What’s the songs, “Dirty Paws” …”my head was an animal and the dragon fly that ran away, but it came back with a story to say”. “The Boxer” that whole song basically….

A bit confusing if I say so myself, perhaps taking a different angle of trusting him to know if you were as amazing as I felt you were, to confirm it before I dove in. He was your business partner at the time. But this is also while you all were trying to help me what? Overcome my own issues... listed above. You even made it known you, yes you yourself were watching me, the morning we went to see his sister, I could easily count 2-3 times I’d see you solo driving.

    Within literature, the term “justice” is used and evaluated frequently. Justice is defined simply as “the maintenance or administration of what is [fair]” by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary; however, the interpretation of justice is often debated and never quite that simple. Separating moral actions from immoral ones may appear at first to be an uncomplicated task, yet the action depends solely on individual perspective and belief, which is usually unreliable. In Gene Luen Yang’s Boxers and Saints, Yang explores the concept of justice in a story set during the Boxer Rebellion. Throughout the graphic novels, Yang presents different viewpoints on how justice is not always served with the characters Yu, Chung, Vibiana and Mei-wen.…

    Fighter and Defiance are both films that portray a story of Jewish resistance during the Holocaust. Each of their stories present similarities in their representations of Jewish resistance. For example, they both involve characters that first find the desire to fight from their thirst for vengeance. They both also inadvertently make non-resistors seem less heroic than those who did fight. However, there are also differences and I will mention one; Fighter goes into further depth on establishing the difference between a fighter and a non-fighter by contrasting both of their experiences during the war, and by demonstrating the long term effects of the war on each of them.…

    Editor, Harvard graduate, editor again, reporter, war fighter, writer. It does not seem coincidental that after being stationed in France during World War I, that Richard Connell began writing short stories, of men fighting each other and intimidating each other, as shown in “The Most Dangerous Game” and “The Cage Man”. One of Connell’s most famous short stories, “The Most Dangerous Game,” is about an intelligent man, Rainsford, who meets former General Zaroff. General Zaroff then proceeds to make Rainsford participate in a “game” in which Zaroff is the hunter and Rainsford is the hunted for three days or until Rainsford is killed. “The Cage Man” is written around a man named Horace Nimms, who originally handles the money as a cashier for the…
