So Many Tears

As I wake up in this stranger’s home with tears coming down my face I asked myself would I ever see my parents again. It all started when I was in second grade. One day I was messing around and I got in trouble with my dad, and I could tell that he furious his whole face was red and I swear I could see the smoke come out of his ears, so I ran away from him, but he trapped me in the corner and he took off his belt and he started beating me while I laid on the floor I can feel the sting of the…

The Book of Margery Kempe is known to be the earliest autobiography written in English, though for many years, it was only known through a book of excerpts published during the sixteenth century. It wasn’t until 1934 that a copy of the original fifteenth century manuscript finally appeared.

fan of kpop, especially the group Girls’ Generation. Listening to that song ended up influencing my undying k-pop obsession. In the end, I became an even more intense kpop fan than she ever was. Besides introducing me to kpop, Keziah introduced me to many things involving music that influenced my love for that it. While attending West Leyden, she was a part of the Leyden Orchesis. Especially during Orchesis season, she’d often come to my house to practice on her own since I had more room in my…

room”. The “waiting room” is a top secret area located in the headquarters of NASA space center. NASA secretly chooses two people from each US state, 21 and over, to come and get entered in a drawing to go on one of their missions, and my hologram just so happened to show that I was chosen from Illinois, for “mission Jupiter”.

daredevil. I am a proud mother of two, a Cairn terrier mutt named Charlie and an aging sassy cat named Missy. I am a retired girl scout and participant of many sports-none of which I was good at. I am a part of a southern Baptist family with closed minds. I am one to keep my mouth shut around these individuals. I am a in a very strange family, if I do say so myself, but I have to love them. I am in an amazing group of friends, whom I’m sure agree,…

who was beating so rudely. For Brutus, as you certainly know, was Caesar 's blessed and untouchable transportation individual. The great/God-related animals know how past all doubt Caesar loved and respected and respected him! This was the most mean cut of all. For when the respectable Caesar saw him wound, he understood his loved and honored and respected Brutus ' rudeness; it was more grounded than the terrible behavior of (people who help the enemies of a nation, of partners, and so forth.),…

never told me what it means to work hard, when I was a freshman in high school and she explained her life story to me I knew that she was the definition of the kind of person I want to work hard to become. She explained to me without shedding a single tear, how she lost her husband and two sons. She explained to how she got the scars on her hands and the callus on her feet.

“Confusyd in hirself and hir owyn unstabylnes:” Plurality, Bricolage, and Infinite Regress in The Book of Margery Kempe There is a plurality of spiritual signifiers in The Book of Margery Kempe. We all know of Kempe’s “gift of tears,” of her ecstatic visions, her commitment to wearing white and creating a chaste marriage for herself.
