tall buildings, and sleep with the lights off after a scary movie. Yet, there was one thing that at the ripe young age of thirteen absolutely terrified me, and that was airplanes. As a child I heard many horror stories of catastrophic plane hijackings and crashes. It scared me to think that so many things could go wrong. The weather could be bad, the plane could be damaged, or something awful might happen to the pilot. Thinking of these things would always make me come to the same conclusion, I…
years, could be walking to my front door any minute now. The thought frightened me and so many questions popped into my brain. What was he going to say? How would he respond to what I had to say to him? I loved Anh very much, but the idea of me and him reconnecting left me scared; petrified, even. I started trembling. It soon dawned on me that I had not properly prepared for any of this. I had not told Anh so many things like how I was diagnosed with a brain tumour, I had remarried a woman who…
In a world obsessed with knowledge we are ignorant about so many things, but is that actually a bad thing? I don’t think so. Think about death. Our death is the one thing that we are completely ignorant about. We have no idea when the moment will come when we cease to exist. Even people who have a terminal illness and have three months to live don’t even know the exact moment they will die. In our ignorance we can continue to live and embrace what we have. If we knew how we would die we would…
important part for you to know of who I am and what I valued the most in my life. I came about this when I was in my 20’s. I had just met your father, we became instant friends like peanut butter and jelly. It was your father who opened my eyes to see the world and who showed me that life isn’t just about the parties. Your father taught…
the motif of sight is that physical vision does not yield you from seeing the good or bad in a person. Paul may be classified as visually impaired but he can see much more than someone like Erik who is not followed around with an IEP. Paul can see many things such as the koi being taken right under Mr. Costello’s nose. Of course, nobody believes him because he’s “blind” and “can’t see anything”. Paul just quietly thinks to himself “There goes another one of you koi , Mr. Costello.” (page 64).…
What can you bring to the Mineage Network?: My name is Epicaxe_Nick and I can bring many things to the mineage community. I've been playing minecraft for over 3 years and have played mineage for around 1 1/2 years ago. What I can bring to the mineage community is way more than just a helper.

I personally really enjoy helping…
Your Ropes There are many things in our lives that we do or are forced to do that causes us to be held back from our full potentials or something that we desire to fulfill. Matilda endures this struggle, which can be shown by her exclaiming, "From the prison's courtyard it rose, a yellow silk bubble escaping the earth. I vow to do that one day, slip free of the ropes that held me." She gives off a strong message of feeling trapped and not able to make her own choices while looking at Blanchard's…
it was almost too fascinating to seem real? Well, for me that place is Hawaii. As a kid, my parents brought my siblings and I to Hawaii for a vacation, and to this day it remains the most pleasurable place I have ever visited. Although there are so many things that have stuck in my mind about Hawaii, the most exciting and alluring features about the Aloha State are the culture, the scenery, and the atmosphere. If I had it my way, I would have stayed in Hawaii forever. The culture in Hawaii…
with salt and butter, others may think of creamed corn or even a delicious warm piece of corn bread, but for two best friends from Iowa, corn is there life. In America, we often put more in our mouths than should be humanly possible. According to many of the facts presented in the movie King Corn, apparently most of that is corn. The movie was released in 2007 about two college buddies who rented an acre of land in Greene, Iowa. Greene is an old farming community in which both of the boys had…
