The day had come. It was one of the most important days of my life and I was ready to face it. It, so coincidentally happened on a Halloween night. Halloween was one of the scariest days of the year. Little children would knock on the door of each house, saying
‘Trick-or-Treat’, asking politely for the adults to put candy into their bags. I was finally a teenager and was afraid of nothing. I found trick-or-treating boring and pathetic and thus, I scheduled something more effective for that day. Little did I know what was going to happen... I had registered for the annual 2013 computer challenge known as ‘Sniper Attack’.
Millions of people from all over the world had signed up and only one winner would be crowned. After much persuasion from my cousin, he had signed me up as I had promised to reward him with 40 percent of the money if I won.
To me, computer games is what I live life for. Without it, I will not have the motivation to do things anymore. Life to me is bleak, dull and unpromising without computer games. I celebrate the day when Konrad Zuse, the inventor of the modern computer was born.
Without his creativity and innovation, I will not be here today. Unlike myself, my parents detest me playing computer games and often ask me to study. They would badger me at least thrice every day to do my homework. Their continuous droning got me vexed and I turned a deaf ear to them.
After much waiting, the time had come. “Beep!” My computer made a sound to signal that the match was starting. When I was playing the game, my head was like a ping-pong ball bouncing on the waves. My fingers danced over the keyboard as I shot person after person down, clearing each stage. A ripple of excitement flowed up my spine. I laughed to myself and continued with the game. This game was like my life and I was not going to throw it away.
My hair had been even messier than

    Modern Halloween has become less literal about ghosts and ghouls and more about costumes and candy. The holiday is overflowing with action on its reserved night. Kids are so anxious to drag their parents out the door, show off their creative costumes, and ring their first doorbell for a fun-filled night of trick-or-treating as soon as the dismissal bell for school rings. High school students wait until the whole group of friends is together before they head out into the misty darkness with only the flickering street light to guide them. Meanwhile, adults are sipping on their witches brew at a local party or nightclub.…

    Now this is all according to a “New Life” research on history of Halloween. The other interesting concept which parallels in this way is the samhain was a time of the year “the ghosts of the dead were able to mingle with the living.” They lit bonfires to guide them on their journey and keep them away from those living.…

    Video games not only help people learn and think in different ways, they also help branch off new ideas of social interaction. Video games show that becoming a creator/ inventor can be an attainable goal for youth that have been told otherwise. Games and the internet have created a better complex society that explores different individuals mindsets and creates a sense of inclusion.Without the creation of video games, many of the opportunities discussed could cease to exist. Video games show that people aren't alike and that their differences can be what helps a society strive and…

    During a revolution both sides have to be resilient and hard work is key to overcoming the opposition. This statement is portrayed in many different texts, like in Animal Farm when the animals kick Jones out of the farm and they’re preparing for the harvest, the animals have to work hard and be resilient “the implements were designed for human beings and not for animals” (Orwell 19). The implements they use symbolize the “reigns”, or the control of the farm, they don’t have any prior experience to run the farm which requires them to adapt to survive, which shows resiliency and hard work. This theme is implied in many different works, such as “The Rebellion of the Magical Rabbits” by Ariel Dorfman, in the story, after the monkey has to use the erasing fluid many times due to the fact that rabbits keep on sneaking into the pictures, his paws get injured. “His paws peeling from the harsh erasing fluid” (Dorfman 119). The peeling paws represent the hardships the people that are being overthrown face, but still he continues trying to please, which shows resilience and hard work. This theme is shown in other pieces like “The Raid” by John Steinback. When when Dick and Root get beat up for fighting for their cause “‘they bust my arm and a couple of ribs’” (Steinbeck 13), they don't regret anything and are ready to continue to fight, this is obviously resilience and hard work. Another work that shows this is “The Little Red Guard” by Anchee Min, when she is ordered to denounce her teacher, she was scared and at the verge of tears, but she got the words out “You are a wolf in sheep's clothing” (Min 6) this is resilience because she had to bounce from the shock of denouncing her teacher and deliver. During a revolution, the side with more resilience and hard work usually wins.…

    The video game world has often been a form of escapism for me from a young age. I often seem to stick to fantasy games that allow me to entertain myself in another make believe world where there are challenges to complete and an alternative dimension to let my mind go free from the common day to day stresses of school and university life. I much prefer escaping in a world and creating a new personality online where there are no boundaries on what I achieve compared to perhaps the more popular format of beating other players in shoot em ups or sports. For me video games give a sense of thrill and unwinding without having to go to the trouble of travelling far and spending the money to try get that real life thrill. Predominately whilst doing studies it allowed me to feel thousands of miles away from my academic stress for a few hours a day and bring me back when I needed to get work done.…
