Just Say No

In My Last Duchess you listen to the speaker of the story talking to someone, you don’t know who he is talking to either. As you read on you are baffled by what he is saying. You can’t really grasp whether this girl is around or not around. He then says, “This grew; I gave commands; then all smiles stopped together.” (Lines 45-46) This statement blows you away when you read it. You realize he, either directly or indirectly, got rid of her so to speak. The same thing happens in Porphyria’s Lover.…

Peter, just as many of the people in the world today, struggled with doubting his own faith. A prime example of this is the story of The Walking on the Water from the gospel of Matthew. In this passage Jesus sends the disciples out across the sea while He goes to pray up on the mountain. As the disciples sailed off, the boat got caught in a storm. In the middle of the night Jesus began to approach the disciples, and at first they did not believe that it was really Him. They said fearfully that…

We’ve been standing in line for Blue Typhoon for twenty minutes when dad can’t contain himself anymore. “They’ll never let her on!” he says, pointing to woman two spots in front of us. Auntie, dad, Trent and I are standing in line for Blue Typhoon while mom and Brook drink iced tea and rest. Dad puffs out his cheeks to indicate: fat! Auntie says, “Sush!” but dad says, “Did you hear about that woman who flew off a roller coaster last month? Apparently she was so, so large that the harness…

Conversation” by Sherry Turkle, Turkle says that “all forms of technology interfere with face to face communication”. Although great technological advances have been made, it is impeding us from having face to face communication since it now allows people to be in their own technological bubble. . In “Rule of Thumb: Love in the Age of Texting” by Natalie…

AAARRRRR! My stomach growled so loud it sounded like a gorilla. I had just gotten back from mathematics, and I won the championship. For some reason I felt weird inside almost like I was scared. A random face comes up to me and asks ‘’did you win your math thing James’’. I said ‘’yeah in unusual way. For a second I thought he joking or something. As I walked to the cafeteria I feel very weird inside almost like I have butterflies in my stomach. Out of no were I see a kid fly like super man…

While infatuation is fake love, that is obsessed over, unreasoned, rushed, and often physical. Because of these definitions you realize Romeo and Juliet were not really in love but infatuated with each other Romeo doesn’t love Juliet because he just wants to be in love with a beautiful woman. Before Romeo met Juliet he claimed he loved Rosaline, but she didn’t like him back, yet he was convinced his love was deep. When talking to Benvolio he said, “A right good mark-man! and she’s fair I love…

make a rally and protest for an event that happened. Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi were to shoot a guard in a muslim rally. Jon says people can bring flags for the rally and apply their second amendment to be safe. And they cannot build mosques in America. I personally think that it was just a rally. We just have to let them do it because nothing's going to happen. They just have to let them do it because it is the right of the first amendment. And he's planning to do the Cartoon thing, but…

Harris. Harris says that wearing makeup and saying “I’m fine,” when you’re not is lying. If you have ever said the words “I’m fine” and not meant it, you wear makeup or try to spare someone’s feeling, then you have lied. Everyone says that they are fine almost everyday and I am guilty of saying it too. We don’t want people to know that our life is going roughly when their life is going smoothly. We think that they won’t care and that they just want you to ask them how they are doing just to…

“mercy killing”, is a direct contradiction to what the medical profession stands for, but they said that the end of extraordinary means to keep someone alive is permitted. Rachel says that the statements leads to a distinction between intentionally killing and letting die. While this distinction is a big one, Rachel says thats its an morally unimportant one. The distinction between killing or active euthanasia and letting die or passive euthanasia lies in the intentions. Active euthanasia is…
