to someone who didn’t deserve it. Now I’m not entirely 100 percent sure I was in love, but whatever it was—whenever it ended it still hurt as bad. It’s crazy how someone can become so important to you in such a short amount of time. One minute you’re cruising, living life, then BAM! All of a sudden someone consumes your thoughts. You want to know everything about them. It’s all happy and fun, it’s ‘the chase’ (that’s the best part). But once they’ve caught you things change.…

She does not take any foolishness from Troy or anyone in general. In scene I Troy begins telling the story of how the two first met. Troy did not want to marry Rose at first and only wanted to “be her man” (1721). However, Rose was not fond of this idea. She said that she told him “if he wasn’t the marrying kind, then move out the way so the marrying kind could find me” (1721). Through this quote it is proven that Rose has a lot of self-respect. She was not willing to mess around with a man…

Abortion has been an intricate topic for many years. Abortion is a medical procedure which terminates a pregnancy. The ongoing argument is whether or not women should be entitled to have abortions. There are two different movements that have started due to abortion. These two movements are the abortion-rights movement, and the pro-life (anti-abortion) movement. The purpose for each movement is self-explanatory, being that they are either for or against abortion, for their own personal reasons…

The other day, my devoted mother texted me to assure my well-being was not at stake. Many may not see the significance of this text; however, my mother was derived from the Baby Boomer Generation, therefore she is not fond of the technology realm. I told her I wasn 't okay. She attempted to continue texting me despite her having odd formatting and grammatical errors in her text. Later, this led to a phone call and the last thing she told me was "Don 't forget to pray and I love you." It was…

Tom is "full of principle." He accepts the fact that his own ideas, though better, do not have the requisite style that only someone "brung up to it" can have” (Page 5). Huck knows that his ideas would be safer and easier to follow through but he goes with Tom’s plans since they make Tom happy and that’s all he wants to do. Another example of this is in chapter two, Huck thinks to himself, “I didn’t want him to try. I said Jim might wake up and come. But Tom wanted to resk it; so we slid in…

Hi readers! I would love to start off by saying I had absolutely no intention of writing about anything truly personal for my first post. But for some reason this was weighing on my heart to share with you. I'm gonna be talking about being broken. Just the other day Sabrina posted a beautiful post titled, Embracing the Broken Pieces, where she shared her brokenness and the love of God that a sweet woman showed her! After reading her piece I knew for sure I was supposed to share this. Because…

Ashley ends up putting the tampon in “the farthest-back hole” (197, Holmes) and can’t get it out. Harry is able to help coach her through getting it unstuck over the phone. This sudden biological change thrusts her closer to adulthood, but…
