I was aboard on an airship, staring out in the window when I got a glimpse of you. At that mere second, I never knew that the word “perfect” really exists. You were there, sitting, fingers lazily stroking the spine of the book. But what captivated me the most were those hazel orbs staring intently at the leaf as if it was the most dazzling thing ever. How I wish I was that book.
I was aboard on an airship, eyes skimming over the words neatly imprinted in the book. One would get the idea that I was seriously reading the said book. But my mind was drifting over a boy, sitting meters away from me. He looks so handsome. Do I have a chance with him?
At that fateful meeting, one’s destiny was changed. The once hearts became a heart as the beating synchronized with the other. And soon enough, they will realize that for a wish to become true, someone else in the world will end up losing it, too.

The snow painted the lively streets of Shibuya, Tokyo as couples, hand in hand, pass the humungous Christmas tree displayed in the center. No single person was left unaccompanied except for a girl, standing 5’4 feet tall. Her hair was put up in a very neat bun. A few strands were left hanging, complimenting her face. Her petite body was clad in a very simple pink dress with laces at the bottom. No one would’ve been brave enough to go out alone in the couple-filled streets of Japan during Christmas. But it seems like fate had a different plan, for a man, waving his mitten-covered hands, approached the said girl.
“Took you long enough to prepare! Are you a girl or something?” No one would’ve expected the girl, Lucy Heartfilia, to be a princess because of her humble aura.
Beside her, Natsu Dragneel, smiled sheepishly as if he didn’t mind getting scolded by the said girl at all. Lucy just gave out a sigh as she handed a neatly wrapped gift towards Natsu. “Merry Christmas!” Lucy’s warm smile was enough to complete Natsu’s Christmas. Surely, he wouldn’t ask for more.

    On December 18, 2015 I had heard once that day that it was snowing. That crisp, pure snow was falling right outside the theater where 50 dancers, including myself, were rushing to get ready. I didn’t get to see it that day, but I wish I had. I was with two of the best friends you could ever ask for. Each of us was dressed in our own version of an 1800's party dress, like we always are when we preform Tchaikovsky's Classic Nutcracker. Abby's having an odd flower design over deep burgundy, Jadyn's had a full blue dress with an abnormal piece of cloth working as a chest plate, and mine could be used as a purple and gold checker board based on the pattern. Abby, Jadyn, and I were setting up the last of our props when we realized that a doll was missing.…

    The last paragraph at the same time also represents the prose as a whole: the life lesson, exploration, and emotion of love. The readers learn that one cannot trust anyone and can only trust oneself, as supported by the sentence “we are utterly open with no one”. Furthermore, the listing of “not mother and father, not wife or husband, not lover, not child, not friend” emphasizes that not even the closest person can be trusted, and that one can only trust one’s heart. Another life lesson is shown in “when young we think there will come one person who will savor and sustain us always”, meaning that when ones are all young, ones always believe in true love and the live-happily-ever-after stereotype, but in the end ones come to a realization that hearts can easily break in reality, and that true love may just be a fantasy. House metaphor is also presented by the “brick up” in the “you can brick up your heart as stout and tight and hard and cold and impregnable as you possibly can and down it comes in an instant”, and illustrating that even the strongest hearts can break, which is further justified by the run-on sentence using the repeated “and”s. The author then visualized some examples of emotion of love in the end to stimulate, engage, and communicate with the readers that the heart, a well-accepted common metaphor for emotion, reminds the readers of its…

    Poniewozik begins by stating that it is a nightmare for the young girls wanting to be princesses today. Society expects every little girl wants to be a princess. Poniewozik blames Hollywood for this. It’s true in recent decades that Hollywood has produced quite a few cinderella stories and also many other fairy-tail type projects. It’s not a bad thing for them to do this because they’re making a large profit off these projects. Princess fairytale stories and movies are surprisingly popular today. Poniewozik claims that we have come a long way from the girls-kick-ass-culture of just a few years ago (Poniewozik 666).…

    Far from Heaven

    Todd Haynes renders a delightful yet subtle touch to the theme of racism and heterosexuality in his 2002 award winning movie, Far From Heaven. The movie is set at the backdrop of 1957, a period when racism and orthodox feelings were at its peek in the society. The plot revolves around Cathy Whitaker who is shown as a good wife, good mother and a perfect homemaker. Her husband Frank is an executive at Magnatech. The film starts with the scene when Cathy gets a call from the local police about her husband who happens to be on the line. He says police mistook him for someone else and they are not leaving him alone. In the sequence of scenes that follows, Frank begins to stay late at office and develops obsession with the other men while Cathy develops love with Raymond Deagan, who is their late gardeners son as well a black man. Meanwhile Franks relationship with Cathy gets strained, and he turns to alcohol. Soon relationship between Cathy and Raymond leads to severe relationship between him and his daughter. Meanwhile Frank is not able to suppress his feelings as homosexual and falls in love with other man seeking divorce from Cathy. In the whole film, we could see double tension perpetuating among the protagonists desires with each scene portraying interracial romances or one or the other issue of the homosexuality. The pool scene which appears almost near the end of the movie carries the themes of race and homosexuality more clearly and very closely entangled within the film and is beautifully fused within the whole structure of film. This scene takes place at Miami where Frank and Cathy go to rejuvenate their married life. In the previous scene one has observed the stealthy look that passes between Frank and a handsome blond boy. In this pool scene, while Cathy is sitting just near the poolside, Frank has just finished some laps to catch his breath. While he is sitting on steps with his legs submerged in the waters, he…

    Langston Hughes, in his personal narrative “Salvation,” tells of his experience with being pressured by the adult figures in his life to be “saved from sin” and to “come to Jesus” even though he did not feel saved at all. In his piece written in 1925, Hughes’s purpose is to show his confusion and loss of faith through the need to please his elders and conform to their beliefs. Throughout the excerpt, Hughes conveys a childlike tone in order to highlight his uncertainty about religion and the influence of his elders on him. Hughes’s use of rhetorical devices such as imagery, figurative language, and word choice contribute to further emphasizing his purpose.…

    For my book report I read Heaven is for Real. This book is a biography of a young boy named Colton and his family and how Colton dies and goes to heaven for about 24 minutes in our time. Colton is not yet four years old in the book when his appendix bursts on the Burpo family trip. The reason they went on the trip in the first place was to celebrate the recovery of his father Todd’s kidney stone surgery and the recovery of his leg that he bashed in a softball game. So they went down to Greenly Colorado for a pastor board meeting in February of 2003, but the family made it into a family vacation too. Before the trip Colton was running a high fever and was throwing up but right before the trip it stopped. That is a sign of the appendix bursting soon, but they did not know that. Then during dinner it came back and he was throwing up uncontrollably. They then rushed him to the doctor to find that he needed immediate surgery. During the surgery Colton gets a glimpse of heaven.…

    In this essay Langston Hughes writes about a time where he actually believed he would be able to physically see, and feel Jesus Christ. Hughes starts by describing a conversation he had with his aunt at a revival service. While sitting in church Hughes is told by his aunt that he would see Jesus once he became blessed. As he watched other young sinners become saved, he didn’t not see Jesus as he anticipates his arrival. When it becomes Langston’s turn, it is clear that he has many doubts. To keep the peace he goes along with the process of being saved. As a reader this may sound quite humorous, but Hughes makes sure there is no misunderstanding of age difference. Langston Hughes makes sure that readers understand that he was only twelve years of age during this time period. Hughes also makes it clear that this revival situation had a major impact on his beliefs in Jesus. Although some readers may understand the content other readers believe this essay criticizes the religion of Christianity.…
