In My World Time : A Short Story

I often wonder if time is just an illusion. A distraction that keeps us on our toes. Keeps us waiting.

New ideas derived from self-reflection enable us to develop in ways that are spiritually linked to the future. The inexorable passage of adulthood is established by the motif of time, indicating that life is continuously moving forward. The personification of time “guiltless minute hand” suggest that time is not responsible for our future, but we are. Additionally, the dysphemistic personification of “time was killed” foreshadows the cessation of childhood. Eventually, the

The concept of time is a phenomenon that has been met with much discourse, but is also an invaluable commodity. I began to understand how much of a commodity time is when I was in seventh grade. That was the year my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I witnessed a man recovering from bankruptcy, struggling to support a family with five children, while attempting to pass his medical board exams, defeat all odds. By the end of that year all of those obstacles were no more, and with the help of my mother they were able to move us out of that socioeconomic environment. That’s when I understood what time meant to me, opportunity. After witnessing my father battle I vowed to never quit and to make the most of my time. Through medicine my

They both said union “okay.” They both took a bit into the muffin. “Mmmmmmm, good,” they said.

We live in a world where time is something that humans made in order to worship it. It makes everything in our very organized world work better and more efficiently, but that doesn’t mean it is all good. In About Time one man has the ability to travel back in time to a point in his own life. When he, Tim Lake, travels back in time he is like the people in Einstein’s Dreams who get sent back in time by debri causing a ripple. He is careful to not do anything too extreme because the slightest action could create a huge difference when he returns to the farthest point in time he has gone. For example, Tim wanted to change the fortune of his sister by not having her meet a certain guy, and by doing this he completely changed everything about

“Sorry. You fell asleep so fast I thought you must have been exhausted. So I thought I would let you sleep for a little. Mya sat straight up. “How long have have I been asleep?”

It’s a wonderful place, this world or, at least what we get to see of it. From the beautiful gardens of roses to the white tops of the mountains, each piece being unique. Venturing out into the world and seeing these remarkable places takes time and patience. Every aspect of our lives takes time out of it each day. Be it the blunt and direct boss at work or the shy, passive Girl Scout selling cookies each of these encounters takes time to attend to and appreciate. Each person we encounter has a place in time. Every so often these events may make someone feel that maybe they have been here before or they know something about this moment but they are just not sure what. Maybe it is the feeling of Déjà vu or maybe it is just them passing by their “other life”. To know the answer to this they will just have to live their lives and see where it takes them through their travels. Alan Lightman’s “Einstein’s Dreams” focuses on the twenty-six year old genius, Albert Einstein, who has some unique dreams while discovering his theory of time and relativity. Being the dreams of a genius mind it is not an impossible stretch to think that time can stand still the closer you are to the center of it, or that the world will come to an end as time runs out. These concepts may seem farfetched to the average person, but, to a genius like Einstein, it’s understandable to wonder about people who cannot remember from one day to the next or ponder the effects of time measured not in quantity but

This time I am sure I changed. Learning from my mistakes and failures. To start off I had changed the layout of FW5. Reading the rubric came as a shock. It finally made sense on how I was stumbling on. So with that in mind I started utilizing transitions. As I used transitions, moving between ideas became significantly less awkward. I also came to learn variations between sentences helped. I changed my sentences to intricate or minimalistic, style of sentences or formating. Looking back i realized i used evidence wrongly. The ideas were unsupportive or jumbled. It became helpful to use idea organizers or mind maps. Using this new knowledge I rewritten my FW5 with a little more

This essay had alot of really meaningful sentences that really hit me and made me wonder certain things. When Alex said “humans are mere puppets on a string under the control of time and on the stage of earth”, it made me think of pinocchio and of the muppets, but it also made me think of how we aren't in control of time. Alex the author talks about how time feels like it slowly goes away when you have a hobby and i can totally relate to this because when i'm doing something i like i get so caught up in the moment that i don't even feel the time pass by. The author also says how when he was little, he was able to develop that mindset. How he was able to have fun and play outside and it felt like time stopped, but at the same time he wanted

Time is a self-evident perception of intangible human construct. A week consists of days, which consists of hours, which consists of minutes, and so forth infinitely; However, time is much more than a measurement or fleeting notion given to each living organism. It is an existential entity that resides outside of the human mind and its attempted comprehension. Its fundamental nature is not one of transience, but one of forward motion, where it not the past that is prepared for, but the future. The passing of time is continuous, with the arrow of time always pointing ahead. But what exactly happens when time passes? The rock band, Chicago, asks this question in their hit song, “Does Anybody Really Know What Time it is?” in order to protest the human tendency to live for the future, and the trivial character of the time-driven capitalist structure.

Dan arrives home and gives Linda a quick kiss and heads to the gas station. While he is there, he goes on multiple vision trips. Soc tells him to remember that the time is always now and the place is always here. Joy comes to town that weekend and the three of them go on a picnic. Dan reveals to Joy that is he retiring gymnastics but she doesn’t think Dan’s path in life is big enough for her to go along. Soc erases all the memories of Joy out of Dan’s mind. Dan and Soc go running up a mountain one night and Soc collapses. His heart beating, Dan begs for his own life to be taken instead of Soc’s. The old man’s heart starts beating once again. Dan carries Soc to the hospital where Soc tells him to become a teacher and to forget him. Dan moves

Oh my! Where has the time gone, and who are the keepers of time? Have they absconded with it, along with our dreams, our realities, our nightmares? Will they return with it, or shall we just sit here awaiting the end like two fishermen waiting for a nibble in a dried up lake? The question remains unanswered just like many others, but wait we must, because we are still at the end of a long line and our number isn't up yet, and this is one line where line-jumpers are more than welcome.

Kate Chopin’s impressive literary piece, The Story of an Hour, encompasses the story of an hour of life, an hour of freedom. We must seize the day and live our lives to the fullest without any constraints. This very rich and complete short story carries a lot of meaning and touches a readers feelings as well as mind. Throughout this piece much symbolism is brought about, which only helps us to understand the meaning and success of Kate Chopin’s work. Kate allows her reader to think and allows us to understand the meaning of her story with the different uses of symbols such as heart troubles, the armchair, the open window, springtime, and the calm face and goddess of victory. We eventually realize little by little that Mrs. Mallard

The voice in my head, normally so calm and controlled, was screaming at me to run. That was exactly what was going through my five year old mind when I walked around the hallway corner to see my mother being beat to her death by my biological father, Brax Magnus. As I tried so hard to stay and defend my mom, I could not help but panic and so I ran. I ran so far until I seen a small gas station. I went inside to find a phone, but realized I did not know who to call. The cashier, seeing that I was crying and looked panic, walked over to me.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Actually, scratch that first bit. There was no way, considering the way my summer had been going so far, that it could ever be considered the best of times. I mean, I was sure a certain someone (that ‘certain someone’ being my arch nemesis, Jasmine) out there was having the time of their life, lazily basking in the sun by a pool glittering with the rays of the sun atop a luxurious Caribbean-bound cruise, a cool drink complete with a paper parasol by their side. Unfortunately, not all of us were living the high life just yet.
