Clock face

system, running smoothly with each tooth landing in the same exact spot at the same exact time over and over and over. Strangely, the education system in America seems to be emulating this exact system. Yet if the american education system was a real clock, it would most likely be running backwards with 140 minutes in a hour. Education in the United States has aimed to achieve that perfect clockwork motion. Each student learns how to be a perfect gear, with each gear running correctly the…

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Off goes my alarm, I shoot out of bed and grab my suitcase and run up the stairs of my house so fast I thought I made a world record. The rest of my family is already up and ready to go. My 7th grade summer had just started, it was only a week in. My mom told us to go to the bathroom and then head to the car and store my things in the trunk of her Jeep Cherokee. Then we were off to the great falls airport. This trip to Great Falls took the longest, almost like the day before…

the servers or my employees. 12:00 PM - I put a paper to the glass window on the door, Jessica understands she stands up and starts walking towards the other side of the room “SIT DOWN!” He's close enough to the door I open it and punch him in the face in seconds 4 adult males jump on him, he's out “I think I have a way to delete the virus” said Jessica with excitement 5 minutes later everyone is desperately trying to delete the virus. The fire department has arrived “You've got to…

from the London based financial information company taps into the need of people for leisure and calls them to thoughtful action about investments through pathos, logos and irony. The at first glance simple arrangement of a sentence fragment and clock parts creates a competition between money and time to entice adult readers new to the investment world to use the company for financial advice; cultured and expected responses are used in a negative light to engender trust and curiosity about the…

Intro In my world, everyone is born with a timer already implanted on their wrists. No one knows how or why we’re born with it: all we know is that it counts down to the moment you meet your soulmate. It took ages for people to reach this conclusion and still, it has been at the peak of human curiosity for as long as I could remember. The Timer has inspired a generous amount of literature (including many famous ones) and even more conspiracy theories than the universal question of life itself.…

The Very Best “Ash blacked out! Ash scurried to the nearest Pokemon center protecting his Pokemon from further harm.” At this point, I shouted, “NO!” and threw my Gameboy to the ground in frustration. Angry tears sparkled in my eyes. I had just lost to my rival, Gary, for the 42nd time in a row. My dream of becoming a Pokemon Master was over. ‘Pokemon’ is a video game in which players journey through a virtual world, collecting monsters and battling to be the very best. When I was in elementary…

Waking up on August 30, 2017, it felt like any other morning: ordinary. I had been in Tokyo for the summer to intern at Kure Engineering Ltd. and everyday I would wake up around 8 am to get ready to leave by 9 am, and my aunt and I would turn on the tv to watch the news before we left. That day was supposed to be no different. However, everything changed when the I turned the tv on. The screen soon filled with the video footage of Kim Jong-Un and the taking off of a missle from North Korea.…

animals were crystal, others were ‘normal’ but those ‘normal’ animals had extremely soft fur, or feathers. Raven tore through layer after layer of glistening clouds, and as she flapped her powerful wings she twirled through the last layer and came face to face with the sky. She glanced at her timepiece and noted that she had ten minutes to spare. In an instant she made up her mind. She was going to enjoy her freedom before her meeting with Nick. She reached up to her hair and removed her…

Life has a way of continuing, of moving on without you, if you let it. Time keeps ticking, the earth keeps spinning and somehow, you keep breathing. Even when the world falls around you and buries you, you still breathe. Eventually, you get back up or face the alternative. Once upon a time, I wanted the alternative, but it wasn’t meant to be. And now I knew why. She was beautiful. Simply beautiful, as if that one single word could even come close to describing what I felt when I looked at her.…

boy dusted in freckles had fallen asleep, oblivious to the tension in the room. On her right, an elderly woman clutched on to the cross hidden under her neck, muttering in an unknown language as if she could ward off the demons masked behind human faces with a single chant. She could tell that the prosecutor was talking from the movement of her lips but she didn't hear a single word. All she could focus on was the boy whose golden locks were tousled to the side, his amber eyes consumed with…
