It was the day of the Halo world championship I was first on leader board. The winner would receive one hundred thousand dollars as their prize. Nobody was going to take that prize from me. Each match was a FFA slayer battle, 8 players, no power weapons, no vehicles, a single life, and power ups allowed. I couldn’t afford a single loss because second place was right on my heels. There were twenty matches left. Every match I would relentlessly cut down my opponents not giving them a single…

Coming of Age The general statement made by Harper Lee in her novels To Kill a Mockingbird and Go Set A Watchman is that with the coming of age, some people tend to modify their way of life in order to co-exist peacefully with others - some do not mutate their identity, therefore becoming a “stranger at a cocktail party” with past acquaintances. More specifically, Atticus’ transformation between the novels caused a controversy among readers - Jean Louise exhibits those who have not been…

Thura stood at the end of the great jagged chasm. The young orc’s powerful hand instinctively tightened on the ax as she sought in vain a way across. Thick and muscular of limb and torso, the orc was a skilled fighter despite barely being of adult years. Yet now her broad, rough-hewn features twisted into something more childlike, more fearful, as she ran back and forth without success in her search. Her wide, tusked mouth frowned. Thura shook her head and murmured a wordless protest. Her heavy…

Every child has a hero even adult have heroes. My hero is Captain America, but others put their faith in just normal people. Well, these “heroes” are far from normal, they just do not have super powers. These worshiped people are usually the outcome of a crazy transformation, doing too much of something they were not supposed to, and/or being famous already and being “normal”. I do not care for these “hero” figures. Heroes should be people who have really done something, like war heroes,…

A hero is often defined as someone with outstanding achievements and noble qualities. Everyone should have a hero. It does not matter if they are human or just in your imagination. My mom is my definition of a hero. In my opinion, she is more of a hero than any superhero. Anyone who knows her, knows that she has the biggest heart, and she would give the shirt off of her back to anyone in need. My mom is a protector, a leader, and a mother. Protection is an emotional quality every hero carries…

First, I apologize for not responding more expeditiously regarding your letter asking for support at Springwood. You’re one of the few who are at the center of my character and Christian based education and I owe you and the school more than I could ever give monetarily. I thank you for pouring your life into me when I was much younger and then as an adult when you sent a “rock” with me into combat. You planted many seeds of which some are still sprouting as validated by this letter.…

Ever since the day of the greeks, mankind partook in sports. From the first race, the first fight, the first game, these sports became a social construct. As a social construct, jointly constructed understanding about the world that form the basis for shared assumptions and reality, their social purpose can be assess, but this purpose was often different on a situational personal level. It can be seen that a single sporting event can have different meanings to different people depending on how…
