Can We Chill

Sunday school. We also did go to a catholic school. There are going to be times when this is going to still happen because we are not perfect people. So why should it matter what we say and do? Yes, this also is going to mean that we are failing as people. But we can’t quit doing it we are sinners. So why should we stop. Okay, so this also could mean that we will lose those friends that are around us and we want to be true friends with. Sure we are not going to be perfect, but we should try to…

“I know, I know, just bear with me for a minute. Whether we like it or not, the Common Core State Standards are here to stay. So, by a show of hands, how many of you know what the Common Core is?” Every hand in the room went up. “Okay, who would like to give me a thumbnail sketch?” Several hands rose excitedly. “Yes, you,” James said, pointing to a boy in the back row. “The Common Core is another blatant attempt by the federal government to take over control of public education, and centralize…

We agree, this is not the manner in which one should conduct oneself. What she is putting everyone through is wrong. Marrying a stranger is a ridiculous and dangerous thought. It could bring a long list of problems.” Consuelo’s heart bled when she implored “But think of Mauricio. He brought himself a ring and a tuxedo. He is prepared to stand at the altar Saturday. Instead he will have to be dropped off at the nut house.” Sol felt her angst, “We have thought about him. But, in the end she will…

We live in a time where no one really believes in monogamy anymore. Everyone is so dead set on being “independent” or enjoy their youth by “enjoying” the company of the opposite sex. No one wants to find someone who truly makes them happy at least that’s how it seems. Why do we feel the need to be alone and deny something that can potentially be real? I believe that through all that bravado we are all scared. Loneliness terrifies us, but being hurt by someone precious to us or hurting them is…

We're dating. By 'we' I mean my husband of 27 years and of course me. John decided a few months ago that he wanted to make some major changes. John has always been incredibly conservative. Watching every penny, worrying about every event, predicting all possible outcomes and then sort of holding his breath to see if his predictions would come true. These qualities may sound dull as you read them, but the truth is that they've made him a terrific husband and devoted father. We've always known…

All the sudden, Matt heard the doctors yelling to bring in the other clone. He looked across, and saw an exact replica of himself. They grab its- his shoulders and force him down into another chair in an adjacent room. Matt couldn’t believe my eyes. The men forcing him down into the chair was Tam Lin, Daft Donald, and the three men he met in the back of the truck near the eejit pens. One of the doctors shut the blinds, and then Matt heard a gunshot. There was utter silence. Just then a doctor…

better. We live in a selfish-minded world which means the people who have the greatest ability to help, do not. People of more developed countries, whether they are rich or poor, are the biggest contributors to the problem yet we do nothing about it. Everyone who is able should be helping these people who because the global economy, are not able to help themselves. God is the creator. He created us each with different purposes but one of…

part of, well, at least for a while. How long though can we live out these delusions, until life catches up to show us we must come to terms with our inner demons? I’ve always told others and myself that honesty is the most valuable asset anyone can have, but then I live out my lie. There have been countless times I’ve put up this front of might, just to know deep down inside, it 's all a play to hide something from the rest of the world. It can be comical in a way to look back at all the energy…

Hollywood studio system” (33). Americans started picking up the term as well, and then famous directors with certain styles started being known as auteurs. The director’s style crosses over into their films. These are directors like Christopher Nolan, Wes Anderson, Spike Lee, David Fincher, etc. Their style could be coincidental or intentional. One director may be darker, while another is comical. The shot selection is usually consistent between a director’s style as well. An auteur may be the…

May Sarton wrote a poem about AIDS and how having this disease can affect our lives and a loved one’s life. With this disease it sets limits on not only you but of others. She not only portrays it in a negative context but also creates an image of how we can open up to others. AIDS is a disease that not only brings out the fear in people but those who they encounter. AIDS has been out since the 1980 but people still see it as something new. Sarton’s poem repeats words, and emphasize on AIDS.…
