Sliding door

The film Sliding Doors by Peter Howitt guides the audience through the two parallel universes of Helen’s life. The film starts with Helen racing to make a train after just being fired. In one storyline we see Helen get stuck behind a little girl for just long enough to miss her train, and she is late getting home. In the other storyline, we see her make the train and get home on time. As the story unfolds, we see sliding doors used in many other ways as a way of foreshadowing when an important event is about to take place. In the end, sliding doors are used to bring both stories back together showing what was meant to be all along. As Helen runs to the sliding train doors, a little girl playing with a toy steps ahead of her. She runs around the girl losing a bit too much time, and reaches the doors just as they…

Newton’s third law of physics state that “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” This can be applied to the universal concept of change and indicates that all choices have rippling effects in life, which shape the consequences of change we experience, be it positive or negative. Ideas of these consequences vary as every individual’s experience throughout their life depends entirely upon their reaction, resulting from the context. Peter Goldsworthy’s novel Maestro expresses…

Clunk, The sound of the deadbolt sliding into place, securing me in the house. Or so I thought. My mom got in the car and drove away, to return at 9 o’clock that night. I spent about an hour just sitting around, checking my phone, and wasting time. I thought about cleaning my “biohazard of a messy room” but I decided against it. I then realized that I wanted to go on a bike ride, but before that, I would need to do a load of laundry. I put it in the clothes, turned the machine on, and left it…

When we broke into groups for snack kids went where ever they wanted so staff was unable to keep an…

“I am sick of your smart mouth Nick. If you don’t want to come to the party with me then stay home. I’m sorry I even asked. I’m going to work.” Dani slammed the front door to the tiny apartment they barely gathered the money to pay for this month. “I didn’t fucking say…” Nick sighed, letting his voice drop out of a yell as to not alarm the neighbors. Again. Nick made his way toward their sorry excuse of a master bedroom, past the little dining table that was accompanied by two dark wooden…
