Cheetah

turned into a preteen. Persephone gave her son a gift on this day, she gave him Paw, the puppy of Cerberus. Paw also has three heads, but unlike his father, he can make them appear as one. Paw can also run seventy miles an hour, roughly the same as a cheetah. Aldo his bite has poisonous venom that could kill up to sixteen mortals with just a bite…

Loud cheers and shouts make your ears ring as you sprint through the field as fast as a cheetah. The brown leather ball suddenly feels as heavy as a boulder in your hands as you try to avoid getting tackled. Huff! Huff! Your breath is heavy, and the sun’s light bores down onto your back. Beads of sweat fall down your face, not just because of the running, but the amount of stress on your shoulders. You are almost there, and you can feel the victory, but then a load of weight slams into your side…

The roles that individuals serve in a society are not randomly ascribed, but rather achieved through social cultivation. Individuals learn these roles through a process called socialization. According to Conley, specifically Craig Calhoun, “individuals internalize values, beliefs, and norms” (Conley 2013:118) so that they can be efficient members of society. Interactions with others over a period of time allow people to establish and conform to socially constructed gender labels: male or female.…

Prompt 1 One of the greatest and most renowned biologists of all time, Charles Darwin, wrote a fantastic novel The Origin of Species. The Origin of Species begins with an extraordinary image of existence as coexistence. Darwin describes this through the process of how multiple beings rely on each other for survival. Morton describes this as, “Water and air are like hair and feathers. Living and nonliving beings become the medium in which other beings exist.” (Morton 61) He also goes on to say,…

What is prime reality – the really real? I was thinking ‘What is reality’? I decided to look up the definition. “Reality is the conjectured state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined. In a wider definition, reality includes everything that is and has been, whether or not it is observable or comprehensible. A still broader definition includes everything that has existed, exists, or will exist.” Even though I found this definition, I am still…

having to work for it which has damaged sports today. In Michael Rosenberg’s, “Performance-Enhancing Drugs Should Not Be Legalized”, he proposes that PED use by athletes is inhuman. “But you know who could definitely break Usain Bolt’s record? A cheetah on amphetamines, So what?” (Rosenberg). Rosenberg is suggesting that sports records could probably be broken with the help of PED’s; yet, it is inhumane. Additionally, sports have shifted into the idea that PED development is more important than…

Ding Ding Ding! I wake up to the sound of my alarm, it is 8:30 in the morning. The city of New York is glowing. Snow is falling, kids are laughing, what a magnificent day to be alive. It is hard to imagine waking up to anyone but my fiancé. Ashton is tall and lean. He has dark brown hair, blue eyes and is everything I've ever wanted in a guy. Every day is a blessing to be alive. I walk into the kitchen to the smell of crispy bacon cooking. “Ash, I have a doctor’s appointment today. Can you run…

Yali, who is a politician friend of Jared Diamond asks him a question of “Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo ... but we black people had a little cargo of our own?” (Diamond p.14). Basically what he means is that why do European differ from a majority of the world in term of material goods(cargo). Why is that the white advanced more, had more technology, and more luxuries? Yali wonders, is it because the white race was more intelligent(more superior)than the rest of the…

While sitting on my designated airplane seat, I lifted the window shades to catch a glimpse of the world under me. The once salmon and purple sky transformed into a vast expanse of jet-black that engulfed the mountainous Balkan Peninsula. A canopy of luminous stars materialized amongst the ocean of blackness. Some were dull, merely flickering into existence every now and then, but there was an adequate amount of shimmering stars to illuminate the dark, moonless night. The Adriatic Sea glistened,…
