and sentiments. For instance, Dickens portrays the dehumanizing nature of society through relevant characters when he illustrates, “Those who had been greedy with the staves of the cask, had acquired a tigerish smear about the mouth; and one tall joker so besmirched, his head more out of a long squalid bag of a night-cap than in it, scrawled upon a wall with his finger dipped in muddy wine-less –BLOOD” (Dickens 32). This is intriguing as it displays the savage-like features the civilization had…
In everyone’s life, there will be trials they will undergo. Revelation 2:10 says, “Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life. A great number of people are able to persevere through the trials they face and continue living their lives. When faced with trials later in these people’s lives, they are…
One of Robin William’s most memorable quotes comes from the movie “The World’s Greatest Dad” when he tells a talk show audience that “Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem." We find it ironic that Williams, who has made the world laugh, saw no other way of solving his own problems and most sadly, took his own life this week. Williams, one of the most respected and talented actors of our time was well known for his humorous and inspiring roles such as a woman in Mrs. Doubt fire,…
The fire service is more than that “cool place, with the big red truck that makes loud noises and spits water out” The fire service plays a big role in our society to this day. Without the fire service who would put out the fire that you made when you tried to make microwave noodles and forgot to put the water in. The fire service dates to the Rome some 2,000 years ago. They had people roam around the city and sound the alarm if a fire were ever to occur. These people that were selected were…
It’s really funny thinking back about how it all began. A kid with no experience whatsoever of Parkour attempted one of the higher level tricks and succeeded. It was hot, the sun was bright and my clothes were sticking to my red body. My palms were sweating, was it nervousness? No, it was excitement, or it could just have been the furious heat of the fiery orb we called a sun. Maybe I was overthinking things and being overly cautious, but I look toward Shaggy and asked, “You sure I can do…

According to the National Institute on drug abuse, an estimated of 48 million people (aged 12 and…
Do you know what a Hacker is? Everyone says that Hackers are these no-lifes, who break the law, and exploit the government, by releasing their data. Let 's get something clear okay, not all hackers are fucking evil, its only the Black Hat Hackers, they are the ones who have given hackers a bad name. Almost everyone in my school, in Castle Rock says "Your a terrorist Daniel", or "Your gonna screw everything up, your gonna destroy the internet". Seriously? I 'm not a bad person, I may be able to…
Video Games, an ultraviolent medium of consuming mass amounts of desensitized violence, or at least this is what a lot of people like to say yet sometimes I feel this is like an old man yelling about those kids and their fancy new technology, having no respect for the old times. These new video games haven’t harmed the masses by causing America’s egregious amount of mass shooting but the scapegoat has decidedly been video games because they are a new medium and people are scared of the unholy…

“without cause” to “No animals shall kill any other animal.” “Ha ha charade you are,” is the reaction when the so called president says he will do what is best for us. In reality he is doing what he wants and also using alternative facts. “Almosta joker,” is priceless when hearing about our leader knowing that what he says are a bunch of…
