communications 101 course is becoming more confident in speaking in front of a small crowd, learning how to write speeches, and learning how to research and prepare for speeches. Everyone 's fear is public speaking. I avoided taking this class for the longest time just because I did not want to have to take a class where its entirety was just about speaking in front of people and doing a handful of speeches being my primary grade. I needed to take this class for when I transfer over to Arizona…

1. Sonnet 18 Perhaps one of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets, Sonnet 18 presents an idea of permanence, or rather, stability. The speaker begins by asking whether he should or will compare "thee" to a summer day. The speaker says that this “thee” is more lovely and more even-tempered, by listing the cons of summer: winds shake the buds that emerged in Spring, summer ends too quickly, and the sun can get too hot or be obscured by clouds. The speaker goes on to say that everything beautiful…

Life during World War II was a time unlike any other. American author, John Steinbeck, gave up a life of fame and riches to follow troops around the Eastern hemisphere and document their journeys. Though there are many sources a person could go to for information about the war, Steinbeck’s account goes into great detail about what life was actually like for an American solider during the war. On his journeys, Steinbeck recorded many aspects of the war that would otherwise go unnoticed.…

it all started: my hatred for them ungrateful gooks. Galveston Bay, Texas was a small shrimping town located 25 miles away from Houston. Here, we never see any gooks. Then suddenly in my freshmen year of high school, I saw fifteen of them in my English class. They all sound the same. They all smell the same. They all look the same. Every…

Here, Luke changes the word found in Matthew, debts, for a new word, sins, “probably to make the petition more intelligible for Gentile Christian readers”, as the word for debts does not fully contain a religious sense to the readers of that period (Fitzmyer 906). Nolland draws a parallel between the fact that just as we have a daily need for food, “we also have a daily need for the forgiveness of God” (620). This petition is the longest, as it continues into a second line where…

The Trail echoes this as each footstep knocks, proclaiming ownership of my fate. The way is mine as my beliefs pave the lengths before me. They are not smooth, yet mine.” These are the words in which one could find themselves repeating as they conquer a long rigorous thru-hike over the Sierra Nevada or a pilgrimage across Vermont. Often, we find ourselves in transition. This…

We would usually webcam to have that feeling of being there as if it was real. With Skype, we got to connect with each other no matter what state they were in. There was this one time where I was in AP physics and a physics final project was approaching soon. I needed to come up with an idea to make a cardboard boat…

Many readers regard William Shakespeare’s Hamlet as his greatest work, if not the world’s greatest play written in the English language. However, some famous critics such as T.S. Eliot see Hamlet in a different light — they see Hamlet as nothing more than an “artistic failure” full of inconsistencies. For example, why exactly is Hamlet not crowned king when he is already of age? Is it because he is away at Wittenberg? Despite this fault, these myriads of analyses only highlight the fact that…
