High School I Played School I Played Rousseau
1,956 wordsHenri Rousseau, the Dounier, as many people called him lived in a world of his own. It was a world filled with ghosts and goblins, eternal Sunday paintings, and simple worries.

Thing With Feathers Amazing Grace Hope
872 wordsThey Cry. They Suffer. People Die. They Pray (131). Throughout Amazing Grace, a bestseller by Jonathon Kozol, I was torn between the feelings of hope and hopelessness.

Rock Star Hair Mute Button Light
743 wordsHis face was tranquil and still, the force of fortitude in the midst of the chaotic flickering of light that danced across his lips. Illuminated as violence played across the screen of the television, he lay at rest across the room: a distance not unconquerable in terms of metrics, but invincible in measures that mattered.
