Being Invisible by Hannah Ramos

-
I wake up Saturday morning at 10:00 am, and roll out of bed. I had one errand to run that day, which was just to go to the bank to take some money out of my account. I throw on the first pair of jeans I can find and a sweatshirt and go downstairs to make myself some breakfat. 
Sitting on the counter is my new hat that I had just bought the day before. Excited to wear my new hat out for the first time, I rush to the mirror to see how I look in it. Standing across from my reflection, I place the hat on my head for the first time, and all of a sudden, I'm gone. My initial reaction is a screech, and I chuck the hat across the room. After seeing my reflection return in the mirror, once the hat is off, I take a deep breath. Slowly, I pick up the hat again and I try it on in the mirror, and again, I completely disappear. At this moment, I began to realize the new power that I had just obtained, and what I can do with it. 
After ten minutes of putting the hat on and taking the hat off in the mirror, I decide on the adventure that I would take today. I gulf down a granola bar, hop in the car, and drive off towards the bank, with the magic hat on my head. While sitting at a stop light, I notice an old woman in the car next to mine screaming at the top of her lungs while looking my way. This only reassures me that my new powers aren't just in my head, and I'm actually invisible to other people. 
I soon arrive at the bank and take my hat off and on again, to make sure that nothing has changed. After seeing myself disappear in the car mirror once again, I start off into the bank. To make sure that no suspicions are raised by any strange, super natural movement, I wait to enter behind another person entering the bank. 
From there, I slowly move through the bank down a back hallway, where I wait once again and at a door with a large lock on it. As I hear someone coming my way I pin myself against the wall, until they open the door, and I follow them through. My eyes are amazed by the piles of cash on the other side of the door. The person who had let me in with out knowing went into another door and my mission began. A take the largest wad of cash I could hold and tuck it under my shirt, so it then becomes invisible too. Moving like a spy, I reopen the door and leave the money filled room. 
At the end of the hallway, someone whips across the corner and my magic red hat flys off, and all the money that I had been holding, drops to the ground. This is when my first adventure with my new powers, had turned into my last. . . .

    I like your open ended conclusion. I also think it's funny that the first thing the character does after finding out they are invisible is to rob a bank!

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-
Image
Heroes in Greek/Anglo-Saxon (I am grouping the types of historical literature we have read) writing are very obvious and much of ancient Greek literature involves a central hero or a supernatural story. In modern day English, however, the plots are less often mythical and more realistic. Since each person has a different definition for heroism, modern day heroism literature can be more varied. Ancient Greek writing is very often far-fetched, however. There are many similarities and differences between the two types of writing, but first I will run through the most significant differences. In Greek mythology, heroes were often religious figures, like demigods, while modern day writing focuses more on ordinary people. This could be because authors nowadays want the readers to be able to relate with the heroes in their stories. Greek writing had heroes that had the power to protect or destroy the people depending on prevailing circumstances. In contrast, modern day heroes are acknowledg...

My Brother by Elizabeth Hailey DeGasperis

          When I contemplate what is most important in my life, my mind is drawn to my 21-year-old brother, Tom. There are not enough words in the English language I could use to describe what he means to me. I cannot imagine the past fifteen years of my life without him. Allow me to start from the beginning.           Even when I was an infant, he never failed to take me out of my crib, strap me in my high chair, and cook scrambled eggs for us (at the tender age of six). He did this so my mother could catch up on sleep in the mornings and take care of me however he could. I only wish I could return the favour in some way. Though we have always been tight, we used to fight frequently as all siblings do. As immature children, we viewed every ordeal as monumental. The apocalypse would occur if either of us decided to give the other access to the TV remote or the pogo sticks for five minutes. However, we would always make-up in the end and...

Not Fate, Just a Coincidence - Sila Paniker

The idea of fate confuses me. I don't really understand how something will happen no matter what you do. It just seems very unlikely. I think we're constantly making choices that lead to occurrences. We make so many decisions a day that it seems impossible that fate can find a way around it all.  Awhile ago, I saw something called the Butterfly Effect, which doesn't exactly relate to fate but it makes sense to me. The idea is that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world. Essentially, small changes can have large impacts. In my head, this connects with the thousands of tiny decisions we subconsciously make each day. There are people I've met or things that have happened and it feels like it was meant to be but they're just a bunch of coincidences that had the ability to change everything. Thinking about it, there are reasons that can explain everything. For example, I met one of my closest friends a few years ago a...
