The poem Her Kind by Anne Sexton is a story regarding the past. The narrator is explaining significant dark moments in her life. She briefly explains who she has been in her past life, which is structured into three stanzas. First, she depicts herself as a lonely witch, then a misunderstood cavewomen and lastly a victimized villager. However the most important characteristic of the speaker is that she is a woman and that is not something she is ashamed of, as she makes it clear in the last sentence of every stanza that she identifies herself as a woman. The tone of this poem is very calm and not at all angry. She is not upset about her life she is simply just telling the readers her story, which happens to be very disturbing and not at all normal. The tone is also quite haunting due to the author’s use of imagery to describe witchcraft. In the first stanza the author describes the narrator as a witch and how she is “dreaming of evil (3)” she starts to state true characteristics of what this witch looks like “twelve-fingered, out of mind (5)”. In the second stanza the author continues to use a twisted fairytale image when she states that the woman “fixed suppers for the worms and the elves (11)”. Since elves do not exist in the world which humans adhere to know this gives the reader an extended image of witchcraft and fairytales. In the third stanza the narrator implies that she is dead when she states, “where your flames still bite my thigh (18)”. This leads the reader to

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) said this famous quote at his first inaugural address, when he took one of the most important jobs in the world, becoming the president of the United States. He then went on to do what no other president had done before―be elected for more than two terms. The people elected Franklin for four consecutive terms during one of the nation’s hardest times, and he and his wife helped pull the nation to its feet. This period of World War II is captured in the biography No Ordinary Time: Franklin & Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II by Doris Kearns Goodwin. The author uses countless interviews to piece together the perspective of the home front from

“ Heroes are made by the path they choose, not the powers they are graced with.” by Brodi Ashton, Everneath. The things you have it's about the choices you make in life whether that person is a hero or not. The novel “ And then there were none” by Agatha Christie is a mystery book about murder happening on the island and at the end everyone is dead. The movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a fiction movie and is about treat rising after 30 years in Galactic Empire, Han Solo. Wargrave fits the archetype of the anti - hero because he lacks heroic traits and was replaced with murderous characteristics and Kylo Ren fits the archetype of the villain because he was the Dark Sided and he was a tragic villain.

Everyone knows that one person who could do anything and not face any consequences. Like that bully on the playground that never gets caught. Or that kid at school that talks trash about you behind your back. Sometimes we wish that karma will catch up to them but it never seems to do that. Some of us even want to take matters into our own hands.

"And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie, a classic novel of a twisted murder mystery set in England. A show that requires great creativity and adaptability to be able to make this show work. An actor's workplace is on the stage along with other cast members, working together to perform a show to an audience. Although, actors have to work together, they also have to work on themselves. That's why I believe that the life lessons, such as a new perspective and the creative freedom, I have learned from being in this show will stay with me, even after high school.

 And Then There Were None, is an intriguing murder mystery novel that follows the lines of a poem called "Ten Little Indians".  The story is intricately written to keep the reader in absolute suspense from the beginning to end.

Even till this day I love a variety of books from horror to old World War two stories. But my personal favorite books are those that relate to undercover Drug Enforcement agents or CIA spy books also story’s from soldiers during missions in Afghanistan or Iraq. What really attracted me to this genre are the stories of bravery and comradery, also the elite stuff that they do such as Halo jumping which is when you jump out of a plane at 30,000 feet or being undercover in a very dangerous Drug Cartel. It keeps me glued to book never wanting to stop. On the other end I love old western stories or even thriller and crime solving books. But as a kid I really loved Goosebumps by R.L. Stine. The way he wrote the dialogue in the books and how he came up with these crazy and weird stories was just great. So lately I have been digging through my old junk and found a couple of books such as “The Beast from the East” or “Ghost camp.” Re reading them brings back memories of being small and inside a small classroom just quiet and

A Guilty Conscience “Guilt is to the spirit, what pain is to the body” –Elder David A. Bednar. What Elder is saying is that guilt is like pain but to the spirit and mind. Having a guilty conscience can lead to bad consequences and bad judgement. In And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, Vera shows readers the effects of a guilty conscience can make a person act and do things they never would do.

And Then There Were None is a mysterious book, and growing up in a family that liked mystery; I have grown to like it too. Since I was little, I liked watching and reading about a mystery. One of my favorite movies of all time is Allegiant. It’s about two people that escape the enclosed city of Chicago for the first time they see all the bad stuff that happens to the rest of the world. One of my favorite mystery books is, Gone Girl. It is about a woman that disappears and her husband can’t find her. The book And Then There Were None is about ten people that go on an island for vacation and everyone dies according to a poem. “Who is it Mr.Blore? That’s what I want to know. Who is it” (Christie 171)? This shows that everyone doubts each other on the island because no one else is on the island besides the ten people. In my opinion, And Then There Were None, also known as “The Queen of Mystery,” is a five-star book.

My favourite author is Isabel Allende, she is a person who writes with counciosness and tries to express herself in a way that it is so natural it is imposible to not understand and feel what you are reading.
