Maze

lure me off the scent, but this was to good to be false. I knew once again that there were only two people in that class that Jeremy really conversed with was Austin Schmidt and Jessica Van Dorn. If anyone would know what lies at the center of this maze it would Be them. I then realized who I needed to talk to, who can pull back this curtain. Unfortunately Jessica was less then revealing the only thing I know for sure now is that it was in fact to do with homecoming and a girl Jeremy is into. As…

ended for summer vacation when my aunt took me by the hand and said, “Your face should be the first thing your mother sees when she wakes up.” I was twelve, and old enough to understand, but not prepared for what happened next.

Her face and neck were bandaged, but the swelling was clearly visible. She could…

We lock eyes for a second, and I end up noticing that he’s reading something I recognize, The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan. I smirk at him, almost as if trying to send my approval without verbal communication, and he shyly smiles back my…

Heroism is defined by Merriam Webster’s Dictionary as: “Heroic conduct especially as exhibited in fulfilling a high purpose or attaining a noble end.” However, Joseph Campbell characterizes heroism through a journey. These steps include a departure from home, a crossing of the threshold, a final battle, and a return home with multiple tests throughout the journey that prove the heroic qualities of the person.

Wandering in Darkness, Searching for the Light Searching for the Good Life is like wandering through a maze with countless routes: both can provide a false sense of hope at every turn, both can be frustrating and both provide a great sense of fulfillment upon reaching the end. In the same way that there may be setbacks along the path out of the maze, there may also be difficulties in reaching the Good Life. Although we would like to attain the Good Life without difficulties or obstacles, Croesus…

no one was there. I felt a gust of wind go by me so my first instinct was to run. I ran and ran but all the openings were shut. I realized that I was trapped and I didn’t know if I was alone or not. I was scared like a little girl in a haunted corn maze. Then it happened... (Sadie)…
