Literary- is a piece of written material such as book, or poems that has the
purpose of telling a story or entertaining, as in a fictional novel. Its primary
function as a text is usually aesthetic, but it may also contain political messages or
beliefs .

Informational- is nonfictional writing, written with the intention of informing the

reader about a specific topic. They are written using special text features that allow
the reader to easily find key information and understand the main topic.

Kabuki (歌舞伎) is a classical Japanese dance-drama. Kabuki theatre is
known for the stylization of its drama and for the elaborate make-up worn
by some of its performers.
The individual kanji, from left to right, mean sing (歌), dance (舞),
and skill (伎). Kabuki is therefore sometimes translated as "the art of
singing and dancing". These are, however, ateji characters which do not
reflect actual etymology. The kanji of 'skill' generally refers to a performer
in kabuki theatre. Since the word kabuki is believed to derive from the
verb kabuku, meaning "to lean" or "to be out of the ordinary", kabuki can
be interpreted as "avant-garde" or "bizarre" theatre.[1] The
expression kabukimono (歌舞伎者) referred originally to those who were
bizarrely dressed. It is often translated into English as "strange things" or
"the crazy ones", and referred to the style of dress worn by gangs of
samurai.

Madame Mathilde Loisel has always imagined herself an aristocrat, despite being born
into a lower-middle-class family (which she describes as an "accident of fate"). She
marries a low-paid clerk who tries his best to make her happy but has little to give.
Through lots of begging at work, her husband is able to get an invitation for the both of
them to the Ministry of Education party. Mathilde refuses to go, for she has nothing to
wear, and wishes not to be embarrassed.

Say NO to Bullying
We are living in a world where some people think that violence is the only reason to
solve every problem. If people keep this violence around us, it’s not going to get
better. Violence has been in this world for centuries now and for the same causes, to
gain power of authority. Kids in schools feel superior to others by calling other kids
horrible names and making fun of them. Men hit women so they can “earn” their
respect back. The point is that violence won’t make you a better person, it will make
you a monster and nobody likes a monster.

The Parable of the Prodigal Son

11
And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. 12 And the younger of them said
to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he
divided his property between them. 13 Not many days later, the younger son gathered
all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property
in reckless living.14 And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that
country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to[a] one of
the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. 16 And he was
longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything.
