My hands were red in the cold. It seeped over from my fingertips to my palms and then to the back of my hands. The brown color became near nonexistent. I needed to get out of the cold and home before dark. My steps were tentative. Much like a baby deer taking its first steps, I skidded across the ice and snow. Tentative movements would make me slower, but ultimately safe. I just needed to get home by seven and I would be safe. I wouldn 't say I was superstitious, but nana 's old tales of the…

reader. For Nicholas Sparks, his writing style has to be very liberal and flexible because if it was not like that then he would only create similar novels. It is essential that he is able to manipulate his own writing style. The main thing that affects the writing style as said before is the theme of the novel; that is what sets the mood for the writing style. Apparently the theme is very important for Nicholas Sparks ' writing because that is what causes a remarkable difference between the…

CL: Yeah I told her and if she didn’t suggest helping me pay for it then I am not going to ask her. CO: Okay Minimal Encourager The counselor intended to allow the client to feel supported. The minimal encourager seemed to be effective. However, it seemed that the client continued her statement afterwards. I could have used silence. CL: No. She doesn’t… I don’t ask her money or nothing. CO: Okay. So is that something that you are not comfortable with doing with your mom? Minimal…

I believe that I have the power to make radical positive change in the world; this mentality is not something I have always had though. Growing up, I experienced several frustrating time periods when I felt like all my dreams to make an impact were discouraged by some of the people around me. My preference in leading is to only step up to lead when no one else steps up. As a result, there have been many times throughout my life that I have not stepped up because I have not felt particularly…

If there is one person in “The Story of an Hour” that demonstrates the feeling of freedom, it would be Mrs. Mallard.

The protagonist, Mrs. Mallard, is a young woman with heart problems, and her sister Josephine has to break it as carefully as possible to her that her husband has died in a railroad accident. When Mrs. Mallard finally…

Thanks to the lovely people over at The Imperfect Podcast, I have been able to connect with some amazing independent filmmakers, actors, directors, and more. In the case of Tonya Kay, I asked for her an interview the moment I saw that they were interviewing her. Thankfully, Tonya had some time recently to chat with me about the evolution of her career as well as her perspective on life and the pursuit of one's dreams, including her prospects for the future. RH: Why did you choose…

If only I hadn’t had that accident I would not be where I am today. Every day I am thankful and grateful for the accident that I was involved in while in Iraq. I always said while joking but serious at the same time, that God if I was not in the military I will give myself to you completely in ministry. A few months while deployed to Iraq my vehicle was hit with an I.E.D. and the armor truck rolled down a hill on top of me and shattered my right knee and many other injuries. I believe God…

In the quote by Horace, a roman poet, adversity is viewed as hardships that people overcome every day in their lives that make them who they are today. Although adversity can make people endure, adversities develop the person to become prosperous and bloom vigorous and effulgent like a rose. From personal…
