Roasting

Because this is the first informal piece I write in American Literature, I think you should know where I stand on a variety of issues. Telling you about myself feels, by some means, dishonest since the most important thing about me is that I am constantly changing. When I was little, teachers used to tell us to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes before we judge them. Yet, I’ve never understood what we’re supposed to learn from a pair of shoes. If you want to know who I am, I suggest taking…

Ivan IV Vasilyevich, a ruler over Russia during the 1500s, has much controversy surrounding him. Many historians debate whether Ivan's name was really meant to mean cruel and sinister or awesome and threatening. The nickname of "Ivan the Terrible" is a translation from the Russian language. The original word used for terrible was "grozny", which is believed by some to have meant "fearsome" or "formidable", rather than horrific and monstrous ("Prominent Russians"). Ivan was truly terrible because…

The area I lived in had a fairly large jewish…

lifted it into the air to check its status to see that it was on fire, just how I liked it. I blew the flames out and smacked the marshmallow onto the cold chocolate bar and smashed the graham crackers together. When the rest of my family finished roasting their marshmallows, we all stuffed our faces unable to talk due to the stickiness of the marshmallow clamping our mouths shut. The only thing that could be heard was the attempts to scrape the gooey mess from the roofs of our mouths. My dad…

And I would join him on any military campaign. I only pray to the North Gods that Arminius finds me worthy enough to be one of his followers.” Rinka…
