Set in a noncanonical setting of a Miss Universe pageant, “Miss Speaking” is a short story that addresses the central question of what it means to be human and the dangers of conformity. These themes are also prevalent in 1984. Throughout the course, we have discussed the definition of being human in a multitude of different contexts, but arguably the most important human characteristic is the ability to make connections with others.

Artillerie is a portrayal of one of the many spiritual conflicts between God and the author’s soul, it exhibits many of the typical characteristics of Herbert’s poems, and it ends on the dominant themes of Herbert’s poetry: submission of his will to God’s.

When I decided to become a Veterinary Technician, I anticipated working in a veterinarian office. Approximately one year ago, I began volunteering for the Denver Dumb Friends League at the Buddy Center in Castle Rock. This experience has led me to consider working in a shelter instead of a vet office. A shelter is not necessarily the easiest place to work, and I have

Animal Cruelty Investigator What I Knew Being an Animal Cruelty Investigator has been something that has interested me for a long time since I came across the show “Animal Cops.” I know a few things about this career.

It is to be

In the past couple of decades, populist ideas spread through all of Latin America. First, Cuba adopted these ideals with the arrival of Fidel Castro to power in 1959. Then, Hugo R. Chavez adopted Cuban ideals in Venezuela in 1998. Since Venezuela adopted populism, it spread quickly throughout countries in South America. All of the countries that adopted populism deteriorated throughout the years reaching a point of social unrest. Populist governments like Chavism are prejudiced to the country and

As we know Venezuela is a paradise of natural resources; making the export of oil and its derivatives the base of its economy.
