When I lived in Australia, it took a long time to get used to things there. Not only were the basic things like electric outlets, the prongs on something electric, the toilet flushes, light switches and the side of the road you drive on different.... but the people were different as well.

Thoughts on John Updike’s Short Story “A & P”
The short story “A & P” by John Updike dealt with some very confusing internal conflicts, experienced by the main character named Sammy. I cannot say I admired Sammy for quitting in the end of the story. It seems a bit pointless to me why he quit. I can understand how Sammy was sick and tired of his mundane job. Many of us can relate to mundane aspects of jobs. Although he could’ve been more thankful that he had a job at all. However, as humans we gripe and complain and then make life changes compulsively. Many people can likely relate to Sammy at some point in their lives. I know I sure can, in some slightly different ways.

Political Standings Not Withstanding
A Message of Unity in Modern Political Division Across the United States, the country is divided by political views and beliefs. The level of division that currently exists in 2023, in fact, has not been seen in many decades, maybe even centuries. It could be argued that the USA has not been this divided since the days leading up to the civil war.

the Goode family is a show created by Beavis and Butthead creator Mike Judge. Gerald Goode is the husband and father who works at the local college as a professor, voiced by Mike Judge the same voice he had for another hippie teacher on Beavis and Butthead – David Van dReisen. On a sidenote, every other show, since Beavis and Butthead, where the voice receives, its own show, have all gone on to be successful shows.

"Though the Present Drowns in Blood": Johnny Got His Gun (1971)
The world is teetering, presently, on the edge of a vast precipice. The war in Israel, the bombing of Gaza, the new developments wherein Hezbollah and even Iran may become involved in a wider Middle Eastern conflict that threatens to pull in the United States, Russia, and China--these things are the new, grim reality that has exploded across the world stage since the barbaric terrorist attacks perpetrated by Hamas against 1,200 Israelis October 7th. World outrage has been focused so far on the brutal Israeli response. Likewise, the media propaganda machine is in full swing on behalf of the Israeli bombing of civilian targets in Gaza, in what can only be described as war crimes or crimes against humanity by the turning off of water, and electricity, the blockade of food, and medical supplies. Babies in incubators, in the hospitals (one of which was mysteriously shelled), will die when the power goes out. People are being told to flee. No one will accept them as refugees. They have nowhere to run that is safe as their neighborhoods and houses are reduced to rubble.
