T-shirt and a pair of shorts. Next I make my way to the bathroom where I brush my teeth and put in my contacts. 9:30 a.m. As I come up the stairs I can smell a sweet aroma of syrup and bacon. Laid on the table are plates covered in pancakes, bacon, sausage, muffins, toasts, donuts, and waffles. Once my family and I eat our fill I call a few of my friends to come over. 10:00 a.m. While I’m waiting for my friends to arrive, I’m busy watching one of my favorite TV shows Criminal Minds. 11:00 a.m.…

Inspired by the classic folktale of Little Red Riding Hood and its variations in Maria Tartar’s “The Classic Fairytales,” my group decided we wanted to revamp this classic story into a modernized setting with a twist. This story became known as “Little Red Riding Hood Rampage.” We wanted to work with all the given elements in the folktale and retell the story with reworked characters, voice, sequence, plot, conflict, and resolution. Though our rework of the tale compares and contrasts with other…
unconditionally, but because she knew what a poor example that her mother, my grandmother, taught her. A common weekend activity with my mom consisted of us driving to McDonald’s and ordering my favorite breakfast meal. Hotcakes and sausage with an extra sausage, but it wasn’t quite that innocent. My mother would also order a meal for herself and pretend she didn’t notice me taking her hash brown. She would always say, “They forgot to put my hash brown in the bag.” Yet we both knew where that…

Continental Airlines flight 1065 from New York to Mexico City. “Excuse me, Mrs. Flight-Attendant Lady, I do not think that I am able to sit in the Emergency Exit Row of this airplane.” They had told us to go ahead and speak up. She looks at me like I have to be crazy, like she’d never heard this before, she looks for missing arms and says “Why are you not able?” and I say, “Because I don’t really want that responsibility. I seriously believe that in the highly unlikely event that I, or anyone…

Due to the beliefs of the Germans, the Jews were terribly mistreated. Germans wanted the Jews to be gone for good and that is why egregious places like Auschwitz were built. Even though most Germans thought that Jews were the source of all their problems; they did not deserve to be sent to terrible,…

Thousands of innocent people were taken from their families, stripped of their dignity, and banished to the harsh labor camps where they live day to day, finding pleasure in the smallest of achievements. This is exactly what Alexander Solzhenitsyn expresses in his novel, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Solzhenitsyn gives…
“None, of your beeswax.” replied Lovienthal bombastically, his arms akimbo. “Look guys, I gotta go. I don’t have time to waste on you two losers. Some of us have to go to work. Where not all spoiled little brats like the two of you, who have our mommy and daddy wiping our butts all day.” After snickering at and mimicking Lovienthal, Morgan said, “What the hell you talking about gotta go to work?” followed by his brother adding, “You mean, you gotta go down to the welfare office and get…
The soft morning sun illuminated the forest, and the two men moved westward. As they walked at a brisk clip, Percival asked, "About those senses… do you get them often? Some say people who get senses have magic. I'm not scared if you do have magic, by the way. Just curious." "Now and again I get strong — I don't know how to explain them — feelings," said Lancelot, his tone measured and even. Lancelot most assuredly did not have any magical skills… he was nothing like Merlin, who possessed the…
