I wish this paper was over. The Monkey’s Paw is a short horror story written by W.W. Jacobs. The story follows the White family who are given a wish granting monkey paw from Mr. White’s old army buddy. What seems to be a treasure is quickly deduced to actually be a curse. The wishes all become true, but only do so with a terrible twist of fate. Ultimately this leads to the White’s misery, and the death of their son Herbert. This classic tale has been reimagined through multiple mediums including…

Who killed young Herbert? It all started on a dark, stormy night, while playing chess. A man, from a faraway land, knocked on the door. He told a tale about a monkeys paw. The paw would let you make three wishes. In the story, “Monkey’s Paw”, Herbert dies; I believe Herbert is to blame. Since Herbert didn’t believe it that’s why he died. Herbert suggested that Mr. White (Herbert’s father) should wish for two hundred pounds (Money). When Mr. White did wish for two hundred pounds Herbert said,…

tradition of CBS’ summer lineup, Big Brother is the only reality TV show that exists on the basis of 24-hour surveillance. The Big Brother house is no home to privacy.

As if that wasn’t enough, CBS offers “CBS All Access”-an online monthly subscription that gives members access to the Big Brother Live Feeds. Big Brother is a…

and it still has not been determined whether they exist. The second subject is dark matter. Dark matter is a placeholder that cannot be seen. It accounts for 27% of the matter in the universe, but like black holes its existence is uncertain (Harris, W., & Freudenrich, C. 2007, September 4). The third subject is dark energy, which is like dark matter but not quite the same. Dark energy is the name physicists use for whatever substance, force or property…

Little Bad Wolf POV “Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf, the Big Bad Wolf, the Big Bad Wolf? Who’s afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? Tra la la la la.” I watched from the bushes as the young girl skipped through the forest singing that line over and over again. Stalking little girls isn’t something I normally do but she has a bag that smells really good. “Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf, the Big Bad Wolf, the Big Bad Wolf? Who’s afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? Tra la la la la.” I continued to follow her…

controversial debate of creationism versus evolution. The religious right of the political spectrum believes with absolute certainty that God created our existence, while the scientific left supports the gradual evolution of life resulting from the Big Bang Theory. Wendell Berry adds his opinion and says, “There is no objective or empirical or experimental evidence on either side.

Once I was a devout follower of the Catholic religion; now I am a follower of Atheism. Growing up, I was raised in a catholic house hold and for the most part it was enjoyable and not much was pushed onto me or expected of me in terms of my belief system.

was a little baby again. I couldn’t squelch the tears. No matter how hard I tried they kept coming. Big G was just one of those guys that you noticed as soon as he walked in. His energy could be felt as soon as he entered a room and his voice usually filled the whole place too. His name is description enough for what he was to me and everybody else. Big G. When I first met him I thought the name Big G was just so Gino and his…
