National Coming Out Day

linoleum flooring. I opened my eyes and saw a cart being pushed by a woman wearing minnie mouse scrubs. Why is she wearing that? I thought. I could feel the effects of the anesthetic lingering in my body. That was when I remembered I had just come out of surgery to correct my bladder. The nurse looked at me with a smile on her face, “How are you feeling sweetie? I have a toy for you to choose.” I looked towards the cart and saw the pleasurable items. I saw a stuffed toy and immediately thought…

Bradbury’s Short Story Opinion The original short story “All Summer in a Day” was engaging. I felt part of the story because Ray Bradbury put me at that perspective. He also changed my mind about science fiction which I haven’t normally enjoyed. I felt as if I was trapped on the endlessly wet plant of Venus for years, until the sun rose again. The movie adaptation didn’t allow me the same vision of being on the planet. My favorite parts of the story were Margot, the students, and the ending…

to him from this. We both feel responsible and I was in no way was intimidated by David to let him come to my home, it was my actions and him missing us that led him here. As I said above, if anything, I should be held partially responsible for his coming here because I was the one who messaged him. Had I not messaged him begging him to come to my home, he would have followed through with the imposed…

Compared to Augustines own “memoir,” and his blatant skepticism of God, Karr’s story is tame. People have gone and come out of far worse situations and shrug it off. As for Karr, I felt like she was just growing up. Not to say her alcoholism wasn’t an issue, but she dealt with it through utter honesty that I find absolutely…well sobering. As honest as the story seems, “[a]nyway…

himself. By not having the sacrifice before him when he made the vow Jephthah can be viewed as being dishonest because no one has seen the one that will be sacrificed and no one knows if he is going to go through with it once he does meet whatever comes out of his doorway. The vow can be seen as a bribe to strengthen the covenant between the Lord and Jephthah, since there has to be a lot of trust between the two of them in order for the covenant to be cut. Bal also discusses how the daughter’s…

Most people might say that a scout is rowdy and out of order; there is no doubt they are absolutely right. To spend an entire week with eight of them, that's something. We all met in a parking lot excited, with our bags that contained pretty much anything you would never give to a group of 12 year-old boys. We’d go over what we packed: pocket knife, candy, mallet, slingshot, etc. We load up the cars and split up into two groups one in each car. Along the way we played stupid games such as…

see the them getting closer and closer to the falls. Now I’m starting to regret saying I would go on the boats because of the thundering water hitting the rocks and the big waves. “They get so close to the falls”, I mumble to myself. I start freaking out even more, it’s time for us to start heading down the elevator and get ready to go…

progression compare to the previous day and let’s not even compare with the test results of the first day Team Flash brought him back, it was a world of difference. There was barely any traces left of the drugs Barry’s been injected with, allowing the speed force to finally come back closer and closer to being at 100% again. And, while he still needed oxygen to compensate for his bad heart, the risk of coding again fell to…

woman in the orphanage when I heard that information and there outside the orphanage was Jerry sitting on a bench shoulders hunched down and head hung low. I see his hair again, the color of a corn shock standing out on the orange sun set hovering just above him. The next day, I found myself still in the empty, wooden cabin warmth brang from the logs Jerry had cut. I decided to cancel all my plans and maybe relax. I don't know what came to me, for I have nothing to do here anymore…

Novia was feeling sick to her stomach with such boiling rage and self pity, she was different from everyone else at school and she didn’t need reminded about it. It was a problem she faced every day but back at her old home there was people who accepted it, but now she has to go through the whole process again! Mr and Mrs Stevenson decided to move to Ohio from New York with their three kids Novia, Braxton and their newborn Piper. Novia thought living in New York was hard already especially…
