Light Years

The day could have possibly never ended since it had began the night before at approximately 11:00 p.m when my friends and I plotted the brilliant idea of embarking on our journey of hiking the Haiku Stairs or also known as Stairway to Heaven in Kaneohe Town.The expedition that the three of us embarked on could be appropriately expressed as the true testament of not allowing a genius plan being squandered by a few obstacles. The adventurous journey that was about to begin was the least of…

loud sometimes. "It's okay. Don't be nervous around others you don't know either. Be confident!" Her grandma assumes her social anxiety can be easily cured by being "confident". I mean, she guess that can work. It hasn't worked for the last 13 1/2 years, but maybe today will be her lucky day. "I will." Leslie went over to her fridge and pulled out a pudding cup. She got a spoon from the sink and ate quickly. She threw the cup in the trash and the cup in the sink before dashing out the door…

The scene I will be analyzing is from the 1955 film The Night of the Hunter. The film’s plot is of two young children who are left with a large sum of money from their father who robbed a bank. Their widowed mother, desperate for love, marries Harry Powell (a.k.a. the preacher) who believes he delivers “God’s work” while also killing women on the side.

Description: Starting at the left of the photograph by Margaret Bourke-White, there is a small section of space with just the sky and the a little bit of the horizon at the very bottom. The horizon is so low on the picture that the sand on the beach isn’t shown. Further in from the left of the picture, are two men who are standing in the waves pulling a parachute. The man on the left is wearing a dark top hat and dark clothes. He is facing towards the right, but facing towards the horizon,…

Wild in The West The sound of the wind blowing through the car window was a calming white sound that put me fast to sleep. I awoke faster than I could open my eyes, to a scream, a crash, and a feeling of falling through the air. As my eyes opened I saw only white then an ever approaching darkness it's as if someone had taken a slo-mo video and was projecting it into my eyes. I could only watch as the earth was approaching closer and closer to me. Knowing what came next I flexed every…

was only 2 o’clock in the morning. Palms sweating with blood and a delicate heart that is fighting with itself to continue beating. Everything was a disaster. A faint Siren rang through the hushed neighborhood occupied by 30 small houses and street lights that lit up the dim streets and sidewalks. The smell of death filled Myrtle Avenue and arose from the weightless body. Death was as loud as the laced weed the drug dealers sold outside of the corner store on 28th street. “Shit” Officer James…

“Night Talkers” by Danticat describes the life of a man named Dany who travels to Haiti in hope of letting his aunt know about the death of his parents.

Danticat incorporation of the character Claude is significant in order to explain that two men are similar to each other, but in reality they are different. Most importantly, these two men…

you do not jump onto another person who is already swimming in the water, and to wait your turn to jump. Do not camp overnight in the area. Do not feed the animals. In case of emergency make sure you have a med-kit on your or medical supplies. Each year at Blue Hole we are aware of injuries that have taken place. From someone being attacked by the wildlife late at night mistaken for food, to slipping off the rocks above and plummeting to their death. However, with knowing the risks, adrenaline…

Long ago and once upon a time, there lived a princess. Her name was Oriana, and her entire court loved her. She always helped those in need and had a smile for everyone. Oriana wasn’t vain, although she had every reason to be. She had wavy, raven hair that fell past her knees; pure, olive skin; and a face that was perfectly oval. Her real beauty, however, lay in her eyes. Whenever Oriana felt an emotion strongly, they changed from their usual ebony to true gold. It seemed that nothing could…
