Apple Pie vs Pumpkin Pie

During Thanksgiving last week, we got to spend some precious time with our families enjoying some of the most delicious food. Everybody has their own favorite thanksgiving dishes including stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes, and the most controversial dessert: pie. There is always the notorious battle of pumpkin pie versus apple pie. Although pumpkin pie and apple pie are both delicious fruit pies, apple pie is more flavorful and can be paired well with other toppings, making it the better pie. 


Similarly, pumpkin pie and apple pie are two delicious pies with fruit fillings. However, they have very different flavors. Apple pie is tangy and fruity, while pumpkin pie is more creamy and bland. Apple pie has just the right amount of tartness, while pumpkin pie can sometimes be overwhelmingly sweet. The textures are also very different. Pumpkin pie is too mushy and soft for me, while apple pie filling is soft, but still firm with distinct pieces of apple in it. 


Also, apple pie can be paired with many other sweets to make it even more enjoyable. For example, warm apple pie with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top is one of the best desserts ever. The tart and warm apple pie (which is already superior) combined with the creamy and cold vanilla ice cream (which is also one of the best) makes a top tier dessert because of how delicious and versatile the apple pie is. It can also be baked with a crumble topping, which adds a nice crunchy and buttery aspect to the pie. Lastly, it can be paired with a drizzle of caramel because the pie itself isn’t too sweet, so the caramel adds a creamy and sweet touch to the pie. Pumpkin pie on the other hand, can only be enjoyed with a few things like whipped cream. However, these items don’t take the dessert to the next level, like apple pie and it’s toppings. 


Although apple pie and pumpkin pie are both delicious fruit-filled pies, apple pie is the distinguishable winner because of its flavor and versatility. Next Thanksgiving or the next time you have to choose between one of these pies, make sure you keep in mind all the advantages of apple pie.

He Love Me, He Loves Me Not

In my opinion, although she comes from a higher class, Othello clearly has more power in his marriage to Desdemona. She aims to please him and even pleads to him her unconditional love on her deathbed. It is evident that Desdemona loves Othello, but does Othello genuinely reciprocate her feelings?  Othello loves Desdemona’s physical appearance. He loves her fair skin and innocence, they definitely have physical attraction and banter. He also loves how greatly she recognizes his story. She truly thinks of him as a hero, as someone who has conquered great faults and achieved considerable success. However, he could love his own honor even more. This is confirmed when he strangles her to protect his own image after hearing mere accusations of unloyalty. But does his love go beyond self-fulfillment? I would argue that Othello’s love does go deeper than the surface level. He loves her heart and mind. He loves and respects that Desdemona could have had so much more if she married in her own s

  First and foremost, I would like to thank my family. Thank you mom and dad for listening to me complain about English class (just kidding) and brag about my essay grades (not kidding). Also, thanks to my older brother Frank for staying awake with me on even the latest nights and the earliest mornings. Your ability to never sleep has kept my GPA alive!  Next, I would like to thank a few of my 2nd hour Valentino friends. Julia, Charlotte, and Hailey, you have all brightened my 2nd hour. No matter if it’s shooting looks at each other from across the room or making funny comments under our breaths, you have all made this class even more enjoyable!  I would also like to thank these blog posts. They have motivated me to actually do some thinking on weekends (even if it is usually Sunday morning). I truly believe I have become a better writer by just jotting down some of my thoughts each week. The consistency of my writing has improved tremendously as well as my style and organization. A bi

4 Reasons Why People Hate Poetry

  4 Reasons Why People Hate Poetry: One of the most significant reasons why people hate poetry is because they simply do not understand it. Poetry can be very abstract and use language that is not familiar to the reader. We like to read concrete material that we can easily understand. This can make it difficult for some people to comprehend what the poet is trying to convey, leading to feelings of frustration and confusion.  Another reason why people hate poetry is that they feel that it is outdated and no longer relevant to our current society. Poetry has been around for centuries, and some people might view it as something that is stuck in the past, and has no relevance in the present day. In a fast-paced and technologically advanced world, many people might feel that poetry is simply not important or useful, and that it is a waste of time to read or write it. For some people, the dislike of poetry might stem from personal experiences. For example, we have all had a bad experience wi
