The Tumultuous Nature of Home The characters of both Homer’s epic poem and Sophocles’ tragedies are trying to establish or return to the safety of their homes. They are searching and yearning for the safety, stability, and comfort that are expected at one’s own home. However, the home often disappoints in these regards, and is regularly the setting for extreme trauma and violence instead. By first establishing the expectation that safety and comfort can be achieved only within one’s home, and…

Angel Lyles-Grayer Ms. Carpenter English IV 24 October 2017 OMG! Why are my children acting this way? Wondering why it is so hard to control your children? Wondering where did you go wrong as a parent? Confused as to why your children are not obeying your rules or disrespecting you when all you have done was give them everything they have asked for and more? Have you ever thought that maybe instead of trying to be their friend you learn to discipline them first or teach them that it is not…

I woke up so excited that I was literally running and jumping up and down around my house. I woke up at 4:30 in the morning! I woke up my parents and my brother and sister to get ready to leave the house and go to Long Beach to board on a cruise ship! The name of the cruise ship is called The Carnival Cruise Ship. I have been on a cruise ship once and it was so spectacular! We loaded our bags in the car to go and have breakfast. After breakfast, we were on the road to Long Beach. The car…

The majority of american families are not what they used to be, as outlined in the article “The Changing American Family” by Natalie Angier. A traditional family is classified as two parents of opposite sex with one or more children under twenty living in the household. Families in this generation are becoming more and more diverse in ways ranging from ethnicity to religion. Settling down, getting married, and having kids is no longer the standard of the new generations. However do the few…

Praying “Praying” is Kesha’s first single in the time of about four years. This song tells the journey of Kesha, and her battle with depression. It’s much more than that though. There are two lessons people can derive from this song, one is to feel empathy for people, even the ones who hurt us, and second is to be proud of ourselves through the lows and highs of life. Kesha took all her emotions and formed a beautiful song that most people can relate to in some way. Maybe most people haven’t…

The day I found out that I was going to be a mother my emotions were everywhere. I didn't know whether to cry ←or→ laugh. I was scared to tell the father ←and→ my family. In my mind I was thinking that I was not ready. I didn't want anybody to judge me, ←and→ I was afraid of being a single mother. At the time, I was in college I had two jobs ←and→ I had just bought a car ←and→ I was barely getting by. I also had a disagreement with one of my bosses at work ←and→ it resulted in me quitting one…

are a fun learning experience. My sister and I wanted a pet, more than just an orange and black betta fish. It was late 2010, almost 2011. I had wanted a rabbit for as long as I could remember, but my parents didn’t want to get one. “We already have a fish, we don’t need more pets.” Was one of my parents excuses. I would always beg and beg for one, but it never worked. Not even my silver puppy-dog eyes could persuade them. One day I had the “brilliant” idea of trying to catch rabbits in my…

For as long as I can remember weight has played a significant role in my life. As a child, I was cute and chubby, so no one treated me differently than any other kid. All I saw throughout my childhood was my family, who are all on the heavier side, so being heavier was never a bother. I saw being larger than normal as an asset because I could boss other kids around. Having always been taller than my friends, I would make fun of them for not growing like I did. It was a role I enjoyed because it…

Sister-Hoods My mother must’ve known that her children would be great, but I’m sure all mothers make this assumption. She ensured that we were always engaged in the most character building and positively influencing activities. I am a photographer, painter, model, singer, dancer, sculptor, novelist and all that I aspire to be because my mother encouraged me to take on such advantages. It’s funny that now I can brag about having a resume at 12 because my mother not only knew the value of…
