to tie up my happiness and poke and prod it to figure it out. I’d rather just revel in it and experience my peace since I know it can’t last for long. At least not here, not like this. I sit in the long grass as I feel my skin absorbing the sun. The grass prickles my arms and itches, but I don 't care. It 's that perfect temperature today. A gentle breeze sweeps the excess heat away and the clouds dance above like water swirling in and out of each other 's white wisps decorating the pale blue…

face misfortune and mishaps. For example, when Odysseus tells the Cyclops his real name on page 227 (lines 558-562), “‘Cyclops if any man on the face of the earth should ask you blinded you, shamed you so —say Odysseus, raider of cities, he gouged out your eye, Laertes’ son who makes his home in Ithaca!” he ends…

by Hans Andersen called “The Little Mermaid” sounds like a story based on this quote. This story is about a young mermaid who wants to be loved. In the story the young mermaid has a growing obsession with the world of the humans. She dreams of the day that she is allowed to go to the surface, sit on the rocks, and watch the ships go by. The girls are only allowed to go to the surfaces at the age of fifteen and at night. Since she was the youngest it seemed like, she had to wait for what seemed…

These days’ teens are coming out as LGBT in their early teens, as early as thirteen years of age. 1.6 million youth are homeless each year with 40% of them identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. These numbers are disproportionally high because 7% of the youth population in the United States is LGBT (“True Colors,” 2016). Each year $4.2 billion is spent on homeless assistance programs with less than 5% of this funding, $195 million, allocated for homeless children and youth. Out…

I think everyone has their own delusions that they enjoy being a part of, well, at least for a while. How long though can we live out these delusions, until life catches up to show us we must come to terms with our inner demons? I’ve always told others and myself that honesty is the most valuable asset anyone can have, but then I live out my lie.

word choice before this class had been extremely basic and simple. Another thing that I needed to work on was being able to convey my message on paper. I typically had very good ideas but when I go to put them down on paper they could not seem to come out the way I want them too. My biggest thing coming into this class was trying to work on my…

hundred of this god-awful, wretched day and she can only think of one thing to do. So she sits in the dark corner of the bar and she drinks. And she drinks. And she drinks. And nobody stops her from drinking, (as if they could), and when the bar finally closes it 's just as well because there 's a song on the bar radio that her Daddy used to play in his truck and that 's the last thing Wynonna really needs. So she cradles a cold bottle of something right out the swinging double doors and…

I?” An entire branch of philosophy devoted to how to approach the question and still, I have no definite answer, though there has been some great art to come out of it. Thankfully, I have a bit more… “specificity” to work with, limits have been put down, as well as the much easier “why” to scribe. All about the idea of nature. That laid out, it turns the question from “Who am I?” to why am I doing this? The question more manageable, it’s time we answered it, and it’s not all bad. At least I…
