Twisted pair

the truth of his wife’s scandal and would waste no time bringing it to justice. Such a man as old Chillingworth would not use a justice so simple and shared as a public punishment, no matter how harsh. Nay, he would plot his own more personal and twisted revenge, conceived from his own adultery with the devil. A plan too horrible for anyone to remember, which explains why it is only known from its reappearance in this text. Young Mr. Dimmesdale, completely unawares and unsuspicious, continues…

Ode to ‘I’ My realization of the complexity of my confidence is as simple as the infinite numbers of actions and processes that take place in a person’s body when he lifts his leg to move from one step of a staircase to the next. Moving up an extra step may even take twice the effort. The issue that then arises is that infinity doubled is still infinity, leading me right back to where I began. Then how, may I ask, am I to skip not just a single step of a stair case but the step of an entire…

forest to neutralize the mardocs. Once Jewel releases her power, she’ll be fine. The only risk is if she faints before we can deal with the mardocs she is holding back.” They stepped up on the birch platform, and strode over to the piled luggage. A pair of solid white eyes peered over one of the piles. A mardoc waved its exceptionally long hands at them and said in a raspy voice, “Danger. Flee. Killers. Run.” “Shaman?” Ti said and then spoke to it in the mardoc language. The shaman mardoc jolted…

popularity of Marc Chagall. Once you understand some of the details of the history of this work and its creator, that might not sound like such a grand assumption to claim. At first, you are struck by a percussion of color when you see the work. Then, the twisted shapes that are molded together reveal that you are observing a scene with two main figures. The eye travels up on the canvas and you realize that…

The passage begins with a quote from Ambrose Bierce, stating, “To men a man is but a mind. Who cares what face he carries or what he wears? But a woman’s body is the woman.”(Bierce). This quote reflects the misogynistic views that psychology was not immune to. Even one of the most popular psychologists, Sigmund Freud, believed in the theory of “anatomy is destiny”, or that our physical bodies influence our motivations and personal development and suit our gender roles (i.e. women can be mothers…

Through the history, there have been great characters that have been admired for their achievements, their actions, their bravery, or simply by their experiences. Men and women of the past have been involved in the development of art in all its sources of expression. Authors and poets, painters and sculptors have turned their inspiration in them. One of the most admired figures was David, biblical character, courageous pastor who with just a sling drove a stone in the head of the feared giant…

In a world plagued by inequality, warfare, and poverty, violence can sometimes seem to be random and meaningless. It appears to disregard the natural laws of cause and effect and instead leave a legacy of confusing destruction. While this may or may not be true of violence in real life, it is absolutely false in literature. Violence, in a work of literature, must be seen through a critical lense. It is more than just the action; it is the motivation, the consequences, and the author’s intended…

is used extensively in jazz. There is also chamber and symphonic music written for sax, though it is less common. Brass instruments are essentially very long pipes that widen at their ends into a bell-like shape. The pipes have been curved and twisted into different shapes to make them easier to hold and play. Instruments in the brass family produce their sound when the player “buzzes” her or his lips while blowing air through the mouthpiece, kind of like making a “raspberry,” creating a…

getting cold, he wrapped a towel around me as soon as I stepped out of the tub. He dried me off with the towel and kissed my forehead. He handed me a pair of boxers and I put them on before he led me to the bedroom. He laid me down on the bed again and slipped a t-shirt on me, followed by my favourite sweater, that smelled like him. He gave me a pair of pyjama shorts and I put them on as he started to slip some socks on my…

He would take his victim's home get them and he himself drunk then he would grab a tie or in poor “Kenneth Ockendon” luck an electrical cord connected to a pair of headphones and he would strangle them, and the ones that didn't die right away from the strangulation, he would drown till there was no longer any movement whatsoever. In most of the murders Dennis would put the bodies under the floorboards later…
