Bad news

Since kindergarden, I have always struggled. Behind in most classes, the only friend I still had was Brandon, the boy who once saved me. Acting as a parental figure, I looked up to him for everything, depending on him for any problems I had. In fact, he was the one who taught me to listen to everyone 's problems. However, on March 3rd, 1995, an event occurred that scarred me for life. As school finished, I got ready to go to the park like I always did. I was already in 2nd grade, and was…

had no luck finding the correct treatment. As his wife began giving up on life, the pharmacologist went through series of depression and starting going mad. He began creating false medicine that did harm and started advertising the medicine as the new miracle drug. Few weeks later the pharmacologist saw himself in a full tux standing nervously. Across the room, he seems a familiar face, the casual spiked…

highlight the superiority of humans in relation to animals by conflating happiness with the restoration of the human condition. In The Emperor's New Groove, Kuzco regains his human form, is reinstated as emperor, and shares his wealth with Pacha and his family. In The Princess and the Frog, Navene and Tiana regain access to the human condition because of Tiana's new status as a princess, and the couple lives happily ever after. Similarly, in Madame de Beaumont's “Beauty and the Beast,” the Beast…

The differences between these two stories, I share in comparison with two good friends. In middle school I had two best friends who were twins. When I first met them, it seemed as if only their mother could tell them apart. They looked exactly alike, sounded alike, and even their personalities weren’t very different. But the more I got to know them, the more they began to sound, look, and even act different from one another. These “same” boys, both end up telling a different story. Here and…

The companies had ties to gangs, such as the Bloods or Crips, which aided the development and increased the severity of the bad relationship between both labels.The two popular label companies hosted Tupac Shakur (Death Row) and Biggie Smalls (Bad Boy), both already extremely well-known as one another’s rap rivals (Hendrickson 29-31). Tupac, on the West Coast, made many songs attacking the East Coast, and it made a huge impact on this…

The truth of who you really are became a fallacy to the ears of many young minds, including mine. Implanted since I was a young child, you were always portrayed as the “Big Bad Wolf” who treated the three little pigs as delicious prey rather than a friendly neighbor who wanted to be more than an acquaintance. I question the reasons why you would let the media tarnish your name in such an evil manner. From Walt Disney creating a cartoon short called “Disney’s Silly Symphony: The Three Little…

There’s no need for introduction, I’m just good ol me. I’m your everyday “Caretaker” in other words I’m an assassin that works for those who need their town protected, my parents are dead and I have no relatives so I’m all alone in this world. I’m 17, Silver haired, and Blue eyed. The “Fellow villagers” say that because I’m emotionless that I am the reason my parents were taken away by the government for “Testing”. I recently received a letter from a man named Uuotcha, saying he needed help…

Percival had been in such a rush he’d forgotten his sunglasses. The bright, late-morning sun blasted through his car’s windshield, but he hardly noticed. The ridiculous traffic jam on the highway was the only thing to which he paid attention. He banged his fists against the steering wheel. “Move, damn it, move, move!” Nope, nothing but red brake lights for as far as the eye could see. He wanted to hop out of his car and run down the road screaming that this was an emergency, and for people to…

Three drops of blood, three poisoned items, three tokens given for spinning straw into gold, three nights in the wood; the number three woven into so many of the brothers Grimm folk tales. Perhaps it is for the repetition of an action or phrase to better allow the story to become ingrained in a child’s mind. For who doesn’t recall the words little red riding hood speaks to the wolf, “Oh, grandmother what big ears you have!” “The better to hear you with.” “Oh, grandmother what big eyes you…
