Dice

Memories Growing up and traveling to Mexico as a child I remember my mother always packing our old, outgrown clothes. She would pack pretty much everything we no longer used that was in fairly good condition. Jeans, shirts, dresses, shoes then she would go out and buy towels, jackets even, irons. I never really understood why we would take all these things with us. “They sold them in stores didn 't they?" I thought as a 12 year old girl. We would travel with 2 big suitcases each and we would…

in all those years came back in an instant and it felt good. But I realize that I made a lot of spelling mistakes which I only realize now because I that time I did not know those rules. This is proof that I have grown as a writer because I know no dice spelling mistake that I was not able to notice at that…

My Personal Playlist and Transcendental Justification Icarus, Bastille, 2011 I personally love this song simply because of the Greek Mythology reference, as well as the really cool entrance; and I think that transcendentalists might like it as well. My interpretation of this song is that it is talking about how young people search for happiness by doing dangerous and risky things (i.e. Icarus got excited and flew up towards the sun), that may lead to them getting hurt (the sun melting the wax…

as the bald men and the two friends go back to play or gamble. This is shown in how they are all leaning forward with bent legs, walking into and out of a circle really quick. They also move their arms and hands in a shaking as if they are rolling dice or playing a card game. After this, one of the two friends, then stops to signal everyone in with a sharp arm movement of each arm, signaling to one side, and then the other until everyone is huddled in. They then proceed to interweave in and…

What Beast Should I Become? There comes a point in life in where we have to make the most astronomical decision of our young lives. What college will we choose to attend? This question is entirely more complex than some of our young minds can fathom. Here is the biggest opportunity of our lives. Our opportunity to travel to new places, meet new people, and an opportunity for our social lives to explode. With all this excitement that lies ahead what are we waiting for? Indecisiveness, we do not…

Ted Conover’s Coyotes is a first hand description of illegal immigration from a point of view that many Americans may have maybe never before considered. It is descriptive and emotional, and at many times controversial. The US has seen a rapid increase in immigrants who have come into the US seeking better lives for themselves and families. These immigrants, like those throughout US history, are generally hard workers and make important contributions to the economy through their productive labor…

Brian Bada Mrs. Clark English 1V 31 October 2017 Ch.2 One of the problems we have in our society is identifying a women’s role in society. A man’s role in society is easy to define. A man is usually the breadwinner of the family and is responsible for providing and taking care of the family. On the other hand, a woman’s role in society has evolved over time. It used to be that a woman was supposed to take care of the house, have children and take care of them. Now the perception of women has…

Slowly but surely Alzheimer’s disease took my great-grandmother from our family. My great-grandmother was 100 years old when she was taken from us. I want to back track some when we actually had her knowing us but beginning to show signs of this terrible disease. I guess I really did not notice that she did not remember me but with 11 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren to remember it was understandable. My mom would take my brother and me to visit her often since we lived in the same town…

From infancy, lying and manipulating are actions we are taught are wrong. The concept of wrong and right, good and bad is embedded into our every thought and decision. In spite of that, hunger for entertainment and social breakthrough creates a diversion in our minds, slowly convincing us the “wrong” is not so bad; letting us ignore whom it may hurt. In the film The Truman Show, directed by Peter Weir, Truman Burbank is initially an unwanted newborn that is, for the first time, legally adopted…

The Supernatural and the Bible: Two Forces That Guide the Mariner and His Crew Taking something old and turning it into something new is an act most everyone has done at some point in time. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a perfect description of the re-salvage of Greek and Roman stories that the author uses in his writings. In this short story, author Coleridge, beautifully portrays an English ballad in the Romantic Period and offers a delightful, yet eerie, twist…
