While at the Carnegie museum I saw a couple of paintings that caught my eye and made me take a deeper look at them. The very first painting that did this was Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints Leonard, Jerome, John the Baptist, and Francis. This painting is by Nicolo di Maestro Antonio d’Ancona.

It didn’t make it any better that I was beyond tired. Dragging my feet as I walked, eyes barely open, I was a living zombie. The sun burnt into my eyes worse than a death stare from a hungry gray wolf, in some spots it was like a harsh winter evening, and sometimes if you moved ten feet you would start to sweat a waterfall and would have to move back to the shade. It wasn’t a good day for my service project. Especially with the fact that it was at the end of the week, and I had just gotten off a…

they no longer loved each other, how I should not think of this as any fault of my own, and how they would always love me no matter what happens to them. I knew they were lying though, and it wasn’t until I was ten that anyone could have convinced me that I couldn’t have saved their marriage. This is my first regret, I regret spending two years of my precious childhood hating myself for my parent’s decisions. This now leads me into my second, more peculiar, regret. After my parents split…

from truth”, Lauryn Hill uses this statement in her poem “Motives and Thoughts” to bring light to the bigger issues faced in the modern world. People today have forgot how to behave like a proper, educated, humble human being. The morals of today’s society have taken a seat; greed and self-motivation have taken their place.

The concept was first mentioned in the Bible, by Jesus himself when he addressed the people, and then by John Winthrop who used it in his famous sermon “A Model of Christian Charity” to the puritans aboard the Arbella on the way to America. In the text A model of Christian Charity, a “City upon a hill” is a relevant political standpoint. This…

These films have two different points of view such as in “Hills Like White Elephants” it is omniscient whereas in the beginning of the film the main character, Jig, is seen by the bartender running into the restroom to vomit due to her pregnancy. In “Barn Burning,” it has a third person limited point of view as everything is seen through Sartoris’ eyes and how he thinks and feels about the situations his father puts himself in. The directors also sets both films in two locations; a train station…

Eastern side of America. There was no chance of survival but thank god we made it alive. “ Excuse me!” “ Is she okay?” the little girl's voice asked. “Yes, I'm pretty sure. I mean she's still breathing,” a bold voice said. I slowly started opening my eyes. Straight ahead I saw grey and black clouds. I felt the heavy breeze move my hair in front of my face.
