The Second Coming

Billion (yes that is billion with a "B", we Star Wars fans have spent that much to keep the franchise alive even without feature films coming our way) on novels, technical manuals,…

most inaccurate myths. I learned that lemmings don’t throw themselves off cliffs, before even knowing that notion even existed. During second grade my knowledge got to shine, as we learned and did presentations, about rainforests and rainforest animals. I did my presentation on the King Cobra and made a scale model snake out of foam pipe. I named it Arthur. During Second grade, I also wrote a paper on camouflage in the natural world. This was done in creative writing, and took most of the year…

“I don't understand,” she said. “He has no mother. He has no skates.” Those words are constantly repeating in my mind trying to make sense of it, then the first question popped up in the middle of my confused situation, “why?” I asked myself. I bid goodbye to the woman in the orphanage when I heard that information and there outside the orphanage was Jerry sitting on a bench shoulders hunched down and head hung low. I see his hair again, the color of a corn shock standing out on the orange sun…

Overall being on the show pushed him into coming out about it him being transgender and to follow through with what he started back in the 1970’s. To Bruce Jenner, he wasn’t comfortable with who he was and the body he was in. He was jealous of other men feeling comfortable in their own skin,…

mistakes and face many consequences before he or she becomes an adult. “To Sir John Lade, on His Coming of Age”, by Samuel Johnson and “When I Was One-and-Twenty”, by A.E. Housman are both poems about a twenty one year old coming of age. Johnson describes the coming of age by using a twenty year old man who has faced himself in a money situation and how he handles it, whereas Housman describes the coming of age by using a twenty-two year old man reflecting his past year as a twenty-one year old…

I say wave I mean high, rough, crazy waves. My sister Sydney and I sat in the tube and weren’t expect anything; then all the sudden the lifeguard was playing around with us and put us in the way of building where the waves come out. The waves kept coming out full force. I went so high and would get higher, then when that one gigantic wave came I was finished, I wiped out. Drowning and choking with water, laughing all together still being taken out by waves I realized that I wasn't in my tube…

is Jack Zimmermann, who - by the end of the second year - is in a secret relationship with Bitty. As a result of keeping their relationship hidden, others have suspected Jack of being with someone, except he’s only been accused of having a girlfriend (heteronormative, much?). In #3.05 (“The After…

The second performance for this semester was called A Man of No Importance, from the book written by Terrence McNally, with music by Stephen Flaherty and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens. The story follows the journey of Alfie Byrne, and his theatre group at St. Imelda’s, as he figures out who he is in Dublin, Ireland in 1964. Given the setting of the play being in very Catholic Dublin, Ireland, especially in 1964 the lives of the characters are impacted in many different ways. The hold that the rules of…

Carrying her to the couch, her unconsciously snaking her arms around his neck, that had been easy. This would be hard. The red-rims of her eyes told him that. "But you-" Her voice came out croaky and hollowed out, and she pulled back from him for a second to just look at him. "BBD and I were able to work something out." It 's vague and it 's very Dolls, but he pulls her back into his chest, hands settling on her…

Evolution of Problem These days’ teens are coming out as LGBT in their early teens, as early as thirteen years of age. 1.6 million youth are homeless each year with 40% of them identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. These numbers are disproportionally high because 7% of the youth population in the United States is LGBT (“True Colors,” 2016). Each year $4.2 billion is spent on homeless assistance programs with less than 5% of this funding, $195 million, allocated for homeless…
