Chirped Mrs. Miller's 'A Labyrinth'
A Labyrinth. Filled with twists in endless corners. Always lost through the perpetual tunnels with confusion spurling through my mind. Bewildered at the irrational problems that spur internally which will vanish into thin air in only mere seconds. The air, crisp and cold, intertwines with the silence dancing around me.The silence, unnerving but quiet, wreaks havoc of the mental math arising in my head. The only sound appears through the walls of a spurring decrepit air conditioner. Opening my eyes shall only bring the simple, white sheet filled with catastrophic numbers and scattered X’s and Y’s.

“Ughh...What is this,” I grumbled annoyingly. I stared grimly on the classwork as if I witnessed another episode of Dora with my brother. “Why

“Again,” I muttered to myself in disbelief. Last Friday, Mrs. Thimble, a middle-aged lady, came in rambling about the historical nature of literature, and it was the longest hour of my life.In addition, we needed to write a five-hundred word essay on the formulated basis of literature. I was not pleased with this at all.

“Let’s try that again with a greater response,” Ms.Ross energized.
“Hello Ms.Ross,” everyone cheered. Most of my peers’ faces started to peek a smile like a sun rising in the morning sky.
“Good, Now what do you know about passion,” she inquired. As she questioned us about the meaning of passion, I did not know what she was trying to say, but I thought about it. It was a first time that I actually feel engaged in an activity.
“It is a hobby which you live by,” a girl, tall and gangly replied timidly.
“No, it is a goal you strive for,” a boy conceited.
“Well, it can be many different perspectives to everyone,” Ms. Ross cherished.
“Can it be something you do for fun,” another boy in the back of the class hollered.
“Sure, it can be anything you want to achieve,” Ms. Ross responded. I thought to myself to where am I in life.

Once I left class, I did not care how hard the assignment was, but how was I going to do it. The discussion deepened my personal connection with myself. When I reached in towards my comfortable haven, I continue to interrogate myself with questions:
What am I?
Do I have a real cause in life?
“What do I want to be

    Over the past few years I have been in the ‘finding myself’ phase. I have always been a person to be analytical and constantly working things through in my head. As of recent, I have been meaning to find purpose and meaning for all things humane. I would guess in the pursuit of happiness as they say. I often find myself wanting to reach out and see what I can do in my own pursuit to help others along the way. After taking the Ethical Lens game I can most definitely identify myself with the Rights and Responsibility lens.…

    The entire semester defining what Literature is has being the course’s quest. Literature is always changing; its definition has developed and changed from time to time. To find an exact definition of what is literature, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. There have been several attempts to decipher this puzzle, in “What Is an Author” written by Michael Foucault, he emphasizes on the idea that an author exists only as a function of a written work. The author's name holds considerable power and serves as an anchor for interpreting a text. And “On the Sublime” written by Longinus, the writer states that the sublime implies that man can, in emotions and in language, transcend the limits of the human condition. This research paper consists in identifying the elements of literature by comparing two major pieces of work. In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley warns that with the advent of science, natural questioning is not only futile, but dangerous. In attempting to discover the mysteries of life, Frankenstein assumes that he can act as God. He disrupts the natural order, and chaos ensues. In “Young Goodman Brown”, Hawthorne explores the nature of imagination and reality in this mysterious story by allowing the reader to actively question the reality of the night's events. He combines a multitude of elements into it creating a sense of mystery. The short story follows Goodman Brown’s journey resulting in his loss of faith. Literature allows the reader to feel, experience, and inhabit a character or place. It goes beyond the scope of everyday fiction, reaches new insights and allows the writer to reason with the audience.…

    We had crucial things to ponder: the nadir and zenith of human consciousness, the questions of life that came to us as we sat underneath the stars that night. We were both trying to find answers, to gain clarity, to put things into perspective. Rochelle called it the road to self-discovery; I called it the road to self-invention. She was trying to find out who she is; I was trying to find out who I wanted to be… We were so alike and so completely…

    All great pieces of literature stand the test of time because they speak to us in some form or another - whether it is to the individual or the whole society . But a question arises - what is great literature ? And who defines what is a great piece of literature ? Whilst broad questions I will briefly attempt to define great literature as writing that represents not only a ''radical change or time in history and puts into perspective the viewpoints of that time ''.…

    THE story of a nation's literature ordinarily has its beginning far back in the remoter history of that nation, obscured by the uncertainties of an age of which no trustworthy records have been preserved. The earliest writings of a people are usually the first efforts at literary production of a race in its childhood; and as these compositions develop they record the intellectual and artistic growth of the race. The conditions which attended the development of literature in America,…
