Abyss

With a fascination of the brain since middle school, I have gradually developed an interest in neurology, especially concerning the study of brain tumors. It is fascinating to know that one tumor in the brain can affect the entire body, which is why I wish to embrace the profession of a neurologist in the future. As a dedicated student, I am always centered around the “why” of any situation whether it be in science, history, or math. I dig deeper and focus on the roots of the problem being faced…

Frequently, much debate has taken place on the legalization of marijuana, with an unusual amount of contradictory research. There are different perspectives to take into account, being these from the perspective of medicine, politics or economics. Ordinarily, several countries have testified to the successful use of medical marijuana, which has led people to use it. In fact, this substance has been shown to stop or suppress the development and spread of HIV, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma,…

A harsh wave of heat swept past her face as she looked into the unruly abyss ahead. A car approaching ahead of her, the dust clouds came to a halt and one of the car's front doors and one of the back doors opened promptly. Two heavily armoured men jumped out with stern faces and big rifles. Out of one door came a man. He was dragged to the side escorted by these two men. I knew this was serious… His hair shining wet in the scorching sun. His back hunched over. While his face looked drowned out.…

was to establish a dictatorship. Adolf Hitler explained his reasoning after stating each objective. The Jewish people, in Hitler’s eyes, did not establish a culture of their own. The Jews poisoned the Aryan blood, thus causing man to fall into an abyss for all time. Hitler’s second objective was taking back the European land that he thought the Aryans were entitled to. He stated that…

I braced myself every moment since you said those words for the hurt that would come. It was inevitable, and the dread resided in a distant place in my mind, preparing my body to implode the moment our love parted. I almost felt it the night of graduation. Our merry band of friends attended your commencement ceremony, and we cheered for you with all the oxygen in our lungs. I was so proud to see you succeed. We all took a group photo with my Polaroid camera, which I still have. It is a happy…

United States were in the railroads. The railroads powered the industrial economy. They consumed the majority of iron and steel produced in the United States before 1890. At times, however, railroads threatened to haul the American economy into the abyss. Rail corporations overbuilt, borrowed recklessly, and were often atrociously managed. They ricocheted wildly between rate wars and the creation of pools to fix prices, and they encouraged other industries to follow. Second, following the end…

“What the world fails to realise is a villain is just a victim whose story hasn’t been told” (Colfer.) This quote comes from Chris Colfer and I think it should be in the back of everyone’s mind when reading or watching a villain’s behavior and actions. Just as our hero can turn out to be wicked, our villain could actually be the most heroic character in a story. You can never take what’s happening for face value right away; you have to think outside of what you’re being presented. Perhaps there…

Introduction- What is the aesthetic element? Color is an aesthetic element that covers the aspect of light caused by reflection. To see color, you have to have light. When light shines on an object, colors bounce off the object and others are absorbed by it. Our eyes see colors that are bounced off or reflected. Color is an important aspect of any production. Color adds a descriptive element to a movie. Although there has been several successful movies in black and white, color gives the…

Wheatley’s “On Being Brought form Africa to America,” Dunbar’s “We Wear the Mask,” and McKay’s “If We Must Die” are poems that express the injustice treatment toward African Americans and their desperate cry for help and freedom. Wheatley’s poem describes her journey from Africa to America and the religion changes that were forced upon her. In the next poem, Dunbar’s poem, it speaks about how people have been bashed so much that we have secured our protection with masks that portray nothing but…
