The story of Medea, written by the Greek poet Euripides, is about a woman who goes on a vengeful killing spree, after being scorned by her husband, Jason. Having already killed prior to that her scorn fed her murderous impulses. Her worldview indicates that she prays to the gods/goddess to go unpunished for her sins. She seeks out revenge for those who have caused her pain. As a result, Medea believes that revenge is justified. Medea seeks revenge to justify how her husband Jason has mocked her. To validate her revenge she seeks help through her partner goddess Hecate, patron of witchcraft. She appears to be a helpless woman, in order to gain her assistance in evil craftiness to avenge her honor and answer her prayers. Her worldview of the gods/goddesses indicates that they overlook the vengeance and will be willing to help her. However Medea speaks to herself as if it is the words of Hecate when she says: “Go forward to the dreadful act. The test has come / For resolution. You see how you are treated. Never / Shall you be mocked by Jason’s Corinthian wedding, / Whose father was noble, whose grandfather Helios” (Euripides, 2006, p.699). Medea is convinced that the gods/goddesses are willing to assist her in her evil plotting and scheming, by advising her to go forward with them. She believes she is gifted (reputation as a sorceress) by Hecate to plot evil, which will help her obtain her revenge. Therefore with Medea’s assistance from the god/goddesses she believes that…

My mom earned enough to buy a townhouse near a decent middle school. I no longer visited Jim, I simply refused to get in his car, no matter how many times he called the police.

Everyone’s got a mom, right? Whether you’re adopted, or have two parents of the same gender, or in whatever situation, everyone has a mom. But does everyone have a mother? I think there’s a difference. Your mom is the woman who helped create you – biologically of course. But your mother is the person who helped shape you into being. She taught you right from wrong, showed you the kind of parent you’d want to be (or maybe the kind you didn’t want to be), and helped you when you were upset. I’m…

He would visit us once in a while, but…

Myriad high maintenance pets preened, collared, and contained within massive structures all on wide, open land. An operation with a budget of about $160 million a year. This place used to be a zoo. Decades ago. More than half a century ago before this place was even thought of, before I was even thought of, or you. My parents used to amble around it, gawking at exotic snakes and monkeys of all sorts. You know what their favorite animal was, out of all that were preserved here all those years…

ginormous as mine when I got a bike for Christmas when I was little. We started kicking rocks and whistling. Children from the houses surrounding me started peeking out from behind their doors and their parents’ legs wondering who that white girl was. Slowly, they all came out and started kicking around a water bottle, the Haitian soccer ball. I jumped into the game and the children’s laughter was all I could hear. The girl that was holding my hand a few minutes earlier started calling out,…
