    When I saw an assignment that personifies household objects, I just had to complete it. I am one of those people who talks to inanimate objects all the time, especially when I’m frustrated or excited, so the assignment “monologue of a household tool” is right up my alley. Instead of...

    January 25, 2015
    The Killers was not what I expected. The most I got out of it was the cultural implications about organized crime and Prohibition.
