Looking Backward

competing against the other to see who would get to their mistress first. Once or twice, Kelpie would turn to Avalon and try to rake her green skin with his long claws, only to be whipped in the face by the latter’s tentacles. Smiling, Araxie swam backwards, coaxing her pets further towards the safety of the cave she called home. She loved how they would obey her and stick by her side. They were more than just protection; they were company. Unfortunately, her father didn’t seem to agree,…

stranger, was at a loss of words. A deer caught in headlights. She shuffled backwards a little and let out a tiny mumble. She was astounded and uneasy, and for whatever reasons I would wholeheartedly understand. We are unfamiliar with the concept of “being hit on”. While he was still in the middle of the man’s determined conquest, I recollected myself and interrupted him with a quick “Sorry, she’s with me.” The man paused, looking wide-eyed. Advancing the moment, my friend and I then walked off…

Faith can be defined as believing in something without any proof. Is it logical that humans believe in accepting things without any evidence it exists? That appears to be a vital attribute to religion because there’s no stone cold proof in crediting its existence. So why is it that people believe in God? Most would say it’s evident it benefits them in their afterlife and their building of moral character. However, is it really true that being religious makes somebody a moral person, or is it…

the film. The music and the image throughout the film mostly went hand in hand and parallel to the narrative and the plot of the film. We can even notice the movements of the camera to be quite methodical, that is, either left, right, forward or backward and linear. The editing in the film is mostly slow and continuous. The Mise-En-Scene is very detailed. Anderson uses color to convey important information about the narrative. The color palette is limited but…

Kat was fabulous. Kat Kardashian was the tallest of all the Kardashians at 5"11. I was definitely not as fabulous as Kat, nor as tall. Although, nobody was. It was a cool fall day and leaves were scattered about the ground. Today, Kat was going shopping, or at least that’s what the tabloids said. I desperately wanted to meet Kat so I decided to go to a mall near her house. I grabbed my gray fluffy sweatshirt and slipped on a pair of black tennis shoes. Once I arrived at the mall, I noticed it…

As an African-American looking back on my history, we’ve tried peaceful revolutions and that was like taking one step forward and two steps backwards. Hearing what Killmonger said; the anger he expressed was the same as mine and others like me, but I’m a lover, not a fighter. Although I have those thoughts I wouldn’t support violence in…

Introduction The idea of the popular and continuously growing game of volleyball was thought of in 1895. The rules and skills started to evolve as the game grew more popular until it was an official Olympic sport in 1924. It started off with passing the ball back and forth until the three hit rule was developed. The game always started with a serve and as time went on, the serve became more and more complex. Different varieties and techniques of the serve started to emerge as the game grew.…

What is it about the current American system that is stagnating progress? It seems as if we have been politically stagnated for years. While Asia skyrockets in progress and technology, we seem to be moving backward. Our governmental process seems to be more about scandal then producing great policies that will move us forward in the world. As we view our once mighty industry, all we see is the rust belt and jobs that have moved off shore. Our cities seem to be stagnated by urban decay. Is this…
