Arts & Humanities > Thoughts on Writing Fan fiction explained
4 of 22

INTRODUCTION To begin, I have written fanfiction for over two years now, so from both the fanfiction author and reader's point of view, I hope this will help explain what fanfiction is to those of you who are unfamiliar with it. Fanfiction is a genre of writing where fans of a book, movie, or TV show write stories based on th... More..

Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: The Golden Compass
7 of 15

Despite the star studded cast with Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, "The Golden Compass" was sadly a disappointment. The main downfall of this movie was the way the story was translated from the book onto the big screen. The world of "The Golden Compass" is parallel to that of our own. People's souls reside in animals called "... More..

Relationships & Family > Romance & Sexuality A study says students with higher IQs are less likely to be sexually activeSmallicon
26 of 53

I disagree with this statement because I think there is a misinterpretation whenever we hear the phrase "IQ". Having a high IQ means that someone has a natural talent at analyzing information and memorizing it. Most people associate people with a high IQ with being "smart", therefore they will not make "stupid" choices such a... More..

Food & Drink > Drinks (Other) What is your favorite beverage?
32 of 62

I drink water most of the time and only occasionally have a flavoured beverage or fruit juice. However, if I had to choose one absolute favourite of mine, it would have to be Minute Maid Lemonade. I first tried this drink back when I was in grade six. At my elementary school, we would have a hot dog sale every Tuesday and by... More..

Style & Beauty > Body Image Breast size as a fashion statement?
5 of 9

I think that the answer to this question is both yes and no. Breast size itself doesn't represent fashion in the sense of a style that reflects a woman's personality. Breast size is something that people use as deciding factors of what kind of person a woman is just like how everyone subconscious or consciously judges people... More..

Arts & Humanities > Literature (Other) Should books have ratings like movies to warn parents about inappropriate content?Smallicon
62 of 74

I personally do not feel that there is a need for books to have ratings such as PG-13 and R like movies do. The reason is simply that if an eight year old child picks up a books with PG-13 content and reads it, he or she most likely would not understand the more advanced language in the book anyways. So having government age... More..

Food & Drink > Fast Food Should I be eating that fast food?
23 of 25

Ahh fast food, I remember back when I was a little kid and I always looked forward to heading off to McDonalds for the Happy Meal with the burger, fries, Coke, and the cool toy. I still have a shoebox filled with these toys in the back of my closet somewhere. Later, a speaker in Business Education class revealed to us that M... More..

Arts & Humanities > British Literature Should Harry Potter consider Professor Snape more of a friend or a foe? Smallicon
15 of 16

After eagerly finishing "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" to the last page and last word, I have concluded that Professor Snape is in fact a "good guy" for many reasons. First of all, when Snape heard that Voldemort would harm Lily Potter, Harry's mother, he went to Dumbledore and became a spy for the Order of the Phoen... More..

Style & Beauty > Body Care Product reviews: Lush Cosmetics Bubble Bars
3 of 3

Before I begin discussing what I think of Lush Bubble Bars, one thing must be made clear: bubble bars are solid bubble baths and are one of Lush's specialty products. They can be used by crumbling the bar up into fine pieces and focusing water pressure on the pieces to produce bubbles. I have worked as a Sales Associate at Lu... More..
