Staring

Pollution comes in different forms that all impact our environment, our lives, and our attitudes in a different way. By far the worst kinds of pollution that grinds people’s gears are deafening noise pollution and overpopulation. Early mornings are one of the most beautiful things this earth has to offer.

What has brought upon this madness? It is as though the entire town of Salem has been swept up in a wild inferno of vengeance – an inferno surely herding us all into the wrathful grasp of Satan. Surely, for all the years of learning, the wisdom I have found in my books I should have doused this folly before it began! I see the brand of condemnation on my hands, as bright and stained as it were the ink that with those hands sold the souls of the good Christian men and women of Salem. I have not…

“She fell in the pond yesterday when she was looking at herself in it, which she is always doing” (Twain 192). In this quote, Eve is staring at her own reflection and falls into the pond while doing so. Since she does not know that it is her own reflection, she sees it as a friend. This shows a commonly held stereotype that women spend magnanimous amounts of time staring at their own reflections. Through Adam, Twain shows the stereotype that men never show their true feelings. Eve complains…

There I was, all alone at lunch time, just eating my tuna sandwich, staring at all the children enjoying their time playing varieties of different sports. Sometimes I would do anything just to be playing with them and not being the last one to be chosen on a team. Every time I had an opportunity to play alone in the court, everyone would be laughing at me if I miss a shot. Being the new girl at a new school was tougher than I thought. Days past and I knew no one, I thought things will change but…

room to our daughter’s room. After a few agonizing seconds I reached the door and slowly opened the door, and to my surprise there was nothing or anything there. I ran up to the crib to see if she was alright. I looked in to see two small blue eyes staring up at me. “Thank God” I sighed picking her up to comfort her. After she fell back asleep I put her back in the crib and headed back to my room.…

Each of his three act represents a different aspect of life staring with the simplicity of daily living through the struggles of love, marriage and then death.

Throughout this article, M.E. Thomas writes about being a self diagnosed sociopath who has never killed anyone but had serious thoughts about it. First, the article starts with an example Thomas experienced. To start off, she scaled a closed escalator which was blocked off then got affronted by the employee who had previously closed the escalator. As a result of getting scorned by the worker, Thomas followed closely behind the worker imagining the satisfaction she would receive by getting this…

The 24-hour social media challenge actually made me grow as a person. The 24-hour challenge opened my eyes to many things like there is more than life than your phone and that when you are using your phone you don’t socialize. So while I was doing the 24 challenge I kept myself busy so I wouldn’t have to use my phone. I even went to the gym with my mom and sister to keep myself distracted which that was a good two-hour workout. As a person that just uses your phone 24/7, you don’t realize what…

One big obstacle I had to over come was, when I discovered I had Frontal Lobe Epilepsy. I had my first seizure in my Junior year, October 18, 2013 on my best friends birthday, in the middle of my fathers AP United States History class. At the time we thought it was a one time thing and it was not going to happen again. That was until my Birthday party in July the following summer. We returned to the Neurologist to get another EEG and MRI. That is when we discovered that they were due to scar…
