    She saw where she had started up ahead of her, where the mold needed smell wasn’t as terrible as it was before. When she came to the opening, she saw that the children that were not there with her to begin with were standing together and not running. Some were getting yelled at, but they didn’t say a word in response as if they were unable to speak, and Blur knew that they were. There weren't very any children that decided not to run, but it was enough to be noticeable. Blur looked around her at the children who hadn’t noticed what was going on and were still moving, at how they moved along as if nothing happened at all. Blur looked back at the children who were standing with their arms crossed and with stubborn looks on their faces, and she knew then that they were probably doing this on purpose and they weren’t held back from anything. What she also noticed was how The Yellers weren’t even reacting too terribly to this. In fact, the more she thought about it, there were fewer Yellers around the path than there usually were. She thought that they must be doing something else, like going to where the adults were to get more of them. Yes, that had to be it, or there was a meeting of some kind that was happening between all of them. That would make sense considering the fact that so many things happened the day before and they had to be thinking about what they were going to do in response to it other than the punishments that they thought of before. That had to be it… When…

    First, a confession: Prior to taking this class, I was not attentive with understanding the requirements, so I will not pretend otherwise. As a student who didn’t enroll in college until my mid-thirties for reasons besides desire or ability to learn, most classes I’ve taken thus far have been very interesting to me. This one I must say, had me challenged, but not in a way I enjoy. Within my professional development, I have worked in operations and logistics for nearly two decades, but lack…

    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…

    Although a lot of stories may differ in a lot of ways, the key components always stay the same. A writer must have a good set of characters, a good plot, a good theme, and all the things of that nature. Every person may have a different idea of what makes a particular story “interesting” to them, and keeps them wanting to go back and read the story more and more. For a person like me, I would have to say that the theme of the story can really keep interest. A theme that can truly resonate beyond…

    The Seated Boxer is a bronze Hellenistic sculpture created in around 100bc. I attribute this work to the Hellenistic period of Greek art. Sculptors of this period concentrated on depicting male athletes just as what the Seated Boxer is. Emotion in Classical Greek art was merely expressed through simple gesture, a technique that contrasts with the style of Hellenistic sculpture. In Hellenistic art, advancement of skilled led to emotion being portrayed vividly through the detailed work of art.…
