This year at Roxbury Latin how many of you have worn a suit that you bought after going to a store and merely trying it on and subsequently purchasing it because you fit into a certain range of measurements. This in 1820 would have been a novel concept, for the fine clothing business was exclusively reserved for the upper classes of Boston society. This was due to large amounts of work and skill that went into making a custom suit. The process consisted of: basic measurement taking, the original…

The Goldfish- Prosopopeia I see my entire world in my line of vision. I cannot move beyond my borders of glass. A gigantic shadow approaches my bowl. The end most be coming soon for me.

It begins to move away and I take a closer inspection of the landscape around me. I am place within a corner of a large square shaped room. The…

Natural highs always come to every single person in their lifetime and they stick with that mostly the rest of their lives. For me, a definition of a natural high is that it is something a person loves doing so much that in a way they get high. My natural high was found early in my life at the age of four; it was swimming. I still remember the first time I met the pool; it was an inflatable tube pool that was about 5 feet deep and I was learning to swim. I was so happy that I tried my hardest to…

The camp is unpleasant and I seem to continually hear the yells of guards or even the screams of others like me. I hoped to find some relief from this agony in the small amount of sleep I am able to receive, but even in my dreams I am haunted. I am also haunted with the view of the outside, and occasionally I find myself lost in thought staring into the outside. To me, the outside seems to be in another world, as if somehow we were transported into this harsh and cruel world. Stuck here I’m…

The Great Blueberry Harvest of 2012 The rays of the sun were relentlessly beaming down on my back and neck as I scooped away at the ripe blueberries. The heat had no sympathy for me, and thoughts of quitting my job right there on the spot were running through my head. But my ego would never let me give up. I sent the negative thoughts away and got back to work. There is light at the end of the tunnel. A spark of motivation runs throughout my whole body. It is day two of the harvest and the…

At seventeen Hayley clearly knew how unfair her situation was but with no other option she followed every command she at aunt send her way. She also had a feeling when her birthday would come around she was going to end up homeless. One day when she was sweeping the hall by the office she had heard Lana on the phone, with whom she guessed her best friend since childhood, only hearing the one sided conversation she knew when Lana said it was only two years before she would be relieved of her…

At the time of his death we still lived in Nigeria and following his death my family and I moved to the United States due to his…

Queen of Alabama My mother once told me, “You can’t compete where you don’t compare.” And let’s face it, no one compares to me. Just one reason why I should be queen. I was born and raised in the state of sweet home Alabama. I’ve learned everything there is to know about this great state. From the looks of it, I’m all this state needs. You will have more freedom, tons of awesome privileges and let’s not forget about the fun times on the beach you’ll be having if you vote me as queen. With me as…

Nobody really likes the topic of slavery. Slavery still happens today, but nobody notices or they do and just do say anything. Slavery isn’t a good thing, in fact it’s the total opposite it’s awful. What makes it worse is that they are using children. It’s bad because it causes parents to lose their children because of lies told by slave owners. Sure the slave owners get free labor, but it isn’t fair to the children or the parents. They tell parents that their kids will have a better future,…
