Till We Have Faces

Have you ever loved someone who does absolutely nothing for you and makes your life much harder than it once was? Well, I do, and I think most parents would agree with me. Through all the screaming, crying, peeing, pooping, and sleepless nights I can still say with one hundred percent certainty that I still love my son. I don 't believe there is anything that he can do to make me stop loving him. The unconditional love between a parent and a child, I believe is sacred and almost primal in…

Well into the history of mankind, we see that there was a great power that a white man had many privileges over those of different race, religion, gender, and etc. A white male was most likely dealing with the laws being passed throughout the country and making decisions that gave them the upper hand in America. Most African Americans were targeted for being unable to vote and have the same rights as the whites when they spoke up about inequality they faced the whites did not clearly see the…

toddler’s years, I recall being pressured by my teachers to have a perfect handwriting that others would be able to understand. Penmanship and creating well-structures letters were the main purpose during my toddles years and early elementary school years. I remember doing a lot of writing to picture-perfect my handwriting. There were also small myths and tricks parents and teachers would encourage me to use. For instance, one trick that till this day I am not sure whether it worked or…

I was waiting tables at the diner, _Harlow’s Burgers._ It was almost time for my shift to end, only 15 more minutes till 10:00. When I went back to the kitchen, Martie pulled me aside and said, “Adley, Mr. Chattfield is waiting for you in his regular booth.” I didn’t understand why she called him “Mr. Chattfield” instead of Hert. He was a kind old man, with light blue eyes and thin grey hair. I walked into the diner and saw a stranger sitting in his booth. He was on his phone. I walked up to him…

as I walk to 7th grade building and running towards me and hugging my tight like we haven’t seen each other in like 2 years even though it’s only been 2 weeks. So I was just sitting around talking to my friends, then I stand up to say hi to other friends and that’s when i bumped into this girl with nice, wavy, light brown hair, long legs, and freckles all over her face. After the fact that I bumped into her we both apologized to each other and introduced ourselves. I told her my name was…

books. The faces the author draws on the character tells a story. I learned that comics are not easy to make. There is so many different steps and details you need to focus on. After reading the book “Making Comics” by Scott McCloud it open eye about how I feel about comics. In the book what stood out the most the me is on page 85. On page 85 it talks about mixing two face emotion into one face emotion. I found that really cool that you can come up with mixing two faces that…

not be considered 'contemporary' they still alert the reader to social problems that are still relevant in today’s modern world. In 'The Yellow Wallpaper' (Charlotte Perkins Gilman) Jane faces the social problem of what it feels like to not meet her society’s expectations of femininity. In “A Great Day” Fred faces the social problem of what it feels like, again to not meet the expectations of masculinity in his society. 'The Yellow Wallpaper' was written in the late 19th century by Charlotte…

No, child. That darky’s wife. Tom’s wife. Tom-’ ‘Robinson, Ma'am’” (264). Grouping everyone with dark skin up and stereotyping them as terrible people is what this gossip is doing, isolating people who have nothing to do with what happened and trying to say ‘they’ are all terrible people. Even in their own family Scout’s father was put into a separate category and shamed, “‘If Uncle Atticus lets you run around with stray dogs, that’s his business, like…

Decorum Est is the superior poem. For example, Owen's ability to implement skillful analogies far exceeds that of McCrae. While McCrae's infamous lines “To you from failing hands we throw / The torch” (McCrae 11-12) exemplifies successful analogy, Owen's lines “and watch the white eyes writing in his face, / Hig hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin” (Owen 19-20) are more effective in creating a mental image for the reader. This significant because one of the main goals…
