In Our Time

In “Tintern Abbey” by William WordsWroth, He revisits a place called The River Wye with his sister after five years. Throughout his tour, he discovers that his experience this time differs from the one when he was young. Simply because he looks at nature from a new mature perspective; he views nature in a very deep way with an intense understanding. In this essay, I will interpret one of the stanzas in the poem which describes what Wordsworth was feeling during that particular moment of his tour…

The time is now. I am back stage pacing back and forth trying not to panic. I am wearing tan khakis, with a blue buttoned up shirt with a light gray cardigan around my neck, I was dressed as Warner from Legally Blonde. This adrenaline inside me is taking over, everyone is telling me that I am going to do well, but deep down I am trying not to vomit from being so nervous. Lights fade out. It is my time to shine. In the midst of this darkness, I walked over to the old fashioned metal high stools…

your house, you can order in, talk to friends, and go shopping without ever leaving your couch. Each time we have a spare moment we stop and retrieve our cell phones and computers and enter a virtual reality. Although this is not a bad thing, in a world where you do not have to go outside, we often forget to take the time to go outside and take advantage of what mother nature has to offer. From the time we are kids are parents would tell us that we needed to go outside, but why is this. When I…

Throughout the history of mankind, we have often wondered, "Is everything that happens in our lives predestined by some controlling force, or do we have free will?" Within the film Donnie Darko written and directed by Richard Kelly, this philosophical question is posed. This film takes place in Middlesex, Virginia on October 2, 1988. The main character Donnie, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, is a paranoid schizophrenic teenager who has the power to save the universe from collapsing with the help…

The odd element of place is that place exists beyond time. A place we find ourselves in possesses the ability to represent our past, our present, and our future in a seemingly effortless fashion. A place does not require a time machine or futuristic technology to transport us to another time, but can do so in the blink of an eye. The smallest, most unassuming details allow us to relive a moment, in a sense, through the sounds of a particular place. Place is a non-physical space rooted in memory…

Everyone is predominately busy with their life and neglects the time to watch the news. People lack the knowledge of what is truly going on in the big world politically, socially, and economically. As the young generation absorbs this negligence of politic and local news, they will not be edified with the correct information. It is in our hands to change this factor because the younger generation will be the answer to the rights of this country. As to edify them more amusing, and entertaining,…

But most of the times, we widely our digital devices for educational purposes, and therefore we have become over reliance and diminished our ability to think…

At one point or another in our lives, almost everyone will begin to question the purpose of our lives, on whether it has a meaning. Some of us manage to string together a meaning through accomplishments, but as we get older the thought of death begins to creep into our mind. The thought of dying one day makes us question whether our accomplishments will mean anything at all. The same troubled Lev Tolstoy, a Russian novelist. In his late middle age, Tolstoy began to question the meaning of his…

was a time before the gruesome Civil War, before several states seceded from the United States to form their own country. It was a time in which slavery still existed, and where electricity had not been applied to personal use and the use of steam-powered machines were used in all sorts of manners. However, there was absolutely no time for recreation. Let’s find out why. In the 1840s, most people did work all day and left no time for recreation, believing that recreation was a waste of time.…

So we went to the hill where they went sledding there was obviously nobody there it was pitch black outside except for the street lamps. I was so pumped to go sledding I haven’t been sledding in forever! But this was even cooler it was at night time. Like how fun is that? Next we got all the sleds out we had so many. Then me and Will were going to race each other to the bottom. So we got 2 really fast sleds out and we put them side by side we were ready to go. Then Melissa pushed me and…
