Till We Have Faces

My mind was going haywire as the clock ticked down. My first year of Ice hockey had been great so far, till this moment. The score, 8-0. Time still ticking down, sweat still dripping. My face is soaking.My Jersey all wet. But in my mind I knew. I knew I could get this shutout. 38 shots later, I still didn’t let in a goal. 10 seconds left, one last break-a-way and I could have this shutout. He faked to one side and then went to the other side, he faked me out pretty good, but I stuck my stick…

the official religion of the Roman Empire. Luther took on some of the Catholic Church’s doctrine, practices and created the great rift that still exists between the Christian populations of the world today. Luther’s writings sparked Protestantism as we know it today and this led to the eventual creation of the Anglican Church in England as well as the Calvinist tradition in the Swiss Cantons. Luther’s writings got him Ex-communicated in 1521, (this will be the starting point for the 30 years of…

Deluge, Sacrifice of Noah, The fall and Expulsion from Garden of Eden, Creation of Even, Creation of Adam, Separation of the Earth from the Waters, Creation of he Sun,Moon, and Plants, and Separation of Light from Darkness(Pfeiffer, 2007). Although I have not had the opportunity to see these extraordinary depicted scenes, I can still appreciate how beautiful the artwork is based on pictures. When observing pictures it’s astonishing to see that not one piece of the building was made without an…

I have attained vengeance over my enemy. I stride with accomplishment as I walk into my next adventure. “Fortunato may you lie in peace for the next millennium” I whispered gleefully to myself while leaving the catacombs. Once I stepped out I ventured my eyes on the most charming and ravishing woman I ever laid eyes on. Her beauty struck me where I stood. I went to her got on one knee and kissed her soft little palms. I looked into her two beautiful blue illusions. She smiled a smile that could…

excitement for the other team. At that point I knew we had probably lost, with my emotions everywhere. I never stopped giving it my all till the end. When the buzzer screeched ending the games, the disappointment in my team’s eyes could be seen by anyone. Camera flashes were everywhere trying to capture the winning imagine of the other team. Helmet and gloves were tossed everywhere from the other team as they began to jump on top of the goalie. All we could do was watch with strong emotions. It…

to witness the birth of technology and it becoming widespread and used as a daily part of life. This made me realize that the problems we face today are minimal compared to what went on 100 years ago. There's plans nets backdrops in case people lose their jobs or if there is a famine they can get help from the government. Everything is provided for us we just have to go out and get it. I feel that some things in life can be to easy compared to how back then you had to truly sacrifice things and…

used to catch fish. The Plesiosaurus, which actually not a dinosaur but a sauropterygian (aquatic reptile), was one of the largest animals that lived up till the cretaceous period. Growing up to about 23 meters (about 75 feet) the plesiosaurus ate mostly squid like creatures with giant mollusks, and with it enormous size it probably didn’t have to defend itself to much but if it needed to it would’ve used its strong jaws to attack. Finishing with one of my favorite aquatic animals the…

world. These terms of how we describe ourselves often defines us as the minority or majority and plays a major expectation of what is expected of us. In the book, The Shame of the Nation, Jonathan Kozol, a schoolteacher takes a job in Boston to teach. In his encounter, he notices that majority of the segregated schools are in run-down conditions and many kids have just given up on education and gone rebellious against society. He notes that, “Some of the kids seemed to have accepted these…

For a long time, men have always hold their power against women and over shadowed them. Women are forced to depend on men for everything. Luckily, since the 70's, Woman's right have significantly improved, but there still seems to be a main issue which is gender inequality. Since 1909, International Women's day has been celebrated historically all across the world on March 8 every year to appreciate women's achievement's and gives them the opportunity to express their freedom. Feminism is a…

I stared straight ahead at a girl with dark brown eyes too big for her face, with sallow skin and a busted lip. I was unrecognizable, even to myself. My eyes continued rooming down the length of the mirror, lingering upon my reflection. I looked like the lost, rag doll you keep in your attic, after realizing she's no longer full of life. My depression had altered me, for the worse. I knew I needed help, but I was too afraid to ask for it. I lived in an illusion, choosing not to acknowledge the…
