Summertime By Liz Aldrich

Image result for summerAll I want right now is it to be summer. I don't want to deal with piled-up tests every week, stressing about turning in assignments on time. I don't want to deal with the constant stress about if I will be warm enough in my sweatshirt, or if I should wear a jacket over it as well. I don't want to deal with hurrying to rush all my plans into one 2 day slot because it is too stressful to hang out with friends and do things during the week. I do want to deal with dreading Mondays and endlessly longing for Friday and the weekend.
Instead, I want to lay on the warm sand, hearing the waves crash just feet behind me, in a complete zen. I want to be able to leave the house in nothing but a pair of shorts, a tank top and a pair of sandals, without a single worry about being cold. I want to look in the mirror and be able to see my defined tan lines, making me glow. I want to go from plans back and forth all week, so much so that I can't even keep track of the days anymore. I want someone to ask me what day it is, and me to have no clue because that's the least of my worries and all the days are fun so they all blend together. I want to be outside on a walk with my friends at 10 at night, still having hours until we have to go back inside because of the darkness. I want to be warm, relaxed, and stressfree. This summer I will have the best summer yet, as I do every summer. I will be outside getting a tan one minute and inside sipping my lemonade and fruit the next minute. Summer is by far my favorite time of year. Going to the beach, picnics, late-night walks, concerts outside, everything. This summer will definitely be one to remember,

    I also can't wait for summer to be here. I look forward to spending all day outside playing sports and hanging out with friends too.

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...
