Petra

low point in my life, and it truly helped me refocus myself. Furthermore, my Papa was a tremendous fan of the Gaithers, and it reminds me of him. Papa fought cancer and did not win, so this song has a special place in my heart. The Coloring Song by Petra, another Christian band, is also very dear to me, but in other ways. It is about the colors of being a Christian, and I’ve loved it ever since I was little. Dad and I used to always listen to it together and try to sing it all the way through,…

In 1952 antisocial personality disorder, abbreviated ASPD, was classified in the first addition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (DSM) as a sociopathic personality disturbance and that it could merely be considered ‘moral insanity’(Hesse, M. 2010). It wasn’t until the second addition of the DSM came out that it was categorized as it own personality disorder that was to be classified, when being diagnosed, as mild, moderate or severe, but many psychologists didn't accept…

The story is quite a good concept, but was poorly executed. Some gaps in the story just male no sense. Who is Petra? How do Inger and Silas magically come out of nowhere to save Quinn? How did Abel just run out of air like that? The story just made no sense. Now the characters also had some gaps in them. Abel (another insignificant character) sneaked tree branches…

The book that I am reading is called ENDER’S GAME from Orson Scott Card. This book is about an alien species attacking earth many years ago and the human race is trying to stop them from attacking again. There is something called battle camp where they recruit intelligent kids. They use them for training by controlling fleets of spaceships (in the game) and army into war to wipe out the aliens planet. There are different armies ranked on level of how many wins did they have in the arena. There…

downs. Here are the comparisons between these two tales of Ender’s Game. The filmmakers of Ender’s Game: The Movie made unnecessary additions to the original story more than needed, such as tranquilizing Ender after he killed the buggers, having Petra be at Ender’s side when he goes off to find the bugger egg, or when there’s an actual adult bugger queen when Ender finds the egg. Though, there are some additions that made the movie worth watching, like the backstory on why Stilson lashed out at…

David Storm is the main Character in The Chrysalids. He starts off as a ten-year-old boy who is left handed and has telepathy, in a very strict religious society. By the end of the book, he is well into his teen years. David does not understand the dangers of mutants. He saw them just like any other normal person. For example, when he found out about Sophie's six toes that didn’t change his view on her, he continued to be friends with her. David is very trustworthy, clever, curious and brave.…

“They was gettin him for breaking out the windows in the school building, and it was Two-bit who did that. And Dally knew it. But he just took the sentence without batting an eye or denying it. That’s gallant.” Gallant people are those who are brave, who are courageous, and most especially who are loyal. Loyalty is helping someone before yourself. For example, if your friend is getting in trouble you don’t just let them get in trouble you help them and that is loyalty. Justice is obeying the law…

With a strongly rooted conservative right-wing population the political climate has been tense for those wondering otherwise. What is the reason behind the choices of the Prime Minister? What good will these value-based laws bring about? Lauren Frayer, in A Race to The Far Right in Hungarian Politics (2015), interviews a Hungarian native to see what a far-right movement will bring about for the future of his people. A portion of the populace has concerns with the rhetoric Viktor Orban uses to…

Few names in history have risen to myth-like status. Alexander, son of Phillip II of Macedon, is one of those names. Alexander’s profound effect on the world has given him the moniker “the great” and made him into a myth-like hero with the likes of Achilles, Caesar and even Hercules. Through all of his conquests and military campaigns during the third century B.C.E., Alexander spread Greek culture (Hellenism) throughout much of the ancient world. The effects of this changed western culture…
