A Son of the Circus

Reading these three verses is like reading something from a Donald Trump biography. Verse 23 mentions that “a king will arise, insolent and skilled in intrigue”. If I were to announce Trump at an awards banquet, I could do worse than use that description as an introduction. He’d own up to every word. I address earlier how Donald, a name that means King of the World, knew he was born to be King. Keep in mind that the use of the word King here simply means, ruler of a nation. At what part of his…

tortured and eventually crucified. Pi was completely confused by this, even a bit offended that God would let his son die saying that, “ Why would god wish that upon himself? Why not leave death to the mortals? Why make dirty what is beautiful, spoil what is perfect?” (Page 54) And with that Father Martin,( the priest he had met earlier) replied with one word. Love. Love is why God let his son die. on the last day of Pi’s vacation he asked Father Martin how to become a Christian. Next he tells…

Many people around the village gathered in front of the chicken coop to view the old man “as if he weren’t a supernatural creature but a circus animal.” From this statement, the reader notices that no one is concerned how the magical man came about or why he was present. Another incident that seemed natural was the departure of the angel at the end of the novel. Elisenda noticed his attempts…

England assumes that they naturally differ from men in every sense: on a physical and, especially, on an intellectual level. While men are granted physical strength, a woman is weak creatures. For example, Mrs. Reeds hatred towards Jane enables her son, John, to torment the girl. There is also a constant reminder, coming from the servants, about her poverty and worthlessness. This results in a psychological abuse towards young women. One more example is the fact that in the religious boarding…

experiences on our adventure exploring the culture and countries of the Atlantic, Caribbean, Mediterranean and South Pacific. During those three and a half years I home-schooled my twin sons through grades 6, 7 and 8. I will describe in detail my experience on developing the curricula and my teaching grades for my sons for those three grades and how those experiences align with QCE standards in the PLP task 2 at the end of this year. For this PLP task, I have chosen the following activities:…

angrily. He forgot about his own son… Silently, tears pooled in my eyes, I cried myself to sleep that night never wanting to wake up in the morning. Trips to the hospital for chemo were a harsh reminder of the manifestation of evil that was growing in my dad’s skull. The hospital ward was the eeriest place on earth, and they knew it. The walls were plastered with relics of happiness and bright colours. The whole building looked forced. Like a Chelsea grin. A macabre circus where every act has…

The Industrial Revolution was a period of many things for many Britons, but most importantly it was a period of mechanization, mass production and the creation of a working and middle class that divided the nation. The substitution of machine labor for muscle labor led to a sweeping, relatively rapid change in the way of life throughout Britain. Productivity grew and standards of living grew along with it. However, this led to many questioning whether the increase in the standards of living…

Teenagers are members of an uncontrolled circus, they are rollercoasters. Jerry Martin, a handsome young teenager, with golden hair brighter than the sun, was in a down swing of the rollercoaster. His Dad was blackmailing him, and he didn’t like it; not at all. He had promised Jerry ten thousand dollars, but only on the condition that Jerry received an OP1. And then came the lecture, “Life offers you many paths to choose from. You have to choose the one that is right, the one where you never…

how to speak telepathically and gave him his new name, Ishmael. The author uses these names to show how the gorilla first posed a threat to humanity (Goliath) and how he became domesticated into the human family with the name Ishmael (as the biblical son of Abraham and Sarah). The author wants to show here also, that Mr. Sokolow, a Jewish man feels sympathy with Ishmael since his people where captives themselves in World War II. On retreat with his new family, Ishmael came to realize that he is…
