¶ … Social Media Influence
Monday -- The night before, I browse different style bloggers on the web. So after having looked at Chiara Ferragni's Paris fashion week outfits, I want to start my week off with fashionable outfits. Monday is when I have class all day and see most of my friends. Thus, I set my alarm for extra early so I can take more time for my appearance as I start the week. Inspired by Ferragni, I made an extra effort to style myself by accessorizing my outfits with a hat and an over-sized scarf and lots of jewelry. I felt very comfortable and confident in my appearance: the extra effort paid off.
DAY 2 TUESDAY
Parents
Tuesday - My parents are visiting this week and they are a huge inspiration as everything they wear fascinates and inspires me. My mother has always been interested in fashion and has an effortless chic look to her; as for my father he always looks very dapper and smart. I always aim to please them. That is why I choose an oversized white shirt with tight black leggings and high thigh black boots. I also add an oversized red scarf to make my outfit look less serious and more youthful (they always joke how I dress too old for my age). I took time to choose this outfit as I have not seen them for a while and want to look presentable as they are visiting me in my new home. Moreover, these dress choices I make are all due to my heritage and cultural upbringing. For example, Arab women really take time in their appearance and hardly ever look scruffy.
DAY 3...
While trying them on in the store I was thrilled that I fit into the smallest size. After feeling really good about myself I wanted to wear them to dinner with my parents this evening; however, I just could not find the right pieces to match these trousers. They are a particular camel color, which is hard to match with different colors. As I wanted the outfit to look perfect, I decided to take them off and save them for another occasion. Instead, I wore my "safe" simple black pants.
DAY 4 THURSDAY:
Messy / work day
Thursday- I have been working all day and have not had the chance to even look at myself in the mirror. When I work I put on my most comfortable sweat pants but no matter how comfortable I am I always have to color coordinate my outfit. Even if I don't plan on seeing anyone, I can't help it: I have to coordinate. So I wore my loosest grey sweatpants and a baggy white t-shirt with white converse. I felt so comfortable as everything was a loose fit and nothing was clingy.
DAY 5 FRIDAY:
Friends Birthday
Friday-Today is my friend's birthday and we are all going for dinner and celebrating at a fun restaurant. I look in my evening section wardrobe and pick two dresses. First is a sparkly long-sleeved skin tight dress. However, as I try it on I realize it won't work: the last time I wore it was in…

Phoenix is however closer to a saint in her dedication to a cause, while Calixta is a human being who abandons herself at some point to the voice of desire and allows a few moments of surrender to the carnal pleasure that takes hold, regardless of her and her accidental companion's marital status.

Instead, her cancer diagnosis provided a catalyst for her to investigate the relationship between beauty, sexuality, and feminine power in America. The resulting discussion, and Lucas' affirmation that all women should be able to wear red lipstick, is extremely uplifting. One of the most interesting aspects of the book is that Lucas uses Marilyn Monroe, probably the preeminent example of American female sexuality, as an example throughout the book. Monroe
Worn Path by Eudora Welty "A Worn Path" is recognized as one of Welty's most illustrious and often studied works of what is considered to be short fiction. Illusorily simple in scope and tone and, the story is made to be very structured upon a journey theme that joins a rich worth of figurative significance. As stated by Alfred Appel, "A Worn Path' goes way beyond its decentralization for the reason

Religious Symbols be worn in Schools? Many parents and students were confused, when a school district in Nebraska stopped a 12 years old girl, Elizabeth Carey from wearing a necklace because it resembled a rosary. Rev. Joseph Taphorn said to press that "One ought to be able to figure out whether she's trying to promote a gang," he added. "If she's not, why would she be punished for her right
Short stories are poignant pieces of literature, as pithy and powerful as poetry but in a more straightforward and relatable package. Like poetry, a short story relies on literary devices like symbolism and imagery, characterization and setting, to convey the author’s themes. Also like poetry, the short story reflects the cultural and historical context in which it was written. While the canon of American literature is rich with examples of
