Something Wicked This Way Comes

What is the mean in of the word hero? Heroes come in many different shape, sizes, and personalities. Where they come from isn’t a big mystery either. Heroes come from all over the globe. Even the person sitting next to you on the bus could be a hero. The personalities of a hero is important, but it is more of what they do that makes them a hero. The fact that somebody is just being a friend to another human can be one of the most heroic things possible. When looking for the meaning of a hero it…

Was does it mean to be real? It wasn’t until I finished the final draft of Poison Lip Gloss that it struck me how often I write about this topic. I struggled quite a bit with my “reality” when I was younger, and even sometimes now. I can touch a blade of grass and know that it exists to me, but do I exist to it? Well, if I can bend the blade down to the earth then I have affected it. My presence, my touch, has changed that leaf and though it has sprung back up the same as before, it will never…

ground for traces of snowball’s footsteps, which, he said, he could detect by the smell… “‘ Snowball! He has been here! I can smell him distinctly!”’(Pg57) Whenever something went wrong on the farm everyone automatically assumed it was Snowball but since they were not sure they needed someone to confirm it that's when Napoleon comes in the picture and claims that he can detect Snowball so he checked and then confirmed that in fact it was Snowball all along exactly how everyone suspected and with…

kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.” This “being flooded with water” is clearly a reference to the days of Noah. Like Christ, Peter says that in the last days, people will show evidence of their ignorance and debased minds by mocking the idea that God will again disrupt the continuity of life by displaying His wrath on a desperately immoral world. Peter says God will again bring punishment on a wicked earth. But this time it will be with fire, not water. To what extent…

11:7) But in what way is Noah an example of faith for us? Noah lived in a day in which man is graphically described as “wicked” and when “every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Genesis 6:5). A day when the earth was corrupt and filled with violence (Genesis 6:11–12). It was ultimately a day when God finally said enough is enough and promised to destroy mankind with the earth (Genesis 6:13). However, there is a contrast between Noah and the wicked people of his…

Grendel’s theorem is "For every action of the human heart there is an equal and opposite reaction." I interpret Grendel’s law as stating that there is something in other people that counterbalances what is in you and what is in each other; for example, if a bad person has a truly evil heart, then there is a person out there somewhere who is just as good as this person is bad, and the two balance each other. Grendel is the evil, and Beowulf is the good. Grendel is the darkness and Beowulf and the…

The Call of the Daggers The Tragedy of Macbeth is known as Shakespeare’s most bloody play. The name should speak for itself that it is not all butterflies and rainbows. Shakespeare writes Macbeth in such a dark murderous way, and he alludes to the theme of death and evil from the beginning. Act two, scene one is the written effect to the glass shattering of hope the audience has for Macbeth to stay a good and moral person. The dagger soliloquy Macbeth speaks before the murder of King Duncan…

breeze in to freshen up the room and make it more comfortable. By using the word with its original meaning while also being used by such popular people and celebrities led to its mass use today to mean cool as style and able to think and act in a calm way and not be affected. Because of Young’s popularity and the huge craze of the Jazz scene led to the relaxing and hip term to mean cool.(“Vsauce”). “Cool” since then has transformed through different eras and icons from James Dean to The Beatles…

centuries. In most cases, especially when it comes to the grand story of Christianity (particularly the New Testament century and on), there is a belief that there are two separate locations: one realm dealing with the wicked and the other dealing with individuals deemed righteous. There have been an array of theological discussion and debate on this phenomenon. This perception assuming a judgement day deeming individuals either or (righteous versus wicked), is an argument in and of itself and…

In Mordred: A Tragedy, one major plot change is the final battle’s beginnings, the battle of Camlann. In this battle, Mordred and Arthur settle their disputes and pains with the two about to share a drink, when a soldier on Mordred’s side steps on a snake and is bitten. This soldier then draws his weapon and begins the chaos that starts the battle. That unfortunate tragedy is what makes Mordred’s life that much more tragic, as it almost…
