dogs with human intelligence. This is the basis of the novel Fifteen Dogs written by Andre Alexis. It is a story that forces one to ponder many topics about how intelligence affects the individual, especially an individual who has never experienced it before. Love and Power are two topics that arise frequently, and this novel demonstrates that the two exist independently of one another and that life is the journey of trying to find the perfect balance of each. Whether it is obvious or not a…
It’s a good idea just it’s my week with Blaise so I would have to talk with Sam which i’m pretty sure he wouldn’t mind. An extra week with Blaise I would love one, but I also need another week off for sleep i've been so tired. As my week with Blaise was ending I got some stuff of Blaise's packed up ready for him to go to his dad’s. I got my mom to take us over there I told my mom it might take me a while. When…
In the picture I chose for my article, there are two people in it. There is a boy dressed with a black suit and a green tie, smiling, at the camera with a girl in a green dress. I chose this picture because although they both look happy in the picture they have a bad past. The boy in this picture is the girl’s brother, Francisco, and the girl in this picture is Sandybel (me). In the past both the boy and the girl would fight all the time no matter what. Whether it was about food or whenever it…
In fact, he was out of town. First, you act as though my children murdered her and then you all but accuse my husband of doing it. Now you give me this look as if I would do something that horrible,” Marlene said raising her voice again. “Just one second, I need to talk with my supervisor. I want you to wait here?” Marlene nodded her head that she would wait as he left the room. “We have enough evidence to hold her. I am positive she murdered her mother and we can prove it. I am ready…
Emily Sidden Tenek the Martian and the Study of Earth “Hey, Tenek! Come look at the new spaceship that the company just bought. It’s so amazing!” Fleebie exclaimed from outside of the observatory. Tenek took a peek out the door and said “Yeah, it’s got some nice rocket boosters and it’s got a nice shape to it, but if you’ll excuse me I need to get back to work. I’ve got to finish my report of what I’ve found out about Earth.” “Oh, what’s the big rush?” Fleebie asked whimsically₁.…
lifted your hands; reaching out. I clutched onto them and held them tight; savouring the feeling, the darkest parts of me knew I may never experience this again. I closed my eyes. All these years I have been battling, clinging to the one thread of hope that maybe one day things might be different. But my hope has vanished. It’s a speck of dust travelling with the wind. I have fallen into acceptance. Nobody has a chance, we mean nothing to death. We are all shadows on the wall of time,…
knew so little about when God was going to call your name. The morning of a bright sunny day. Waking up to have you in the kitchen burning toast And setting the fire alarm off. “Dad the toast!” I yelled, trying so desperately to see where I was going. One would yell and scream, in fear and disorder. But your response was only sweet and unassuming. “Sorry dear. I thought the toaster would beep on its own!”. I smiled, despite the smoke slithering out the toaster. A day, starting with a laugh; I…
better. I must ask you, once again mother, please let me down from the pedestal you have placed me on. While I am flattered by all your more than kind words, I implore you to cease the sweet-talking. I am not worthy of most of your compliments, for no one is truly as perfect as you claim I am. People might think lowly of me if all they hear you talk about is how worthy I am of idolizing. For the thousandth time mother, I’m not. I would hate for people to think me vain or egotistical. Further,…
Sometimes all Nico needs is a little push. An actual one. Right between the shoulderblades to be exact. Thank you Annabeth. I’d noticed Nico staring at Reyna for weeks now. I always notice more than is good for me. Like, say, one day, I noticed Nico standing just the right distance away from Reyna that a good push would send him toppling into her. Most likely he’d hit her. So I decided to play Matchmaker. I reached diagonal from where I was sitting with Percy and pushed right between the…
There he was, amidst those whose fate was so tragic my heart ached. He was entering the castle I knew and loved. My father allowed those who were going into the maze one final feast. The house was decorated with flowers and ribbons hanging from the ceilings accompanied by delicacies the chefs prepared only this time of year. I hated this time of year, the time when innocent civilians were sacrificed for my father 's Minotaur. It always seemed like the angel of death was lurking through the…
