Viola Monologue
A long time ago, in a small village named Talintos, lived a young girl named Viola Lin. Everybody in Talintos excelled or invented something that changed the world; everybody except for Viola.
People in the village mocked and laughed at Viola, even her parents, who were disapproving and ashamed of their own child.
“I thought that she would invent something,” said Viola’s mother, shaking her head. “But no, now I realize that will never happen.”
“I can play the flute!” Viola exclaimed, tears forming in her eyes. “I can cook, I can draw pictures, and I can hunt!”
“But Adrian can play flute much better than you. Isabelle invented poutine, Kathy draws better than you, and William can catch much larger prey. You will never be anything special,” her parents said, eyes glinting with disapproval.

Two children ripped Viola’s instrument out of her hands and threw it to the ground, where it laid, a huge crack on the surface.
Viola ran forwards, hands outstretched, as if she could save her invention from the derision of the villagers, but no. Dust flew as everybody charged towards the unfortunate hollow block of wood, stomping on it, kicking it, and finally, throwing it into a fire.
Poor Viola Lin screamed, kicked, and shouted, to no avail. Once her instrument was thoroughly destroyed by the bloodthirsty villagers, defeated and dejected, Viola left the village and started aimlessly wandering.
The whole while, Viola was muttering under her breath, how the villagers of Talintos were fools not to appreciate her invention, and how once she thought of a different idea, she will go back and make them worship her and her creation.
“Viola Lin,” a soft voice rang out from behind her.
When Viola spun around, she saw the majestic white horse, once more. “You speak?”
“I am Arion, created by Poseidon and Demeter,” replied the horse. “You never give up, no matter what, Viola Lin. It is quite

    The goal of most stories is to convey a point, or to teach a lesson to the reader. Throughout the short stories “Gwilan's Harp” by Ursula K. LeGuin, “The Washwoman” by Isaac Singer, and “The Last Leaf” by O. Henry, the concept of loss plays a common theme throughout the characters' lives. Loss can be attributed to many things, including people, but in these short stories it is nonhuman things in particular that can serve to teach lessons: the harp in “Gwilan's Harp”, the linens in “The Washwoman” and the vine in “The Last Leaf”. Each of these physical objects takes part in a form of loss that serves to help the characters of each story learn a message, whether it be it large or small.…

He said “sure thing.” As I walked up to the stand with the dart already on the table, I thought I was ready to throw it at the rubbery balloon. I closed my dark brown eyes and squinted very tight at the only balloon I wanted.…

    World War 1 is undoubtedly one of the greatest tragedies in the history of the modern world, responsible for the deaths of over 11 million young men. From 1914-1918 the European powers fought out one of the bloodiest series of battles ever recorded, including some horrific battles like the Battle of Fromelles, the Battle of the Somme, Gallipoli and the Battle of Verdun to name only a few. The reasons behind this tragic event are complex, but several factors including Imperialism had a rather influential role in causing this calamity. Imperialism, the act of establishing an empire through the acquisition of ‘lesser’ or ‘primitive’ countries for the purpose of increasing a country’s wealth, power and prestige, became popular during the expansion of the Spanish Empire in the 1600’s. While the European powers like Britain and Germany raced to control as much of the world as possible, the already present tensions between European countries were exacerbated; this eventuated in causing the First World War. This essay will look at the emergence of Imperialism within the British Empire, how Imperialism affected firstly the colonies made, and secondly the competitors (Germany) and how the raised tensions that Imperialism created resulted in the First World War. These three points will contribute to show that Imperialism was instrumental in causing World War One, and also responsible for making it as bloody and terrible as it was.…

    This essay will attempt to compare and contrast two films directed by Spanish director actress Iciar Bollain. The films to be compared and contrasted are "Hi, are you alone? ("Hola,estas sola?") and "Flowers from another world" ("Flores de otro mundo"). The most apparent reason for comparing and contrasting these two films is that both focus their attention on women's affairs and behaviours in today's Spanish society, both display similarities in their content but most important is the differences that one may find in the portrayal of women the director seems to be interested in.…
