The Rascals

I run at top speed continuing to take shelter behind objects as I run. The feeling of adventure runs through my veins as I begin to sprint. I hear the loud heavy sound of my breath along with the annoying *Clack, clack, clack* of my heels, which wasn’t helping my situation. I guess the association didn’t think twice about the costume because I continue to trip over my dress. The cruise ship is steady as a rock and the water was as calm as the starry night above me. The criminals I’ve been…

KABOOM! RATATATAT! P-SHEW! AHHHHHH! Sounds of war filled the crumbling ruins of Syria, with the constant bangs of guns mercilessly overpowering the heart- shattering cries for help. A thick layer of blood permeated the atmosphere, contaminating the fresh air with its nauseating, metallic taste. Littering the red- stained earth, rows upon rows of mangled corpses rotted to their very core. Desperately, lost children foraged around for their mothers, but only to be shot through with a size 9 mm…

Tasmanian Devils are carnivorous marsupials that have marveled mankind with its intense strength for its small size. This one foot tall mammal is probably one of the toughest in the world. These nocturnal animals live primarily in Tasmania and Australia. These snarling creatures have a life span average of about five years. In those five years the Tasmanian Devil accomplishes all nine processes of life. As endangerment is concerned, these creatures need lots of love and help from the mankind as…

emo-alternative, metal, pop-rap, pop, and country-pop. Music has been my go-to for stress relief nearly all my life and has shown me insights about myself that I would have not known otherwise. Another song that I hold dear is “Bless The Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts. It relates to me in ways that cannot be spoken by words because I have experienced a lot of “holes on the road” and let-downs. I have other ways of coping with stress, such as…

reaction, an aggressive outburst. Lastly, Hamlet has the symptom of overwhelming shame. He constantly feels like he is at odds with himself and that he has let down his father as seen at the end of act two scene two. “Yet I, a dull and muddy-mettled rascal peak like John-a-dreams, unpregnant of my cause, and can say nothing… Am I a coward?” (Act II Scene II lines…

Sixteen weeks filled with endless hours of practice, learning choreography, learning formations and perfecting transitions. Dozens of individual dancers moving in unison as a unit, a family, showcasing our legacy. Twenty years worth of sweat, sacrifice, and vulnerability will be displayed on stage tonight. This was not my first performance or concert, but none were this monumental. The twentieth anniversary of Hypersquad. As the sun begins to set the sky ablaze in shades of red, orange, and…

the two kidnappers, Sam and Bill, had taken a little boy for some money. Sam and Bill had taken a little boy from Ebenezer Dorset, who was a “prominent citizen” and a respectable father. The kidnappers had it in for them though, the kid was a little rascal who didn't like to listen and believed he was an actual indian who need to cut off Bills scalp. In the end, they eventually gave the little boy back but they paid a ransom of two-hundred and fifty dollars. The author, O. Henry, portrays the…

1. Best of 2015 Medley- Anthem Lights This piece first stood out to me because it was a mash up of many great songs that I have listened to this past year. The songs all range in their original sounds, but when mashed together the same singers sing the song. This piece really spoke to me through the idea of it being a mixture of so many great songs and it was still a great piece. This piece has influence to the world to me because it shows that artist can recreate someone else’s song and make it…

The women who influenced the French Revolution ultimately defined feminism and defied the patriarchal society that surrounded them. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, feminism is “the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes” and “organized activity on behalf of women 's rights and interests” (“Feminism”). Men of the French Revolution, however, disagreed with the sentiments of the feminist; Jean Jacques Rousseau wrote, “A woman that is an aesthete, is a…

Jonathan Swift, a satirist and author who is best known for Gulliver’s Travels, once said: “I never wonder to see men wicked, but I often wonder to see them not ashamed.” Corrupt and dishonest people exist everywhere in the world, and as people have evolved as a culture, the lack of modest human dignity and shame has also increased and taken a form of its own. Denial and justification of blatant acts of violence and racism are forms of such social systems and behaviors that have come to be. In…
