In the story “The Open Boat”, there are four men who are a captain, a cook, an oiler and a correspondent. They were in a tiny boat after their ship sank off the coast of Florida. At first, the crew thought they could be rescued because of the house for refuge and a couple of people showing on the beach. But the fact was cruel so that they were required to depend on themselves. So the captain decided to swim to shore when they still had the strength. In the end, everyone was rescued except the…

Victor Hugo once wrote: “Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise”. Grief never ends. It haunts and buren 's someone 's life for years. In M. L. Stedman’s The Light Between Oceans, grief, loss, and healing is a recurring theme in the novel, as all characters go through at least one devastating loss. Hannah’s husband has died, her daughter’s alive but not with her. Isabel and Tom have two miscarriages and a stillborn baby. These situations are hard for everyone to cope with, and…

Most high school kids play sports like baseball, basketball, football, or they are in some kind of after school activity. All of those sports and activities are awesome during school, but when summer came around there wasn’t much to do in my tiny town of Julian located in Central Pennsylvania. Instead of staying home all summer and twiddling my thumbs day in and day out. When I was fifteen I decided that I wanted to try something different I wanted to get into the sport of riding bucking horses…

When I heard the idea of writing a proposal, in order to get money to improve some part of campus, I was fairly excited and eager to start the assignment. But I soon realized that this assignment would be harder than I had expected. The hardest part for me was trying to figure out something to fix on campus with the allotted $10,000. It became very apparent that this was not a lot of money, and most things would go way over budget in order to be practical and to make a difference. The other hard…

Your emotions play a huge role in ever day life and are what makes us human. Emotions are not on a set schedule, and happen in various ways, for various reasons. In The Story of an Hour, Mrs. Mallard goes through the stages of grief in the time span of an hour. This is very interesting due to the fact that, for most of us, it usually takes a span from at least days, to months, to even years to fully go through the stages of grief. I believe that Chopin’s story is centered on time and emotions by…

I don’t know anyone who likes the feeling of being rejected. I know for me it has probably been one of the hardest feelings in my life to deal with. Rejection goes to the very core of who we are as human beings. I believe of all the emotions we can experience it is probably one of the most devastating and painful emotions we can feel. Some people are more sensitive to rejection than others. I happen be one of those people whom having suffered rejection early in life, carried a lot of that…

Choosing to do yoga as my behavioral change project was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made. After quitting color guard freshman year of high school, I stopped stretching; therefore, I was not flexible anymore. Color guard was also a way for me to get away from all my academics. Every year, I would attempt to stretch as I did back in high school, but failed to do so. Every day, I will encounter something that will cause me to stress out, even if it is something little. When I…

Ignorance is bliss, many people today use this phrase as a means to vindicate their actions and validate their simple and close-minded way of thinking. Whether you 've heard the phrase used in those exact words or nor does mean that you have never heard it at all. This phrase has been twisted and warped into a series of much smaller and more rationalized forms such as, “he or she doesn 't know any better”, or perhaps, “how was I supposed to know?” or my personal favorite “well everyone else is…
