PUMPKINTOPIA “It’s a new day!” I said as I woke up and got ready for school. I then went down stairs to eat breakfast. Today I knew I was going to have a great day because I was going to have a science experiment with Alondra. So I went to school and right after I went to the science lab with Alondra. I got the pumpkin and then started making the antidote it was all going so well and I was so happy. But then of course something bad always has to happen and Alondra poured the antidote that…

Joan Collins once said, “Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I’ll show you someone who hasn’t achieved much”. One of my favorite mistakes is the time I started to push away my best friend when both of us knew we needed each other at that time and plainly in general. Before, during and currently I see this situation in many, many ways. When I sit back and observe this situation I notice many opportunities to reword something that I had said or to just plainly not say what I said at…

toward one another. The character traits of a friend stand perfectly displayed in the lives of Reuven, Danny, and Mr. Malter. These three individuals all have an unbreakable bond. They care so much for each other that they spend time together every single day. Well if they can do that, can we in our world? Of course we can do it. These fictional people are perfect examples of friends. Their bond brings them closer than a family. But if they can extend this kind of kindness and love, can we? What…

Cyberbullying: Who Has the Power to End it All? “Are you gay? You’re fat! Go kill yourself!” These are just a few examples of messages that are sent everyday to kids around the world. These taunting remarks are sent all over social media and may seem so insignificant to some people, but often are the cause of someone else harming him/herself or even committing suicide. Cyberbullying is the use of social media through computers, tablets, cell phones, or other electronic devices that are often…

An Emotional Ride I felt determined to rid myself of the aging coupe. The mounting repair bills at Speedy’s Garage were a heavy burden and the metallic knocking under the hood filled me with dread. The winter wind buffeted my face as I climbed out of the failing car for the last time and stood alone in the used car lot. I pulled my Carolina Panthers jacket close and took a deep breath. I was 23 and nervous about buying a car without support. The fear of making a costly mistake made my…

“Life’s funny. You have to find a way to keep going, even after you realize none of your dreams will come true. When you realize that, there’s still so much of a life to get through” (Claire Messud). Dreams can be what one looks up to, and once they’re broken, can be what holds them back. Broken dreams is a prominent theme throughout the novella, Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck. It is taken place on a ranch in Salinas, California where two migrant workers, George and Lennie, must work…

An instance of unrealistic basics that actually furthered the play was in the case when Lil and Mamie were talking and in the background, there was visibility of a person in the background of the hotel room. “Lil: What’s that man doing? /Hoover, in drag, is still creeping around the hotel room, emptying drawers, etc. /Mamie: Oh, that’s J. Edgar Hoover. He’s blackmailed everybody in Washington. He was the first to know that Kay was registering in the hotel under an assumed name” (77-78). This…

Despondency The bitterly cold air is blasting into my face and the rain is clattering down onto my skin like thousands of bullets being shot at once. As Arthur and I dash through Deauville Avenue, goose bumps start racing on my limbs. My plump lips are turning blue like an afternoon sky. Inelegantly, I fall through the doors of a petite boutique determined to find something to keep me snug and warm. I catch a glimpse of a sleek, smooth, silky scarf. Flabbergasted, I stand in awe…Wow!…

I was born in a good household where my every wish was granted in a blink on an eye. My birthdays were celebrated on a grand level. I had the collection of the latest toys and comics. My school was one of the best schools of the city. I had a very fulfilling and amazing childhood. I used to have a lot of friends that were mostly present in my house all the time and we played with all my toys. My monthly pocket money was more than enough for me to buy the things I want and go to trips around the…

Woohoo! What is better than spending the first part of your day shooting guns and then going out on the lake the rest of it? Well this summer that is exactly what I did and that is what makes it one of my most memorable days lately on our vacation to Tennessee. I expected it to be a bit boring considering it was my first vacation with my one and a half year old son. Instead I got to shoot guns while he slept hitting nearly all of the targets. Then we went to the lake where I got t canoe and…
