The measurements of our world strive to quantify the quality of our lives. The scales we use to measure ourselves and how we feel, fail to understand the concept of life itself. The tears of joy felt by a mother; the symphony of silence held by a survivor; the loudness of a murmur spoken as a prayer. Life is a composition, led by a melody, woven piece by piece, tied by our hopes and colored by our sorrows. Like darkness is the absence of light, pain is measured by the absence of happiness.…

In the book The 5 people you meet in heaven by Mitch Albom, an amusement park worker named Eddie takes his last walk on earth when he went to go fix a drop ride called Freddy’s Freefall. A pulley ripped one of the cables, steel wires on one of the carts, and the cart was hanging over the amusement park. When Eddie and Willie went up on a ladder to fix it, Willie released the cart when he was told not to because he did not hear Eddie say not to release the cart. As a result, Eddie fell onto a…

“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true” (Kierkegaard). This quote by Soren Kierkegaard accurately expresses the essence of the government in most dystopian societies: It leads the people to believe that everything that they stand for is true, and the majority of people then refuse to believe what is true once they are brainwashed. In 1984 by George Orwell, the civilization of Oceania is brainwashed into believing that…

In Chronicle of a Death Foretold there is a progression to the narrative structure. There is also a chronology to it although there are times where there are flashbacks or mention of things that happen later but other than that it pretty much follows the order in which the events happen. The first part of the narrative structure would be the morning of Santiago’s death. The morning is pretty much mentioned and elaborated on in the first chapter. Several characters are also mentioned in this…

The book I chose for this project was Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. I am going to talk about the first three sections not the whole book, since it is a long book and it jumps around so much it would take a lot longer to talk about. This book is a hybrid of fiction and drama. The first section of the book is “The Pacific Journal of Adam Ewing” it is a journal written in the mid 1800s by a sailor stuck on an island while the ship he was on gets repaired. The journal has a total of fifteen entries…

Essay #1; Life and Literature Have you ever wondered how life and literature are connected? We make our own choices just like characters in a story. In my opinion, we are just like characters in a book, we both make our own decisions. In life we also narrate because we are stuck in our own perspective. Life and literature are connected through characterization, conflict, and narration because we are our own author, when we characterize people and narrate going through life and conflict.…

"Unless you try to do something beyond what you've already mastered, you will never grow." This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson holds true to many aspects of life, whether you've experienced it or someone you know has. In my personal experiences, I've noticed this quote coming into play with a lot of things I do and how I carry myself through advancing in the activities I perform and the habits I have when learning new things. Some examples I will present to you include my experiences when teaching…

In “The Stolen Party,” Author known as Liliana Heker uses Third Person Limited point of view to make the story surprising and suspenseful. A suspenseful story will want the reader to continue the story to find the ending of the book, or in our case, A short story. One reason for using third person limited is to know and only care about the protagonist's feelings. If it was first person, there would be no narrator, and we would only see her opinions, and possibly what is not really happening.…

“911 what is your emergency? We will send an ambulance right away.” As thick red colored blood came sputtering out like a waterfall, making a pool around me. The warm sensation of another person’s plasma all over my face and hands made my body quiver. It tasted like metallic when I licked my lips for insurance that I was still alive. The car kept on moving as if it never hit a 112 pound juvenile. People hit someone and are never caught. How does someone hit a human being with their car and drive…
