Gazelle

I got to see the great Nacho Lebra, a night I will truly never forget. I won front row box seats on the radio a month ago. I usually think luck is a myth but right then I had to be one of the luckiest kids in the world. Tickets like this cost almost three thousand dollars and I got two for free. Thousands of people were trying to win these tickets but I was the winner, imagine the odds of that! The day has finally come; the great Nacho Lebra is boxing John Cena, he is one out of the ten most…

Mummies, pyramids, tombs. All three of these icons of death are associated with ancient Egypt. This was a deeply religious society obsessed with death and the continuation of life in the afterlife. As such, many steps were taken to preserve the body and possessions of the dead as they journeyed to the Duat (underworld) in death. These steps included mummification of the body, storage of household objects, jewelry, and whatever possessions were deemed necessary for the next life. However,…

She is no saint, she was a sadistic, masochist and vile woman who denied proper medical care for the poor while she got the best medical care, but instead siphoned those millions of dollars in donations to the catholic church. She wanted the poor to I have heard of enough noise today, many of which chastise our group for pushing through with the impeachment complaint against Leni Robredo. The short of it is that we are being divisive and we are going to distract government from focusing on…

I have learned many things from my experience of being in two extreme countries. I experienced life in Africa, where I saw people were struggling to make a living, people living in extreme poverty. On the contrary, I experienced life in America where people were living a wasteful life. But I believe that we meet the poor and the rich everywhere. Which category of life do we belong to? Are we poor or rich? Throughout my life in Africa I have seen a lot of horrible situations that the poor were…

Acinonyx Jubatus Venaticus. Now you must be saying, “Wow, that’s one heck of a name, and what does it mean exactly?”. This is Latin for Cheetah, and the word Acinonyx takes the defining term of “non-retractable claw”. If you are interested in learning more about the marvelous cheetah and all about its lifestyle and everyday activities it partakes in, then I would suggest you keep reading on. The cheetah being not the fastest animal on land is questionable. There are many things that can give…

Sweat drips down their backs as they trudge across the dry, crusted ground. A lion roars in the distance, declaring its triumphant victory over a wandering gazelle. The African Veldt is so hot, so vivid, so real. Only it is not real is it? It is all an illusion performed by the stunning 4D technology of the nursery. “The Veldt” centers around the characters George, Lydia, and their children Peter and Wendy. This family lives in a home that does everything for them, including cleaning, cooking,…

The personality trait anxiousness seems to have a genetic component. Individuals with that have different biological and behavioral variations of the serotonin-transporter-linked-promotor region (5HTTLPR) genotypes indicate that it’s the cause of differential biological stress reactivity. Different people becoming anxious and reacting to stress differently because of a genotype shows that there’s a strong nature component. “Susceptibility to stress may have biological roots, especially in the…

Remembrance and Recognition. As Camara Laye once said “all dancers have a cumulative tendency because each beat of the Tom-Tom has an almost irresistible appeal. Soon those who were just spectators would dance too.” People enjoy learning about others and even expressing what their own lives are like. All of the stories, which take place in Senegal and Guinea. Given the region, the writing is different than America’s poetry. The poems in question are “Prayer to the Mask, Letter to a Poet,…

The anticipation on the line was killing me. I knew if this line would slowly drag me along any longer I would chicken out and regret not going on the ride. All I could watch was the bright green car speeding down the track faster than a gazelle being chased by a hawk. The bright yellow sun against the light blue sky was blinding me, making the car go out of view for a moment, then seeing it already at the top. The only thing that I could think of was the giant, green, vertical drop that…

Although The Epic of Gilgamesh primarily details the exploits and adventures of its title character, the two-thirds god and one-third mortal King of Uruk, Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh’s friend and companion, Enkidu, is also central throughout the course of the epic. In the beginning of the epic, the goddess Aruru fashions Enkidu from clay, so as to create a counterweight against Gilgamesh’s rapaciousness and brutish strength. While Enkidu does initially serve almost as a foil of sorts to Gilgamesh, they…
