Lu Xun

Wednesday night, June 9, 1999, I was at church during praise and worship when the voice of God spoke to me: “You are about to set sail on an exciting adventure. My hand is heavy upon your daughter. I love her more than you do. I heard your prayer and Miranda will not be overweight. You are going to the other side. Miranda will live to be very old. I will carry you for the next six weeks. You will run and not be weary. You will walk and not faint.” I fell to my knees. My heart trembled…

Ashten Lolley The Miracle Birth Payton Holmes, a young, beautiful woman at the age of twenty-one was a kindergarten teacher at the River Town elementary school. A stunning man by the name of Haden Clark was twenty-three years old and was a post office worker in that town. Payton and Haden had attended the same church since they were little children. It was now that Haden was older that he realized the admiration and love he had for Payton. One day as Mrs. Holmes was teaching her…

While at work the past two weeks I observed a recurring conflict. Two weeks ago a patient presented to the Medical Surgical nurses states with a Demographic face sheet and told me he was there for fluids. I kindly asked the man if he knew where he was suppose to go and he told me “last week when I was back in outpatient infusion area, they told me I would be out here today”. I said it would be one moment because I needed to make sure this is where he was supposed to be and if he was supposed…

Some people say that they golf to relax. I however cannot understand that statement. Personally I would rather just throw my first three balls directly into the river and drop my fourth two hundred feet from the green. And I’d rather build castles in the sand trap rather than try to pitch a ball out of it. But somehow in the seventh grade I found myself on the junior high golf team. Although I didn’t know it when I wrote my name on the sign-up sheet, golf would teach me the most important lesson…

"Ring!" sounded the final bell on a Friday afternoon at school. Students sprinted out of class to get to their cars trying to beat the rush of traffic; I was one of them. I stopped by my locker to grab all of my books and then hurried out to my shiny gold Toyota Camry. I quickly put my key into the ignition and backed out of my parking spot. I stepped on the gas pedal to beat all of the idiot drivers that don 't know how to wait their turn. Once at the stoplight, I took a sharp right turn…

There is nothing better than seeing a smile transform a frown. Our shift is coming to an end, and we sit on the counters of a cramped room in the basement of a hospital. We laugh and joke around, creating in one night, enough inside jokes to last a lifetime. Our best florists open the flower-filled storage and begin the task of forming two modest vases. These vases are not for us, nor are they for sale. Once finished, they will be brought upstairs and presented to a patient. The expertly…

Not Broken, Just Bent I stood in front of a mirror; not an unusual action for a young girl. I waited on my grandmother, waited for what now escapes me, and decided to take advantage of her full length mirror––I did not have one of those at home. I remember this particular mirror, as it had collected many years of experience and had, no doubt, seen many reflections and curious onlookers. It leaned up against the wall in her dining room, waiting for the next observer that happened to chance by.…

Third Time's A Charm “The moment when you want to quit, is the moment when you need to keep pushing”-Ins-power. When I was 16 years old, I wanted to take my learners test, but I failed 2 times. After that, I studied everyday and night non stop for over 2 weeks, and I ended up getting a perfect score when I went to take it a third time. Now, I’m close to being able to get my license and having freedom to go wherever I please. It was 9 o’clock in the morning, and I had just woken up. I…

movement which illustrated the social context of China in the 1930s. Li Hua also is Lu xun’s friend, and he said Lu Xun is the father of a revolutionary woodcut movement. One of his woodcut Lu Xun und Kakichi Uchiyama in August depicted Lu xun’s role in the woodcut movement. (figure 4) This is one of the early work of the Li Hua which capture a moment of Luxun in the new woodcut movement.
