you now know, singing…” (Coldplay, 2002), because it exemplifies how my time with my family and friends is quickly ticking away. What is your perfect love song? My idea of the perfect love song is “The Way You Look Tonight” by Frank Sinatra. Being a huge Frank Sinatra fan all of my life I was tempted to use so many of his songs as my “perfect” love song. However, this song never fails to amaze me. My favorite lyric is “Someday, when I 'm awfully low. When the world is cold. I will…

“Music has power – especially for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.” (AFA Website 2016).

Since humans are living longer and our older population is increasingly getting larger there are more and more people suffering from Alzheimer’s than ever before. There are currently over 5.4 million Americans suffering…

It was indeed not the “perfect crime” they imagined. On May 21, 1924, they kidnaped Bobby Franks a fourteen-year-old boy, bludgeoned him to death in a rental car, and then dumped his body into a culvert in the next town over. The crime that had been written about hundreds of times “These varied texts, first published in 1924 and then in…

Movies and books have been around for many, many years, and books go back to the start of time. Some people have taken a famous book and made into a picture show, or as we know it today, a movie. However movies can only be so long. Producers have to take away and add stories from the book to fit it in about 2 hours. Many of the movies keep the main story line, but sometimes producers of the show really switch it up. The Devil’s Arithmetic, by Jane Yolen, was written about a Jewish girl who is…

Ever since the evolution of humans, conflicts have been arising, things from making a new America, slavery, and many wars. Each conflict that we have overcome has affected someone. Some questions that help us understand better of this conflict is what are some ways that people respond to conflict, does responding a different way change the outcome, and does the way you respond change the way people think of you? To start things off, how do people respond to conflict? There are many ways people…

According to Anne Frank herself, ¨I hope Kitty [Anne’s imaginary friend] that I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.” Anne Frank wrote this passage in her diary before World War II. She wrote this before Hitler invaded the Netherlands. Previous to the war, Anne’s only problems were school, stress, and girl drama. Little did she know that much more troubling times were ahead of her.…

Anne frank is a true story about a girl named Anne frank who was in hiding for two years in a attic. People like Anne frank can best respond to conflict by staying positive through the most of it. Anne frank kept her hopes up while she was stuck in the attic and she would put postcards on the wall to imagine what it would look like. In I Am Malala , Malala stays with positive thinking even tho she was in the hospital and was shot in the face. Also in The Boy with the striped pajamas shmuel…

One of the best literary works of art, to come out of the atrocities of the Third Reich, is by far in my opinion, "Diary of a Young Girl" by Anne Frank. The Diary is, without doubt, a singular accomplishment. Its lucidity, honesty, and peircing insight are heartrendering enough to make ones self, look inwards. I was thirteen when I first read her Diary, and it opened my eyes, a direct link, to how it was for a young girl, just like myself, to go through something entirely different, an…
