Elmo's New Talk Show by Colin Kowalski

-
That's right. HBO has recently presented a new groundbreaking idea on their streaming platform HBO Max featuring a talk show hosted by none other than Elmo. According to this article by NPR, the show, called "The Not Too Late Show with Elmo" will consist of Elmo serving as a talk show host with Jimmy Fallon and and Singing with Lil Nas X.

 In an interview with Eric Deggans, Elmo said, "Elmo's good friends with Mr. Jimmy Fallon. So Elmo's done Mr. Jimmy's show, and Elmo has done Mr. Stephen Colbert's show. So Elmo knows a little bit about talk shows. And Elmo just just thought, boy, those people look really good in suits. So Elmo wanted to try that." With his experience hosting talk shows in the past and his connections to some famous talk show hosts, Elmo believes he could bring one of the best talk shows to viewers everywhere (with an HBO Max subscription). The show also features Cookie Monster for introductions and jokes, including Elmo's classic interrupting cow joke! According to Cookie Monster, the whole team is involved, with Rosita as stage manager, Abby as lead writer, and Bert, Ernie, and Grover as directors. 

 The show, according to Elmo, will focus on establishing a good bedtime routine for kids who do not want to go to bed. This will include the Jonas Brothers singing songs about going to sleep and Kacey Musgraves singing lullabies. Elmo was quoted saying, "Sometimes Elmo doesn't want to go to bed, you know. But then, you know, if you do the routine and you do it with your mommy and daddy, sometimes it could be fun. So we learn about putting on our pajamas, brushing our teeth, combing our fur." Elmo places an emphasis on good hygene and bedtime routines to help kids go to bed all across the world. When asked what advice he would give to kids struggling with the worldwide pandemic, Elmo said that "There would be hard days and good days, but remember that the good days will come."

 Unfortunately, no mention was made by Elmo of an appearance of Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, or The Count, which has ruffled many feathers. Hopefully, they will make appearances on Elmo's new show.

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...
