“We’re moving to Florida”. We were sitting at the dining room table when they told us. t must have been a Saturday or we wouldn’t have been in the dining room and it must have been some time in winter, though I don’t remember the month. Of the twelve chairs positioned around the long table, seven were occupied: Two by my parents, four by my sisters and one by me. The table was the only piece of furniture in the room. The walls where white and bare except for streaks of lurid mahogany dye…

Short Story The Scion gazed from his secluded position, high above in a grove, watching as the puny humans went about their day in blissful ignorance of his presence. He liked it that way sometimes, just watching as time went on around him; it calmed him somewhat. To those, he looked like he was a part of the mountains and hills, blending in with the scenery. His earth green and dirt brown palette hid him to such a degree that travelers of all kinds who would walk about his scales were woefully…

“ I found Rome built of bricks; I leave her clothed in marble.” These enduring words are the last spoken by Augustus Caesar, the first emperor of Rome. Before he was deemed Princeps Civitatis, translated to mean first citizen of Rome, he was a leading member of the second triumvirate named Octavian. One of the triumvirate’s other members, Antony, caused a break in power when he aided his wife and Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra. When war was declared on her by Rome, a series of battles ensued and…

of the Greeks goddess is Artemis. Her parents Greek God Goddess of Zeus and Leto. They are the God Goddess of lightning and a titan goddess. She is from island of Delos but you can find her wandering through the forests and wilderness, dancing in groves or hunting in shadowy mountains. A general statement of what I’m trying to prove is that Artemis was an important figure for girl’s youth in ancient roam. Artemis is in all sense of the label, a “tomboy.” She looks like one, acts like one. She…

Elusive, obscure, and eclipsed in popularity by their larger cousins, small cats are amazing, high-performance predators. “She’s very close,” Germán Garrote whispers, pointing to a handheld receiver picking up Helena’s signal. Somewhere in this olive grove beside a busy highway in southern Spain, the Iberian lynx and her two cubs are probably watching us. If it weren’t for her radio collar, we’d never know that one of the world’s rarest cats is crouching among the neat rows of trees. At five…

After the Pearl Harbor Attack, Japan began a massive campaign throughout the Southeast Asia-Pacific region to seize territories (“Hiroshima”).

hallway but you can't because freshmen are wrestling with each other. Going from middle school to high school can be hard be doesn't give you an excuse to act dumb. When my friends and I went into high school we tried to stay kinda low until we felt the grove or knew what was going on. All you have is be calm and cool and not be messing around all of the time because it can get annoying but there is a time and a place when it's…

The Tuvan were a hunter-herder, nomadic society. They are a south Siberian Turkic group and are located near the border of the Soviet Union and Mongolia. In 1921, the Tuvans formed a revolutionary republic called Tannu Tuva with the support of the Soviet Union. They became an independent region within Russia in 1944. The Tuva largely consists of rural land and their herding tradition is still apparent (Alekseev, Kirgiz, & Levin 1990, 3). In Tuva and neighbouring areas, “stockbreeding and…

Slave labor was believed to be a thing of the past within the United States, a far distant travesty of the 18th century. Following Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, which liberated slaves across the United States, no more would individuals be taken advantage of and oppressed for the benefit of others, or so we thought. Private prisons, also known as for-profit prisons, have recently become quite successful at making monetary gain by taking advantage of their prison population. Private prison…
