Howl

Helen Keller (the first deaf/blind person to ever receive a bachelor's degree in art) once said, “I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.” Darrell Schweitzer’s “Howling in the Dark” takes place in the state of Pennsylvania during winter. Joseph, a young boy, loves the darkness and the way it surrounds him. He meets the Stoneman who shows Joseph how to become the darkness or nothing. One lesson that the story suggests is that no matter how hard you work for…

my feet is almost deafening. Crack Branches snapping as I run. The wind howled furiously against my pale,cold skin . Feeling like knives scratching my face slowly and painfully. My legs ached as I forced myself to run faster. I hear Growls and howls from A few miles away. Wolves are chasing me. Well 5 wolves I almost out ran most of them. Well it make sense. I did kill there alpha.....and Luna. I grinned as I replayed the Luna's high pitched scream as I pierced a knife slowly and deeply…

lady. ANNA: Why would he ring the doorbell? JOANIE: Why would he kill so many people? ANNA: No. He wouldn’t ring the doorbell. *door bell rings again* No. I have a good feeling. It’s someone here to help. I know it --- it’s help. Who is it…? *wolf howls* It’s not help. It’s not help… *wolfman knocks on door* ANNA: Freeze! And get ready for two seventeen year old girls to hurt you like you’ve never been hurt! GUY FROM DOOR: Hmm… Sounds like my kind of party! ANNA: Hey --- what the..? ANNA: Who…

Surely there must be some silver back wolves roaming about, playing games with their prey. Or maybe a grizzly bear or two. Or maybe I can turn the wolves and the bears on each other, the ensuing clash of howls and roars would draw a fraction of the fools away, why not? Not more than a second after coming up with such a plan do I see a lone individual stray from the encampment, away from the comfort, away from the safety, away, from the sight of her companions…

reminds me of one of the deaths that took place in the pulsing heart of this very castle. I take a deep breath and stop in front of a mysterious, eerie, sealed door. The only way to escape these noises all around is to go inside. The wind begins to howl and lashes onto the old frosted concrete steps. I bash on the metal door, with my frozen weary hands. The door swings open with my persistent knocking, but is followed by utter silence. I slowly step through the doorway with fear in my eyes, and…

The Dresden Fire Bombing was a controversial decision made by the Allied Powers during World War II. Even today, the decision to firebomb, Dresden, a city filled with refugees and civilians, is considered by many unjustifiable. The Dresden Fire Bombing took place from the 13 to the 15 of February 1945. The American Air Force and the British Royal Air Force dropped over 3,900 tons of explosives, including the incendiary devices also known as the firebomb. The explosives were dropped over the…

Los Angeles Zoo Primates Our day at the zoo simply started with the objective of completing our visit, by seeing at least one each of the primates of each category around the zoo. That was quickly discarded considering that amount of information that the zoo provided for us about each individual creature. Because of the way that the zoo was structured we were unable to simply follow a particular order in which the animals were categorized. We visited all the different primates (as much as we…

own skin, he did not have the confidence to acknowledge his mistakes. “Parris: I pray you, leap not to witchcraft. I know that you, you least of all, Thomas, would ever wish so disastrous a charge laid upon me. We cannot leap to witchcraft. They will howl me out of Salem for such a corruption in my house.”(Act 1) Parris refused to accept witchcraft as a possibility for what it would do to him. He refused even though accepting the possibility could save his daughter sooner. Parris was too…

Feral children, also known as wild children, are children who have grown up with little to no human contact. They are unaware of social human behaviour and language. This leads the children having delays in the development of their neural and psychological systems which support socio-emotional functioning. There are also ethical issues that arise when attempting to re-socialise a feral child. It is important for these children to be reintroduced into human life slowly and given sufficient care…

In humanity, we are rarely willing to be portrayed as a terrible person. Many things can change your reputation heavily, such as making confessions. For instance, in the well known tragedy, The Crucible, by playwright Arthur Miller, is a story about unfair trials and false accusations. This story is mainly in light of the Salem witch trials, where false accusations lead to unjust trials. John Proctor, the main character, eventually decides not to confess, which brings about his hanging.…
