days were not easy. My father and I had recently moved to a new country and were struggling. Some of our issues with each other and others more personal. Our two person family moved into a house on a sloping hill. Beside us stood a large tropical forest. Nearby -maybe a miles walk- a large old house was had been torn apart. Many of it's materials reused for construction elsewhere. Scrap metal, wood, and nails littered the site. Seeing this kindled my quest for independence;…

Here I woke at the crack of dawn and silently drove past the tracks of the Main Line. Here I hurried to a Celebrantes choir rehearsal to sing “Yesterday” by the Beatles. Here I drifted my attention away from the conductor, listening to the hourly chime bells ring the “Star Spangled Banner” at eight o'clock sharp. Here I made my way with others through the amphitheater into separate classrooms in Crossman Hall. Here I sat idling, waiting for my colorless substances to briskly dissolve so I…

young domestic slave living on a plantation in Tennessee. I could cook, spin thread, sew, and so many other things very well. I was content with my life and my work.

The trip to her parents’ house had been his idea – between worrying about Remus’ condition and mulling over the unresolved situation with Ron, who had chosen to stay at the Burrow for a few days, sleep never came and the tossing in bed grew into an overwhelming need to vent her distress. That’s when the pacing started. But the…

what he loved: his religion and wife. When Hale came to the Proctor house to question them about not attending church, John and Elizabeth felt like they were being incriminated of something. “It may be I have been too quick to bring the man to book, but you cannot think we ever desired the destruction of religion” (2. 530-532). This religion is not the only thing he defended, however. Soon after, Cheever arrived at the Proctor house with a warrant to take away Elizabeth. “This warrant’s…

Since the dawn of time, every major civilization has had religion or a certain set of beliefs shape how that collective grows, thrives, lives, or dies. In its infancy years, the New World colonies were certainly not an exception. Religion can either be a center of unity or an area of disagreement between enemies. For the European populace, religion was just that; a disagreement on what to believe that spurred groups to migrate to the new world to avoid persecution and to worship in peace. What…

In the dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the future is bleak. The modern world is ruled by entertainment and simplicity; the novel shows a world that might be ours one day. In this dystopian future made by Bradbury, books are banned. Books have long been banned as a consequence of the ever-changing technology, which shortened and condensed knowledge. People in this world started to burn books because perhaps they held something that they didn’t like, and so the book burning culture…

The title of my book is Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in the Twilight series. Breaking Dawn is a work of pure fiction, written by Stephenie Meyer.
