dreamed of--growing up. In a world in which all we see is superficiality, it is a true privilege when we get a glimpse into other’s real selves. Therefore, the painting that has always captured my attention is The Scream by Edvard Munch. Since the dawn of time, humans have been moving forward, opening new doors, and, most importantly, constantly searching for perfection. Unfortunately, we haven’t always succeeded. It is in the very definition of humanity to be sometimes mistaken, confused, and…

Is every single piece of writing completely original? Do authors take even the smallest of ideas from older stories and apply them to their own? Thomas C. Foster claimed in his book How to Read Literature like a Professor, “…there’s no such thing as a wholly original work of literature” (Foster Online).

Threngar and I both paced about the tavern, biting our fingernails in fear of what awaited us. It usually was an honor to be issued a quest by the King, especially when he personally seeks you out. But what King Blaise had in mind was far from any ordinary quest, it was a suicide mission. Ever since my retirement I’ve longed for the chance to get back on the battlefield, and I know Threngar has as well. We were once King Blaise’s personal guards, tasked in taking care of whatever threatened him…

Like any night worth un-living, Spike started it with a fight. Rumors had been circulating about William the Bloody throwing his lot in with the Slayer, and it wasn 't doing wonders for his popularity in Sunnydale. However, it did make for some pretty good fights. As far as he knew, Buffy had spent at least one night in the hospital, and he supposed the next three resting. Scarcely expecting to see her tonight, he was surprised when she pulled an attacking vamp off of him. "Looking…

Interpretive Paper 1 “Thou shall not kill” is a fundamental belief in today’s society, yet during times of war, breaking this commandment is not considered a sin. Instead it is a necessary action to properly serve and protect the country. However, when modern-day soldiers return from battle they generally do not discuss the details of the war to the public.
