Life in the Ocean by Nate Miller

-
While I was growing up, I saw all these inventions that my dad had created, but none of them would stay in the house because they never worked and always broke. However, there was an invention that he made when I was seven years old and he has tried to keep me away from it. I would constantly ask my father what the machine did, but he would never tell me. As a result, all this uncertainty urged me to want to test it out even more.
When I woke up on my twelfth birthday, I noticed that my parents were not awake yet and I decided that this was the perfect time to go test the machine. As I crept into my father's office, I thought that maybe the machine was dangerous, but my curiosity took over my cautiousness. Once I was in the office, I immediately began messing with the machine, trying to turn it on. I was finally able to turn the machine on. I was about to use it, when my father came running in yelling, "Don't do it, Nate!" It was too late.
I had woke up with a weird feeling and I realized that I was in the ocean and I had fins now. I transformed into a dolphin. I started to feel homesick and I missed my dad so much, but I didn't know how to revert my life back to how it was. I would have to learn to adapt to my new life. Over time, I learned that I was at the top of the food chain and that was comforting. Also, I realized that I began to feel a sense of freedom, but I still missed my dad.
My life changed when I met Molly. She was the most beautiful dolphin I had ever met and I immediately knew that she was the one. Eventually we got married and that feeling of missing my father came back again because he is missing one of the biggest moments of my life. Over time, I began to accept the fact that I probably won't ever see my father again. As much as I missed my father, I knew I had the best possible life I could because I had the perfect wife and I knew my father would be proud of me. Although my life changed drastically, I found a way to recover and find the positives in a life that I thought was the worst it could possibly be.

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-

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...
