Rose By Ben Lair Honorable Mentions: Sam Burton, Kurtis Stuckey One Awakening “I wonder what happened to him?” “I don’t know but it must have been pretty bad.” “Wait, I think he is waking up!” And so I open my eyes to discover a group of four scientists. I am hooked onto several machines. Really I am lucky to be alive. I don’t even know why I have to be lucky to be alive. I don’t know anything at all. I suppose this is the hospital I have been brought to after my “accident”. The room is almost completely white, as if all color has been sent outside the walls. The scientists clothing is just as colorless as the walls. The humans here seem to not want any color on their world at all. Luckily my clothes have not been touched, so I am not as bleak as these scientists are. “Ugh . . . What …show more content…
“When the first of the resistance was created we fled to the hills as exiles. Here we could lose the soldiers through the caves and escape. Soon our numbers grew and many were run out of their homes. For those who could not be seen in public we created the city of resistance to allow them a comfortable life, and possibly be draftable soldiers if required. Anyone who has not been caught before is able to become a spy and lay in wait for the day when you would come so that when you came we would be ready to lead an offensive force.” We encountered several people on the way. They all seemed happier than the people under the rose’s rule even though they had less than them. It must have been the color. As everything under the rose’s rule is colorless it’s much more colorful and fun. “As you can see,” continued Dyten, “most everyone is quite happy with the city and though it is not as nice or clean as other cities are these people are free. And that is very important to them.” “It just has a better feel to it than the other city I was at before. I don’t know what it is but it feels more . . . alive.” I

A common mistake individuals make is that they describe sex and gender as the one in the same. Sex is assigned at birth and is based on a person’s genital appearance. Gender is a social construction; it reflects a culture meaning associated with a performance of femininity or masculinity. Sarah Rosetta Wakeman was born with the sex of female but as she grew older she would be seen associate with the gender of male. Wakeman was a simple farm girl from central New York and was the oldest of seven children.

In John Sullivan’s essay, “The Comeback Of Axl Rose,” he introduces us to an intriguing man named William Bruce Rose Jr. or otherwise known as Axl Rose. He is described as looking unusual and resembling a thin, redheaded woman, but when Sullivan sees Axl Rose on stage he notices a change in his appearance. He had gotten thicker and gained more muscle which took away from his feminine looks. However, the best way to describe Axl Rose is to talk about where he is from, “He is from nowhere. That sounds coyly rhetorical—in this day and age it’s even a boast: socioeconomic code for I went to a second-tier school and had no connections and made all this money myself.” (127). Although this isn’t what Sullivan meant when he said that “he is from nowhere,”
Is being attached to something in a great abundance a bad thing? Well, it can be in some cases. Undoubtedly, many people in today’s society live constantly in angst with the fear of losing their loved ones and cope with their anxiety in a variety of ways. However, while many methods are accepted by society’s standards as of dealing with their stressors, some individuals have more extreme methods of coping with their separation anxiety. For instance, in “A Rose for Emily”, the main character, Emily Grierson, loses her father and fears a similar event will occur with her assumed lover. For that reason, it is easy for readers to assume that Emily has a separation anxiety. In this story by William Faulkner, she takes what modern day society would consider drastic measures to make sure the two never leave her.
Author Daniel Pink argues in his book Drive- The surprising truth about what motivates us that motivation is mostly intrinsic. He defines the three categories of motivation – autonomy, mastery and purpose. For the author, “old fashioned” methods such as “carrots and sticks”, a.k.a. rewards and punishment, should not be regarded by companies, as money is the dominant factor.
The first resistance began in the 1830s when Nat Turner, who was an enslaved preacher and mystic led a small revolt in Virginia (Jones 283-284). Nat Turner and his group of bandits went on a killing spree when they realized that no matter what they tried, revolution was the only path to freedom. Nat Turner and his followers killed any white man they saw (about 60). However, Turner was captured after months of evading and executed. But, as the fire was now ignited, only the fuel was missing.
What motivates you, the feeling of self-satisfaction, knowing you did something you enjoy doing or being rewarded for doing something you hate? What is the difference between Motivation 2.0 to Motivation 3.0, according to Daniel H. Pink, motivation 2.0 doesn't work in the 21st century whether it is in the workforce or as a student. He explains motivation 2.0 as extrinsic or reward/punishment and motivation 3.0 as intrinsic or self-satisfaction. For my career, I believe that I depend and use motivation 3.0, since I love the feeling of self-satisfaction.

Subtle and overt forms of resistance exist in every revolution, certain strategies will more effective than others. Resistance takes form in many different ways, whether that is through small rejections of life conditions, syncretism, or all out bloody rebellion. Resistances can be short lived events or a constant continuation of resistance (Wright, 1992).
I had been in hospital rooms many times before, but this was the first time that I was the patient anxiously awaiting their results. I sat on the hospital bed and nervously kicked my legs back and forth as I stared at the door, willing the doctor to walk through it. After a long wait I grew tired of this, and shifted focus to my surroundings. I had been admitted to Scottish Rite hospital, a branch of the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Being a children’s hospital meant that the nurses wore cartoon print scrubs, the walls were painted in bright colors, the televisions were always turned to either Disney Channel or Nickelodeon, and everyone treated you like royalty. They did everything they could to mask the fact that it was indeed a hospital. However, I was too old to be fooled. I knew exactly where I was and what that meant, and that was that nothing good could come from being here.
Who brought me here? Out of impulse, my hand travels to my face, pressing the throbbing area on my right temple. I felt a scar and flinched at the pain. I tried to get up. Once I stepped on the cold, white tiles, I instantly fell back on to the bed. My body, engulfed in pain as if objecting my decision to stand up. I lay there pathetically, waiting for the pain to wash away. Staring at the ceiling, illuminated with a white fluorescent light. Perhaps waiting for some help by the hospital staff. I still didn't know how I got here, who took me here, how long I've been here.
“No, seriously, it’s exhilarating. It’s like your worries are literally dropping onto the sidewalk below.”
I’ve finally made it. When you first land here the immediate difference is all around you whizzing around you creating a sense of life. It 's a sense that you rarely have in a small town it 's bigger I can’t quite obtain a hold of it. It moves fast all through the night and during the day. It peaks in all of my senses to create a brand new sense of the life of the city.
