RESEARCH STATEMENT The enigmatic sky which once used to sing silent lullabies at night, one day tempted my developing consciousness to explore the perplex puzzles hidden there. For days, I kept on thinking about the vast mysterious kingdom up in the sky- millions of light years away from us. Consequently, it expanded my curiosity in such a level that I could not stop myself from peeping into it deeply in order to have some hope to apprehend the factual scenario. It was a stupendous experience to

The book “The Five People You Meet in Heaven”, written by Mitch Albom was a story of a man named Eddie-a man who worked as a maintenance in a park, Ruby Pier.

Five people that made a great part in his early life.-even some of those five people was not mush familiar with him.

Gwendolyn scuffed her foot against the path as she walked and turned her head to watch the small dust cloud disperse behind her in the wind. Her gaze fell on the rocky, cold-hearted hills that the road had led her over just minutes before and the scattered and unhelpful wisps that were the only clouds in sight. She had a strong urge to groan or sigh. Or run away, despite her exhaustion. The breeze, which had fortunately been present since a few hours ago when the hike had begun, seemed to be the

He always understood everything and now, raising her muzzle to the sky, as if looking for support in the blue abyss of the sky, quietly reading his cat’s prayer to his cat’s God. This night they had no reason to hurry up and the world momentarily stopped and sat down next to them. According to the conception of Mary, they had to reach the station

Walking down the sidewalk until you glimpse the shining sun hit the white sand and crystal waters, the waves crashing down. The sun is slowly going down, the horizon is bright red with the reflection going across the entire ocean it seems. Sinking your feet into the warm sand, the feeling of relaxation rush throughout your body. The seagulls flying overhead feeling the water drop of their bright white feathers as they fly above. The closer you get to the water you realize it is clear as a crystal

Imagine the sight of an open blue sky, trees growing, and warm dry grass moving briskly by the air. And, in front of this scene, there is a wonderful endless pit, stained by blood and some partial limbs. The whole world has just decided to jump off a cliff, because why not escape the dark gripping fears that life holds? Society has darred and pushed each other off to this dark encasing hole. Sure it will hurt, but only for a little bit, right? Then it can all be over, done, and finished. But, common

“What a great day for a boat ride,” I thought to myself. It is a cozy warm, shorts and short sleeve shirt day at the time that people are arriving onto the big bulky catamaran. The sky is light blue with some dainty see-through clouds and a slight warm western breeze. I am located on one of the tropical islands of Hawaii, Kauai. The glossy white surface of the boat is blinding because of the reflection from the early evening sun. Teeth showing grins from children, parents, and grandparents appear

Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron is a short story published in 1961 that I would describe as having the theme of futuristic-science-fiction. The short is set in the year 2081 where in the United States new amendments to the constitution has equalized all humans. Although, the author does not mention how this dystopia came to be and if the rest of the world has equalized all human beings, it is clear to me that in this dystopia, equality is an illusion, equality is not real. As I read this short

I am drawn by Aristotle’s saying everyone is born with a clean slate. It’s only over the period influenced by factors of inborn genetic coding, environment and upbringing molds the person to be. The physiological stages of development in our life process are the same across, while it’s the psychological factor that makes a difference in a person’s development. I have had the opportunity of travelling to several countries and have met families from different race and culture. I am fascinated to observe

Tone: The tone of this poem seems to be a person who enjoyed listening to the sound of the calm sea at night. As he is standing by the window , he is seeing the tide getting fuller by the moment. The fact that he mentions the moon out at night makes the scenery even more beautiful. He says, listen ! hear the grating roar of pebbles( colorful rocks)which the waves draw back, and throw. The sound of the seas returns, up the high *strand, (*land at the edge of a body of water) ,After the crashing

The sun sets on the horizon, casting deep shadows over the landscape. On the top of the cliff a donkey pulls a wooden plough behind him, guided by a lone man in red surrounded by browns, blues, and greens. The cliff tapers off, falling gently to a beach by the water where a Shepard herds his sheep, pure white and full of wool, while they feast on the bright bushes. Crouched on the shoreline, a fisherman in white waits patiently for a catch. In Peter Brugel’s Landscape With The Fall Of Icarus

The Starfish Souls The lighthouse laid right on the beach. It was a rusty structure with chipped and faded paint. The spiral staircase had a world of cobwebs around it and a layer of dust covered everything. The evil wizard Zorag lived on the top floor. He was an old, grumpy and cold hearted man who loved nothing more than to make the lives of others miserable. The wrinkles on the crank’s face made it look as if it was melting. His eyes were sunken into their sockets and the crows feet were etched

Days Before Hitman The street was fallen in the dark as the moon began its journey to the sky. Leon sat on the chair and stayed near the window with his bulb eyes opened. There were bloodshot existed. It was a day after Leon had a beautiful meeting with his lovely Ava, and he figured out that he can’t contact her anymore when he gave her a phone call. Ava never rejects his phone call, something must have happened. He took a hat from nowhere and put it on his no hair head. It was now time for action

coast, the coast is a beautiful place where I spend my days basking in the sun, swim in the crystal clear water and am lulled to sleep with the soothing sounds of the waves and warm sea breezes. The past days had been splendid with the sun high in the sky and the waves rolling in as usual. Knocking us from out cloud of happiness, the days started to become gray, the clouds became thick and full of rain with winds that made the waves roar. It looked like there was a bad storm coming so I decided to prepare

December 7th, 1941, 6:32 A.M. Chen looks out at the sea from a small ship heading towards Pearl Harbor. It is a sunny day, all except for the foreboding storm clouds in the distance ahead of him. Standing at the deck, Chen sees the cloud and worries, but at last determines that his crew will be safe until they reach the port of Pearl Harbor. Practicing for his introduction speech he will be presenting in front of a group of businessmen in Pearl Harbor, Chen speaks self-assuredly: “Hello everybody

The sun beams from the sky are lighting up a small area of the painting and the rest is dark and gloomy. The gloominess of the painting represents dark and depressing times while the brightness of the sky creeps through thick dark clouds. This represents heaven because heaven is so large and bright and amazing that even though life is hard and seems like the world

(AGG) The poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once said: “Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven, Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.” (BS-1) Both Nusrat and Najmah have a deep connection to the stars through their lineage and the people they love. (BS-2) Stars also hold a deeper meaning of hope to the reader, which is evident through the author 's interpretation. (BS-3) Much like Najmah, Staples symbolically uses the stars to show Nusrat’s faith in a new light

The light continues its battle with the darkness through the tainted curtain. It reflects off the table and resembles the swaying lake. Rain blankets the earth and the lightening throws itself throughout the menacing sky. The window goes dark. Shaking the ground, the thunder throws the bedroom light on! Between the ever decreasing moments of darkness; the cabin around the window emerges. The square shape and color of its light blue siding shows age. Another window

I felt a grumble in my stomach, and then in a split second my Frosted Flakes flew out of my mouth like a tsunami. This is what it was like for me throughout my flight down to Belize, and even two days into the trip. Belize was a breathtaking trip that was very impelling to me. We did numerous activities, like ride horses, and open Coconuts. After recovering from a horrible sickness we started off by climbing down to the Rio Frio On. The Rio Frio On is a river that wandered down numerous waterfalls
