When you finish this game you have a lot of questions: Who are the Giants? What did the King steal from them? Why does Nashandra need you to open the door to the throne? why does the herald WANT you to ascend the throne of want? Why doesn’t the king sit upon the throne? What is the throne of want?. To explain I’m going to start at the end and work my way back through the story, this might be strange but there is a reason for this its because most characters in dark souls 2 are driven by a…

The American population of French Canadians grew and grew over the years.” A total of 100,000 French Canadians are estimated to have immigrated to the United States between 1900 and 1910”(Ember 292). Canadians thought they were doing way better with American salaries until they went through the struggle of the horrible working…

June 8th, the first night of summer before “The Boys” leave for college. Ellijah, Bryce, Tommy, Brandon, and TJ go off to a camp site no where near home. A solid 6 hours away in the Minnesota Boundary waters. As they set off, many of them were tired except Tommy and Brandon. As they are driving up, they have nothing to talk about, so Brandon does what he does best, and starts a stupid conversation. “Have you heard of Slenderman or Bigfoot?” said Brandon. Tommy replied, “Only Bigfoot but not…

The members of the bow priesthood control both internal and external political matters. The Spanish instituted the positions of governor, lieutenant governor, and assistants. The head bow priest normally would be governor. As for…

Privilege is a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular group of people. The United States is what most people would consider a very privileged people. However, most of us do not think that is so. That is because we do not get what we want the moment we ask it. If only we could really see how privileged we are because other people in this world suffer so much. Like the quote that says if the whole world will throw away all their problems into one pile…

Certain images or motifs invoke certain feelings. Movies use rain to signify sadness. Bunnies and baby animals are symbols of innocence and rebirth, especially around springtime. Using imagery to evoke a certain feeling is a powerful tool, as it can cause the reader to emotionally connect with a composition. Edgar Allen Poe uses imagery masterfully in The Raven to lace his poem with a melancholy mood. Without it, The Raven would falter and lose its layered depth. The Raven begins in a room,…

It has been implied that knowledge is power and in order for women to empower themselves education is required. Ember maintains, “Education almost always increases status, and the more girls and young women are educated, the greater the likelihood that their status will increase.” (Ember 2015: 220) In addition, the beginning of greater equality for women in Cuba began with free education that was prevalent by 1901 which meant 63% of the population…

[then] s[i]t[ting] together by the fireplace looking at the charcoal embers… [thinking] of all the other people in the world who had spent their evening, each in their special way.” The couple does not change anything…

I have now written five short stories, several poems, and three unfinished novels. Yet, my passion for writing has not waned. However, this passion did not always exist. The catalyst that ignited the fire was an assignment. Despite it being school related, this was no ordinary homework. “Class, today we write a short story in honor of our poetry curriculum” those were the words that lit the path for a future I had never dreamed. For that assignment is one of the best occurrences to happen, it…
