Knocked Out

Bradbury’s Short Story Opinion The original short story “All Summer in a Day” was engaging. I felt part of the story because Ray Bradbury put me at that perspective. He also changed my mind about science fiction which I haven’t normally enjoyed. I felt as if I was trapped on the endlessly wet plant of Venus for years, until the sun rose again. The movie adaptation didn’t allow me the same vision of being on the planet. My favorite parts of the story were Margot, the students, and the ending…

college to figure it out what do you want to with your life without wasting your time and money. As being an au pair means you can study and work at the same time. So it doesn’t seem like your wasting anything. But apart from that, how does an au pair deal with the new environment, the new people in his or her live and of course the new job. It all starts with the excitement of having the opportunity to experience this new culture. Everything starts from the moment they step out of the airport.…

Your Honor, I am writing this letter in regards to boyfriend, David Matraj, for his trial/sentencing date set to April 10th, 2017. The reason why I am writing to you is to express my concerns regarding the events that took place that evening and the reasons why I feel that David does not pose a threat to myself or to my daughter, Autumn. I have been dating David for almost two years (June 20th), and just like any normal couple we have experienced a few bumps in the road. I am stubborn about…

Compared to Augustines own “memoir,” and his blatant skepticism of God, Karr’s story is tame. People have gone and come out of far worse situations and shrug it off. As for Karr, I felt like she was just growing up. Not to say her alcoholism wasn’t an issue, but she dealt with it through utter honesty that I find absolutely…well sobering. As honest as the story seems, “[a]nyway…

himself. By not having the sacrifice before him when he made the vow Jephthah can be viewed as being dishonest because no one has seen the one that will be sacrificed and no one knows if he is going to go through with it once he does meet whatever comes out of his doorway. The vow can be seen as a bribe to strengthen the covenant between the Lord and Jephthah, since there has to be a lot of trust between the two of them in order for the covenant to be cut. Bal also discusses how the daughter’s…

Most people might say that a scout is rowdy and out of order; there is no doubt they are absolutely right. To spend an entire week with eight of them, that's something. We all met in a parking lot excited, with our bags that contained pretty much anything you would never give to a group of 12 year-old boys. We’d go over what we packed: pocket knife, candy, mallet, slingshot, etc. We load up the cars and split up into two groups one in each car. Along the way we played stupid games such as…

see the them getting closer and closer to the falls. Now I’m starting to regret saying I would go on the boats because of the thundering water hitting the rocks and the big waves. “They get so close to the falls”, I mumble to myself. I start freaking out even more, it’s time for us to start heading down the elevator and get ready to go…

On the first day, he was too busy going in and out of consciousness, sleeping off his injuries and fatigue, to note that it was always Caitlin, Iris, Joe and sometimes even Jay staying by his side. Everyone, except Cisco, was there, making sure there always was someone by his side to take care of all…

asked myself. I bid goodbye to the woman in the orphanage when I heard that information and there outside the orphanage was Jerry sitting on a bench shoulders hunched down and head hung low. I see his hair again, the color of a corn shock standing out on the orange sun set hovering just above him. The next day, I found myself still in the empty, wooden cabin warmth brang from the logs Jerry had cut. I decided to cancel all my plans and maybe relax. I don't know what came to me, for…

Novia was feeling sick to her stomach with such boiling rage and self pity, she was different from everyone else at school and she didn’t need reminded about it. It was a problem she faced every day but back at her old home there was people who accepted it, but now she has to go through the whole process again! Mr and Mrs Stevenson decided to move to Ohio from New York with their three kids Novia, Braxton and their newborn Piper. Novia thought living in New York was hard already especially…
