Elf

We have all committed the unforgettable sin. And, no, it’s not lust, or anger, or even greed - it’s something less obvious, but more dangerous, a transgression that is fatal to our spiritual growth: we have committed the act of self betrayal. We deny our inner truths, look outside ourselves for answers, we hide who we really are in order to fit in, and we fail to hold ourselves accountable to our own standards and commitments to ourselves. For some of us, it is an occasional slip that feels…

The versatile filmmaker Jon Favreau moves dexterously among different genres – the comedic fantasy “Elf” was an agreeable option for Christmas; the sci-fi action thriller “Cowboys & Aliens” was a sort of prank that didn’t work so well; the unparalleled “Iron Man” is a reference in the cinematic Marvel universe while its second installment lowered the expectations of something big; the comedy “Chef” put some heart and soul in an engaging story whose main character is played by himself. Even with…

The Quidditch match started, it was Bulgaria V.S Ireland, Ireland won by ten points. After the game they all went to sleep, when they woke up Death-eaters were attacking. Barty Crouch’s house-elf was found with Harry’s wand, the elf’s name was winky, and she was later fired. When they got to the school it was announced that there would be no house cup or quidditch cup taking place this year at Hogwarts, because the Triwizard tournament would…

In the book The Scarlet Letter by Nathanial Hawthorne there are many concepts that show throughout the book. Some of the concepts are judgment and isolation, these two concepts show up the most throughout the book mostly with Hester. It is either that Hester is being judged about her crime and sin she had committed. Also Hester sometimes feels that she has to isolate herself from the rest of the colony because she is sort of an outcast. Hester Prynne is not the only character in the book that…

to join the air force, and then I wanted to become a public defender. I believe that it may have come from all of my community service hours and how they helped me see the world in a new light. Every year for as long as I can remember I have been an elf, and helped deliver presents for Operation Santa, to those families who couldn’t afford to give their kids Christmas presents. And every year it humbles me. Everyone needs some shell shock in their life to help them see life through someone…

the best parts of human nature. This is partly a result of the care and love children demand, and their simplistic lives. Pearl, in Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, does not have a life of simplicity, as she is welcomed into the Puritan world as an “elf-child.” However, she indirectly functions as a spark, igniting better versions of those who surround her. Throughout Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, while Pearl serves as a symbol of forbidden passion and natural liberty, she also is a catalyst,…

In chapter 4 of The Hobbit music plays a big role in everyone and everything. In the world, everybody listens to some kind of music and it impacts our lives so different and sometimes it even impacts creatures in the world.

Charlotte Bronte’s novel uses literary techniques to characterize the phases of life her protagonist is leaving and entering. She starts off her novel with her character, Caroline Helstone who is eighteen years old. Charlotte says that at eighteen, she still doesn’t know the meaning of life. This stuck with me because if she is eighteen and still doesn’t know the meaning of her life then what phase is she in? This passage referred to the life before eighteen years old as a tale, a marvelous…
