The Doors were an American band formed in Los Angeles in 1965. They created  a unique sound that was very different from any other band at the time. The band was a creative vehicle for Jim Morrison whose feeling of alienation and love for poetry created the band’s powerful lyrics.

“ If you want to capture someone’s attention, whisper”. -TV commercial for Nuance by Coty, 1977 In our everyday life, we use several different types of speech.

“We garner this poor hour of ease, Until love turn from us and die Beneath the drear November trees.” Ernest Dowson Autumn, especially its latter months like November, are the time for us to tie loose threads and prepare for upcoming stoicity.

It has been claimed that November moves quietly between the warmth of fading colours and the approaching chill of winter. Whispers drift through the air, and beneath the falling leaves, something inside us changes. As the days shorten, the world slows in a way that makes us overthink certain aspects. There is no doubt that this season causes us to feel deeply, perhaps in ways we are unable to truly explain. We may ask ourselves: ‘Why does this season affect us that much? How

Every person who has ever been to a fast food place knows the torture that is drinking from a paper straw.

One thought repeats itself in your head over and over. “I have too much work, November is such a hard month”. Too many assignments, everything starts p

By four o’clock the day is already slipping away when I leave school and the sky is red along the horizon, smoke held in the cold air like a breath no one lets go. I think of fire, of firemen who burn houses, books, ideas. No one shouts. No one protests. Somewhere there is only a whisper, thin as a page, carrying a book out of the blaze. I read “Fahrenheit 451” in November. It’s a small excuse for a theme, maybe, but the world outside matched the pages inside. The colours of

It is inevitable that we live in a world of extremes as well as abundance. When it comes to what we are exposed to through the Internet, a hidden message is passed on to us that we need more.
