If God is good, why evil? If God is all-good (omnibenevolent), all-powerful (omnipotent), and all-knowing (omniscient), why does evil occur? These are the questions most suffering people ask concerning God. Most of the time, we blame God for our pain, sorrow, grief, and distress that happen to us. The question that come in our mind is why me? Last Wednesday, I was on call. When the nurse called me, she informed me about a woman who was lying on the hospital bed while her daughter is…

The walk home from the local football club was dark. Simple as that. It was a clear winter night, and there was no moon in the sky. The only relief from the darkness was the occasional streetlight. The cold air was refreshing on my body, warm from the copious amount of alcohol I had consumed tonight. Georgia wasn’t going to be happy. She thinks my drinking is a bad influence on the kids. She doesn’t want them to grow up like me. That’s always a comforting thing to hear from your wife. I know it…

I want to be able to be in control of the type of music and the volume of music played in my car. I need to convince Andrew Dennis Moore to stop controlling the music when he rides in my car. I will discuss the issue outside my locked car. I will begin the discussion after school, because I usually give him a ride to his job after school. True friendship to me is a relationship that cannot be broken or damaged by a disagreement, but in return is made stronger and closer than before. My dear…

If you asked me "What was your best day ever and why?”, My response wouldn 't be filled with a spectacular event, happiness, and great things happening around me; it would be an average day of my life ending with a realization of my true beauty. Have you ever seen these products:lipstick, eyeliner,mascara, hair extensions, lingerie, skin bleaching, plastic surgery and etc. All these products are seeing on your television screen in the form of commercials promoting them for women. All these…

The “Best Years of Your Life” My life is a bit different from what we call “normal”. While most teens my age were going to school dances, kicking it with their boyfriends or killing it on the sports field. I on the other hand was in a hospital bed trying to feel somewhat normal. I just have to say that it wasn’t always like this for me. I was once your normal teen, talking to guys, destroying the soccer field and going out and partying on the weekends. That only lasted for a short time tho. And…

Taking care of people has always been my passion ever since I was a little girl. Every time my mother and I would have to go to the grocery store I always love to pick out the things we needed and helped my mother to put the groceries up. I even used to try to help the bagger if there was a bagger with the groceries, even if they were too heavy for me. As I got older I kept that same helping attitude. I helped out in as many ways as I could by volunteering downtown to feed the homeless, I even…

In the story The Odyssey by Homer, Odysseus is a self-centered warrior who feels as if he will never face defeat. Odysseus’ men are also selfish and constantly make decisions based on the well-being of themselves and with total disregard for others. However, throughout their journey amongst the many islands of Greece, they learn to be more humble and they realize that life isn’t always about winning. Odysseus and his men learn to be humble by making mistakes, having bad consequences, and…

Have you ever stopped for a second to analyze your life? Many times when someone struggles, it is because of their outlook. Being negative about the obstacles that are faced in life is no way to get by. Taking a second to analyze, and possibly regroup, is never something that anyone should be ashamed of. I believe that with a positive outlook on life a person can do whatever they put their mind to. For the past few weeks, I have been going through an obstacle in life that has not been easy for…

storytelling, in that some things may be embellished and sometimes he interrupts his own story, but the point of it is to make us “feel the truth, to believe by the raw force of feeling” (70). O’Brien tests us by retelling the story of Curt Lemon’s death four times, four different ways, four different reactions. In one version, the detail is on Curt Lemon, in the next, only the basics are told, in the third, O’Brien’s experience is the focal point, and in the last, it’s about sunshine. O’Brien…
