Lumos: A Short Story
His greed has overcome his reason and Lumos will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He dragged James into the clock tower and ordered his men to search the place. There was no way anyone could hide a fortune in here James thought. After a while the local authorities were here and James felt relieved that Lumos would be stopped. To his surprise Lumos seemed calm and phoned someone. “Yes it's me, take care of the situation.

    Me Facing Life: Cyntoia's Story Summary

    The documentary “Me facing Life; Cyntoia’s Story” is about a young girl named Cyntoia, who is sixteen years old, going through a trail after committing murder; her life and what may have led her to committing so many delinquent acts is also expressed. Throughout the film her family, lifestyle and way of thinking is shown deeply. Still, after seeing the film I feel as if her pathway to delinquency could have been avoidable by just having more supervision, having a better family structure, and even being more active in school. Cyntoia had hit the streets at thirteen, she was a chronic runaway. “I wasn’t running from; I was running to,” she explains now. The streets of Nashville gave her “what I thought was freedom.”…

    Personal Narrative: Mariela De Loa

    The color of my skin, texture of my curls, and sound of my accent does not solely define who I am. I define myself as Mariela De Loa, a Catholic, Mexican-American young woman. My adolescence consisted of me growing up in a middle class household with my mother, father, and three siblings. From a young age my parents embeded religious morals into my norms and values. I was taught to put God above all and treat those around me with respect. My parents also enforced the Spanish language while I was growing up. By the time I entered kindergarten, Spanish was my dominant language, so I couldn’t speak English as well. It was difficult for me to get along with other kids because none of them looked like me or spoke the same language as me. Essentially,…

    The Odyssey

    Homer 's poem The Odyssey depicts the tendency of people to ignore the consequences of their actions. Odysseus punished Penelope 's suitors without thinking of consequences that he would have to endure. He did not acknowledge the consequences because that would prevent him from doing what he wants to do. Odysseus wanted to kill the suitors; they ate away at his fortune. Finding consequences for murdering the suitors would force Odysseus to realize what he is about to do is not a good idea. Odysseus chose to ignore the consequences and killed the suitors anyway. Odysseus had absolutely no reason to kill the suitors; they had the right to stay in his home because Penelope made them feel welcome, Penelope and Telemachus both told them that Odysseus was dead, and although Telemachus told them to leave, he did not have the right to do so.…
