The significance of the body “I hate my life” Fred said with exasperation, “all I do is sit around like a bump on a log while the neon fish swim happily about, and to top it all off, I look like poop and eat algae. I know this is why Phyllis the Fish Man traded me for Susan the Seahorse. Cant a plecostomus get some respect?” “Get over here Fred!” Larry cacophonously shouted, “I need you to do something for me.” Larry the freshwater angelfish always antagonized…

“I know that he is a powerful necromancer and has practiced the black arts for over 800 years. No one is certain that Balthazar is even his real name and rumors abound that he is the Black Visage, the most powerful necromancer of all time and to be the same Black Visage believed slain by Kaylunse, the golden knight, thousands of years ago. The Black Visage, known to be over 2000 years old, and no longer mortal after performing mutilations and experiments on his own body, making himself a…

Hey, I’m Gracie and I’m in 8th grade and I just got done reading about your story in the maze. I have many questions for you and about your decisions you made in the Glade and on the way out of the maze. When you first were in the box what were you thinking as you were rising? Knowing me, I would have been freaking out about not knowing anything and why I was even in there in the first place. You just seemed so calm and cool with it. Also, I think that figuring out everything about the Glade…

Strong Enough Roman said, “You are ugly, and nobody will ever speak with you”. “No, you are wrong. You will see” I screamed to him, and ran away. Every day people overcome obstacles. There are different problems that people need to overcome. Some people are strong, and they get what they want, but others are weak, and they don’t get what they want. Strong people go straight to their goal, and they don’t look at hard times. Although, my eyes were getting watery, I still didn’t want anybody to…

It was 8 PM on a Friday evening. It was foggier than usual, but it was still a very nice night. Today was valentines day and I was taking a cab home from the airport where I work to my house in Brooklyn. A majority of my friends got the day off today but unfortunately not myself. Valentines day is one of my favourite times of the year and it was very disappointing that I could not get the day off. Valentines day is bittersweet for me. I met the love of my life a few years ago on this day. His…

How Nick Vujici is an example of a creator is that when people drag him down due to being born with no arms nor legs, he still got right back up and fought twice as hard right back. How instead of walking away from his problems he approach them and overcome it. At one point he did play the role of a Victim and just wanted to the easy way out from his misery. But every time he attempted to commit suicide it’s like God saved him. From the youtube video, he said “... I am here for a reason, sure…

Going above and beyond my comfort zone was the aim that I had for this project. I wanted to think outside of the box and interview someone whom I have not known for a great amount of time. After brainstorming about which person I should seek to interview, the thought finally occurred to me. Over the past few weeks, I have downloaded an app from the Apple iTunes store onto my iPhone. The app, Stigma is a social networking app that allows you to anonymously obtain pen pals. You have the option of…

(1) Currently, I am not too happy with what is going on with my life right now. I am not too happy because I feel somewhat isolated and alone sometimes. I live on campus and I am in a coed fraternity, but I feel that I am not living a “college student’s life” so to speak. I don’t like to “party” and I can be pretty quiet at times, and I feel like that makes me somewhat of an “outcast” from the world. I don’t want to change myself of course, but I sometimes wish people could accept me more for…

There was a special bond the three of them shared and when Mike was shot, it shook Rafael and Sonny to the core. Especially Sonny. He was not only a lover but a fellow squad member and police officer. Everything was touch and go during the night. At first, the doctors were unsure if Mike would make it or not until the surgery was over with. After the surgery, Mike remained unconscious but stable. There was no way Sonny could sleep. And whenever he did he envisioned Mike dying and him attending…
