Mount Saint Joseph
This story was created before I even attended middle school. I’ve only presented it to a select few of my friends, and family. I’d worked hard to fix many of the errors and problems wrong with it. This will be the first time showcasing it to someone or a group of people I am not acquainted with or know

    Reflective Essay: The Chicago Theatre

    “Chicago,” I said, as we drove past the Chicago Theatre. I read every word that my eyes could catch as we sped down the attractive streets of downtown Chicago. I was not sure where my driver was taking me, but I knew that I did not want to be in the car with this mean old woman anymore. She was my new caseworker, Ms. Jordan, and she was in charge of finding me a family. My old caseworker was Ms. Kelly, she was nice and she always made me feel loved.…

    Personal Narrative: Half Dome

    The neighborhood was noiseless, and the sky was pitch black, for there had been no moon on that summer morning in June. My mother and father started our car and waited for Sofia,my sister, sean ,my friend, and me to get inside. It was time to leave our dull suburban home in San Jose, and drive to the beloved National Park, Yosemite, to hike Half Dome. On the car ride there I had slept, but awoke right when we had gotten into the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Looking outside of the window and noticing all of the evergreen trees was surreal for me, as I rolled down my window a strong smell of pine and fresh air poured into the car.…

    Nathan Englander's The Urge Of Unbearable Desires

    This first story I wanted to focus on my writing. I always find it difficult coming up with a story for my readers to read and follow. I tried to set the plot as my second concern, and write good sentences and put into practice what I’ve learned. Lately I’ve been writing weird, dream like stories. One of the biggest feedbacks I got from this last year with a different story was to let the readers know ahead of time what is going on.…

    Mt. Pinatubo Case

    On June 15, 1991, Mt. Pinatubo erupted. Volcanologists successfully predicted the eruption and issued a warning ahead of time, which allowed minimal casualties. The stakes for failing to predict an eruption accurately are high. If one fails to predict an eruption and it happens then lives and property can be lost; however, if one does predict and eruption and it does not happen then one’s personal reputation can be damaged or destroyed. In the case of Mt. Pinatubo, the U.S. volcanologists weighed four pieces of evidence prior to recommending immediate evacuation for Clark military base and the surrounding area.…

    Who Is The Flyer In Darren Shan's Cirque Du Freak

    The book that I did my project on is “Cirque Du Freak”, by Darren Shan and the book tells a story about a boy named Darren and how he came across the circus that changed his life. For the book project, I made the flyer that was used in the story to influence Darren and his friends into deciding to go to the circus. This flyer has a lot of importance in this story because this flyer is what convinced Darren to go to the circus and see the performance. One day, Darren’s friend named Alan came across the flyer that he had stolen from his brother to show the group the circus act that was coming to town. The circus act was called, “The Cirque Du Freak”, and they were going to perform one night only in an abandoned building across town.…

    Analysis Of Mt Rushmore

    Monuments are delicate topics in the sense that one may find reason to see it not be built. Thus, there are factors for a group or agency should consider in memorializing an event or person and in creating a monument, those factors being: will it take away the main purpose of the monument, is there any reason this monument should not be one and can it easily be threatened? Source C discusses the possibility of putting up a monument that perhaps should not be one. Namely, Mount Rushmore. As the author of the document states: “It was bad enough that white men drove the Sioux from hills they still hold sacred; did they have to carve faces all over them too?”…

    The way I express my creative side is different than most other peoples. While most people play an instrument or are artistically inclined, I prefer to write stories.

These videos are what has inspired me to write scripts and hopefully one day I can turn them into one of these professionally made videos that have become so popular.…

    A Postcard From The Volcano Analysis

    With every year and every day that passes nothing seems to change, we think and believe that everything is exactly the same from the year before. But as the years go by does anything actually remain the same? Do we still communicate the same way we did just yesterday or are we just aloof to the past/history? A Postcard from the Volcano by Wallace Stevens’s emphasis the importance of language, the importance of observing and remembering the people who have left a mark in what language is now. The poem mentions mansions, children, the bones left behind, the way things are seen and felt, and literate despair.…
