morning when she was born Jen was with me. For, Jen is all I really had left. They handed me the small delicate newborn baby girl, and I cried. I cried tears of joy. Never in all my life did I ever see a more beautiful baby girl. She had dark brownish-black thick hair. It seemed to be a mix of Aiden’s hair color and my hair color. She had my nose but everything else was a spitting image of Aiden. She doesn’t realize how lucky she really is yet to be blessed with such awesome facial features. …

A hero doesn’t need to have superhuman abilities like flight, superstrength, or invincibility. The attributes of a hero can be anyone who follows superb morals, make an effort to help anyone, and help make a difference in our world. The definition of a hero is based on people’s opinion of what a hero do to help people. While some people believe that a stereotypical comic superhero is a definition of a hero, others believe that a hero can be anyone. Ernest Hemingway, the famous author for a…

“While the standard polarization of human being in a crime story is normally dividing by the law abiding citizens from the criminal, the characters here are soon divided on the basis of sex differences.” (Alkalay) In Susan Glaspell’s “Trifles” Glaspell uses a murder investigation of a woman’s husband to demonstrate the different roles of men and women in the early 1900’s. Glaspell shows the reader, through small significant objects that the men think are inessential to illustrate the greater…

It is here in the book, where Rick introduces the second portion of his teaching and calls it: Purpose #2: You were Formed for God’s Family. And uses the verse,“I am the vine, you are the branches”, from John 15:5 for the foundation of this section. He begins Chapter 15: Formed for God’s Family, by introducing the reader to Hebrews 2:10a which says “God is the One who made all things, and all things are for His glory. He wanted to have many children share His glory.” In the beginning when God…

Through the Stand Your Ground Law hundreds of criminals walk away from murder with no sentencing or punishment. Due to its many flaws a murder can walk free. Abused by most people, the law allows for someone to kill in cold blood and simply plead self-defense. The Stand Your Ground Law could have been beneficial in many cases but the constant use of abuse to avoid incarceration is appalling. A law intended to protect our rights and property was written so poorly that it could be twisted in the…

Betrayal, is a word typically associated with the feelings or thoughts that you or someone might feel crossed, hurt or used. That was how I felt the day my best friend had told me she was pregnant, I felt off balance as if the simple thought of her even having a child was inconceivable. It made me sick and angry, that her life was thrown away so easily just because her boyfriend failed to use proper protection. My acceptance over the truth eventually broadened along with my best friend’s belly…

The Korean War was an avoidable war that we didn’t need to intervene in. The Domino effect was still an acceptable cause to go to war. It was the thought that if one country’s government fell to communism, then more would follow in its path. We had a tough time fighting them though, because of physical geography. That’s most of the reason we didn’t win the war, we weren’t ready for the terrain. The battle of pork chop hill was one of the most important battles. Being in the mountain’s it…

The documentary film on the way to school was a very good film. I liked how at the beginning it states that “too often we forget how lucky we are to go to school”. That illustration really got me thinking that we who are able to go to school in America and many other developed countries truly are lucky. I myself need to realize the opportunity I have right now and how fortunate, and lucky I really am. I found this documentary to be very inspirational and motivating by the time I was done…
