Katie Nolan Dialectical Journal

Lila lay on her bed staring at the ceiling thinking over the events of the evening. The more she recalled, the more she was mortified for acting like a love sick, slobbering idiot in front of not only the most beautiful man she’d ever met, but he was her best friends cousin of all things! Lila groaned, burying her head into her pillow. She tried to console herself by thinking she would never see him again. She could avoid him by simply not going back there. It wouldn’t be too difficult to do. She would never have the guts to venture to a club like that on her own. This is exactly the reason that Rachael had taken her there. Lila was trying to convince herself he was charming to all the ladies. He worked at a night club. Of course he would

The theme the author is stating is how children are oblivious and ignorant to the world around them. They are usually self-centred and only focus on their own goals of survival,

The creaking of the wagon and steady clip-clop clip-clop rhythm of the horse's pacing gait relax Gaedbre; his mind wandering peacefully over the natural beauty around him. Every now and then he issued a "tsk tsk" or "hup!, Falhofnir, hup!" to keep the horse moving along. Falhofnir was a large sorrel draft horse with flaxen mane and tail, white blaze, socks and feathering. He and Gulfaxi, his twin brother, were a matched pair who usually worked as a team, but this was a one horse job.

1.The most important scene in the book was when Ishmael and his friends stole food from the children. This was an important scene because this is where Ishmael really becomes more of an animal living for survival rather than a boy of humanity. It leads him to become more of a robot, brainwashed by war. This leads into the making of the horrible decisions to come. This scene relates to the rest of the book since it’s the first act of truly transforming into a soldier and how it affected him as it is the baseline of all the actions yet to come. Though it is not an extensive scene it significantly changes his and his friends outlook on the civil war and what it can do to innocent people. This is a few reasons I felt the scene where the boys

Nico's hands shook in his lap. Was he really going to do this? Yes. Yes he would. He needed this.

In high school, I struggled with both math and physics. Between the two, physics was more challenging for me than math. When my father realized I was failing both subjects (with flying colors) he immediately hired a tutor for me. Prior to getting help, I spent a lot of time in circles trying to figure out one question after another. For some reason I could not get the hang of physics. I started to feel embarrassed about not know how to solve my math and physics problems when I realized that one of my closest girlfriend was doing well in both subjects. After taking a quiz, I would hide my grade from my classmates because I was so embarrassed about it. When my father received my first quarter report card he was very disappointed

"Can I see you to the hotel?" Milano offered when he went to the door and opened it.

"I'm sorry if I offended you. I just thought that you might like the pleasure, and wanted to give it to you. But understand that you're not ready, and you need emotions. I can wait..." the young man decided, getting out of Veronica’s bed.

Based on Harper's Magazine article, Daisy Miller it's portrayed as a coquette, a flirt.

Annie wakes to the sharp, piercing sound of eroded metal scraping against the ground beneath her, and she opens her eyes to see Armin standing there, accompanied by the two minions he’d brought with him the day before. “I trust you slept well?”

I love the freedom that this book gives through the true meaning of work and why the Lord has called us to do it. God did not put us over creation in order to beat it down or battle against it, but for the purpose of maximizing the potential that there is withheld in it. Through doing this, we are following in God's footsteps as he created "chaos out of order” through the formless body that was in the beginning, as Keller explains. Through viewing the world in this mindset, we can see that all work is meaningful as we are following in the footsteps on God in his original creation of the world. No matter the field of work we are in, we are called to use that work in order to better serve humankind. Now we can see the gardener, the janitor, the

One day a prince from Troy randomly arrived at Amyklai. He brought gives and claimed he wanted to worship Apollo at the altar Menelaus had.
