Spirited Away

Heroes are sometimes the most ordinary people. They are often shown as mighty leaders saving the world, yet sometimes, they come from the most unexpected people in the most unexpected places. In Linda Holeman’s novel Search for the Moon King’s Daughter, the protagonist comes in the form of a responsible fifteen year old Victorian girl, Emmaline. Emmaline lives with her mother and brother Tommy in a poor section of Tibbing where she works as a seamstress for her aunt to provide for her family.…

extra time I wanted to save for myself. Fortunately, a few upperclassmen I had become friends with the summer before due to Marching Band went out of their way to help me adapt to this foreign environment. These individuals were intelligent, kind, spirited, selfless, and above all,…

SPIRITED MISADVDENTURES is a character driven story of self-discovery and healing. The story’s tone is dramatic, but nicely blended with wit and humor. The script explores solid themes about grieving, communication, reconnecting, and healing. It’s an introspective story told with subtext. One of the strengths of this script is the character of Dani. She’s well crafted as a very complex woman. She presents with a very tough exterior that’s abrasive. In fact, initially it’s challenging to like or…

First Argument Analysis In his book, The Abolition of Man, Lewis (1944) argued in the first chapter, Men Without Chests, that “Reason in man must rule the mere appetites by means of the ‘spirited element’” (p.24). In another words, “The head rules the bely through the chest. The Chest – Magnanimity – Sentiment are the indispensable liaison officers between cerebral man and visceral man” (p.24-25). Accordingly, Lewis suggests that the most essential thing about education is to inspire and train…

If I am with people I know well, I could be described as outspoken and talkative or even when I am around people I may not know well but do not care to know well this is definitely true . For example, on the softball field I am very energetic and spirited to try and keep my teammates’ moods and energy up. I don’t care about what the other team thinks about…

Almost two years ago now, we met again for the second time in our lives. You found me (a teenager) which like many others before been neglected as a kid. Walked around with the belief that I'd never know what it felt like to be loved, so I closed off my heart and made it impenetrable. Believing that if I stayed emotionless I could endure and survive any loss or pain, manipulation. You were warmth and compassion. Something so far set apart from my friends and family. You engulfed me in warmth,…

The ongoing cycle we sometimes get stuck in due to the constraint of time is like falling leaves flowing nonstop by the influence of the wind. Just as a clock goes around and around we fall into that spinning circle running the risk of the days running into each other without reaching the contentment of life. We drift off from the world blighted to find enlightenment. That soothing feeling that grows within you when you become a person who spends their days in seclusion evokes you to inhale…

Several statistics show that men and women deem different qualities in their significant others as desirable. For example, The Telegraph says that, “when it comes to the mating game, men are more interested in the beauty of their partner than women, who are more interested in success and affluence.” This proves very true throughout the novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The three female characters in Great Gatsby fit into the superficial world of New York by manipulating their intelligence,…

think badly of them. An example of this is cheerleaders. When you picture a cheerleader, the majority of people will picture a girl. This isn’t particularly bad because that’s what we see most, but of course there are some male cheerleaders. Mean spirited people will often pick on these boys for pursuing their passion which is completely wrong to do. It’s important for people to start realizing that it’s wrong to make fun of someone, no matter which gender, for doing something or being around…
