Ever After

“Ever fair, ever fair my home; ever fair land so sweet. […] Tyrants and cowards, we fear them no more; behold your power protects us from harm; we live in freedom by sharing all things equally. We live in peace within your loving arms” (Shawl 63). Everyone yearns for a home where they belong, a place where they can be free from persecution and oppression. This is the ideal society. This is Everfair, a small, bold nation tucked inside of the Belgian ruled Congo, a safe haven for people of any…

important do. We sat around for about an hour until we had finally decided on where we wanted to go get lunch. We decided we were going to go to Moe’s Southwest Grill and get a burrito. We head to Moe’s and we ordered our food, sat down and ate. After we ate our food we went back to my friend Mitchells house to do the same thing we were doing before, which is absolutely nothing. We see all of our friends on Instagram at the beach. Mitchell jokingly called one of our good friends and asks if we…

Perseus and Heracles are both boys and they could be considered Greek heroes. Perseus and Heracles are half-brothers and Zeus if their father. Both of them are the protagonists in their stories. Perseus defeats Medusa and Heracles does 12 labors assigned to him by Eurystheus. Perseus and Heracles may both be considered Greek heroes, but they led completely different lives. Perseus and Heracles were very different people at times. One example of a difference between them is Perseus…

In the next fifteen years, I hope to acquire a doctorate degree in Physical Therapy, a master’s degree in Athletic Training, and a lifetime of support for people struggling with mobility issues. Ever since I was very young, my parents enforced a physically active childhood. I believe that this quality has enabled me to push others to pursue physical activity and enjoy their talents. Through hard work and dedication, I will be able to complete all of my dreams in life. In the future, I see…

anything could revitalize an interest in CW's The Flash it's a giant, evil, telepathic gorilla. After last week's battle with Zoom, Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) is wheelchair bound after a spinal injury that would have permanently crippled any regular human being. Eerily reminiscent of Barry's mentor from season one, Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh), Barry finds himself in a state of helplessness and self-loathing after being publicly defeated by the earth-jumping Zoom. Going into this week's…

indescribable, and I know by experience. Under the sea is the most beautiful, breathtaking, and wonderful place I have ever seen. The various corals, fish, and mammals all living together is truly astonishing. Being a temporary part of such a large, fragile ecosystem is overwhelming. Every time right before I jump in the water, I undergo a wave of excitement and thrill. The best sight I ever endured underwater was when I was diving in Grand Cayman with my father. We went swimming through caverns…

movements. The smile that the attendant plasters on is entirely fake and probably has been for the last five to ten years of these types of marriages happening in society. After all, it’s not about how the bride feels about the dress, it’s what makes her the most innocent looking as to be more appealing to her betrothed. Any joy that had ever came from wedding dress shopping had been sucked out as soon as the government began deciding who gets to marry who. Hence the lifeless forms of the brides…

own life. If an Indiër from a lower caste ever goes to another culture for a while, a country without the cast system, it will be very strange for that person. The caste system is not always a dainty way of life, but for them it is safety and their comfort zone. They do not really know anything else about another way of lifes. Parents and family argue that this is a good one, so the children will adjust their lives in that system. When they are ever out of it in another country, they have to…

the rink lay only twenty minutes away from a beach and boardwalk, my family decided we could go after their morning games with some teammates. Turned out those plans became squashed. I couldn’t stand the fact of not playing while my sister could. My parents and I talked about my urge to play, when it hit us. Why don’t I just play for another team! My dad looked up all of them teams and contacted each…

struggles in his life, physically and mentally. He fought between life and death with the largest fish anybody had ever seen. In the end, he lost his fish to sharks who mutilated the fish. He still killed all of the sharks but he felt defeated because he fought so much and still didn’t obtain what he hoped for. The old man also had the pride and dignity of even meeting the fish. No person would ever experience the fish like Santiago did. He wasn’t destroyed, though, he still had what he’s had…
