West Side Story

simply put it, I was just a student eager to learn the mathematical discipline. I entered the O.Henry middle school classroom as sound introduced itself as a symphony of chatter and shuffling. I began to sit by the young male, his skin on the other side of the spectrum. He aggressively sighed. “I don’t sit by your kind” he scoffed. My mind ran at an accelerated pace as I rummaged in my deepest thoughts to find an explanation. There was no explanation or excuse I could formulate to change the…

Relationships are great bond which can form a person’s perception on their past, present, or future. This something that S.E. Hinton touched upon in her book The Outsiders. As well as touching upon it, she also elaborated to a different topic in that range, such as the fragileness of a relationship between the characters in The Outsiders.This showed a realization that it may seem the relationships in The Outsiders are quick and easy to make because they bond over being greasers, but it is very…

We hold many values in our lives today, but by far friendship remains the most significant. A good friendship includes honesty, loyalty, sincerity and most importantly trusting each other. Trusting each other in a friendship remains crucial because it shows reliability and confidence between two people. This helps friends become closer and feel more safe. In the play Romeo and Juliet and the book Digital Fortress, the significant relationship of friendship exists through trust. Within the…

In retrospect, what may have drawn the creature’s attention, was in the way I walked. Familiar to every eight-year-old prepubescent, was the act of not bothering to lift your leg one after the other. An often reprimanded undertaking, that created a great deal of sound, when hard plastic greeted with worn and cracked concreate. The sky had greyed, and it had an annoying indecisive attitude as to whether it wanted to rain or not. It was halfway down a “shortcut,” an alley that separated the…

I tried to get up, but it hurt too much to move. There was a small light on the other side of the room that I crawled to. From that light, I could see all the bruises and cuts I had encountered over my entire body. The door slowly opened and I was terrified. Whoever it was, grabbed me by the arm and dragged me into another room. Everything…

The stillness of the air seemed to suck even the sound of my footfalls into the nothingness of a graveyard. Even the trees seemed not to rustle as if they were tense with nerves for what was to come. I could describe it as creepy, but eerie was closer to it. Everything was the same yet different. The fall trees stood naked as they had before, but their twigs curled in a distorted way, as if the tree itself screamed in pain. The sky was a mass of grey cloud, again so ordinary for October, but…

Soon, the colder weather will be upon us - colder by Florida standards, anyway - and one of these nights, you will reach for the thermostat to turn the lever from “Cool” to “Heat.” When you do turn on that heater, be ready for dry eye syndrome. Yes, the winter months are the worst months for dry eye syndrome because when that heater turns on, the eyes are going to start to feel drier. When you do, go see Dr. Mandese for a Dry Eye Evaluation. Exactly what is dry eye, anyway? Well, dry eye is…

Figuring on both sides of the stone forest can see many waterfalls and vegetation connoting that this is not a human world but a paradise, which accounts for the environment and the story background of this poster. The poster is centered by Sun Wukong, while the orientation of the dragon sight and the lower right corner of the building both focus toward…
