The movie Agora depicts the escalating conflict between Christians and pagans in Roman Alexandria in the late fourth century under the emperor Theodosius I.

Agora’s portrayal of the Christian faction known as the parabalani and their…

Everyone have some sort of struggles in life. I think most of the time that we see people every day with their game faces on. Life demands us to grow and become stronger human beings.

After we went to a few of Disney’s parks we, went to eat in Golden Coral buffet when the beautiful day come to be a day with a bad experience. I was fourteen years old when I wanted to go to Disney, but for doing that I had to put in my effort, and I had to work in summer for one month.

I was suffering from a significant mental illness and I was expected to die in my 25th year of my life. I couldn’t keep up with any schoolwork and I was always last in the list. Because of misery and my conniving bullies, I had no friends and I was the odd one out. I shrewd like any other kid in my previous years, but my misery just kept growing stronger every heartbeat. The depressing memories reoccurred like a faulty record player. I causally walked up to my locker, my depression following…

position in Apple. This paper will be talking about how Apple started, his personal life, and his overall impact on technology today. It all started when a friend of Steve Wozniak, Bill Fernandez, introduced him to Jobs (Isaacson, 2011, p. 25). “Steve and I just sat on the sidewalk in front of Bill’s house for the longest time, just sharing stories- mostly about pranks we had pulled and…

Hot tears streamed down my cheeks as I cried myself to sleep at three o’clock in the afternoon. I was in the capital of Texas going to one of the best universities in the country for free, but something wasn’t right.

Fast forward 6 months and I was living in Victoria, going to Victoria College, and having the time of my life. So, what happened? How did I go from a lonely and miserable…

The Birthday Party 2015 Splash! That was the sound my friends and I made when we hit the water at the Ramada hotel for my friends birthday party. When I first got to the hotel my dad dropped me off. Then I waited in the lobby with Ella, Aly, and Morgan waiting for Emma. Shortly after Emma arrived we went up to the room. After that we hung out for about half an hour just talking. Then we went to the pool downstairs and swam for a while, we played games like tag, marco polo, racing across the…

Sun’s Out Gun’s Out I feel my skin cooking under the burning sun; salt in the breeze further tangling my hair only adding to my frustration. The volunteers line up to try their hand at removing my back seat from two moms, a marine, and a Budweiser fireman. Right around the time crowbars start to be introduced into the conversation I start asking myself “Why? Why did I put the keys in the trunk”? Spring break my senior year i was ready to take my first solo road trip. I had had this whole trip…

A few summers back, my family and I took a trip out to Flagler Beach, Florida, not too far from Daytona. A few days into the vacation, the girls had gone out for a shopping trip, so, because there was a slight drizzle, my Dad and I decided to just chill out and watch some TV until the weather decided to calm down. This was a vacation that will never be forgotten. My ears perk up as I notice the quieting of the rain against the window. I get up and walk over, pushing the roughly sewn curtain to…
