The Complete Peanuts

Moments The lovely warm sun provides a comfortable essence on my pale skin and beams on my white-blond hair. I glance around at the typical atmosphere of my school at lunchtime; children bustling about scurrying past me, and balls flying in the air. I have only been at this school for a few weeks and now I’m already used to the chaos during this time of day. I inspect my surroundings and recognize some of my fellow fourth grade students in different pods at the lunch table, reading books in the…

remembered him, tight lipped with his hands folded on his stomach, the only thing missing was Rush Hour playing in the background. But this is not what other people had to say about him. My grandfather was shell of his former self. Like an empty peanut, my grandfather’s whole being was missing; my mom’s father was different.

Right when I was getting comfortable in my seat, I hear a loud "thud", the airplane is slowing down and I am terrified. If only Teddy was holding my hand, I would not be feeling so lonely. The flight attendants direction us to exist in a single formed…

Dorian is quickly won over by Lord Henry's argument that everyone must face the horrible fact of aging, and he takes the implications of the inevitability of aging grimly. Following this realization, Dorian comments on his self-portrait “Why should it keep what [he] must [lose]” (26)? This is particularly poignant because it illustrates the transition that comes with age, one whereby the individual loses their purity. Youth, for Wilde and for Dorian, is where we maintain the sense of purity.…

egg with a slice of burnt toast and a bruised banana as well as a sheet in which I would choose my meals for the remainder of the day. All the options were the typical cliche cafeteria food, from mac and cheese, which I found out wasn’t half bad, to peanut butter and…
