Small Faces

sprouted and gave him the personality that he has today and what is shown publicly. His humanity is what his drive was, his family and what he believed him were the key factors why he was different. As time went on and as they were slowly taken away to the camps, inhumanities started to pop up left and right that truly tested the boundaries that Elie had. It all cascaded during his first night at the camps, “Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed...Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky.” (Wiesel 34). Elie’s humanity took a nosedive into the deep end of the pool as he experience how horrible inhumanity can be. Elie had to keep his humanity there for a countless number of nights afterwards, slowly draining him of what he was, leaving him and every Jew around him like husks. That small amount of humanity is what gave life to Elie, it helped him save his father countless times as his father is holding whatever humanity Elie had left. Elie shall always remember his father’s smile, wondering from what world that it came from (Wiesel 90). It takes a strong person like Elie to have humanity after so many terrible…

In the present, people are on their phones at almost all waking moments of the day. Face to face communication and small talk are a dying concept. People now days, need to put down their phones and communicate with their mouths rather than their thumbs. Garrison Keillor has many interesting thoughts on this topic. The article, The small-talk pleasantries we don't do much anymore, is about how we don’t talk to strangers and strike up good conversation anymore. Even in small towns, people walk…

A place one could only get to by flying, and a place very few knew about. It was special to the three of them, and they liked to think that it was their own special place. Cloud Lake was on a floating island, the largest of eleven floating islands, in Distira. The island itself did not have a name, but the lake on it had a name. The Lake was made of water, but it flowed off of the island in a stream that turned into clouds. Thus, Cloud Lake. Some of the animals were crystal, others were…

backpack from the table and quickly ran out the door toward the woods not sure what was lurking in its darkness. I ran through the trees as briskly as I could, nimble on my feet. I knew no one could catch me now, no one knows what I’ve done. I was free to live my own life without rules or procedures to follow. A small grin crept across my face as I ran without a care in my body not sure what would become of the next day. I ran pointlessly for about an hour only stopping a few times to catch my…

When you look into the mirror every day to see a brown face reflected back at you, you learn to stay away from small towns. Because you know that, small town “hospitality” and small town, “togetherness”, is not extended to certain ‘strangers’. Why wander into cold stares and laced words when you’re perfectly fine in your bustling urban metropolis? Where you know that a cold stare, is the cold stare reserved for every stranger. Where every building held a face that looks just like the one…

This sounds simple, but every choice has consequences and noninvasive ventilation is no different. When a person is set up in ventilation, he or she faces the chance of getting skin breakdown and producing an ulcer. Some of the ways a patient can get these lesions or ulcers is from having the pressure set too high, wearing the mask for long periods of time without a break, if the mask does not fit properly, and in some cases the body mass index, however, that has not been proven yet. Any one of…

The girl hid behind her black shawl as he slowly made his way to the stand. The deafening silence made her cringe inside, her mind succumbing to the dark thoughts lurking in the corners. On her left, a ginger boy dusted in freckles had fallen asleep, oblivious to the tension in the room. On her right, an elderly woman clutched on to the cross hidden under her neck, muttering in an unknown language as if she could ward off the demons masked behind human faces with a single chant. She could tell…

It was a cold winter’s day and a John and his wife Lucy and their 5-year-old child face the pessimistic possibility of 10 hour drives home. John was a large man in both direction and in personality. Lucy was quaint more the type to only comment when help is needed. The John says to his wife, “ it will take 7 hours for sure honey” Lucy on the other hand is navigating and tells John “no it will 9 hours, how could it possibly take longer than that” in her usual passive tone. Once in the car and the…

According to research, most social media users can communicate with their friends and relatives but the communication is void. Technology is becoming a hindrance to intimate relationship.

It is, therefore, the reason that it necessitated the use of some small pictures to cover the gap that is left between those conversing on the social media.…
