Eighth Doctor

Her dimple piercings reflected the overhead light, highlighting her pearly-white teeth, in turn bringing attention to her rather pointed canines. Smiling, Doctor Saito decided, did not suit his new patient… at least, not the kind of smile she was flashing now. She looked somewhere feral, a bit animalistic. Even less human than she already appeared, what with her onyx-colored skin, pure white hair, eyebrows

Charlotte Oxnam A personal Malady Essay I never understood having gym class in middle school. Having to change into athletic clothes and then spend 40 minutes having a teacher explain an activity to you that you will never have enough time left in class to actually complete. But the worst part of gym class was the hell that was the locker rooms. Having to strip myself down, completely vulnerable, in front of all of my peers is one of the most terrifying things I have done in my life. It was even

Prior to composing the oratorio Song of the Forests op. 81 in 1948, Shostakovich composed the film music Michurin that was about the life of horticulturist Ivan Vladimirovich Michurin (1855-1935). The film music encouraged Shostakovich to compose another work based on the same rural theme. Below is his statement during the aired interview in 1955 that confirms it: “My work in cinematography has proven beneficial for my activity as a composer. Indeed, a number of my compositions are a direct outcome

Aaron Copland is a twentieth century American composer, teacher, and conductor. Schuman (1980), refers to Copland as the “Dean of American Composers”, which he attributes to his stylistic contributions to American culture including film. His works includes songs, chamber music, ballets, theater, symphony orchestra, solos, and chorus. Copland’s approach to composing included twelve-tone, a basic exhibition of serialism. Crawford & Hamberlin (2013), describe this style as organizing twelve pitches

herself into a group that openly mocked and hurled jealous insults at her. I cannot look at that person as myself, because I am no longer her. The culmination of these false friendships and façades of fitting in occurred on the second to last day of eighth grade. I had seen the warning signs that these people were not good to me before, but I ignored them for the sake of having a place. But it was in the moment that they tore down the identity I had built for myself that the curtain was pulled back

Welcome parents, administrators, and classmates to the eighth grade promotion. After surviving through three years of essays, assignments, and tests, we finally graduated. Everyone here has accomplished so much in the past few years. For me, I was able to wake up early roughly 540 times. If I have learned one thing during my time at MJS, it is that I’m not a morning person. Waking up early was presumably the most challenging part of middle school, and in September, I will be forced to wake up even

When I was in junior high, I found my group of friends. I thought we would all stay close forever, but things changed throughout our years in high school. I went from feeling like I had a family to feeling like I been left behind and forgotten. It was the start of seventh grade, and I walked into my first period; it was athletics class. The first thing I noticed was this shy and innocent looking girl in the corner. I walked up to her and said "Hey didn’t you go to Cryar Intermediate?". At the time

Middle School boys are the worst, trust me, I’ve experienced both sides of it. I’ve been slammed into lockers and well, one time I threw a kid into a locker and I promise, it was totally justified. Anyway, things don’t get much better with freshman boys in high school, they’re just as insecure as they were in middle school (trust me, very insecure!!) except now there are guys three or four years older than them instead of one or two. By their sophomore and junior year, they’ve actually built up some

I hate planes, I always have. Ever since I was little I had a fear of ever doing an one of those unsafe pieces of metal flying through the sky. I made a promise to myself that I would never go on a plane, and I never thought that I would ever break that promise. I never like just giving up on something, like a promise. But, I really should have kept that promise. Because, if I did keep the promise to myself, I wouldn’t hear the screaming. I wouldn’t see all the crying. I wouldn’t have been

When I was in 6th grade I had gotten kicked out of boarding school. It was the worst thing that ever happen to me in my whole life it changed my whole life around. In boarding school everything was done for you. You had a schedule for everything you did everything at a cetain time. Also at boarding school it was like a family a bunch of brothers and sisters you grow up with I knew my classmates better than i knew my own sisters. When I got kicked out I was devastated because I knew I was going to
