The baptism As the sun glistens through the long dark shredded curtains covering a big old dirty window. It creeps across the messiness of wrinkled sheets,and lands on your smooth,freckled skin. It gives you a warm and bubbly feeling. Your eyes flutter open slowly as you yawn and stretch your aching long body from the glorious sleep you just had awoken from. You crawl out of bed as slow as a sloth to soon go through the jungle of cloths you have. Deeper and deeper you go into the jungle to search for that perfect baggy shirt. You put on your skinny jeans one leg at a time just like any other human being,holes on each knee because you know you aren't the steadiest person. You rush to put on your old and tattered shoes. They used to have crisp white laces but they have now turned a soft grey from the drive way you walk up and down everyday. The sides all torn up from pulling in them trying to it your fat in them. You do the daily routine that everyone does going through the list in your head like brushing your teeth and hair to putting on deodorant and perfume. You grab your bible and your cracked cup as you rush into the cold crisp air you are greeted with from the outdoors. Packed into a car like sardines with your siblings and off you go on the weekly adventure to the church.your ride there is silent and seems to last a lifetime but once you finally reach your destination, it's off like a rabbit getting stuff done in a quick,fast and a hurry. Down the long narrow and

On this particular Sunday, the blouse only touched the nipples of her d-cup breasts, which in turn caused them to grow hard from the cold contact of the fabric on her warm skin. Quickly, she crossed her arms over her chest and whimpered, "Why must you always be an eyesore to those nice Christian people who go to church every Sunday like they're supposed to? Why do you even go?" This debate between whether to go or not to go to church occurred before every church trip that Ella made. However, the decision always remained the same, and with a sigh Ella picked up her black duffle bag, crumpled up her old t-shirt, and shoved it

Light rushes through a gap in the curtain flooding into my eyes. Irritated, I roll over onto my side, covering my face with an old pillow that smelt like cheese puffs. Consequently I’m itchy all over, must of left the door open and let the bed bugs bite. Crawling out of bed right leg, searching for the floor to regain reality and get out of bed. Ordinarily my eyes tried adjusting to the bright
Grass tickles my bare feet, and the sultry night air caresses my skin as I stand facing the forest. With the moon full and glistening over the dew covered greenery, I am enraptured. The gentle breeze wraps around me like a lovers embrace and I am lost to my surroundings. The nights are beginning to cool with the new season and are a welcomed relief to the waning summer heat.
Baptism of Christ is a painting created by Francesco Albani from 1630 to 1635. ("Baptism of Christ - Francesco Albani - The Athenaeum." Baptism of Christ”). In this painting there is an image of the baptism of Christ and all of its surroundings. The reason for the creation of this portrait, is because Francesco Albani was influenced by the Council of Trent during the time he created this painting. The painting has a description of what seems to look like a half-naked person who is surrounded by what looks like a body of water and has another person pouring some type of liquid on top of his head. This image is the center importance of the peace because it’s what’s closer to the audience and doesn’t fade into the background.

As lofty clouds lower their shoulders against the horizon, the sky likes to have its way with me, a warm front’s humid body slides along my skin, gently whispering against the arch of my back to curl around my waist and stretch along my spine.
The sun shines through the small basement window of the house. It’s early morning beams piercing across the face of a young girl as she sleeps. It takes awhile for the brightness to penetrate her green eyes but when it does she stretches lazily under the covers closing those eyes for yet one more moment of dreams. She suddenly bolts upright as she remembers what today is.
Jacquelyn Barrett’s spookiest experience was, less than a year ago, she got a call from my oldest sister Hannah saying,”did you hear what happened to Grandpa Barrett?” For over two hours she was stuck inside of Citrus Valley Gym, playing with the boys volleyball team. Right after practice ended, her mom got a call from her dad and the next thing she remembers her mom saying “do you know?

This scenario relates to Gothic literature and Magical realism because it was a very surreal moment. These genres are similar because both genres blend reality and magical moments in one. Gothic literature is a setting that begins with bleak setting and has an ambiguous ending. Also it has a scary and mysterious feeling and makes you wonder what's going to happen next. It impacts the reader by putting intelligent words and a gloomy setting. A example of gothic literature is in the story “Where is here”. In the story “Where is Here” a stranger appears at the family's house and the family reacted with curiosity and concern(69). Magical Realism is a literary genre, therefore there is a realistic narrative and natural techniques, combine with surreal elements of dream or fantasy. Julio Cortazar’s “House Taken Over” is a good example of Magical Realism because both the brother and sister started to hear “noises” coming from a part of

A giant navy blue blanket pulls over the sky with shimmering stars sew on as buttons. The boundless sky above held varying hues of vermilion rays striking through the soot covered cotton balls. The rays provided a weird warmth and reassurance that they would come back again. However, with much of the warmth and reassurance, tears ultimately still rolled down my face much like the rain droplets run down the glass panes. The swing moves back and forth to the pace of the tip of my feet, kicking off the bare black mat floor. With each additional creak of the moving swing, the accumulation of tears and snot intensified. A tingling sensation finds itself in my bright ruby nose from the jarring wind.
