Friday Night Lights

began the night before at approximately 11:00 p.m when my friends and I plotted the brilliant idea of embarking on our journey of hiking the Haiku Stairs or also known as Stairway to Heaven in Kaneohe Town.The expedition that the three of us embarked on could be appropriately expressed as the true testament of not allowing a genius plan being squandered by a few obstacles. The adventurous journey that was about to begin was the least of our struggles that were to take place that very night.…

Leslie Graham looked at herself in the mirror. She had to be at the bus stop in 30 minutes. She has to be presentable enough to both not attract to much attention from the school or her classmates. She had a clean face. No freckles, no pimples, no other third thing that goes on face. She wore no glasses. Her face was.......okay. Her eyes were a beautiful dark blue that she got from her dad's side of the family. Thank God it wasn't her mother's eyes. They were a boring brown. She had brown…

The scene I will be analyzing is from the 1955 film The Night of the Hunter. The film’s plot is of two young children who are left with a large sum of money from their father who robbed a bank. Their widowed mother, desperate for love, marries Harry Powell (a.k.a. the preacher) who believes he delivers “God’s work” while also killing women on the side. He ends up murdering the children’s mom, and in turn, he becomes their caretaker. He soon finds out that the children know where the money is…

vibrant with orange, brown, and reds, the sunset was basking everything in a soft, orange glow, setting a nice, tranquil atmosphere. When we arrived in the inner city of Washington D.C, it was already dark out, the night sky shockingly had a multitude of bright stars, despite all the city lights. I watched mesmerized as we drove by monuments, giant buildings, businesses and fancy hotels. I had been to a big city before, seeing as I…

stick and hear it crack. Chemicals inside the glow sticks starts to mix together. This is a process call chemiluminescence. Chemiluminescence is a process where light is produced by a chemical reaction. Instead of using an electrical source. An example of this would be if go outside during a fall night and see a firefly glowing during the night fall using its Chemiluminescence. There are chemicals inside one simple glowstick. These chemicals inside the glowstick are called fluorescent dye,…

Description: Starting at the left of the photograph by Margaret Bourke-White, there is a small section of space with just the sky and the a little bit of the horizon at the very bottom. The horizon is so low on the picture that the sand on the beach isn’t shown. Further in from the left of the picture, are two men who are standing in the waves pulling a parachute. The man on the left is wearing a dark top hat and dark clothes. He is facing towards the right, but facing towards the horizon,…

Wild in The West The sound of the wind blowing through the car window was a calming white sound that put me fast to sleep. I awoke faster than I could open my eyes, to a scream, a crash, and a feeling of falling through the air. As my eyes opened I saw only white then an ever approaching darkness it's as if someone had taken a slo-mo video and was projecting it into my eyes. I could only watch as the earth was approaching closer and closer to me. Knowing what came next I flexed every…

was only 2 o’clock in the morning. Palms sweating with blood and a delicate heart that is fighting with itself to continue beating. Everything was a disaster. A faint Siren rang through the hushed neighborhood occupied by 30 small houses and street lights that lit up the dim streets and sidewalks. The smell of death filled Myrtle Avenue and arose from the weightless body. Death was as loud as the laced weed the drug dealers sold outside of the corner store on 28th street. “Shit” Officer James…

“Night Talkers” by Danticat describes the life of a man named Dany who travels to Haiti in hope of letting his aunt know about the death of his parents. In this chapter, we see the interaction between two men and how two men who went through similar situations and are similar in many ways are truly different. Danticat incorporation of the character Claude is significant in order to explain that two men are similar to each other, but in reality they are different. Most importantly, these two men…

overnight in the area. Do not feed the animals. In case of emergency make sure you have a med-kit on your or medical supplies. Each year at Blue Hole we are aware of injuries that have taken place. From someone being attacked by the wildlife late at night mistaken for food, to slipping off the rocks above and plummeting to their death. However, with knowing the risks, adrenaline junkies, nature lovers, and teens continue to go and experience the…
