their murders in a pattern. To society these people are usually referred to as “monsters”, and they believe that these kinds of individuals should be given the worse punishment. Not to mention, society has different opinions on whether serial killers should be given capital punishment or if they should be given a sentence to life in prison, without the possibility of parole. In my opinion, I believe that serial killers should not be given the death penalty. I believe that anyone who can commit murders obviously has mental problems. Serial

Throughout the ages, many have tried to comprehend the human experience of love and its ineffable and mysterious force that leads us to complete euphoria or utter despair, with songs, paintings, and stories. In Plato’s Symposium, six guest including Socrates, tackle and attempt to define love amongst each other. With each attempt, and our study of Johns gospel, the intertextuality between the symposium and John 15:8-17 helps one better understand the portrait that John portrays of Jesus as the ultimate lover and only way to being fully complete.

It is very natural for people to crave for love. Love is valuable as it connects us with people and makes us become better people in general. Love can exist in many forms -- be it family affection, friendship or romantic love. These different types of love can be distinguished by using the three components in love -- intimacy, passion and commitment, as set out in the “Triangular Theory of Love” proposed by psychologist Robert Sternberg.

By searching for happiness through these methods, gruesome deaths of themselves or their loved ones result, leaving the seekers of happiness unable to fulfill their lives since they lack love. In Sappho's "Poem 16", She states, "Some men say an army of horse and some men say an army on foot and some say and army of ships is the most beautiful things on the black earth. But I say it is what you love" (Carson 638). To Sappho, agents of war do not portray beauty, but love does. War and the things that come along with it have trivial value, but beauty resides in seeking and nurturing loved ones. This serves as the way to contentment. In contrast, Agamemnon found value in war over love by sacrificing his daughter to give his men safe passage to war, which resulted in his wife murdering him upon his return home, and to add to this tragedy, when the chorus of Agamemnon finds Clytaemnestra standing over Agamemnon's bloody corpse with a sword in her hand, she admits this: "I don't deny it, no. He had no way to flee or fight his destiny" (Fagles 693). Agamemnon seeks gratification in his life by sacrificing his daughter for the sake of his men finding glory in war and power over the Trojans, but in doing so he never has the ability to exercise his power because his actions actually led to his own bloody death, a death that left him helpless in the end. Jason depicts another example of a gruesome end by striving for power. By leaving Medea for a princess that would give him a position

That was Zach's initital thought as he closed the distance between himself and Olivia, and mouthed the words he'd spoken earlier in the bookstore, wondering how she'd take it. The small smile that passed across her face said it all, a secret already to be kept between them, which made two if he included the earlier conversation between the two at Barnes and Noble. One's already kept from her boyfriend, who stood only twenty feet behind her, yet was completely oblivious.

I was sitting in third block waiting for the bell to ring when Sabine, Adrian, and a girl I didn’t know walked into the room talking about God knows what. The conversation was quiet, but the three of them were quite animated and into it.
