Standing wave

beautiful” - anonymous I experienced one of these days in beautiful Montana, at the lake with my best friend, Cole Moberly. It was a reposeful morning with a slight chill in the air, and all you could hear was the sweet sound of the clear blue waves in the lake. Cole and I were expecting an entertaining day at the lake catching loads of fish, then going back to my family's RV and enjoying some s'mores, (like what we always do.)Making it the best 24 hours of my life. However, you can’t…

It’s really funny thinking back about how it all began. A kid with no experience whatsoever of Parkour attempted one of the higher level tricks and succeeded. It was hot, the sun was bright and my clothes were sticking to my red body. My palms were sweating, was it nervousness? No, it was excitement, or it could just have been the furious heat of the fiery orb we called a sun. Maybe I was overthinking things and being overly cautious, but I look toward Shaggy and asked, “You sure I can do…

You’re at a party and everyone seems to be having a good time except you, because they’re all talking in a foreign language. The person who is conversing with you is stepping on your foot. Perturbed, you turn away and look across the room. Standing there in a long black frock coat is your long-dead grandfather. You are happy to see him and go to talk with him. Suddenly, the room has changed to a large ballroom and the men are all in black frock…

invaders is kept obscure, no direct reference is made to the French. The ambiguity of the invaders is furthered near towards the end in which the speaker calls for the people to ‘render them back upon the insulted ocean,/And let them toss as idly on it waves’. The use of ‘them’ gives the reader no sense of who the poet is referring to. During this period in Britain, violence is used against supporters of the revolution in order to repress them (Dickinson). Coleridge also describes the peace as…

hour of every one else fighting I had to go up and break the board. As I was standing there the sweat dripping down my forehead, The butterflies in my stomach saying “Oh come on, puke all ready”. As I ran at the three wooden boards I broke them and I was so happy. As I was so excited to get my black belt I had to wait about twenty minutes just so the judges could figure out if they passed or not. As I was standing in a row of red belts, I was thinking am I going to pass. My mother walked…

Moonlight, the 2017 independent film directed by Barry Jenkins, utilized lighting, contrast, and colors to tell an insightful story exploring themes including race, sexual identity, and drug abuse, among others through the metamorphosis of its central character, Chiron. One particular scene expertly directed occurred within the first fifteen minutes of the film, where Juan teaches Chiron how to swim. The scene itself retains an intimate mood and is comprised of eight medium close-up shots in…

vibrations that it can pick and projects theses vibrations into the ear creating sound. Second we have the FM System. The FM System is a box the individual would carry with them. The box is like a microphone that picks up speech and transmits the sounds waves through a line attached to the box into the ear of the individual. Lastly, we have Cochlear Implants. Cochlear Implants involve a complex surgery in the head to the ear. They will implant an electrode array behind the ear and attached a…

Narrative Whoosh! My brother glides by me with little effort. Watching him do well makes me think “Oh I can do that to then.” I’ve always thought I’ve had quite the talent of being astounding at things after I’ve seen someone do it right before me. But not today. I jumped into the water, put the skis on, and was holding the rope in my hands. Laying back in the water thinking “This is gonna be easy” then “Bbb RRrr” the boat was off and the only place I went was back in the water. It was just a…

As waves break on the sand, birds tweet back and forth high in the trees, the sand wrinkles along the bottoms of my feet, and as the smell of the fresh outdoors saturates my nose I think to myself, “This is my favorite place in the whole world.” Ever since I was a little girl, my parents took our family on camping trips to Glendo State Park, Wyoming, or as we like to call it, Lake Glendo. Glendo State Park is located almost directly 200 miles north of Denver, Colorado, and is surrounded by many…

But even as a refugee, I was determined to make it, and I did. Maryam Mosuf, proudly standing as one of the Ministers of my beloved non Islamic country of Canada. Canada with the leadership of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who could have not been happier the day him and I were welcoming the first wave of Syrian Muslim refugees at the airport. Unlike the divine leaders of Afghanistan and Syria, more likely the godly Prime Minister was hoping…
