Headache to Heartbreak -Paige De Giovanni

-
this is a poem about someone who broke my heart after I broke his. Feel free to interpret everything else any way you want.

 I originally was not going to post this because in my opinion, it's really edgy and sounds better performed out loud (AKA reading this in my head and thinking I'm talented enough to perform it) but Nick and Georgia both read it and said that they really liked it and that I should so I've decided to post it.

Mountain Creek!! My favorite place on the planet!!

The cold is not the only thing I remember.
I had fallen and rolled down a mountain of snow
I groaned.
The massive headache from the fall showed.

Despite the cold, your smile warmed me.
Along with your rush to my aid, your touch and your sympathy.
We laughed together, my harsh landing turned out to be quite funny.
My headache resided and we continued snowboarding: our activity, sweet as honey.

This was February.
Times were simple, full of cheer
But things got worse as we neared the end of the year.

Winter was a special time for me,
Days full of our shared time in the snow.
But this year, I fear that things will be different,
As you now have a new life, a new person, and a new glow.

You've changed. You're not the person I knew.
It might be due to me, yet you blamed me for things I would never do.
I thought we made up, but I was mistaken.
You started dating another, and my entire life was shaken.

Although things changed, all I want back is my best friend.
Why can't this happen?
Why can't I be happy for you?
Why can't the snow and good times come back and make me less blue?

My heart has broke because of you.
But how can I be mad when I know I broke yours too

    Georgia and Nick were right. This was amazing, and I felt every word of it as if you were describing it to me. Good job!

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...
