The importance of family- Connor Ailara

-
When asked what is important to me, my family is the first thing that comes to me.  This group of people is the one I've spent most of my life with and shared most of my memories with.  With them I've had my best memories and my worst.  I have watched my favorite movies, but also had my worst injuries.  My parents were my first teachers.  They taught me the most important and fundamental things.  From them I learned how to walk, talk, ride a bike, and most importantly, I learned how to be a good person.  My siblings were my first friends.  With them I have played countless games, tangible and imagined.  They have showed me what to do in life to have fun and to succeed.  My siblings are the people who are always there for me to relax with and have fun after a long day.  My family has always supported me.  They have attended many of my sports events, concerts, and ceremonies.  What always shocks me is that they always come even after I insist that they don't have to and it is going to be extremely boring.  This is the group of people that I am closest to and I can often tell what they are going to say before they say it.  These people are the people I cannot live without.

    Everything begins and ends with family. Even if, sometimes, they drive you crazy or you have your differences they are the ones who will always be there! Sweet post!

    Well put. I especially felt the whole "siblings are my first friends" thing.

    I love this. Family always comes first for me as well, and I don't think I could live without them as well.

    I liked this post. It was very short and compact but every word hit me perfectly and I definitely agree with the message. Nice work.

    I thought this was a very well written post and I liked how you were able to show how your family are also your friends. I like how you talked about your family coming to things or events that you really don't want them too, but they are the most supportive people in your life, so they will come to anything, no matter how boring or dumb you tell them it will be. Good job.

    Great post! As much as I disagree with my siblings, what you said about them being your first friends is really true.

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

Image
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...
