“Louis your break ended 5 minutes ago, get back to work.” Louis screamed from the back room, slamming his phone down defeatedly, “Zayn I hope you know you're the reason I didn't beat my record on flappy bird, I hope you know you're the reason all my dreams are shattered and my poor, poor, lonely- did I say poor? heart is shattered on the floor because I will never feel the success o-” “Jesus Christ Lou, shut the fuck up and get back to work,” Zayn rolled his eyes, adding, “and will you delete that

two people who would have most definitely been put in Inferno: Heinrich Himmler and Charles Arthur “Pretty Boy” Floyd. Himmler was a key leader in the Nazi Party, led the SS, and oversaw the operation of the German concentration camps that claimed the lives of millions. Floyd was a delinquent from childhood; he

“Ramon? Ramon, are you okay? Nani ga okotta?” Toshiro said. He yelled into the phone, demanding that Ramon say something, until finally the call disconnected. Toshiro sat in his black office chair frozen in place, his silver eyes wide and his hands slightly shaking. I can’t believe something happened to Ramon, especially soon after Kole was taken. What am I going to do? I mean I want to find Kole, but the information Ramon gave me, gives me no leads. Then I don’t even know what’s happened to Ramon

Ayana Mathis graduated from Iowa Writers' Workshop and received the Michener-Copernicus Fellowship. What Ayana Mathis didn’t know is that her first novel, The Twelve Tribes of Hattie, would shoot her immediately into success. Her book received remarkable awards such as a New York Times Bestseller and a New York Times Notable Book of the Year 2013 award, as well as having been recommended by Oprah Winfrey and included for Oprah's Book Club 2.0. As visiting faculty at the Iowa Writer's Workshop, Ayana

today teenagers because they have to figure out if they like boy or girls, and if they will be accepted by their family, and friends in our society. The show Pretty Little Liars shows us that we can all live in today society with questioning who we want to be with. Waite states, “She’s a teenaged girl… they’re all moody and unpredictable” (Waite 2). I think that it should not matter if you are a girl or a boy because we all can get pretty moody and unpredictable when it comes to our friendship, love

yourself, not what others expect of you.” Correspondingly, Scott Westerfeld evokes a similar belief in his novel, The Uglies. Inside a society of professed uglies, individuals are segregated by the ideological pretties. Ideally, the authorities of the community anticipate all citizens to become pretty surgically. However, their expectations are not valued by all. Moreover, The Uglies, in addition to two ancillary texts, “The Art of Resilience” by Hara Marano, and “The Third and Final Continent” by Jhumpa

considers “attractive”. You are called “ugly” or a “pretty” and treated differently based on your looks. In my opinion, this is very wrong. No one should be judged based on the way they look. Everyone should just be accepted for who they are and not be judged by who they are on the outside. Tally says in the book, “What’s inside you, matters more.” I think the author had Tally say that to prove his point even more; that

If I said that reading was important to me right now, I would definitely be lying. I can’t sit down for extended periods of time and enjoy a good book like I used to. When I was in elementary school, and even when I was going into high school, I was never seen without a book. When I was younger I could finish a new book every single week.

Who I Look Up To The Most The person I look up to the most is Pretty Boy Fredo is because he was born and raised in a ruff town as he calls the hood. He was able to get to where he is right now when he could've easily given up and did some bad stuff.
