Mountain pass

The Pyrenees, a Pastoral Heaven Alert! Alert! Alert! It is time to consider booking reservations for this year’s summer family vacation. With each suggested venue, the family drama ensues. Furthermore, knowing that hoards of humans deeply ingest the popular sites, it’s time to seek a lesser known gem. Imagine going on a hike through some of the most beautiful vegetation and geology in all of Europe. Think of walking through a perfectly preserved little village among the hills of a mountain range that is akin to the amazing Swiss Alps. Inside of the little town, the dwellings are just as they were 400 years ago. Equally important, the villagers are wearing the clothing style of their ancestors. Above, on an emerald green slope, a Great Pyrenees…

journey began. Entering the on ramp, I was headed west on I-69 towards Davison. Shifting quickly to sixth gear, I could hear the high pitched whine of the turbo. Reaching a comfortable speed of 73 mph, I set my cruise. Traveling in the right lane, I glimpsed my mirror to see a beat up Toyota Civic approaching from the distance. Steadily gaining in the left lane, I assumed he was passing. Personally I boil with rage when a driver passes me or does something arrogant. For some reason, I didn’t…

was ending coming to a collapse, and there would be no feelings left but a empty hollow shell after someone passing. From, what I used to think and perceive of death and how I feel about death during the process but how I view everything now has completely changed. When, I was little around the age of ten I used to think that someone passing away was the most dreadful thing ever and in some ways it still is, but how I thought about things back then was different from how I think now, but also…

can easily be what influenced him to write a commentary on “racial passing,” such as The House Behind the Cedars. Racial passing, as defined by Randall Kennedy, an Ohio State Law journalist, is “a deception that enables a person to adopt certain roles or identities from which he would be barred by prevailing social standards in the absence of his misleading conduct.” Like his main characters Rena and John, Chesnutt grew up in an environment where he could pass as either black or white. His mixed…

I didn't react like the others, in fact, I was standing up with my head away from everyone. The pain that accumulated in me, was one of personal failure. If I could throw up, I would have to stop that terrible feeling. This feeling was soon soothed by the words of a teammate. My Fly Half, the one I butchered the pass to, asked why I was so downtrodden and I explained. He responded by telling me how proud he was of my performance, and that he was glad his last game was played by…

so differently. Who lives their life honorable, shows who that person truly is and what their morals are. To pass is something secretly desirable yet also condemning. What has been made popular by society as portraying passing, is different from what it was really like. To pass means you must have a stronger will in your heart and even stronger will-power to leave all you know behind. Not only was passing a selfish choice, but there was specific traits one would most likely possess when passing,…

renowned chess prodigy and champion, the way her mother acted bothered Waverly over time. Waverly accompanied Lindo to the supermarket. Lindo was indirectly flaunting her “face”, or image, but acting humble. This is seen in traditional Chinese confucianism coming from the elder generation. Waverly disliked her mother’s showing off and fake attitude but when she pointed this out, Lindo misinterpreted. “‘ I wish you wouldn 't do that, telling everybody I’m your daughter,’...’Aiii-ya. So shame be…

fashion bathrooms that they had. I enter the locker room, walked over the old wooden bench that has been engraved. I plopped myself down and listen to coach. Trying to relax a little more while drinking my water from the raggedy ass Gatorade bottle. Coach was explaining how we need to catch up. “If you guys make four baskets we will be in the lead. It’s not hard to make four or even more. Just look down at the post, and pass to Ally or Nyssa. Nyssa and I looked at each other knowing we would…

watching over me and bringing the right people in my life to help me with my future and career. If it wasn’t for my Grandma and Aunt I wouldn’t be trying to better myself and be the man I am today. Every day I wake up and try to make them proud of who I am and what I’m accomplishing and overcoming to reach my goals and make something of my life and not be irrelevant to society. Accounting has always been a dream of mine ever since I was in middle school. My aunt inspired me to become one after I…
