Later at night as I was brushing my teeth, I began to reflect on my experience being beautiful, thus far. Okay, truthfully, the pros totally outweighed the cons. I felt semi more confident in myself, the general public respected me more (sometimes), boys ogled at me (discreetly and not so discreetly), I received more compliments (mostly on my physical appearance), and I kind of held a certain sense of power. Why did gorgeous girls complain? They had it way easier. Alright, there were some minimal

As a person ages, their perspective on life changes.

When you are young, you think that there is one plain cut, simple, black and white answer, but as

Insanity in a Sane World Holden Caulfield is an insane person in a sane world. What is insanity? Insanity is when you’re in a state of mind that prevents normal perception, behavior or social interaction. This state is mental illness. Insanity is when you do things in deranged or outrageous ways that could frighten people, or make people feel uncomfortable when around you. It’s when you do things out of the ordinary; yet feel as if they are ordinary. Insanity could come about when you’re depressed

The Home Beneath the House There’s just something about home that is so comforting and innocent. Maybe it’s the great oak tree in the backyard that you used to swing on when you were young. Or maybe it’s the kitchen where memories were made while making a homemade pizza with the whole family. Regardless, it doesn’t matter what it was it’s just something we all could call home. When I reflect on home, I see the giant pine trees lining up alongside the vacant gravel road. As I pull into my long gravel

The play depicts the feelings and thoughts of the people of their time. Their feelings are different then what we see today in our lives. The family had to deal with poverty and racism. Not having enough money and always being put down because of the color of their skin held them back from having a lot of self-respect and dignity. I think that Mama was the one who had the most pride and held the family together. Ruth was being prevented from having a baby because of money problems, Walter was bringing

My grandmother was a tough lady. At just over five feet tall, she was the kind of woman that you saw on the street and knew to move out of her way. Her demeanor was strict, her hands tied with thick blue veins, criss­crossing over her thin, frail fingers.

No one ever thinks about what they are going to do when they are old. Getting old is just a way of life that no one thinks about until it's too late. It all started when we went to Kentucky for our traditional dinner at grans. I adored the trip up to Gran's home, just for the fact that it was in the middle of nowhere and we got to pass three sparkling waterfalls. There was always a game of “first one to find a deer wins”, which was quite self explanatory if you ask me. I would always lose because
