We began by going through security which nobody likes because it takes a little time out of your day, but it keeps everyone safe so it is an appreciable thing.

Playwright Tennessee Williams once said “a symbol in a play has only one legitimate purpose which is to say a thing more directly and simply and beautifully than it could be said in words”.

I wade in the cool water feeling the drenched jacket that once gave me chills as I was putting it on, clinging to me with support to keep me afloat. I also feel the firm grip of the boots around my feet. I even get to taste the freshness of the water as some of it slips into my mouth. I see the smooth lavender of my ski glistening atop of the water. Behind that I see the black and white boat that we tend to call “The Bear” idling, slowly creeping forward, letting the slack that runs between me and

latches. The cool autumn air fills my lungs as I stand staring. The gravel underneath my suede boots crunches as I hesitantly march across the driveway. As I walk up the steps I used to run up as a child, I turn to my left and I see her through the window. It had been months. I take a deep breath as I turn the cold handle. I thought to myself “How could I have put this off, I had time.” guilt overwhelmed me. As I step through the door tear stained faces of my family greet me. The air is different. It had

People’s conscience’s guide their actions, behaviors, and decisions on a daily basis, but is a person’s conscience powerful enough to determine whether they will live or die? Shakespeare would argue that it is. According to his writing, he would even go as far as implying that a person’s conscience is the reason that one might choose to kill himself. Two of Shakespeare's most famous plays, Hamlet and Macbeth, are prime examples of how a character’s guilty conscience combined with a character’s perceived

that didn 't understand? What about if you repeated the same day over and over and over again until the end of time? The same people every day until you die, on a small island that nobody’s ever heard of. But don’t forget that if you try to leave, you turn into a wrinkly old person that ages years in minutes?

Good afternoon 8C, as you know, I will talk about the themes in Miss Peregrine’s

She looks apprehensive, an expression that looks alien on her. Peggy slowly slides out of the car and gently shuts the door. Once out of the comfort of the car, Peggy turns around for a second time in the span of a minute, reassuring herself that no one is there. She casually walks over to the shrub and abruptly stops. The shrub is much taller than her, and Peggy is skinny enough to fit the narrow width. I hold my breath

Instead, he wants to get out of it because he hates the idea of war and people trying

In “To Build A Fire” the author Jack London is basically, pardon the unprofessional language, telling us to check ourselves before we wreak ourselves. It uses humanity's arrogance and carelessness, as well as nature’s indifference and power as well as consequences to our actions. Over and over we see instances where mistakes come back to haunt the man in his hour of need, even as he makes more. Jack London as a prospector no doubt saw many deaths like these. Men who thought the rules didn’t apply
