air filling the whole house. It is always the same‚ year after year‚ and I would never change it; because to me it is the best time of year‚ the fourth thursday of November‚ Thanksgiving. The holiday means so much to me as the traditions my family hold have been passed down from generation to generation. There is something symbolic about thanksgiving and the memories I carry from previous year’s celebrations. Every year as I walk up the stairs and through the door into my grandparent’s house‚ flashbacks

Vespers over the echo of your once beating heart. Oh‚ your beating heart. On evenings that were too cold or too windy for comfort‚ I would rest my head on the nape of your neck and embrace your body with my trembling arms. My palm would find your chest and the seismic resonance of your heart would give me that relieving reminder that you were indeed real. There was never a day where you could not satisfy my yearning for company. You were my security‚ my humble consort of the night. You were that resplendent

Reading Journal Entry 1 The first two chapters of Everything I Never Told You felt like quick summaries of the time Lydia was missing‚ and the story of how her mother and father got together.

A DIVINE EXPERIMENT I reread the last paper I had just finished writing and leaned back in my chair. I pondered patiently what the reaction to my deed would be like‚ I was serenely curious. I had already picked my man and he had picked his people. He had already left and begun his journey. I placed the last paper on the stack beside. What I had written on those papers for my man was nothing uncommon. But that seldom mattered; for things never went exactly according to what was written. Although it

“I don’t know if I’ve ever been so damn proud.” The preceding quote was taken directly from my journal (not a diary) on July 31st‚ 2015. My crew of 8 and I had been through a lot this infamous day as we continued our 26-day trek through the magnificent yet unforgiving Canadian wilderness.

Gorin’s Forget Herostratus is a clear critique of the Soviet Union‚ but it is an ingeniously disguised critique‚ enabling the play to get past the censors and communicating Gorin’s serious messages within a historical‚ comedic

Over the summer I worked at a special needs camp in a pre-k inclusion classroom‚ and one of the neurotypical peers was a four year old boy with bright blue eyes‚ a warm laugh‚ and defiant‚ aggressive attitude. Anytime this little boy would be asked to do anything‚ whether it be transition activities or put on his shoes‚ a full blown meltdown would ensue. The meltdown would not only be disruptive‚ but potentially harmful to the others since the intense

Both the text‚ “I never had it made” and the PBS review‚ Jackie Robinson: an inside look‚ have some similarities and differences. Both the excerpt and video mention how important the world series was to him‚ but even though that is one similarity‚ the excerpt talks about of people of such importance to him for example‚ Rachel‚ his wife‚ and Branch Rickey. PBS’ video talks more about Robinson’s private life or his life before baseball. Before he broke the color barrier‚ Jackie Robinson fought in the
