Titania’s passion for Bottom symbolizes the base and vile qualities transforming into form and dignity. The negative aspects and behaviors of…

The dungeon floor begins to shake as you hear a menacing roar from beyond the large metal doors. What could this possibly be? You and your party draw their weapons and ready your spells as a colossal Minotaur tears through the doors like tissue paper and locks onto you. It begins to charge, what do you do? When I was twelve years old I spent the night at my best friend’s house, as I often did on weekends, and was introduced to a game known as “Dungeons and Dragons” by my friend’s older brother.…

On the outside of the Priest’s coffin are gilded depictions of mummified gatekeepers and inlaid spells from the book of the dead. Included on the lid of the coffin are a pair of “Wedjat” eyes, which act as a way for the spirit to look up and out into the world. These eyes act as another barrier between the viewer and the true face of the…

In chapter twelve, Walt and Eric make it to God’s lake are about to push off. When Ralph and the Indians did not wait for them, I would feel helpless again because they have to find their way by themselves.

For this essay I chose the theme supernatural. Have you ever wanted to be a powerful magician? Here's quote I found from one of Shakespeare's sonnets, "They that have power to hurt and will do none...rightly do inherit heaven's grace's" (Shakespeare, Sonnet 94). Shakespeare's The Tempest shows us that therein us lies magic and can be used to control relationships, environmental elements, and even cause chaos, but also shows that all magic comes with a cost.

didn’t know how to spell threw, it didn’t help that I was already emotional. Mrs. Pumpill then came up to my crying self and asked if I was alright. I then said “no”, and she replied with “Well, I understand that you aren’t right now, but you are going to be fine later”.
