The Last Jarrell Family Vacation When my father told my brother and I that the family was going on a trip to France, my brother threw the water bottle he was holding into the ceiling fan. Water and plastic exploded everywhere. My dad screamed and my mom whimpered. I laughed. Last week Tommy bought his first car. It’s a used 1998 Toyota Civic. Even though it is old and shitty, Tommy loves his car more than he loves dad or mom or me. Mom took a photography class at the community college…

in the ear of the one who goes, and the one who stays. An ode to everything we experience on this loss, and everything that we know stay forever when the body of the beloved is gone. This song should be heard by night, in absolute darkness with headphones, to obey the sound after initial resistance. It intends to act as the nail that pierced the veil of the mourning, showing the fullness of the non-place, of what was lost. You are not forced to follow my narrative proposal, but ...: The first…

“I would genuinely appreciate it if you left me alone.” She stated rudely, she glanced back at her laptop but placed her headphones on the table. John chuckled, his head, furrowed as he eyed his meal, he sighed out loud and fumbled with his fingers. Before he decided to leave, he planned to give it one more chance and compliment her this time. As he examined her, he noticed…

How technology affects us How technology affects us Technology has changed dramatically over the years and became an addiction to people. People view technology as something that is easy to use, affordable, and very convenient. In my opinion I believe that technology is swaying us from our original goals and we are too dependent on technology but at the same time it is very beneficial to us. The advantages in technology is that it will…

But in the end the handicapper general comes in and kills Harrison Because he was different and was showing the people that they had free will. And you see it in the reaction of George who before his headphones gave the memory disrupting pitch just realized people were meant to be different and they deserve the free will that's been theirs all along. But equality is a thing that people want to much now and days where all different and we need to use those…

Concordia College hosted their annual Homecoming Dance in the Schoenfeld gym. It was a great night to dance, sing, win prizes, and let loose with colleagues. Throughout Homecoming there was a lot of different music being presented, along with a lot of dancing. For example, bachata was danced by many Latino students in Concordia College. There was other genres played such as hip-hop and rap. Homecoming was themed “Under the Sea.” There was under-the-sea decorations, confetti, balloons, and lights…

outside world. All I could see looking out my window were the blurred lights of passing cars in the darkening afternoon. My canada goose jacket rested beside me protecting my hip from pounding itself into the metal framework of the moving bus. My headphones blasted Roy Wood’s Waking at Dawn album, while the other teammates on the track team listened to their own tunes. I clutched my backpack as we neared the arena where people would go from all towns of Bergen County to run in circles as a…

JAYVEE B.DANCALAN BSE-4A2 Beyond Silence “My Silence is just another word for my pain”. If you’ve never been in this kind of life, I’m so sure you’ll never understand what I am feeling right now. So, if you’re just about to judge me and the way I am, I’m telling you earlier, drop this story and do not read the next statements. And to those who wears this kind of shoe, for those who’ve been through this life and for those who’s fascinated…

which is what they people in Harrison Bergeron call equal because they want things to be equal, but really it is fair and life is not fair. In Harrison Bergeron everyone is fair. The people who are too beautiful wear mask, too intelligent they get headphones that make noises to interrupt their thoughts, too strong weights to weight them down to be as strong as the weak by doing this it takes away the opportunities these people have by trying to make the world…

We just spent the past five and a half hours crammed in a little 2007 ford focus. I have an extreme headache caused by my little sister from her obnoxiously singing Christmas music the whole way here. I tried to block it out and put my headphone on and take a nap but just as I got comfortable she would kick me or jab her overly large feet into my back. I would complain to my mom but she would just explain that she has the right to nap just as much as I do. We pulled up to the bed and breakfast.…
