The Seated Boxer is a bronze Hellenistic sculpture created in around 100bc. I attribute this work to the Hellenistic period of Greek art.

Oblivion isn’t what scares me; it’s not the loss of my own life in which I fear it’s the loss of the lives around me.

I’ve always been sensitive to death…

However, if you’re ever tired, this album has some relaxing music too. In the band, there are two men named Guy Manwell Decristo and Thomas Bangualtor. The two guys play bass, drums,…
"Mum, I HATE salad, I don 't want to eat salad!!" He says as he slams his hands down on the dining table. The youngest is hardly getting any attention because the oldest is throwing an epic tantrum over something that he hasn 't even tried yet. It 's really not uncommon in our house. I try to keep my calm. "Don 't focus on the things you don 't want to eat, focus on the things you do want to eat. Maybe start with some chicken." I say as I turn his plate so that the chicken is in his face and…
My inquiry project conveys how the good life portrayed on social media is so easy to fake, but these unreachable goals push people to try and reach these impossible levels of perfection. My inquiry project is a combination of photos showing how easily I can change myself to influence what other people think of me. Through social media I can show the world any version of myself I want to, even a fake made up version. Clothes, makeup, good photographers, good backdrops, etc. are all things that…
Tim O’Brien’s novel The Things They Carried is a story with seemingly no plot, however, upon closer look you will realize that this novel is filled with many reoccurring themes and patterns that give the novel a much deeper meaning. The last 3 chapters have a way of tying the book together with the beginning and give meaning to the questions he poses about what a true war story is. The three main patterns present throughout this novel are the concepts of war and life as a soldier being…

CHAPTER SIX The Enchanted Amulet Morning brought heavy clouds of chocolate-colored dust and whipping winds, gloomy weather that made it hard to remain hopeful. “Off on another adventure, eh?” Cotton coughed, as he vaulted over a dust devil. “This is exciting. Just you and me on a quest to track down the golden key.” “I just hope we can find it soon. This stuff is awful,” I choked. “I even have grit between my teeth.” “What’d you say?” he shouted. “You’re a pit beneath my wreath. What does that…
Hey. Happy birthday! I hope you 've been having a great summer so far and it 'll be even better after your 17th!
