Gregor Samsa wakes up one rainy morning from unsettling dreams and he find that he has completely transformed into a giant bug. Gregor’s mother, father, and office manager from work are all outside of his door worried about him because he didn’t make it to work this morning. Learning how to use his new body and make his way to the door, Gregor finally manages to open the door with his mouth and allows everyone to see him. At this sight, the office manager is frightened and leaves the house, the…

She stayed inside for three days. Drifting in and out of restless sleep, she was haunted by violent images of nameless men on another alien planet a lifetime ago, mixing with the fresh assault far more painful. She got out of bed only to eat something, anything, it didn't matter because she didn't taste the food. She was startled by every unexpected sound, flinched at every shadow she didn't identify. Then one morning, she woke up with a clearer head and realized she was not this woman. Afraid…

My life has had a series of ups and downs. Fortunately, I have managed to remain above myself through it all. After taking a step back and observing the obstacles that have led me to where I am today, I can safely say that I wouldn’t have changed a thing. However, my thoughts of my own self appearance have not always been a beneficial factor in the role of each obstacle that I have faced. Since I was young, I have had to grow up faster than most. My stages of life almost seemed to accelerate…

importantly to inspect his home, he didn't want broken. He picked up some food on the way home for him and some ingredients for Ed. There was a nice store a few minutes from his house. He opened the door to find an intact house, Al on one of the single chairs, with a book he raided from Roy's study and Ed lying on his stomach on the couch.…

EV-516 woke up right on time, the way she always did, at least, the way she always did since the operation. Her eye scanners flickered bright colors back and forth, sending information to her eyes and into her brain. She stood, dressed, and walked out of the boarding house rhythmically, in the same pattern she did everything. Every move that EV made was to the beat of the ticking sound that transmitted to every aspect of her being. It was constant, not even ceasing when she slept. The…

What would happen if you penned an entire record between the hours of 12 and 4 in the morning? We’re about to find out, because Melbourne five piece The Paper Kites literally crafted their sophomore album twelvefour when the rest of the world was asleep. “The album is a concept record, based around a theory that an artist's creative peak is between the hours of midnight and 4am,” says frontman Sam Bentley. The result is a collection of 10 tracks, mixing the introspection of the night with…

Through Good and Evil In Reading Lessons, Scott Carpenter states “Structuralism is a multifaceted group of theories with varied and disparate goals” (27), explaining it is a collection of many theories and patterns which are not actually focus on a single goal but can be studied from any point of view. Structuralism doesn’t study the original purpose of creator but focus in the structure of the text or movie. Carpenter illustrates that “just because an author meant to communicate something in…

Ethics are the morals, or values of an individual. It is the line between right and wrong. Often time we question whether to sacrifice ourselves for the better, or to be selfish, and focus on our happiness. It seems like a sense of direction, which enables us to be successful, or create a sense of fulfillment. Ethics enables us to make choices that we can live with. Sacrifice is necessary, for the wellbeing of everyone. It means to be selfless. Additionally, it seems like an obligation. Some…

The title of my first reading response was “Trying to Find Joy in Reading.” I believe this was an appropriate title to describe how I walked into this class, and still in some ways how I’m walking out of it. My attitudes have changed slightly after taking this class, but I’m still not someone who would probably sit down and read a book in my free time. However, there were glimmers of hope for me throughout the semester that might indicate I’m heading in the right direction as far as being able…

despair, sadness, and even terror. All feelings I have felt in the past year, for what seemed to last forever. Although it has been a rollercoaster, the past year of my life has taught me more than my entire life put together. If I had to pick a single event that shaped me for my education here at Colorado Christian University, it would most definitely be getting kicked out of my home in June of this year. Now, this isn’t your typical “troubled teen gets kicked out” story. No, I was not the…
