Why are you such a stick in the mud? Why don’t you ever come out with us? All through high school I was asked those two questions every weekend and every time I would just stand there and shrug my shoulder and say, I don’t know. I wasn’t that I did not want to spend time with my friends because I did want to hang out with them; it was that I did not want to get in trouble. I come from a town were social statues meant everything to almost everyone. Therefore, parties on the weekend were a very…

The Congo in The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad is one of the greatest obstacles that Marlow (protagonist) must face when he decides to journey to Kurtz’s station to meet the legendary ivory collector. On Marlow’s journey nature provides a constant and arduous threat that Conrad embodies as the jungle in the Congo. Nature itself in the book has a multitude of meanings and uses, such as an antagonist for Marlow, and a constant theme throughout the book. For Marlow, while on his journey he…

Some of the happiest moments of your mother and I lives were when we brought each one of you home from the hospital. That great feeling and joy can never be measured or really explained, you must experience it for yourself. And maybe that will occur one day for each of you. But, before that day occurs, you must be well prepared mentally, emotionally and financially fit. This led me to this transparent communication to each one of you. I write this letter because speaking directly has become…

Once upon a time, those adventures were everything to me. Ven, Silas and me. Everyone knew we were the three musketeers, the three amigos, and to some’s surprise, the two boys were content with my never-waring presence. Looking back now, I realize how lucky I was. Most older brother’s barely bothered with their younger siblings, let alone a little sister. They would occasionally spend time with them when pressured by their parents, but never out of their own choosing. Silas seemed to always want…

In the story “The Open Boat”, there are four men who are a captain, a cook, an oiler and a correspondent. They were in a tiny boat after their ship sank off the coast of Florida. At first, the crew thought they could be rescued because of the house for refuge and a couple of people showing on the beach. But the fact was cruel so that they were required to depend on themselves. So the captain decided to swim to shore when they still had the strength. In the end, everyone was rescued except the…

Victor Hugo once wrote: “Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise”. Grief never ends. It haunts and buren 's someone 's life for years. In M. L. Stedman’s The Light Between Oceans, grief, loss, and healing is a recurring theme in the novel, as all characters go through at least one devastating loss. Hannah’s husband has died, her daughter’s alive but not with her. Isabel and Tom have two miscarriages and a stillborn baby. These situations are hard for everyone to cope with, and…

Most high school kids play sports like baseball, basketball, football, or they are in some kind of after school activity. All of those sports and activities are awesome during school, but when summer came around there wasn’t much to do in my tiny town of Julian located in Central Pennsylvania. Instead of staying home all summer and twiddling my thumbs day in and day out. When I was fifteen I decided that I wanted to try something different I wanted to get into the sport of riding bucking horses…

When I heard the idea of writing a proposal, in order to get money to improve some part of campus, I was fairly excited and eager to start the assignment. But I soon realized that this assignment would be harder than I had expected. The hardest part for me was trying to figure out something to fix on campus with the allotted $10,000. It became very apparent that this was not a lot of money, and most things would go way over budget in order to be practical and to make a difference. The other hard…

Your emotions play a huge role in ever day life and are what makes us human. Emotions are not on a set schedule, and happen in various ways, for various reasons. In The Story of an Hour, Mrs. Mallard goes through the stages of grief in the time span of an hour. This is very interesting due to the fact that, for most of us, it usually takes a span from at least days, to months, to even years to fully go through the stages of grief. I believe that Chopin’s story is centered on time and emotions by…
