The Day the Earth Stopped

Settled down by my cousins, enjoying the cool Kansas breeze, laughing, joking, and relaxing. Mom’s outside with Aunt Grace talking about God knows what while the kids were laughing in the living room. I remember talking to my cousin Ronald about what we should do outside to either ride our bikes, walk around the neighborhood, play tag, just do something active since we were young with enthusiasm and optimism about what else is out there in life for children to do in their spare time. Something…

that causes us to be held back from our full potentials or something that we desire to fulfill. Matilda endures this struggle, which can be shown by her exclaiming, "From the prison's courtyard it rose, a yellow silk bubble escaping the earth. I vow to do that one day, slip free of the ropes that held me." She gives off a strong message of feeling trapped and not able to make her own choices while looking at Blanchard's balloon flight. By saying this, she means something much deeper than a piece…

since he got sick we were everywhere. Most days in New York were exceptional! The sun gleamed for 12 hours of the long complicated working days down on the city below. The towering trees reached up to the stars and waved down to the children who played in the forest, who stood on rocks and were the kings (or queens) of the world. These days were the finest days a child my day could ask for, when you forget everything and just act like yourself again. Days…

1970’s Culture and Values What if we lived in a world without Star Wars? Happy Days? Equal Rights? The 70’s were responsible for the atmosphere that these productions created. Americans in the 1970’s focused on the newest pop culture, pushes for equality, and fresh new beliefs that changed their views on feminism and black culture. Between baseball, music, movies, and slang, Americans in the 1970’s had many choices on how to spend their free time. A new Sci-fi universe opened with the release…

had been 2 weeks since Spike had rescued the mere-pony, and in that whole time had been spent walking home, so it`s understandable that when Spike made it to his cottage in Dimond Cove he hung up his black cloak, went to his bed and slept for 2 solid days. Spike`s cottage was medium sized and had 2 floors, the first floor had a rocking chair and a small lap with some book`s incase Spike got board, it also had a small kitchen with a fringe filled half with booze and half with Gems, with a few…

grown up with these games and the adventures that Link and Zelda get themselves into. This series means an immense amount to a lot of people and honestly, I feel that The Legend of Zelda series means more to me than it does to anybody else on this Earth. When I was in my mothers womb she would lay on the couch and watch my father play Zelda 1 and Zelda 2 on the Nintendo Entertainment System. My father would play Zelda 2 with my brother all the time and he taught him all the secrets of that…

different is something that should be strived for. There is a great quote by William W. Purkey that reads “You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching. Love like you’ll never be hurt. Sing like nobody’s listening. And live like it’s heaven on earth.” This meaning of this quote is to live life to its fullest and to express yourself without the constant fear of judgement from others. In the past, the common belief was that being gay is a sin to humanity. Being gay can…

spreading like wildfire about two people. (Y/N) and Death the Kid. These two were always together, barely anyone has seen them without the other. Well, technically Kid is following (Y/N), because he quote that she is 'The Most Symmetrical Person on Earth.' Right now these rumors are annoying Kid to no end.

red cliff face to the Ammoudi beach for lunch. In the bay, colorful fishing boats tugged at their moorings as the sea breeze tossed the vessels to and fro. In the distance, the fishermen struggled with their nets as they brought in the catch of the day. On the patio of a fish tavern overlooking the bay, they dined alfresco at circular oak tables under the shade of giant white linen umbrellas. The delicious repast included fresh sea urchin, artichoke salad, and savory fish stew. They spent…
