Her blades itched to cut his throat out. A single swipe was all it took and Captain Blackblaze, the Eastern Pirate Lord would be drowning his own blood. Vaguely she wondered where Daeth would take his spirit into the Netherworld. Probably nowhere good. The idea was pleasing, but if she struck, her life might as well be forfeit. There were too many pirates for her to fight through on her own. Even if she used the Captain as a hostage, she wouldn’t have enough time. “Obviously, you didn’t know I bought this place the last time Malcrove and I struck a deal,” Captain Blackblaze drawled pretentiously. “A deadly mistake for Malcrove, not informing you. You are his favorite, aren’t you?” Silver blades twirled easily in her fingers, creating the only distance between them. “In several ways, I suppose.” How he chose to take that statement would be entirely up to him. His chuckle was dark. “You didn’t expressly state it, but the meaning is there, isn’t it? How dirty, lying in bed with the boss.” Wrong. How wrong that was idea in and of itself, but Orlana couldn’t bring herself to feel anything more than apathy when it came to the Captain’s opinions. “What you think is irrelevant to me,” she stated…

I said this earlier but when it comes to restraints, the only ones that should be there are the ones you put on yourself. This is very important when it comes to the people of today. A rule is a rule and just having one means that there is a huge issue, that issue being what is what. We liv in a era of participation awards, by that I mean that everyone has to feel like a special snowflake whether they are or not. The reason I bring this up is because of the one main rule Libertarianism has, that…

result of all these experiences, Precious is considerably detached from the rest of the society. Precious faces tremendous challenges and is usually taunted by her peers for being overweight. At the moment, the girl cannot trust anyone especially members of the opposite gender. She has significantly lost any hope in life and would require psychological treatment. Intriguingly, though, Precious escapes into her fantasy world from time to time where she imagines herself in a world where she is…

Sentences in Mango Street are all short and often fragmented. This lets the reader pause, so that meaningful lines .have more impact because the reader can let everything sink in. An example of where this has been used effectively is Four Skinny Trees, “They are the only ones who understand me. I am the only one who understands them… Four who do not belong here but are here… Their strength is secret. They send ferocious roots beneath the ground… Four whose only reason is to be and be.” (Page 75)…

In American people are accustomed to a certain way of life. Most do not fear having to be told what to do with their life or with matters of personal and individual privacy. However, China has a different life-style. A lifestyle I had only heard at one point in my life in passing or seen briefly on the television on in movies. I would have never known how life was actually like if I did not have the privilege of working side-by-side at Citizens Bank and Trust with a woman named Liping Cai.…

you will still be talking, Signior Benedick, nobody marks you” (A1; S1; L114-115). This not only shows her hatred toward Benedick in the beginning of the play but also shows that she can have a very wicked tongue and she is not afraid to speak her mind. Telling him that she does not know why he even wastes his breath by talking, nobody respects him so in her mind he should do them all a favor and just not talk. In the same conversation Benedick says “God keep your Ladyship still in that mind, so…

they are born in. Based on their theories, only children, youngest children, middle children, and oldest children all have different characteristics and personalities. Some of the characteristics that would alter, based on birth order could be: openness, social skills, sharing skills, intelligence, decision-making, etc. Personally, in my family, everyone is similar in ways, but are also different in ways. Out of Paige, Pierce, and myself, I would say Paige is the most independent of the three,…

Sofia lives in a small pink house in the corner between the police station and the park in Micanopy Florida. The home only had 1 window, which most people in the town would not mind, but Sofia did. This little town was inhabited by the fixators and the sophics. Fixators were the people that got zapped into their smart glasses. They do not need to look up or communicate because all they needed in their lives were through those lenses. The sophics were the cursed ones. They were the ones who got…
