so much personal, detailed information made John emotional. “I was banging on the door of his privacy. I believed I’d shed some of my own” (Wideman 676). They were not accustomed to sharing but they worked through their hesitation and began to build a closer…
It is a bit surreal to think that I will be a senior at Endicott College in the fall. It feels as if just yesterday that I was 17-years-old, applying to colleges and hoping that once I secured a face-to-face interview, that I would be able to explain why my grades suffered my freshman year of high school.

My Grandmother’s Voice As a child I was always confused by the characteristics of my grandmother, whom I called Mommom. I was born an analyzer. My determination of whether someone was a friend or foe was always by process of careful analysis. Not that I would ever come to a conclusion of this analysis within a short meeting. My analysis of a person always had much thought and consideration. However, I found it difficult to analysis my Mommom when I was growing up. She was firm, a natural born…
down upon. This expression gives the Phidias statue a god-like quality. In my opinion, the artist made the Phidias statue too muscular. I have trouble believing Phidias had the muscles of a Greek god or a present day bodybuilder. The muscular build certainly fits with the ancient Greek aesthetic. The artist probably chose to make Phidias extra muscular on purpose. I assume the artist wanted Phidias to seem god-like so that Phidias could become immortalized in…
