Quarantine TV Shows - Adam Bova

-
As most people have been, I've been cooped up in quarantine for the past few months because of the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the few things that has come out of this quarantine is that I discovered a lot of very good TV shows. After going through series after series, I've come to find my three favorite shows during quarantine.

1. The Society
This is a Netflix show that I watched at the beginning of quarantine. It is about a group of high school students who wake up one morning to their town deserted. They are forced to find a way to survive on their own without any source of leadership. They also have to deal with the mystery of where everybody else went (or where they, themselves, went). I found that The Society was very entertaining and it always left me wondering what would happen next.

2. Outer Banks
This is also a Netflix show that was very popular over the last couple months. It is about a group of kids who live in the Outer Banks in North Carolina. I don't want to spoil anything, but they discover that there is treasure hidden somewhere on the island. The show deals with their adventures and discoveries in their path to finding the treasure. Outer Banks also portrays the rivalry between the rich and poor populations on the island. I really enjoyed Outer Banks. It was suspenseful and very entertaining.

3. Friday Night Lights
This is a Hulu show that I just finished watching. It is about a high school football team and their journey to the state championship. The town of Dillon Texas is serious about their high school football. New head coach Eric Taylor has to deal with the pressure set by this town. With young quarterback, Matt Saracen, the Dillon Panthers need to find a way to get to state. I really enjoyed this show. It had the perfect balance between drama and football. Friday Night Lights was probably my favorite show that I watched during quarantine.

These were my three favorite shows during quarantine. They were all very suspenseful and always had me entertained. I think that one of the main reasons that I enjoyed them is because the protagonists are mostly high school students. This allows me to relate to the experiences that the characters go through. I would definitely recommend these shows to anyone who needs something to watch during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Outer Banks and Friday Night Lights are awesome. I haven't watched The Society yet but I definitely will now.

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...
