The most important theme in both Earl and Listen is loss and grief. In Earl, the loss of a seal is the main attraction and the human uses purpose and deceit to show the unavoidable loss. In Listen, the dog searched for the snow ball that his owner threw. The snowball was seen breaking apart and scattering with the other snow, but the dog did not understand what was going on, why was the ball no longer there? Any kind of loss is an unfortunate part of life which causes the person or animal who is…

Like Kingshaw in the end of the novel, I’m also free. I am finally free from reading this book. Not because it’s bad. It’s because it’s too emotionally overwhelming. Finishing it makes me look back at my mundane over-dramatic complaints and see how minimal it is comparing to Kingshaw. I feel blessed by God for protecting me from the unfortunate. I stumbled across this book whilst skimming through the bookshelves in my local bookstore, my attention was caught in the somber atmosphere of the…

It’s only been a few month since the United States elected our new President John Anderson, but little did we know he would soon be ruining innocent lives. Today is the day me and my best friend Katie found out about “The Toxic Shot” and that it would be used to kill every woman in the United States. At first we looked at each other and thought this was some type of sick joke but then we kept paying attention to the TV and found out how and why the government would do such a thing. Suddenly the…

My Amazing Grandma Most people could say that the perfect grandmother does not exist. I actually disagree. What I know for a fact is that my grandmother is perfect. My grandmother is perfect in every way; the way she dresses, the way she moves, the way she behaves, the way she speaks, etcetera. Sometimes, I just think that it could be great, if I could be a little bit of what she is. Her great personality is full of other amazing qualities. I’m going to start by describing the way my grandma…

It was five months ago, that I first saw you. I had a long day and had decided to eat my lunch in the park that day. It was just random decision that to this day, I don 't regret. I was sitting on one of the benches across the way, just about done with my food when something caught my eye. The scorching sun was shining down on the whole plaza, its rays reflecting off a silver watch, making it glint in the sunlight. I was squinting my eyes in its direction and when my eyes adjusted, I was able to…

The Importance Of Protecting Your Child’s Teeth While Playing Sports There are many ways for kids to pass the time here in Virginia Beach, VA. Many parents prefer to enroll their children in some sort of sport to help keep their kids busy and active. What many parents don’t realize is that most popular sports involve contact, and where there is contact, there is danger of having teeth damaged or knocked out. This goes for sports like baseball and basketball to activities such as skateboarding,…

I have always followed the trends, ripped jeans, white sneakers, and I always know what is hot and new. So when I saw how everyone was supporting equality, I realised that I need to do so too in order to stay in style. I honestly did not expect it to be so hard to just go along with what most of my friends were saying for a while, but it turned out to be much harder than I thought it would be. After almost a month of pretending I realised that I too want equality, but not the same equality they…

The first time I picked up a color guard flag was definitely a magical, memorable experience that I will remember for the rest of my life, my hands felt natural against the cold metal pole. Finally I felt like I was doing something right. When I started those first drop spins, I caught on quickly. Until that point in time I had been good at everything I put my mind to but now-- now I had found where I belonged. Suddenly I was pulling tosses that my instructor (who had been in the game for the…

“What makes you different from everyone else?” I’ve heard this question repeatedly throughout my life, whether it was from a teacher, or a job interviewer, or even a friend of mine. It’s the type of question people ask in order to get an idea of who you are, and find out what exactly there is about you that makes you special. When I was younger, I would hear this question asked either on television, or in a conversation between older people, and all I can remember thinking was “what’s the point…

Last year I went on a fishing trip that would change my life. I was extremely excited to go fishing because I had only done it a few times before. But, the bad part of it is the nine hour drive to the cabin we would be staying at. I dislike long car rides very much so I was not looking forward for that part of the journey. I had to pack a bunch of clothes and supplies that I would need for the adventurous week in front of me. Before we left for the long journey I said goodbye to my mom and made…
