Scars do not define a person. Rather, they enrich an individual’s character through the process of pain, loss, and healing. Crystal Lemley, in Jessie Van Eerden’s novel, Glorybound, is wrapped up in two damaging relationships: Crystal’s relationship with her prophet and father, Cord Lemley, and Crystal’s forbidden love with Ronnie Sisler. These two relationships scar her character on two levels: emotional and spiritual. The journey of Crystal through Glorybound explores these wounds and how they…

Scars If you were to meet my father for the first time, he would seem like a joyful and energetic person, but after talking to him and getting to know him you will be very glad you are not in his life. With him, I know that people are not all they seem to be. One afternoon, I came back from school and surprisingly he was not in the living room so I just scurried off to my bedroom to undress. All I know is that he just barged in the room and began to scream out my name. I came…

my knee's tightly to my chest, I can't help but notice the faded scars that line my shins. Each mark tells a story of adventures and mishaps I've encountered over my seventeen years - constant reminders of mistakes and discoveries I've made thus far in my shortly lived life. I begin to day dream, carefully recalling each detail as I sit comfortably on my bedroom floor. On the inside of my left ankle I see the very faint scar from the summer I turned six. My oldest brother Geoff was out riding…

SCAR markers are PCR based primers that represent genomic DNA fragments at genetically defined loci, that are identified by PCR amplification using sequence specific oligonuceotide primers (Paran and Michelmore, 1993; Me Dermott et al., 1994). Inception of SCARs involves cloning the amplified products of arbitrary marker techniques and then sequencing the 2 ends of the cloned products. The sequence s therefore used to design specific primer pairs of 15-30 bp which will amplify single major bands…

Yael Pineda History M151C Professor E. Avila 8 June 2015 Exploring the Scars of Centuries Human slavery is a phenomenon that has been present since the times of the Romans and the Greeks. As a common misconception, societies, especially America’s tend to believe that slavery was always black. Throughout a period of enslavement, human beings have again and again treated slavery and racial hierarchy as an act of the “norm” embedded in human behavior, which they use in order to make a clear distinction…

fellow soldiers all around the globe. When a soldier is in a war zone, defined as “An area that is prone to being under constant attack” (Dictionary.com), they are constantly surrounded by violent, unnatural behaviors.

The outcome of these memories, whether sooner or later, can range from depression and anxiety, substance abuse…

The Emotional Scars of September 11 Walking past the courthouses and city hall toward Ground Zero, you enter an uncanny world that is both completely familiar and totally strange. Though street signs and landmarks remain unchanged, axes of orientation no longer line up as they once did. It is not just the reduction of people and traffic; something else, something palpable yet far more difficult to articulate is loose on the streets. I visited the site with my friend, Aaron, who had been…

Internal Scars of a child CVVS 2113 Justinn Nayfa 30 October 2015 A girl was getting ready for school. She was not looking forward to walking into the living room, because her father would be there waiting. He was always sitting in his chair watching television. She tried every morning to not go into the living room and to sneak past him, but each morning he would see her and nightmare would start. He did not hit her, in fact he never touched her. His words where his weapons…
