Something Wicked This Way Comes

Getting on the bus to travel 26 hours to my destination would normally be something that was seemingly dreadful. The thought that I was traveling to New York gave me an unexplainable amount of excitement and I did not give a care in the world that I would be spending 26 hours in the same seat, on the same bus, with the same people in my eighth grade junior high class, because I was going to New York. Although I am now junior, I still remember each moment spent from the time I left Iowa, to the…

I agree with this because in his poem “Chicago” the poems tells the story about the workers and the less wealthy of Chicago, not the rich and powerful of the city. It shows the grit that the city has and the determination that they have. Sean Robisch stated that Sandburg…

I have chosen this topic for my investigation as I find mythical (fictional) movies to be fascinating and am especially interested in the link between the famous movie, “The Wizard of Oz” and the prequel, “Oz the Great and Powerful”, notionally set 20 years before the events of the original film. Made in 2013, the prequel focuses on the character Theodora, who is presented initially as a good witch but who becomes the Wicked Witch of the West in the later film. I decided to study how the…

story of “The Wizard of Oz” by L. Frank Baum, which was later turned into the iconic movie in 1939. While this might not be a fairytale in the same sense of ‘Little Red…

tree near his vineyard, he claims that humans do evil things for the sole reason of sinning. I agree with this notion because I think everyone remembers a time where they knew where they were doing something wrong and yet continued to do it anyway. In Harrington, Augustine then goes on to say that he did not understand how God can be supremely good and yet have created evil things. He comes to the conclusion that wickedness “is not a substance but a perversity of the will turning away from you,…

Poppins is forcibly blown in be the East Wind. In the story, Mr. Banks makes the observation that “Admiral’s telescope says East Wind. I thought as much. There is frost in my bones.” ( pg.5) The East and West winds are a symbol of change or trouble to come. The wind controls where Mary Poppins goes, but it does not seem to take her against her will. “It was as though it had flung her first at the gate,waited for her to open it, and then had lifted and thrown her, bag and all, at the front…

have a hard time comprehending without spending some time contemplating that statement. The author stated that wickedness and ungodliness or not the same thing. Wicked is defined in the dictionary as a person that will perform very bad deeds. But when you speak of a person who is ungodly; that doesn’t automatically make you think about a wicked person. Have you never known someone who you think of as a good neighbor, fellow employee or even a friend…

aim of this paper is to explain how Descartes gets to his first certainty I think, I am (Meditation II). Descartes argues that he cannot doubt whatsoever he thinks. He reasons that doubting is a way of thinking. He remains affirmative about his existence and says even if the devil made him doubt that he existed, to him that will surely mean that he certainly exists. Nothing that can be proven not to exist to does exist when remarking about Descartes quote. The mind has been set in such a way…

Earlier this school year in agriculture class some of my friends and I were in the garden pulling weeds. One girl pulled up a patch of weeds and discovered a mouse. Several people started scrambling around while the girl wanted to pick it up. One of my friends, an outdoor person scooped up the mouse in such a way as to avoid being bitten. The mouse squealed and the first girl mistook its squeal of fear for a squeal of pain. She then repeatedly said, “Don’t hurt it!” In the midst of this…

I am on page 70; however, I plan to quit reading the novel. There are two main reasons for which I dislike this book. The first is that the hopeless tone of the main character, Iris, is very forced. The words do not seem to flow naturally, and as I read I feel very much like the author is trying incredibly hard to create something (to be completely frank I am not sure what that something is). It seems to have been written less to tell a story and more to convey a point; I am all for books with…
