EV-516 woke up right on time, the way she always did, at least, the way she always did since the operation. Her eye scanners flickered bright colors back and forth, sending information to her eyes and into her brain. She stood, dressed, and walked out of the boarding house rhythmically, in the same pattern she did everything. Every move that EV made was to the beat of the ticking sound that transmitted to every aspect of her being. It was constant, not even ceasing when she slept. The…

My journey here has been extremely tough, frankly I don’t really know how I survived it all. Thankfully, the gods found some mercy in their hearts to let me live. I was met again with death, but that will not stop me; I am forever determined to make my way back to my home, Ithaca. Once I found my way to land, my dream that once felt so far away wasn’t anymore. I knew that if I was able to survive my first night there without anybody or anything finding me, I would have a good chance. So I…

Man’s final and complete happiness consists of actualizing his potential. The potential consists in the contemplation of the divine essence. Thus, happiness and the divine essence are in turn identical and inseparable. Although, contemplating the divine essence is withheld from us until we are in the world to come. As long as man desires and seeks something, he remains unhappy. This is because the intellect seeks the essence of a thing. For example, knowing an effect, like a solar eclipse, the…

Domenica Suri ADV3500 Sunday 19, 2017 Assignment 4 According to the class, observation is known to be a systematic data collection approach during which researchers use all of their senses to examine people in their natural setting or natural occurring situation (McDonald, 2017, pp.1). When I started this observation, I didn't know what I was looking for, so I just did the question “What is going on here?” Doing this question, it opens the possibility of a lot of things. First, this is such a…

Sunday of August, I packed away the last box of my possessions. Everything I held dear to in the world was packed into the trunk of my mom’s car in cigarette boxes from my sister’s work. It somehow felt wrong that 18 years’ worth of memories and collections and life were so easy to gather up and ship off. Yet this transition somehow felt oddly fitting. It’s comforting to know that picking up and starting over can be so easy. A new life, a new chance at becoming exactly who you want to be. And…

Mommy help!” our little boy exclaimed. I tried to calm the other children, but soon the other creatures here started coming into my house and taking my children. Now I have had enough. My family and I formed a single file line. I was first and my kids were behind my wife and I. This way they would take us and not them. As soon as we were ready giant clammy limbs took me away. My family screamed in horror, I wiggled and squirmed trying to get away. With my last…

the people we really love. In the rest of the poem this contradiction is explored further. She compares the uncertainty and doubt implied by this shyness with a familiar face, which cannot visualize. It is not possible to remember or describe every single detail of such a…

June 18, 2015. It was a breezy Saturday afternoon and everything seemed normal. I looked out my window on the fifth story of our hotel. I saw the birds flying in the air. My family and I were on vacation in Miami, Florida. It was such an amazing resort! All of the sightseeing we had done was incredible, and we even went snorkeling a couple of days ago! Seeing all of the fish and other aquatic life was so amazing. “Jessica, we are going to be late!” my mom yelled. It took me by surprise and…
