One Night Only

This is the ability to think less of oneself. As a mature individual, one should not be drawn to their own attention. People should have the ability to appreciate others for the contribution they have made to their success. A mature person will also give thanks to the creator for the talents accorded to them. They are aware…

Island of a Thousand Mirrors One of the key transitions that drove Saraswathi’s transformation was the loss of her family at the age of sixteen. Amma, her mother, explains, “You have to go from here, my daughter. We can’t keep you with us anymore. You must go to the training camp. Learn to fight. Become a hero” (159). Saraswathi’s environment changed as she was forced to become a Tiger soldier. As Saraswathi loses her parents, she no longer has a role model to look up to. Being young and…

across after leaving Rivendell and crossing that threshold. The third belly of the whale Frodo becomes the master of two worlds in two separate scenes of the movie. The first time is when Aragorn says to the hobbits, "My friends... you bow to no-one." He then bows and the rest of Gondor follows suite. This shows the true respect and gratitude he feels for all of their honorable work. The second time is when Frodo finishes writing his book. He is not home mentally and even tells Sam, "We set…

keep going. Throughout that time our memory lets us remember the good and the bad that has taken place. In a newly built squeaky clean auditorium, I played for a spring league volleyball league as well my best friend ShyLynn in seventh grade. I had one tournament left to play and it was in the gym my school was very proud of. After the winning spike smacked the court floor and our fans roared I celebrated with my teammates but quickly felt dissatisfied that ShyLynn didn’t get to share the glory…

Effectiveness, efficiency, and a great story is what to look for in a book, like The Hobbit. From the book to the movie there are many ineffective changes affecting the plot of the scene. The novel is written by J.R.R. Tolkien, and the movie, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is directed by Peter Jackson. In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, a little hobbit, is persuaded to venture on a journey with thirteen dwarves and Gandalf, a great wizard, to steal back stolen gold and kill the enormous Smaug. On…

list by sibbion Vivian is an interesting book. It was a tradition at Mount Washington high every year on the last Monday in September a list would get posted. The list would have the names of the prettiest and ugliest girls out of each grade level. No one know who the person was that would make the list so if you didn’t like it there was nothing you could do about it. The list follows the eight girls until homecoming. The list effects everyone different girls differently. While most of the girls…

just like ours. But what two worlds are exactly alike? No matter the similarity, each world is as unique as a snowflake. This world, born of Tolkien’s imagination, resides in Middle Earth; this is one whose people are Man, Dwarves, Dragons, Elves, and Hobbits alike. Throughout this tale, the readers follow one such hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, who joins thirteen militant dwarves on their quest to reclaim their homeland and the dwarvish kingdom under…

and Frodo Baggins share a very intimate friendship. One could even say they were brothers. Sam displays signs of deep concern for Frodo throughout the film. This is shown in the way he looks at Frodo, taking risks to protect him, and so forth. Frodo does the same for Sam, but in a less risky sense. He cares for him deeply, but doesn’t seem to take the same life threatening risks Sam does in order to do what is right for the relationship. In one part of the film, Frodo was departing on a boat,…

Bilbo Baggins was a hobbit. Hobbits are short and they have no beards. They are fat in the stomach. They wear bright colors and wear no shoes because they have thick callous on the bottom of their feet. Hobbits have strange brown hair on their feet which keep their feet warm. Hobbits can disappear quickly and quietly when a large folk comes making a noise like elephants that they can hear a mile off. Hobbits have long brown fingers, good-natured faces, and have deep fruity laughs. People…

Astrology, Astrios. Astrios was out wandering around in the dark late night sky around the mountains. He was searching for his long, lost, golden sword. He stumbled upon a sparkly, shiny, golden powder that had come from his golden sword. He thought to himself if he should pick it up or not. So he decided to pick it up with his bare, rough, impure hands. It felt like a soft, grainy, pure sand. So he throws it up into the dark nights sky and it lights up the whole park. He then gathers up the…
