Tristan

Zzzzzzzz zzz zzzzzzzz zzz… Leah sluggishly woke up from her slumber to the sound of her phone vibrating against her wooden side table. Still bleary eyed, she picked up the phone. There was some muffled voices that she could not distinguish. "Hello?" Leah mumbled The voices stopped, and all that could be heard was heavy breathing. In her dazed and confused state she asked, “Who is this?” No reply. The familiarity of the situation hits Leah, as she starts to come to her senses and sees the dull…

The dense crowd of a thousand consisted of older veterans proudly wearing their decorated hats, parents attending to their children’s needs, and teenagers chattering around the stage waiting for Tristan McIntosh and her band to play. Just after eight o’clock the announcer introduced the performers; Tristan who was wearing metallic leggings and a patriotic top took confident strides across the stage and the concert was on its way. She performed…

Eleanor of Aquitaine brought French influences to English court and more specifically the Arthurian Legend, that transformed it into the epic story of romance and spirituality we know today as evident throughout the stories of Guenevere and Lancelot, Tristan, and the Holy Grail. Eleanor of Aquitaine was one of the main driving forces in the development of the Arthurian legend. This came from her patronage during her time at King Henry’s court. She changed the…

acknowledges his achievements. He removes himself from his family in order to make something of his life, in order to become successful and show others that he is more than just one of the Ludlow brothers. Alfred has lived in the shadow of his brother Tristan since they were kids, so this essentially fuels his drive to aspire to be something more. Another example of self-competence is shown through the character Susannah, who was meant to marry the youngest Ludlow brother Samuel. Even though she…

Dominic and Tristan start running for Tristan's house since his is closest. As we are running we see the cacti eating cars in the street causing chaos. Me, Dominic and Tristan finally get to Tristan's house and his brothers are not home when they should be. Dominic said "hey shouldn’t we get Tristan's brothers from school." Me and Tristan "nah." so we just got in his truck (really its his dads truck but he drives it up and down his dirt road for the bus). We hop in the truck Tristan…

“Hey that’s so gay” or “you’re a fag”, is something you hear at a high school almost every day. Growing up in the North Carolina, homosexuality was sort of frond upon. Hearing people make gay jokes and look down on them everyday sort of imprinted “being gay is bad” into your head. Geryon, a gay, red monster living with normal people, goes through the struggle of a typical homosexual, acceptance. He goes through the ups and downs and struggles with his family, friends and community. Many…

The queen, even though she was wearing a dress, she was quick to dodge all of my attacks. It became increasingly difficult to get a hit on her. Her weapon was unlike one I had ever seen before. Well, heard of before, I haven't seen many weapons until now. The queen's weapon was made out of pure magic, it couldn't be seen by the regular human's eyes. I could see her weapon because I am not fully human. It was a pair of nunchucks with a five-inch blade at each end. Sometimes the weapon would…

third chair (first chair being the best, and so on), while Tristan remained in the very last chair, 9th. Both Tristan and I have seen so much improvement, but it came time for the roles to reverse. In January, Tristan asked me for a favour and I readily agreed to it. He had asked me to teach him cello. It was a moment I will never forget, because I had surpassed my teacher and become the teacher. I was reminded of how grateful I was when Tristan taught me, and there was no way I could say no.…

began to cry and pinch myself harder and harder until my skin turned red and was bruised. My test was soaked from the tears that came down my face and I looked up and Mrs. Sara stood there staring at me and began to cry. Mrs. Sara said, " Come on Tristan lets call your mom and have a talk with her." We walked down the hallway and entered the office. Mrs. Sara called my mom and discussed with her the situation that happened. I sat down in the chair in the office and began to snap my fingers…

romantic. Scientists, philosophers, authors, and even college students have tried to get to the core of what love is, how it is experienced, and whether it is biologically present or able to fluctuate or change. Through Plato’s Symposium, The Romance of Tristan and Isolt, Helen Fisher’s novel Why We Love, and various other publications, I believe that the feelings invoked by love have remained constant, but the means to which they are brought out have changed as time progresses. Love is an…
