and living with two of my best friends and teammates. The night before we were first informed about the M.I.R.R.O.R. assignment I injured my knee for the third time, and my life completely turned upside down. I have been forced to move back in with my parents in Ankeny and have needed help with almost every daily task of my life. This reflection on my inner responses comes during a month-long period where my environment has drastically changed, and will include insight from my mother who has been helping

the ignition and the vibration of the engine feels like a massage over my entire body. I’m not sure what to do next. Peggy looks hesitant. The letters PDRN look like some weird acronym. “I think you should try to move the stick shift to the letter D. I think that means drive.” Peggy looks hesitant and a little annoyed that I’m telling her what to do but decides to try my suggestion. We are in motion. It’s a warm summer day, and my thighs are sticking to the leather seats.

arrived two years before. The author describes her as “a very frail girl who looked as if she had been lost in the rain for years and the rain washed out the blue from her eyes and the red from her mouth and the

urge to free his hands and shake the offending liquid from them. Teeth rattled in his mouth, his lips quivered. Green eyes throbbed beneath swollen, red lids; stark in their bloodshot surrounds. A familiar tingle feathered his eyes, his nose. A reflex, simply a reflex. Vainly, Henry fought against the desire to itch. So strong was the sensation, and as he lifted his shoulder to his eye, a useless attempt at relief, he knew it would not calm the reflex. Ignore it. Ignore it. His mantra, the words echoed

we usually went to my house to hangout, so I was very excited. I decided to go to her house around one in the afternoon and start observing them. The outside of her house seems very western, but as you step into their house everything changes. The first thing that I notice when I walked in was the little step to enter the house, and a bunch of shoes in front of it. When Ji Hyo mother let me into the house, she asked me if I could take off my shoes? I, of course, took off my shoes because it’s their

Due to her condition, she is believed that she can’t go outside or she would die. In addition, Madeline has a nurse called “ Carla” and her mother which they are always stuck inside the Los Angeles house with Madeline. This 18 year old girl suffers from SCID or it can be known as the “bubble baby disease”.

I was always aware that my mother’s rules were there but it did not matter to me if I broke these rules once I got pleasure from what I was engaged in and in the end successfully avoiding the typical beating I normally get as punishment. I felt that once I made myself happy without getting trouble, then what I was doing wasn’t necessarily wrong. This happened because I did not understand the true meaning of morals, in fact, I did not even know the word, my thoughts were either be punished

Time. 10:19 p.m. South Florida. The traffic light rests at red for an eternity, mocking me with its condescending gaze. I quickly turned my head both directions, not a car in sight for what it seemed to be miles. Is this some kind of joke? Looking into the rear view mirror, nothing there by me. James Montgomery. Glasses, brown hair, green sweater vest, and an untrimmed beard. Some people say I resemble a young Robin Williams from Good Will Hunting. I’ll take that as a compliment. A journalist

comparisons were made, but the women were made out to be so unrealistic. Women had become a collection of objects rather than human, but Shakespeare shed some light on the matter at hand and presented a new way of thinking. In Shakespeare’s My Mistress’ Eyes, he purposefully contradicts the typical blazon tradition, uses enjambment, and uses rhyme schemes to create

Eye Mask This is on the top of my list when we travel to Europe. We have stayed at some hotels where the curtains and blinds were thin. My eye mask really helped me sleep, especially since we typically go to Poland with the six hour difference. You'll also find that it will help you sleep on the plane and allow you to get over jet lag faster after a long flight. Slash Proof Bag A slash proof bag is definitely one of my top picks for travel necessities for Europe. If you’re concerned about the

The Time Eye Had Surgery When my eye first started hurting, I thought I would be able to go the doctor, get pink eye medicine, and go home with everything completely fine. But I was wrong. It was the morning of June 27, before I went to the doctor’s office. I had woken up with a terrible migraine, yet again, so I went to the bathroom to get some tylenol. I took one look in the mirror and I almost screamed. My left eye, which had been aggravating me as well as the migraine, was swollen half shut

Finding My Eye-dentity In the essay, “Finding My Eye-dentity,” Olivia Chung, begins her story as a young, insecure, Korean American adult. As she progresses with her story, she also makes progress with her eyelids insecurity. As a Korean girl, she faces the facial insecurity that most Korean girls face which is having single eyelids or monoeyelids. What’s important to know for the understanding of this essay are two terms which include “sang ka pul” and “monoeyelidded girl” (107). “Sang ka pul” is

A fleeting memory, like a butterfly’s wings endlessly fluttering in the playful wind, it flees before my eyes, never to return. Gently closing my eyes before the glaring street lights that seemed to beckon me through the thick windshield, my fingers slowly gripped the steering wheel, my mind soon plummeted into an abyss, which I could not comprehend. ‘Mr. Kuroko, you will be assigned to a different department starting tomorrow. Please read this to fully understand your new work, as well as your

the air as if it owned the space surrounding her as she pulled my hand down the musky dirt trail we had found ages ago. We were walking around in the forest with the birds singing their sweet melodies but all I could focus on was the way her silky brown hair waved with the wind like it was a part of it itself. We halted as we approached our destination: on old weeping willow tree. She turned to look at me, her ocean blue eyes bored into my own. The hanging leaves of the willow cascading around her figure

doing my monotonous homework, I suddenly realized that someone- or something- was intently watching me through the screen door. Consequently, all the hairs on my neck stood up straight. Furthermore, I didn’t know why they were there, though I was hoping it wasn’t to do anything harmful to me. My eyes couldn’t perceive much of anything, but as the crepuscular figure came slightly closer, I could clearly gaze at their- or, her, as I now realized- distinct features. She appeared to be about my age, 13

just be another normal day. Wake up, eat, go to school, do my homework, then go to sleep again. Nope, this was as far from a normal day that you could get. People think I don’t understand much as a child, but I know more than what they think. I know it’s the end of the world. Everything is happening like it would in a movie, cannibals, blood, guts, tears, and in general, just chaos erupting everywhere. Violet, my sister, is infected, but my mom doesn’t want to let her go. I know that once she turns

melanin and how it effected skin color and briefly discussed how it effected eye color. How if you did not have melanin to color your eyes they would appear red or pink because of your exposed blood vessels like in albinism. I found this information truly fascinating and wanted to learn more about how/why we have color variation, or even color at all, in our eyes. The first thing I found in my research is that the original eye color is brown somewhere presumably 6,000-10,000 years ago there was a genetic

into someone’s eyes, a connection is formed instantly. Eyes express emotion, and they reveal character. Through a simple glance into someone’s eyes, their emotions convey the feelings of their heart. In the stories Like Wallpaper and My Father Running with a Dead Boy by Carl Nixon, the manipulation of characters’ eyes leads to added suspense and melancholy. Throughout each story written by Nixon, the reader notices the uncertainty and grief through the movement of characters’ eyes. Nixon expresses
