Heroin, known as one of the deadliest recreational drugs, is making a comeback to the eastern shore. Heroin, derived from the seed of a poppy plant, has a unique molecular structure, making it an interesting topic of discussion. Using this highly addictive drug destroys both your mind and your body. Sudden discontinued use, also known as cutting off “cold turkey”, can bring about intense symptoms of withdrawal, leaving the user feeling incredibly ill, helpless, and desperate for the drug. Heroin…

The gods stories were created by homer they were used to explain everyday things that happened if it stormed people thought it was Zeus doing it. People believed When they fought they would pray to their god to let them win, people who didn't pray usually lost. Gods were invented before the bible. Thanatos had a family, including parents…

During my visit to the art museum I saw a lot of styles of art that I hadn’t experienced before. From glass and paintings to sculptures and photography there was quite a bit to take in. I enjoyed my trip to the Vero Beach Museum of Art much more so then I expected. Seeing all of the different pieces of art in person really seemed to intensify the experience of critiquing art in a different way than I had experienced just viewing pictures of art in class or at home. Some of the pieces really…

It was a warm quiet Okanagan evening and as I sat out on the deck and watched a small car enter the driveway. A tall elderly gentleman unfolded from the car to sell a jar of honey. This seemingly insignificant gesture was the beginning of becoming the owners of “Arlo’s Honey Farm”. As green as grass and armed with a beekeeping book founder’s husband purchased – she jumped in and did her best. The bees have taught her many things, aside from a fast track education in beekeeping. The first lesson…

experience each season, they also experience each terrain type possible. Weather changes like these make life hard. People not only have to prepare, but they must have the funds to do this. Drastic climate changes also make growing food hard for farmers. Poppy farms have been increasing in number due to the plant’s nature to survive during a drought. Structures in Afghanistan can differ quite a bit depending on your location. Mosques are very important to the Afghanistan people. A mosque is…

Dear cousin Maeve, (History and Geography) I heard the news about the Lusitania and how it sank on the seventh of May, and I know it happened near the other side of Ireland, how are the people reacting back home in Mayo? Also, how is Aunt Kathy? I, on the other hand, am not doing as well. I have news that makes me feel sick every time I think about it. Roger and I will be heading overseas to help France in the war. France has suffered lots of casualties from the Oise-Aisne campaign, along with…

This is my paper on the desert. It is one of the harshest environments. It is empty, arid, and quiet. A bit too quiet for most people. You will die if you do not have water with you if you go hiking in the desert. If you live there though it is no big deal, because you obviously live in a settlement of some sorts. The desert is a strange place, but I love it because I live in the desert. It is like an alien world to most people. That's why some sci-fi movies have been filmed there. For example,…

The poem, “Tonight at Noon”, written by Adrian Henri, is a very realistic poem that can help you see a different perspective. This poem starts by saying all this nonsense things that will never come true, like pigs flying. The poem ends by saying, “and you will tell me you love me tonight at noon”. I like to look at it as a sort of wake up call, initially saying that she will never love him. I love this poem because it seems real to me and my perspective of life. The theme of this poem is like…

The words seem to be filled with regret since he had not seen the boy in so long. He brings narration to how the boy looked, “Wearing a poppy bruise on his left temple, / He lay in the four foot box as in his cot. / No gaudy scars, the bumper knocked him clear (19 -21).” This description is very powerful in the language and coldness that is expressed. Throughout the poem, it seems as if…

relaxed vibe. The music also creates a significant mood as whole and sometimes affects the roles of the characters. The mood that the music sets up during the film changes time from time, but generally stays within a romantic theme or up beat and poppy. The soundtrack in Midnight in Paris was able to fit properly into both time…
