The Watchtower

would create huge clouds behind me, the boulder would grow taller and taller until I couldn’t see the top of them anymore. When I got inside the amphitheater the first thing I noticed was I was inside the giant rocks. They surrounded me like huge watchtowers always in my sight anywhere I went. When I gazed upon the seats they had stadium style seating cut out from the red rock itself. I got as close to the stage as I could. When I sat down the rock felt cool to the touch like it’s been in the…

Focusing on Akasha leads to dwelling on the other elements. These elements are earth, air, fire, water. Again, this will help in my workings. I have not actually ever cast a circle, but I believe that calling in Akasha could be part of calling in the Watchtowers. As mentioned previously, Akasha could be combined with calling in the four elements. There exist people that call in the “direction of the center” after they call in the other 4 elements as discussed by Greenbough and Jewell in the…

The Vietnam war was a tragic time in our world’s history. With over 47,000 casualties just in the U.S, many soldiers had a hard time facing the grim realities of war.

Dachau was the first concentration camp established by Nazi Germany in 1933. It was a labor camp designed to punish political prisoners and enemies of Adolf Hitler. Dachau was a model for how other concentration camps should operate under Nazi Germany. Through intense labor and strict regulations, prisoners were taught to obey authority. Dachau was created to enforce compliance with the Nazi regime. Unlike the death camps that focused on extermination, Dachau was a labor camp where the…

In every person there is a flaw of some sort, due to the fact that no one is perfect. All humans have at least one flaw in their life that they struggle with. In the play Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, the young prince possesses a flaw of his own. He struggled with this flaw that led him to a tragedy in his life.

A lack of acceptance lead to the islanders building a wall to keep everyone else out. The Villagers that lived on the island came up with excuses on why not to accept the Stranger.…

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, Panopticism by Michel Foucault and “Goblin Market” by Christina Rossetti. In The Handmaid’s Tale it was the constant fear of being watched by the Eye and the masters, being viewed by a person standing in a watchtower from Panopticism, or even…

Then there's the tether, a grappling hook modification that attaches 2 separate objects, and through tension, can pull them together with hilarious results. I like to reel in enemies toward explosive barrels, collapse watchtowers, and pull attack helicopters into a fiery demise. The game's aim at creativity often allowed guns to be my last resort. Like all of “Just Cause 3”’s best moments, the tether encourages experimentation rather than random trial and error outcomes…

Persecuted in England for their radical beliefs, they travelled to Denmark and Sweden before finally embarking on a ship to North America where they had the promise of freedom to practice. The Puritan communities in New England resolved to create an ideal Christian colony as outlined by John Winthrop’s A Model of Christian Charity by centering their…
