Little Jack Horner

Do you ever get the feeling that God has a sense of humour? Most of the time, I find it in life’s irony. The little things popping you are hopelessly trying to avoid, and seemingly insignificant people doing extraordinary, earth-shattering things. Initially I’ll be frustrated and angry with God (imagine inner tantrums and kicking and screaming), but after some time, especially when it is reoccurring, I finally get the point; the point that I have absolutely no control over this life, and that…

carry these things during the summer also, but I include a hair tie for when the heat is unbearable. These things help me throughout the day to make life just a little bit easier. My makeup bag may sound large and heavy, but it’s actually pretty small. I do include powder and lipstick for touchups throughout the day. I try to carry as little as possible though so the weight is not heavy. Physically, carrying heavy things is not…

I (Maincharacter) start to feel filthy, i haven 't showered in days and my hair is scratchy. I smell horrible. I walk up to the kidnappers. "Is there any place I could take a shower?" I ask without sounding polite. "Not unless you wanna take a swim." He says as he starts laughing. The rest of them join in. I walk away as I flip them the bird. the younger male kidnapper walks up to me once we 're out of everyone 's sight. He tells me where the shower is. So I guess thoughs jackasses really do…

How the Little Mermaid is Crucial to the Symbolization of What Many Endure for the Acceptance of Society in Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid” A multitude are not familiar with the written story of “The Little Mermaid” but plenty of people would recognize the film version created by Disney film studios. While there are some differences in plot, the personalities of the young girls from the two versions come out as practically identical. These adventurous young women crave the need to…

forget about the stress from school. It was a 30 degree day in Council Grove, Kansas, so everyone was bundled up in coats and complaining about the cold. I run out of the school hop in my truck and floor it home. On my way home I decide to take a little drive out on a dirt road and just cruise for a bit. As I start down this road a thought comes into my head “do you really want to be an accountant for the rest of your life.” I did not know what to think all the way through high school I had…

it now? (Maybe you watch it as a guilty pleasure, in secret.) I did not really care to watch T.V. as much as a child. The only way I would watch it would be if my mother would turn it on for me; I preferred Disney movies. My favorite one was The Little Mermaid. I love the ocean, ocean creatures, the songs, it is the most iconic movie of all time. And yes I still watch it now. I can practically tell you frame by frame what happens in the first and second…

It was the morning of August 6th, 1945, when a specially designed B-29 bomber aircraft, given the name Enola Gay, would embark on an unforgettable mission that was ordered by U.S President Harry Truman. It took flight at 2:45 a.m., departing from the Tinian air force base sailing its way to Hiroshima, Japan. This massive plane had a full wingspan of 43 meters and a top speed of 365 mph. However, it was neither its size nor speed that made it a deadly war machine; it was the single piece of cargo…

of finding happiness in ordinary things. Life doesn’t force us to be perfect it only asks us to do our best.” -Unknown This has been a quote I have learned to follow throughout the course of my junior year. If we allow ourselves to be happy about little achievements and know that we did our best regardless of the outcome, then we can help ourselves be more successful in the future. A good example of some of the small accomplishments i 've made my junior year were in my English 11 class.…

poor, emotionally unstable parents who were permissive and suffered substance abuse problems, but I achieved a lot in my short nineteen years. Yes, my parents allowed me do whatever I had in mind; Rules weren’t a real thing and I was expected of very little in the household and in school. Most children then would think my parents were the ‘cool parents’, since I had no rules and punishment for my actions was nonexistent. Believe it or not, I actually often found myself being/feeling alone a lot…

Unlike number ten from All Diva Media’s ‘Top 10 Feminist Stereotypes’, I am not a man hater – in fact, I was the only girl allowed to play with the boys as I was related to their ‘leader’. When I was little, my cousin, who was a grade older than me, was sort of like the leader of the few boys we had our split class. I never realized that I was being treated differently from all the other girls in my class. My classmates seemed to simply accepted the fact that I was the only girl allowed to play…
