The Hand of the Lady of the Camellias
I dunno what to say to Riquelme. I know what our plan is but it seems that I can't do it and I know that he's gonna be mad or pissed because of what happened. He said "What the hell's happening to you? I thought you wanted to finish Santa Maria but how can you not piss and have a freaking boner in you?". I didn't know what to say and I don't know why am I so scared to him. After that I didn't know what happened. All I know is I'm hurt and I'm lying here, I think in some piss, in the cold ground.

I was on my way home taking the subway then I'm getting the point why that happened. I just can't admit that I'm becoming something or somehow like that. I even don't know what to call that! Am I a homo or am I gay?! I can't reassure myself. On the next station that we stopped I saw someone that's very familiar. I really can't think straight this time because of what happened earlier. But it seems that it's the lady of the camellias! Shit, he better not see me in here.

"Hey Echazarreta!", Santa Maria said to me. "Oh, what are you doing here prick?", I replied. "I always take the subway on my way to school or at home"

Our conversation continued. He was a little far to me while we're having the conversation so I told him to come near. Santa Maria's scared because he thought I'd beat him up, but I said why would I beat him up inside the train? So he came near and hold on to the bar that I'm holding on to. I can't even imagine that this moment is happening, his hand is almost near to mine! We continued our conversation and I apologized for what happened. Santa Maria was shocked and at the same time he's happy to hear it. Then he left the train already. Oh how it feels good to be in good terms with him

    The Rosary is a devotional that derives from the early monastic practice of reciting the 150 psalms daily. When this devotional was adopted by the uneducated lay people of the time simple, easily remembered prayers---such as the Our Father---were substituted for the psalms, the repetition of the words intended to produce a quietude of mind that permitted the faithful to meditate upon the mysteries of the Gospel, focusing on the events of Christ’s life alongside the one who knew Him best: His mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.…

    I opened my eyes. They felt heavy and my head throbbed. I was covered with beads of sweat. I stood up and the world seemed to turn. I was dizzy. I looked around and saw the unfamiliar view. Where am I? People with colorful costumes and masks were surrounding me. There were parade floats everywhere. Then, puzzle pieces began to form in my head. I was in the carnival.…

    Icy roads are a common occurrence for many during the winter. But if you’re not extremely careful, these conditions can become very dangerous very quickly. This was the case with Ethan. He was driving down a street when he hit a patch of ice and began sliding towards a stop sign that he crashed into. When police arrived, Ethan was arrested for speeding as the speed limit was 35 miles per hour on that particular road. There are two people who claim to have caught the crash but one says Ethan was speeding while the other says he was not. Ethan also never slowed down before crashing into the pole because his foot caught under the pedal because the floor was covered with trash which trapped it under the gas.…

    You threw yourself at him, effectively cutting him off as you wrapped your arms around his neck. All he could hear was you squealing “Thank you” over and over again. Before he even had the chance to return your hug, you bounced towards the pup. Gently lifting him out of the box, you settle him close to your chest. You smiled softly as the little husky melted into your…

    Film has captured and enchanted audiences since its origination with the Lumiere Brothers; and, as it developed, it began to be used to convey messages and ideas. Film started to become a creative outlet that then turned to a catalyst of philosophical thought. Film theorist Sergei Einstein expressed that film “as a work of art, understood dynamically, is just the process of arranging images in the feelings and mind of the spectator”. Thus, directors began to realize that audience manipulation was possible through the images and sounds they delivered, as well as through the way these images and sounds were presented-- it all has an effect of how viewers thought of and interpreted the films. This is especially clear in the German film, Triumph of Will, directed by Leni Reifenstahl. While the film is brilliantly made, with moving cameras, the utilization of long focus lenses, aerial photography, and a revolutionary approach to musical accompaniment, the film was also incredibly propagandistic and manipulative at the time of it’s release. The entire film is a vehicle to promote the ideologies of Hitler; beginning with Germany’s near-destruction in World War I and depicting Hitler as a messiah, descending from the skies to greet his vehement followers. In the opening minutes of the film, there are close-up and over-the-shoulder shots of Hitler, making him seem rather personable, adored, and somewhat noble. There are also shots of children approaching him, showing that the ideas of innocence and purity are to be seen as parallel to the views and goals Hitler himself. Aesthetically, the entire film is superbly done, and politically its manipulative powers are astonishing. By showing Germany as unified under the divine rule of Hitler, it brought the nation together and created one of the most destructive and powerful nations in the 1940s.…

    I was on the train and I overheard these two older ladies having a conversation in Spanish. At the next stop, one of the ladies got off and I took the time to familiarize myself. I learned that her name was Roberta. Luckily, she understood and spoke English, so I explained that it was an assignment for school. She agreed and I began by introducing myself and asking for her name and how she was. She replied that she was good and she asked me and I responded the same way. I asked her about her day and where she was from and she asked me where I was from, how was school, and what class I liked the most. The conversation wasn’t long, but it was longer than I thought it would be. The conversation eventually ended when she had to get off at her…
