returns it seems fine on Sunday, but when Monday comes around, Covey attacks. This time things are different though. Douglass defends himself for two hours until Covey finally backs down. Douglass describes the fight as rekindling “the few expiring embers of freedom” and revived his sense of manhood. His outbreak of violence was simply proof that he was becoming self aware and standing up for his own person. Root or not Frederick Douglass had a newfound hope in…

Anticipation and excitement clouds every persons face. Sometimes you see a flicker of annoyance mingled with that very special anxiety. This crowd of people that impatiently stand behind one another waits for something that they have waited for months to view. It doesn’t matter the weather, whether it’s on a dank steamy summers night, or a frostbitten morning some December, these people have come to get access to the latest story.

during my senior year of high school. I know deep down that she always knew I’d end up alone. I don’t really give a shit either way, it’s not like I care. I prefer living alone, always have, and always will. I stare at the glowing embers that I left on the concrete as I debate whether or not to go back inside the pub. After a solid minute of thinking if a couple more shots is worth getting hit on by some creepy old man that hadn’t looked up from my chest all night. I decided…

In Adam’s Curse, Yeats captivatingly exposes Ireland’s migration away from true love to ‘new love’. Yeats enriches his poem with a story of his lost love with a ‘beautiful mild woman’, who has ‘grown weary-hearted’ of him as a result of this ‘new love’. He cleverly interconnects this narration with the reason behind Ireland’s shift away from true love; foreign influence, producing the malformed and distorted, ‘new love’. Communally, through this interconnection enriched with symbolism, imagery,…

Charter Schools have been a debate amongst people since the 1980’s. They officially came onto the scene in 1991. The schools were thought up as a solution to the decline in results from students in district operated school systems. Twelfth graders in America were simply getting out tested by other countries’ students. In an effort to fix the problem these Charter Schools were introduced. Some solutions were to decrease class sizes to increase one-on-one help for students. For this to happen…

beaten quite often and how demanding and horrible his master was. After refusing to be beaten any longer Mr. Covey and Douglass fight out their battle, this was a turning point in his career as a slave. Douglass says “It rekindled the few expiring embers of freedom, and revived within me a sense of my own manhood.” (Douglass). Perhaps this is what Douglass needed to become free, remembrance of his inner-self and confidence. Douglass remained a slave many years after, but vowed to never be…

and would soon be completely engulfed. I ran as fast as I could and kicked the door open to search for my children and beloved wife, but as soon as the door swung open, the ceiling collapsed to the floor, creating just a large pile of hellacious embers and intense heat. As the sounds of pain and agony silenced, I was left alone with the sound of everything I once knew and loved burning” he continued, in-between choking sobs, “I couldn’t even manage to find any remains, and seeing as I lived in…

I was a jerk back in Junior High. I was home schooled so I wasn 't used to socializing outside of the family. I decided to use the "High School Musical" movies as my guide. I know, the stupidity of a 14-year-old girl is amazing! Anyway, back in 8th grade that began changing. The change started in a small windowless room. The air was stale and reeked of cheap perfume. Most of the class was relaxing, chatting with each other near the door and waiting for the bell to ring for lunch. However, on the…
