Types of Friends by Liz Aldrich

Friends. The glue that holds everyone's world together. When you have any problems, family, school, love, you always turn to who you can call your friend. Now with that, you always know who to turn to for each situation because there all types of friends and each friend fit each situation.
There's the funny friend. The funny friend is the friend that always is cracking jokes and has everybody laughing all the time. They are a very valuable friend because when you need some cheering up or you just need a good laugh, they have always got your back.
Then, there's the listening friend. This friend is the overall greatest listener. You can tell them your problems, your accomplishments, when you are super happy, when you are excited, anxious, anything. If you need someone to really hear you, not just listen, but hear what you have to say, then come to this friend.
Then, there's the gotcha back friend. This friend ALWAYS has your back. No matter what, this friend is always there for you and ready to throw hands no questions asked just to protect you. This is the most loyal type of person you will meet in your entire life.
Then, there's the flaky friend. This friend you love with all your heart,  but lord knows if you are going to make plans with them, they will either flake out or show up hours late. This friend doesn't mean any harm, they just don't have the nature of being on time within them. Sometimes this is just a quirk that makes them different and is just another reason why you love them.
There's also the quirky/ relatable friend. They are always doing the most just to be different or apart from the rest. Most of the time, it's hilarious to everyone, and that's why everyone loves them. No matter what they do, you feel that you understand that, they are so relatable!
Lastly, there's the busy friend. Whether its sports, family stuff, or anything, this friend can never go anywhere. They are always busy on the weekends hanging out with family or going from sport to sport to sport, no matter what, they will never be able to hang out. But you invite them anyways on the off chance, that this time, they will be able to.
With all of these types of friends, some people can be one type or a mixture. Friends are what make the world go around, they are some of the most important people in your life.

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...
