Banshee

Traveling to an island looking for something no one knows anything about is an adventure of a lifetime. Exploring the unknown can bring many different emotions from many different people. Having a crew where all the information is disclosed even after setting sail. Once arriving, seeing the native villagers participating in a ceremony and then disrupting/spoiling the ceremony caused everything to go downhill. The 1933’s King Kong is a subpar film in my opinion. Its filled with a very early…

Shifting its weight from side to side, the sugar-covered Northern gannet holds its short wings aloft, preparing to jump from a rugged boulder. After a careful scope of the diamond-crusted sea below, the white adventurer tenses before leaping from the mossy cliff. Briefly the gannet plunges--flapping its wings determinately until the stiff breeze lifts its stout form above the salty ocean spray. Swiftly rising through the clear air, the Northern gannet angles its broad, unmoving wings like a…

Another, lesser-known personification was Ankou, known in Breton mythology as well as in Cornish, Welsh and Norman folklore. Ankou appears in many tales gathered from oral tradition. As such his description does not always correspond from one tale to another. He is always described as a tall and thin figure clad in black Breton garments, sometimes with glowing eyes, wearing a large felt hat concealing his face, standing up in a creaking cart similar to the ones used during the Middle-Age to…

Through the book it is very clear that Andy has suffered in making and maintaining relationships. The relationship that was most detrimental to his development is Hope. Although Hope and Andy loved each other endlessly, they were extremely toxic for each other. For example “ A few day after Christmas, she decided that the woman next door who had left the ton of candy was no longer dangerous and asked her to watch me for the night” (Bridge, 2008, p. 84). Hope was constantly leaving Andy with…

island trip. It was a Monday in the summer me and my best friend traveled to kings island. Even though it was pretty hard to get into we got in in about 45 mins. We partook in a ton of new and old rides it was very amusing my favorite ride is the banshee and that was also the main reason we went that day because the ride was new. It was a great ride and the hilarious part was the ride sort of malfunction and sound queues didn't play and the cart after us got stuck in mid air. It was a pretty…

Thousands of people die everyday and I don’t really care. Even though you’ll find tons of awkward zit faced nerds inside them, comic book stores are some of the best places on earth because there are hundreds of adventures that take place in just a few pages for 3.99 or less. Saturday afternoon my parents were in a fight over where we’d go for my brother Josh’s birthday and after hours of arguing they agreed that we’d go to “Fat Nats Eggs”, meanwhile my brother’s birthday was drawing nearer and…

regular horse that you’d see on Earth. A direhorse has two long thin antennas that come out of their head that can be used for transferring information about food sources or any oncoming danger. There are also different creatures such as the viperwolf, banshee, thanator, and…

valuable. Being Steven in the story would be really tough. He made Jeffery some oatmeal, “moatmeal” (Sonnenblick 15) as Jeffery would say, but during the process, Jeffery falls off his chair and gets a bloody nose. Jeffrey begins to “scream like a banshee and the drop of blood turned into a torrent” ( 17). Even though this…

be their style, their attitude, or in my case, their personality. I was so tired of hearing people complain about me, that I performed a short experiment during my freshman year. People said that I needed to calm down and quit acting like a wild banshee all of the time, so I did. I hardly ever let anyone know if I was mad, and I always acted cool and collected. I was rarely hyper; I spent most of my time reading and just chilling. No matter who I was around or who talked about me, I always…

There are five different categories of educational philosophy and I fall a little too obviously in the Existentialism category. Once I understood Existentialism however, I realized that I definitely identified with most of this philosophy. As a child I did not understand the value of school until I came to look at everything differently. Looking back at my home life now, I realize that my parent’s absence of passion for learning spilled over into me for the first few years. My father attempted…
