For a long time I had absolutely no interest in books and even less interest in writing. No one encouraged me to read or write, no one cared. My passion for books was purely accidental and effortless. It sparked and bursted to life, burning like a forest fire over night. Learning how to read wasn’t difficult for me, I just didn’t care. While I went through first grade I never picked up a book and tried to read, I would just stare at the pictures; they were more interesting. I was in Germany at…

The Man With The Sword and Me Put yourself in someone else's shoes" a quote as old as time. One sees what they see; how they see it. This skill can be used in literature and in life to further connect to those in the story or in your surroundings. In the play "Antigone" many people accomplish tasks and speak phrases that we could find strange and unreasonable, a woman sacrifices her future life just so she could keep a promise, a man dies because he found a woman dead? Strange, that is until…

For the first time that night Bryan starts the conversation, “what are you hungry for?” Denise sighs in relief at the respite from awkward silence. “I’m just getting the usual. What about you?”…

“But Mummy, there’s monsters…” Mum sighed, set her coffee down, and grabbed the spray bottle. “Where?” She was watching the television. The girl’s mother didn’t bother shutting it off as her daughter admired the monochrome woman in a loose black cloche hat clutching the steel bars like a lifeline. “There!” the girl said as she turned away and pointed to the corner where the light shone on the small door. She pointed to the dark, winding staircase going down, farther than she could see. “There!”…

In Drew Goddard’s Cabin in the woods, five college students arrive at a cabin to vacation for the weekend, unaware of the horrific events that lie ahead. Each character portrayed a standard character type in the beginning of the film, but as the film continues the audience learns more about each character and their true identity. Curt “The Athlete”, Jules “The Whore”, Marty “The Fool”, Dana “The Virgin” and Holden “The Scholar” all play the leading roles. The film is set-up as the stereotypical…

I 've always known that aliens are real. I mean, the universe is way too big to only have life on one planet. There 's so many planets and galaxies out there in our universe and the people of Earth are the only ones in it? I don 't think so. I never get confirmation of aliens, however, until I meet Micah Prescott. We meet about a few weeks before I get proof of aliens. He 's the new kid in school, and as cliché as it is, he doesn 't make a whole lot of friends. Until he meets me, that is. I…

Some people say that their flashbacks are never like the movies’ version, where the screen goes from the character doing something to the screen flashes to her point of view. And the view of the screen is too zoomed in, to where the viewer could not see the person or the object that the character is seeing, causing the character to forget how to breathe and have people worry for them. Everyone is different, but mine are exactly like how the movies describe it to be. Some are triggered by the…

She was one of the girliest girls I knew since grade school, with her stylish culottes and pink garments of all different shades for all different occasions. She was the epitome of a mixture between pure innocence and quirk that boldly took her rightful place in the middle of my heart. Mary Anne wasn’t just all of that; she was also my affectionate girlfriend, my warm-hearted best friend who I could talk about anything with, from the most trivial things to the very meaning of our whole existence…

guilty, I would put it into action. It was three long day's before the case really started to pick up speed, to only have the brakes put on it as the judge post-pones the case for the prosecutors to come up with more evidence. Meanwhile I thought about the consequences for this plan, the day finally came too an end and we all headed out. Clearly I'm going back too my cell. At this point I've only slightly gotten over my parents death, its sad too know they're gone, but I knew they were gonna…

Compare/Contrast: Baylee Betts vs. Brianna Betts Baylee Betts and Brianna Betts, Brianna Betts and Baylee Betts. So similar that even their own mother mixes them up. Their peers at school tell them that they look so much like each other, that their eyes and nose are the same, and that their hair color is the only feature that separates the two. However, there are more differences than similarities between the two sisters. Baylee Betts, drama President, senior Vice President, the older sister…
