Chant

Describe the experience I decided to visit the Hindu Temple on Lackman Road in Shawnee, Ks. My first impression of the temple is that it was clean and well kept. In fact, there were people painting the entry gate as I drove in. As I walked up to the front entrance, I noticed that the sidewalk has many different, colorful patterns. In short, the place seemed inviting. Once inside the door, my first sense to be overpowered was the smell…incense and lots of it. I located the lobby sign to…

Our organization, the Bipartisan Solution, opposes both rightist and leftist extremism and advocates for the use of existing governmental institutions to negotiate solutions to contentious political points, a message that has only become more significant after the extremely divisive election of Donald Trump. The Socialist Alternative is a Democratic socialist political party that organized an anti-Trump protest in Oakland the day after Election Day. News reports estimate that seven thousand…

The Scaffold In the Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne has three major events on the towns scaffold. The scaffold is a platform in the middle of the city where people go to be shamed. The scaffold determines the path on which the three main characters Hester Prynne, Mr. Dimmesdale, and their daughter Pearl will end up.

Astronomy, architecture, blood sacrifice. Ancient Mayan civilization is something that I’ve held in particular fascination ever since I visited Chichen Itza, one of the seven wonders of the world. For me, thinking about the technological advancement of ancient structures like Chichen Itza is a void that is easy to be drawn into, and is a pastime I have to actively avoid on weeknights for the sake of productivity. Even now, clutched in the depths of sleep deprivation and rigorous studies, the…

Is She a Witch? The courtroom was loud with excited voices of women and men gossiping about the people who were about to go on trial. The whole town had shown up for the trial. They were there to accuse the people they had once called their friends and family. They were afraid of what had happened in town. The town’s people did not want to be accused of being witches themselves. One of the judges looked out into the crowd and yelled for everyone to quiet down. The other judge announced that…

Today, I’m going to visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park . I ‘m really excited about the trip to the National Park; however, the twelve hour flight will take forever. As I get off the plane, it’s sunny, warm, and bit humid. I am glad I chose October because it's a dry mouth, so I don't expect rain. To begin I have booked a Camper Cabin at the Namakanipaio Campground which is nice because tomorrow I’m going hiking. I booked a five hour visit to explore the summit of Kīlauea volcano along with…

“Sana, Sana, Colita de Rana,” is a silly Hispanic chant which literally translates into “heal, heal, little frog's tail.” My mother, she would sing these few words while rubbing my injured knee with her soft worn hands. My pain would instantly vanish. I would be in awe, after all, my mother just performed a magic. She took away any evidence of pain. These customs which would leave me giddy and giggling would soon leave me feeling self-conscious. I found myself going through stages: realization,…

would usually create cheers and routines while the underclassmen watched and learned. There was the occasional underclassmen who wanted to change a motion or had a better idea altogether. If everyone liked that cheerleader’s idea, that motion or chant changed. As a result, no one was apprehensive when it came to contributing ideas, even though the seniors create the material. I least identify with the achievement-oriented style. I believe success is a great thing and something everyone…

Before the other animals have a chance to react to the change, the sheep begin to chant, as if on cue: “Four legs good, two legs better!” Clover, whose eyes are failing in her old age, asks Benjamin to read the writing on the barn wall where the Seven Commandments were originally inscribed. Only the last commandment remains: “all animals…
