Letter to the Editor In Hooked on a Myth, Victoria Braithwaite states that “fish suffer.” I have a pet fish of my own who swims contently in its own little bowl. I never harmed the little fish because I believe that all living organisms feel pain. It is true that fish do not holler out when pricked like dogs and cats; however, they do make an attempt to avoid danger by escaping it. When a boy runs through a pond, the fish in that pond bolt away from that boy to avoid danger. Therefore, it is…

My wrists crack and my legs smash onto the wooden boards.…

don’t try. If someone tells you that you’re a winner, then you automatically just are. Winning is never giving up even after you have lost. It was the most basic of mornings that I woke up to. The sun was not yet shining its warmth on my little world, however I still dragged myself out of my warm consuming bed, leaving it and my dream Mister Sandman had given me, behind. I swung on my Gator shirt and black shorts without even having to think, still mentally dragging myself out of sleep. The…

don’t try. If someone tells you that you’re a winner, then you automatically just are. Winning is never giving up even after you have lost. It was the most basic of mornings that I woke up to. The sun was not yet shining its warmth on my pint-sized world, however I still dragged myself out of my warm consuming bed, leaving it and my dream Mister Sandman had given me, behind. I swung on my Gator shirt and jet black shorts without even having to think, still mentally dragging myself away from…

same question kept popping up in my head over and over again,”why does this matter?, Why should I care what is happening on screen?”. As I continued to play, an idea struck me, what if I was seeing the characters, events, and lives of an alternate world? What if every death in a game was a real death somewhere. What if my choices mattered? As it turns out, many scientists have wondered the same events, except on the grander scale of life itself. Their findings and research are all culminated…

Who I would like to thank and why? Times are getting hard nowadays, as far as finances, taxes, gas, job opportunities, and the economy in general. People are still poor without any type of assistance. There are also many killings in this world, even for the smallest things. The help and love that we were once taught to understand has turned into malice mixed with pure hatred.
