End time

Two minutes. Two minutes late. In the System, there is no room for diverting from the schedule. In “Repent Harlequin!” Said the Ticktockman by Harlan Ellison, there exists a futuristic, dystopian society in which time is of the utmost importance. Every minute— every second— is meticulously scheduled in order that the society may run smoothly. However, with the System being run this way, no one possesses the ability to think freely or have their own head on their shoulders. One man, the Harlequin…

miserable outcast hugs some memory or some illusion" (Brainyquote). Many people like to live in denial about negative things at the expense of reality. Hiding away pain and pushing away unwanted feelings seems like the best way to live, but at the end of the day, time doesn't wait when life gets tough. The made-up illusion created by loneliness eats away at people until reality isn't viable. One of the many people who experienced life-changing alienation is John Cheever. He was the ashamed…

you’re attracted to the future? Let’s hear as Nancy Situ explains her complicated relationship with the future in her essay “The Future is All I Think Of”. Nancy: I’m in love with him. Who do you ask? The future. Perhaps it’s hard to imagine a state of time as someone to love so let’s put him in simpler terms. Imagine someone that abuses you, loves you, scares you, but comforts you. That’s the future. It’s impossible not to think about him. He’s always there. He’ll be there tomorrow, the day…

Collaborating with others during this year, was especially essential in my Honors Algebra II class and my Spanish Language and Composition B course. For my algebra II class, students would be tested at the end of every chapter and were allowed to work with those surrounding them. I recall once when I was sitting with my team, and I had forgotten how to factor a polynomial. My friend then explained to me my mistakes while I listened to how she solved the problem…

Abraham Lincoln once said: “In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in those years.” I think this quote really fits with my friend Victoria Meyer, but if she were here right now, she would be saying “That is the dumbest quote I´ve ever heard. Don´t say that at my funeral.” My favorite and funniest memory of Victoria is us and a couple other friends went driving on a four wheeler around the farm. Someone unfortunately let Victoria drive the four wheeler, and she…

Out of all the characters in the plays I would chose Christine, for I'm curious to she how she's doing after the events of the first play and so she can have a fun day with no fears. At the start of the day we shall head off to downtown Toronto and watch street performers for a couple of hours and then go find some food. My reasoning behind this is Christine has talent and I would want to show her some of the amazing talents. After eating we can go off to Ripley's Aquarium and see some awesome…

trend has people wondering how soon a movie could be put together for the big screen. While the typical movie could take up to three years, there is plenty of people discussing the idea that a movie with a good story could be in the theaters by the end…

the moment. I've made it a priority to check in with my senses at least once every half an hour. And I've found that the more I consciously do it, the more I naturally do it. - Slowing down. I take the time to really listen to people instead of rushing them through a conversation. I take the time to read an article in its entirely instead of skimming through it so I can move on to the next thing. I try to slow down my moments and enjoy them, and I find that the more I practice this, the more…

Two days ago, I made a mistake, a very big mistake. In the next few hours, as I’m typing this, a breakup could occur because of my blunders. Let’s start with the beginning of how this all happened. It all began two days ago when a friend of mine, Steven, that lives all the way in Washington, and I, decided to collaborate. Our collaboration involved in creating a plan that would help one of our friend out, Chavez, with his online relationship. Chavez was dating a person named Dazz; at least…

(something). This only worsened when in Williamsburg their paths cross once more. In a proposed marriage with Mr. Boran, a relatively older man who is a coworker of Mr. Madden, he attempted to get Lavinia alone without the Madden’s knowledge. This ends with Lavinia escaping his clutches, but…
