Now, almost half a century later, Governor Rick Perry is set to break that record, with the costliest, largest, and most incredible-sized proportion Texas Trans-Corridor, dubbed the “Texas Superhighway,” a 4000 mile, $175 billion dollar project that won’t be completely functional for another fifty years (Perry). This project certainly

    intact. Perry Smith, murderer of the Clutter family, had an upbringing that “was marked by brutality and lack of concern on the part of both parents.” Due to his childhood he “seems to have grown up without direction, and without ever having absorbed any fixed sense of moral values.” He felt no regret for murdering the family, only that he felt sorry that they were the ones “ that … had to pay for it.” While Dick considered Perry as innocent, “he had never been with a woman”, he believed Perry was a

    feelings and thought. I like brisk and lively songs that make me feel happy and relax, instead of heavy sad song or strong rhythm hit song because I can easily be emotional. Among all other songs, “Wide Awake” sung by an American singer named Katy Perry is a meaningful song for me. I still remember the first time I listened to this song was in the evening, and I had just went back from school and was having a rest in the living room while watching Astro Hitz with my sister. This song showed up in

    Although Truman Capote recognizes the duality of Perry, he uses language complexities to demonize Dick; therefore he argues people with mental health issues deserve help while those who choose their behaviors deserve harsher punishments. Amplification embellishes the artwork that Capote illustrates. In the beginning, he paints the picture of Perry as naive and gentle, which contrasts with Dick who was heartless and arrogant. Later, a picture of Dick’s past as a teenager is elaborated: “‘An outstanding

    confuse and disturb the general populace. The inclusion of details such as the “souls in sleeping Holcomb” (Capote 5) whose innocence was murdered along with the Clutter family the night of the silent shotgun blasts, the yellow parrot described in Perry Smith’s dreams, the argument held over penalties in the courtroom, and the final words Dick Hickock heard before his death “on rope for bloody crime” (Capote 337), emphasize the theme that religion is firmly planted in all actions - even those which

    been mistaken, and in the aftermath of that discovery, had grown very unsure of Perry…” At first glance this quote seems foreboding, but unless the reader has finished the book, they may not notice the foreshadowing. At the end of the book it is reveled that Perry single handedly killed the entire Clutter family, which is most likely the time when Dick made “the discovery” that there might be something wrong with Perry. Capote hid his foreshadowing very well, so that it is often only found once the

    Perry’s appropriator behavior revealed her ignorance. And because of this, her "Geisha-style" performance has deepened people's misunderstanding to the geishas. Katy Perry neglected the origin meaning of geishas and alter the costumes unadvisedly, which expanded people’s mix of Chinese and Japanese culture. Furthermore, Katy Perry’s behavior misleads people. Most of the Westerns consider geishas as prostitutes because of the cultural difference. A typical example can be seen in the conversation between

    The Beauty Within The messages of Beyonce’s “Pretty Hurts” and Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful”, were both astonishing. The messages of the songs are often overlooked because of the images the artists portray on society. The two songs contained an ample amount of information to take away, and to use in everyday life. The two songs opened my eyes to how people who are different feel, and how they can be beautiful in their own way, even if it hurts them in the long run. The two messages should be
