First Time One Hand
1,872 words
"Tuesday night again. Time for another band
practice", I thought to myself as I ate supper.
You see, I'm a member of a community band that I
joined a few years ago after leaving high school.
I figured it would be a good way to keep up with
the music that had been such a big part of my life
at school. I also thought it might help me find a
girlfriend, though I'd never had any luck meeting
girls in any of the other groups I'd been in
before. But you never know; your luck has to
change sometime. Th...

Is our negative branding of narcissism a defense
against a demanding call of the soul to be loved?
Narcissism is the egotistic sense of
self-importance, but paradoxically underneath this
attitude, the narcissist is simply a victim of a
fragile low self-esteem. It is the underlying
sense of inferiority that is the real problem of
the narcissist, and their pretense is just a
disguise used to cover their deeper feelings of
inadequacy. Since narcissists are often incapable
of asserting genuine self-...

Made My First Shortest Part One

As the unfriendly, ice-cold wind travelled
precipitously over the neglected heath, I made my
first brave step towards the enormous entrance
leading into the settlement of those abandoned
souls. While I continued at a steady pace towards
the screeching, corroded gateway I felt the
irregular and jagged rocks as they were slowing me
from reaching up to the gate. The closer I seemed
to get towards the overpowering, fully grown
gateway the darker the area became with the
stealthily moving shadows. Wh...

by telling the it that he could destroy the sun
merely by closing his eyes, so there's no need for
the sun to feel at all 'reverend and strong. '

Kenneth Branagh Robin Williams

Often when a movie is adapted from a play, there
are several aspects which are adjusted or
completely lost. This often depends on the
directors point of view as well as the casting
director. In Kenneth Branagh s movie Hamlet only a
small number of aspects were lost from the
movement of the play to the movie. The movie was
word for word of the play with the exception of a
few moved silique. Therefore, the plot or order
did not change. The scene where Hamlet meets his

Ethan And Mattie Pickle Dish

Symbolism can give additional meaning to a variety

symbolism creates an even deeper meaning than
