Perfection and Reality It is difficult to imagine a perfect world. So many parts of life can only be perfect for a moment. In a poem by John Keats, Ode on a Grecian Urn, a perfect situation is frozen in time. Throughout life at the Naval Academy there are certain moments that seem as though they would be perfect. Climbing the Herndon monument starts as a dream for plebes. The Herndon monument is a granite obelisk that is located in the middle of the Naval Academy campus. At the end of each…

In arguing against the theory of animalism, which claims that personal ontology is grounded in only the physical body, one avenue of objection is to provide counterexamples which show how there might be a body but no person, or multiple persons coexisting within one body. In his book, Persons, Animals, Ourselves, Paul Snowdon targets the animalism counterexample of multiple personality disorder.

Mr. Wilbur personifies his daughter’s journey of writing, making mistakes, figuring out what works and what doesn’t to a boat ride and then to a bird.

rats, or even the harmful insects they keep at bay. Then the prey would multiply and eat until its food source ran dry, our crops and property being the food source.

I’m bathed in neon, green spilling through the leaves above my head. The color comes not from lights or signs but from sunlight pouring its hot rays down upon the Canadian forest. I’m sweating, beads of liquid streaking down my dirty face. Every other second I hear the buzz of incoming mosquitos like tiny fighter jets preparing for an airstrike, thrumming. The trail beneath my damp sneakers is compact despite the previous days’ rains. My watch beeps, and I fish it out of my breast pocket…

Imagine being told not to hang out with certain people or being ridiculed. Imagine being criticized, looked down upon, or even hit. This is the life of nearly 1.5 million students in high school.

In the sixth paragraph she comments, “But let the men of Hartford imagine that they were not in the position of being voters at all, that they were governed without their consent being obtained, that the legislature turned an absolutely deaf ear to their demands, what would the men of Hartford do then . . . they would either…

older kids may too. The best choice to give someone that has never heard of this story is the written original short story.
