    gardening and writing in her diary, both of which Miss Prism, her tutor, frowns upon, exclaiming that “such a utilitarian occupation as the watering of flowers” is rather the manservants duty, and remarking absently “you really must put away your diary, Cecily. I really don’t see why you should keep a diary at all” (Wilde 22). Under these suffocating circumstances, it is no surprise that Cecily turns to Bunburying as an escape, and having all the time in the world to abandon her studies for her…

    story about a man named Cross Lambert. “Hey Cross, aren’t you excited? You’re going to get your first command soon?” “I don’t know Galius. I have been a lieutenant for so long, I don’t know how the men are going to adjust to my promotion.” “Everyone knew you were going to be the next captain and you have many supporters, amazingly. You’re the perfect example for a high-ranking officer.” “How so?“ “You follow orders to the letter and you are a devout follower of Zenith and the men will just…

    One argument from Maslow’s essay “The Need to Know and the Fear of Knowing” which directly relates to A Separate Peace is that one often evades knowledge of their true selves. Although Phineas’s nonchalant and loyal characteristics make him seem almost godlike, he seems to also fear certain aspects of himself. In particular, he has a fear that his basic desires contradict the innocent person everyone perceives him to be. For many of the students at the Devon school, the war seems almost…

    party, I was trying to avoid my feet hurting from heels. "Got it!" I yelled from my room and walked to the living room where Regina was now standing. "One million years later you 're ready, what a miracle," Regina said clapping and I shook my head. "Because of you, we 're going to be late to the party" "Gina chill, you can never be late to a party where people won 't even notice. This is a carrington…

    What does this story say about people? Martha slightly blames Jesus for her brother’s death. Then she kind of back-tracks and displays a sign of faith, she knows who Jesus is. She calls Him Teacher. Yet, when Jesus told the men to remove the stone from Lazarus’ tomb, she displayed uncertainty. Mary also slightly blames Jesus for her brother’s death. But she also knows who Jesus is because she fell at His feet when she saw Him. The Jews that were present made biting comments like, if Jesus…

    The year is 2012. 7 years. It’s been a gruesome 7 years without Adeline. It’s all my fault. I killed her. The anger in my voice is what pushed her over the edge, literally. I let out a groan as I punched the bedroom wall that already had many holes as a result of my anger. The bedroom was littered with clothes of women. This was the only thing that eased the pain. Killing. It gave me such a thrill. Something about the way the blood would pour out, how they would beg for their lives, and oh,…

    become powerful helps us to believe that if we were ever powerless perhaps we could change our circumstances. Walter’s experience also connects us to the world at large, Jarvis and Burr also write, “TV…can deepen and intensify awareness of common human experiences.” (p. 172) Through watching Walter struggle with cancer, bad health insurance, and a desire to leave his family without the burden of financial debt we can develop empathy for others who may be in the same situation. Breaking Bad…

    Every man had gone through a different method of torture. One bloody man is strapped onto a chair with an eyeball hanging out of his skull. One man is strapped to a table with all his legs cut off. Another is shackled to the wall with his balls cut off. All of these men seem to have been left to die bleeding in one way or another. They must've been that close to dying because they didn't seem to react to the yelling further down and some of them were even twitching oddly. It wasn't until we were…

    colour you really like?" Anya asks. "Well, for Angela," Vanessa starts, while gesturing to Angela, but is cut off. "I was thinking we could go for an older look, something flattering but not over the top. And I want a fitted short dress, one that compliments my body. No lace, whatsoever, but I like a bit of sparkle. I want strapless of course and as for the colour, I want it to be dark ruby," Angela says, conceitedly. Demanding much? I mean, it's nice to know exactly what you want, but you…

    want you to read and then tell me if you know who wrote it: “Enjoying what we do is not always a feeling of enjoyment; it is sometimes the gritty resolution a man or woman shows in doing what must be done — perhaps with inner dread and yet without whimpering self-pity. I like the phrase, “without whimpering self-pity.” It sounds much more dramatic and important than the phrase, “without complaining.” I also like the phrase, “gritty resolution.” Was there anything that you did last week that you…
