Ever since she had started developing a plan, it was undeniable to admit that the time Vladislava had been spending around her family had been lessening at a rapid pace. No doubt this was due to the remorse that she had felt in not telling them everything. Eventually, she felt her morality. She even found her morality started to yearn, wanting her to tell someone, but she hadn’t, due to the fear of the familial and political implication it could have. Though she knew her heart was definitely in the right place, in wanting the best for the Alkaev’s — how could they ever know the same?

She needed to take a risk, and so she had sent for Roland Laurent. Admittedly, she didn’t exactly trust him, but his proved loyalty towards her family had caused her to at least begin to try. Besides, trusting Roland Laurent was an excellent place to start if she were ever to gain a bigger crown, she needed to trust people — that easier said than done for her, though. Subconsciously, she also hoped that the knight would also be a good reminder of her home, who and why she was doing all of this for. At the same time, she just hoped that he wouldn’t make her miss Nymarra too much. It was only when she started to hear movement outside of her chamber’s door did she realise that she had been far too deep into her thoughts. As she sighed to herself, still looking out one of the one window’s of her chamber; it had always been a problem for her it seemed, getting this deep into thought and forgetting her
The adoption of Eastern Orthodoxy by the Slavs marked a new era for the culture of Russia. In the Primary Chronicle we come across many tales that illustrate the transformation from staunch paganism to strict Orthodox Christianity that was adopted by the state. The tale “Vladimir Christianizes Russia” is one such story that glorifies Vladimir’s great triumph in choosing Eastern Orthodoxy and delivering the Slavs to salvation. Through justifying the adoption of Christianity, emphasizing the importance of aestheticism in ceremony, and illustrating the overwhelming Slavic transition from paganism to Christianity we are able to glean the importance of Vladimir’s success in transitioning the Slavs to Eastern Orthodoxy.

For my senior project I am making a biography photo album of the faculty, administration, and staff members at the Austin Area High School. I decided to my project on this simply because I thought it would something interesting to do and have fun with. It is an easy way to learn a few interesting things about the people at my school. A lot of people this year are building things to benefit the community or our school, so I decided to something a little different. I came up with this idea when I realized there wasn’t really anything in our school with information on our faculty members, administration and staff members. They know a lot about us, so I figured it would be nice to put something together about them.

The cabin is very still save for her rocking and the flickering red flame in the fireplace. I pluck a leather-bound book from the wooden shelf and sit at my desk. The white square of window fades to black. She stays there nonetheless—rocking, rocking, eyes fixed on something somewhere in the impenetrable darkness. I light my oil lamp, layering shadows across the walls. I pull out a well of ink and my quill pen.

The message that this quote is sending is alluded to in the book One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. This book follows Ivan Denisovich, or commonly referred to as Shukhov, through a normal day in a Soviet prison camp called

She had fallen asleep for no more than three hours, she couldn’t sleep no matter how exhausted her body was, her mind would just not settle. She couldn’t understand why. Nerves maybe? Excitement?
