Miley Cyrus and Ray Bradbury both understand this universal concept, for they show it in their texts, “The Climb” and “All Summer in a Day”. In “The Climb” Miley Cyrus sings this beautiful song about her struggle of overcoming a metaphorical mountain. In “All Summer in a Day”, kids live on Venus with their family, where the weather is in a constant state of rain. In both “The Climb” and “All Summer in a…

Reflective Writing Assessment – Scottish Weather I am sitting down in a warm, dry establishment, making an escape from the torrential downpour that was happening on the other side of the window. The place in which I have taken refuge sells coffee, hot chocolate and at this moment in my cold and dreary state the warmest, sweetest tea that my taste buds have had the pleasure of feeling. As my eyes gaze out of the raindrop covered glass, the pupils in my eyes are drawn towards a group of young…

Do you ever consider being in silence for a while, when you feel upset about your life? Sometimes I feel that way. You know even after everything goes well still there comes a moment when we look for peace in our life. We look for a quiet place where we can sit and think alone. It’s a feel-good way to spend some time with your soul only, to know our feelings a little more deeply. It helps us to Let go our deepest regrets. But often we struggle with it a lot.

I. Introduction Darkness is an empty word. At least it is until it has context and meaning thrust upon it. Film noir is a name given to a series of films which originated in the United States around the 1940s.

It was one of those days. The kind of day that was so hot, no one would want to leave their air conditioned homes, not even to go to work. But on those kinds of days, my family and I would decide to go on a trip. My brothers, Andrew and Alex, and I begged and begged my parents to take us to six flags basically ever since we could talk, and in the summer of 2004, they couldn’t take it anymore and packed us into the tan Ford Windstar started on our day trip to Six Flags. I was so excited I felt…

When I was little I thought the world would be a good place but really it’s not. My life isn’t perfect, but my parents always wanted the best for me. My family started drifting apart when I was in the fifth grade. Their divorce made a great impact on me. I had thought the divorce was just temporary because I would see my parents talk & hang out around home at times. But little did I know that they were discussing about how are we going to be a family & how the situation had affected my siblings…

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…
