The salt air of the ocean still soothed Solomon even in death. It brought back alive distant memories of life that once was. Only history books have an idea of what life was like back then, or others like him that still walked the Earth.
Shrouded in perfect darkness he could see everything clearly in black and white. Billions of stars peppered the sky with ripples of the galaxy overhead like spilt milk. A wave crashing upon the shore ran across the sand far enough to nudge the tip of his combat boot as if reminding him not to idle too long.

After that story whoever was telling the story would make up a silly story usually about a blue or green man with a giraffe that went traveling and exploring (I have no clue why).…

    I gathered my satchel, umbrella and notepad to start my exploration of Oahu's Byodo-In Temple. I shoved a crumpled green wad of paper at a man sitting in a small booth near the entrance. He took my money and gave me a half-smile. I found my way to the bridge that crossed a small creek of muddy, water that was swelling from the many days of rain we had in the past few days. While partially crossing the bridge, I stopped mid-stroll in amazement of the grand structure that was beore me.…

    For two weeks, I stayed in Charleston, South Carolina. I didn’t know much about the place, except that I referred to it as an army town because that’s where my sister and her husband, who was in the military, stayed. I was reluctant to go, but Charleston had a lot to offer me; a new change of pace and some new scenery was much more satisfying than spending the two weeks stuck in Iowa doing the same old routine. The weather was mystical in Charleston.…

    Song of Solomon is a richly textured novel in which Toni Morrison uses poetic language as well as a variety of literary devices to ultimately make her novel unique and with a certain level of depth. The passage above is particularly interesting because it incorporates many of the literary devices that Morrison uses such as metaphors, similes, oxymoron, allusions, and a variety of imageries. The excerpt also reveals Macon Dead’s personality through the other characters and his role in the household. This type of narrative, where the characters are discovered mainly through the other characters, is consistent throughout the whole novel. Ruth's character, for example, was shown to be isolated from the black community and thought of as a wanna-be white women from the appearance of the others and their actions during Mr. Smith’s suicide leap.…

    Many Christians today struggle to define the right relationship with God. We often do not believe that we need to follow God’s instructions or the words from the chose prophets in the Old Testaments. Old testaments were written many centuries ago. Christians nowadays often conclude that the instructions and words of God from the Old testaments are too old to be reflected with their daily Christian living in 21st centuries.
