Rejecting Tradition: A Funeral Plan for Rebecca James It is unfortunate that society seems to give far less consideration to planning for death than is given to planning the other major events in life like birth or marriage.

"Thank you." I chuckled. It was a little funny watching him go from laughing to trying to control his emotions. "You should smile more too." I said and took a bite of food. "I don't find many things worth smiling about." I rolled my eyes. "Yea I've noticed." It was a random thought but I couldn't help wonder how I was going to get a hang on mind reading. "Hey um how can I do the mind reading thing without passing out?" My question caught him off guard and he stopped chewing mid-bite. "Practice.…

Laying there, entangled in his embrace, I gazed up at him as he was sleeping. He looked so peaceful. A part of me never wanted to leave, but a part of me knew that I had to. “Erik,” I whispered, hoping that he wouldn’t stir, but his eyes fluttered, and he smiled when he saw me. “You’re still here,” he whispered back, “This was the first time I hadn’t dreamt of you.” “That’s a good thing?” Erik pulled me closer, “I couldn’t touch you in my dreams.” He kissed me, and I felt light headed. But I…

Synthesis Essay “Wow, time has passed and things have changed.” There are many instances in life where we would realize this and wonder how much we have grown as humans.

Time doesn’t stop and everyone is living their lives as we try to progress forward. However, that doesn’t stop us from looking back, because that is what photographs are for. It captures the…

“Kaja, Mathias! Time for school,” Mr. Olsen’s thick accent left her unheard, sounding like gibberish. She sighed, finally repeating her words in Norwegian. As soon as her children heard her words, they ran down the stairs. “Hello, Father,” Mathias grumbled under his breath with a slightly less thick accent. Kaja gave up completely on trying to talk in English, giving a Norwegian greeting instead. Every since the 2061 treaty was signed 5 years ago, the Olsens have been trapped in the western…

When Starr first told me that she was going to become a ‘call girl’, I wasn’t really sure what to think. I was angry, I was scared, but most of all I was ignorant. She had told me multiple times that she had been running into some money problems and even though I offered some assistance to her, she turned it down and said “Thank you, but it’s not enough”. In turn I started to think: how much trouble could she be in? After I voiced my concerns to her, she began to explain to me why she had an…
