Around the World

Chapter One: We Honestly Weren’t Ready For Any Of This :/ Our world is slowly being torn apart. Our world is crumbling away. Soon we won't have anything left; no one will have anything left. 200 years ago, Earth was hit with a 14.0 magnitude earthquake. No one thought it was possible, no one was prepared. More than half the population died that day. The ones that did survive though, were forced to face what was left of the dead planet. North America was split into five islands, Europe…

I’m a fan of tech, I love it, but what I understand is that U.S corporations have created a monster in technology that can’t be stopped. Its either join the technological world, or fall out. You don’t really have a choice to use technology anymore. In this era, you need it. Some people can’t even function without it. Everyone has a cell phone, we love them, we need them, and they’re a vital resource, but what we fail to realize…

steady picture to a constant, blurry picture. My body felt free from gravity as I was suspended in air. My hands, knowing from past experience, plant and root themselves into the ground – to protect my head – the ground, the only steady thing in my world of movement and weightlessness terminates all motion. My wrists crack and my legs smash onto the wooden boards.…

The world is connected through a variety of languages and cultures. There are 7 continents on Earth. Each are broken into countries, states, cities, and regions. Each differ from each other in multiple ways. In the united states alone is made up of 50 states, all culturally different. Although all the millions of people who live in the United States are all interrelated due to the fact that we all live in the same country, but we all differ in the language we speak and our culture. Text such as…

narrator called one of the girls in a bikini "chunky," showing how he used derogatory terms to judge the girl. He also called all the people in the store "sheep," another derogatory term showing he thinks the customers are brainless and just walk around getting their things without putting much thought into it. Sammy is also quick to act on his passions, which is not a heroic…

Every change in weather and rotation of seasons can be seen when standing on that front porch, but the storm still managed to take me by surprise. The late autumn winds circled rapidly around me as I gazed up at the fiery colours of the setting sun. I sat in a handcrafted mahogany rocking chair and sniffed the homey aroma of cedar that was coming from the porch’s wooden structure. Just as the radiant hues of the sunset faded to black,…

In hearing wonderful comments about the Kohler Arts Center’s support for the Arts, is why I choose this place to visit for my field investigation. The history of the Kohler Arts center starts with the Sheboygan Arts Foundation, which was created in 1959 with Mrs. Walter J Kohler as its first board member. In 1966, the Kohler family homestead was gifted to the Sheboygan Arts Foundation. With this homestead as a starting point and a large expansion, the center was established in 1967. This…

Will Smith, a zealous actor and songwriter, has gone through life experiencing substantial adversity. But, in the end Smith persevered from these challenges and transformed into a sage man. “I love living, I think that’s infectious. It’s something that you can’t fake,” Smith describes…

Books are my livelihood. Having read the Netherfield library, in its entirety, twice, I have approached the legitimate conclusion I have acquired an infatuation with these published stories. One of my most admired and esteemed books, The Shadow of the Wind written by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, includes prodigious quotes including, “Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands…

People from all around the world heard the saying “nobody is perfect” and it is true, we are all humans, we all make mistakes, but to what extent does someone stop being clement when that person has endured all the hardship a person gives them after they are condoned several times. There is a certain point in life when some people do not deserve clemency because every time that person is condoned, that person takes advantage it because that person knows they will receive forgiveness. There is…
