but I had one problem. I didn’t know how to parallel park. Emotions of devastation, nervousness, anxiety, and fear. A confusion of mixed emotions running through my body that it was hard to explain. The fear of parallel parking had in no circumstance struck my mind when I was in driving school the summer back. In my mind, such material was as easy to me and the image of doubt had not once crossed my mind. The Fall of 2015, my mother took her parallel parking portion of her driver’s test, when it…

process. However, there are much deeper messages to be found in the movie. The events in Avatar between the humans and Na’vi closely align to the motives, actions, and outcomes that occurred during historical imperialism. One of the most noticeable parallels between the motion picture and historical imperialism is the invaders’ motives for colonizing the land. Both the British and the humans in Avatar had similar intentions; the desire for natural resources and cultural superiority. Great…

In the Bible, the stories of Exodus and Esther stand out due to the implicit parallels between the characters of Moses and Esther. Both Moses and Esther were born Jews and forced to assimilate into other cultures, both were thrust into positions of significant power over a population of people drastically different from themselves (Egyptian and Persian, respectively), and both were charged with the heavy task of freeing their people -- the Israelites / Jews -- from certain oppression and…

I never expected that I'd get summoned to a parallel world. But saying that is stupid, don't you think? Who in their right mind could ever expect something like that? Don't get me wrong, I definitely thought about it. I'd read so many stories about worlds with level systems and heroes with incredible talent summoned to vast, incredible fantasy settings.
