I stood in awe as his body dissipated into the air. I had to change the cycle. The timer turned in the blink of an eye. I studied his book he had left behind. How many more had there been of me? What caused this life and death cycle? I couldn´t die, I had just been created. I made him again the same way he had made me. We were all different yet the same, the same cycle over and over again. I remembered his fiery orange and brown eyes, his dull blue striped skin, his old leather vest, his tall pointed ears, our strange teeth, and our unique F-hole markings that we shared. I was going to bring him back. I was hard at work as the timer slowly spilled grains of sand, his life was now in my hands. Every stitch was precisely sewn, his

  • A Time to Kill

    915 Words  | 2 Pages

    Twenty years ago Don Henley sang a song called “The End of the Innocence,” and portrayed a coming of age scenario. In Henley’s song, he sings the lines, “Offer up your best defense/ but this is the end/ this is the end of the innocence.” The disputable age-of-accountability permeates American society. In the essay, “Too Immature for the Death Penalty,” Paul Raeburn offers his defense into the chemical and environmental make-up of juveniles in their decision-making processes. However, the issue of personal accountability, or an end of innocence, is never brought up. Regardless of age, Americans cannot avoid decisions, because decisions determine destinies. Individuals choose either the path of wisdom or the path of folly, and no one can postpone or sidestep these choices. When does responsibility begin and accountability end? While juveniles’ brains may not be fully developed, juveniles must be held accountable for their actions. No matter what age group is involved, murder is still murder, and requires the death penalty to enforce the consequences of the crime.

  • Reincarnation In Darren Aronofsky's Cloud Atlas And The Fountain

    1882 Words  | 4 Pages

    The concept of reincarnation is present through countless forms in media and cultures around the world. Defined as the idea that the soul is reborn in a different body or form after death, reincarnation can simply be a belief or even used as a coping mechanism in the face of death. In David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas and Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain, they explore reincarnation and how a person’s disposition towards death influences their actions and attitudes in specific ways, whether it be fear, acceptance or denial. Split between six different timelines and characters, Cloud Atlas follows their lives and how they all connect together. The Fountain, however, explores the life of a scientist across three centuries and his desire to save his wife. Although Cloud Atlas and The Fountain share

    With a body he had no former association with he bent to pick up an organic part. Most of the outer coating had been stripped away and only the mechanical structure was left. Like a paleontologist discovering a new species, he inspected the part and tried to picture what kind of creature it was. When nothing came to mind he dropped it back into the sand. With nobody around for him to interact with, he chose to remain still and search for answers internally, starting with the last recorded memory. It was a small file with not much information, detailing the few interactions he had been fortunate enough to have since his beginning. Voices filled his internal log, conversations of places and plans, mostly frivolous and nothing of use to him now.

  • Jim's Personal Journey in Fly Away Peter

    981 Words  | 2 Pages

    ... his father, seen thorough Imogen?s eyes: ?glaring at her?balefully?with?deep hatred for everything he saw?? Imogen, like Jim, is struck with an understanding that there is always an element of mystery in a person?s character. As Jim cannot understand fully what his father was like, Imogen questions: ?what was his grief like?? To Imogen, Jim is still living in her image of him, the image of the new sport in the surfer is an image of the future, which is concurrent in her mind. Looking to the future, living in the present, remembering the past is the message Malouf is conveying to us, that in one sense we never die, but are always part of an eternal ?cycle? of existence. Our three passages have focused on Jim?s own inner personal journey, curtailed by his death, but as we know, he too, has found his place in the universe, as part of the cycle of life and death.

    The entity of a living being bears a soul, given by the creators themselves. Having the power to defy physical harm. The soul of the dead entity exits the body, having a weakened soul. The soul moves into a realm of “mending”, most commonly referred to as Zeneon. The soul slowly restores its body as it unconsciously rebuilds and creates a new body, flawless and resembling the original body. The once deconstructed body will make its way back to Alvaeron.

    It was a dark and stormy night, and I could still feel its presence. The soporific words crawling up my neck. Just enough to let my imagination wander. His spirit, his soul, was embedded within me, and haunted my conscience, my thoughts, my mind. The spirit of my dead father, or is he really dead at all? His uneven lips pulled into a tight smirk. I shuddered and quickly scrawled the last words onto the leather page. Many of our fears are tissue-paper-thin, and a single courageous step would carry us clear through them, I thought as I jumped into the frigid water. With the knife raised to my neck, the water slowly then abruptly turned dark red…

  • The Cycle Of Life In The Lion King

    832 Words  | 2 Pages

    The cycle of life is a series of changes in a living organism where new organisms will replace the old. This new organism will then go through the same changes as the one before it. The cycle of life theme is incorporated into many stories throughout history, although the exact role the theme plays in each story can vary. One of the ways it can be observed is through the use of concrete examples, such as an individual's birth and death. Abstract examples within stories are another way to communicate the theme of the cycle of life. Abstract examples include such things as the sun rising and setting, thus giving the reader a visual of time lapse. “Lightning Crashes”, “The Lion King”, and “Indian Camp” all share the same theme of the cycle of

    He’s gone now. My attention is diverted to a lonely, deserted road. There’s no sign of life anywhere. It’s pitch dark and I’m walking. I don’t know where I’m going, but I have to get out of this darkness. A cold, unsettling breeze emerges from a warm, summer’s night. I feel chills rising through my spine. “Something’s wrong.” I walk for a considerable amount of time. Finally, out of nowhere I see a speck of light. I get closer. A somber crowd stands in a circle with their heads down, as if at a funeral. Two cars, a red Pontiac Firebird, and a silver Toyota Celica, had lost control and gotten into a terrible collision. They look familiar. I force my way through the spellbound, immobile crowd. My heart beat fastens to a thousand beats per minute. I drop to my knees in hysteria. “Kelvin! Kelvin! Not you too! Please don’t do this to me!” He lays there. Face up towards a glorious sky. There are millions of stars out tonight. But I haven’t noticed them. He just lays there. His hands folded and resting on his thigh, he lays in a pool of blood, on the dry, brown earth. He hasn’t suffered any substantial physical injuries from what I can see. He looks peaceful, so peaceful, in eternal repose. I can still recognize him. He’s 6’1, with a dark, chocolate complexion, an athletic build and a handsome face. He is my brother. Claudia, a close friend of mine, comes up to me in tears. She puts her arms around me and says “I’m so sorry.” She and Kelvin, both proud thrill-seekers were racing. She has survived the collision. My brother is gone.
