In all honesty I did not have a favourite constellation prior to writing this essay as astronomy is a brand new field to me but I do love the elegance of swans in reality and to transfer that to the stars in the sky felt natural to me. Upon doing a bit more research into my chosen constellation, I knew that I had made the right choice. Cygnus is an arrangement of stars in the northern hemisphere with each…

She says “it’s so bright that you can’t look at it very long or else your eyes will burn right off”. But I don’t believe her it has been raining forever and no sign of “the sun”. She was different she never hung out with us, not that I would want her to. She just stood there looking out the window waiting for this imaginary “sun” We read a book about it in class it had to be real now they…

A quote written by Doe Zantamata states the following... “Staying quiet to keep peace can be a good thing, but if the piece has already been disturbed, staying quiet doesn't make anything better.

A compelling debate has been ignited as a result of Shakespeare’s play Henry the Fourth, Part One. The play’s protagonist seems to be unclear and thus many critics have drawn their own conclusions. Anne Marie McNamara explains her point of view in her essay Henry IV: The King as Protagonist. While McNamara claims that King Henry IV is the protagonist of the play, Prince Hal is the true protagonist because a major portion of the play focuses on the idea of Prince Hal becoming king. In the first…
