My First Car, Patricia
Yes, my first car was and is a 2004 PT Cruiser. Touring Edition, I'm pretty sure. I bought it for $500 in a small town just outside of my already small hometown. For $500 there's got to be a catch, right? Yep! It had rust on the lower sides, a large crack in the windshield, dog hair stuck to the roof of the interior (for good), shitty speakers, no aux, no working AC, missing a few semi-cosmetic parts and it barely ran. Let's not for get, it's a cream-colored PT Cruiser... It was ugly and dysfunctional, and I loved it!

What do you Play?
I'm not one for labels. I've always liked what I've liked, and gone with the flow. But, if someone who calls themselves a gamer asks if I'm a gamer. Of course I'm going to say yes! It's pretty much an invitation to gossip about games with them. But the dreaded question of "What do you play?" gets me every time.

Character Analysis : Beowulf
Character Analysis of Beowulf Literature is a major part of the history of the English language. There are many different writings that philologists and linguists used and still use to decipher the happenings, cultures, values, and systems of the past. Beowulf is a very important Old English Epic which inspired J.R.R. Tolkien in his writing of The Hobbit series. Even though the Epic is traditionally an oral poem with unknown dating of its composition, it does have a written manuscript which was produced prior to 1000AD, and potentially even as early as 700AD. However, the manuscript, as well as the oral poem, was created anonymously and did not have a name, thus it was named after the protagonist of the story. The story is based in Scandinavia where Beowulf, Prince of the Geats, arrives in Heorot to aid Hrothgar, a very respected King of the Danes, in defeating the monster Grendel. Grendel has been terrorizing the Mead Hall, killing soldiers and men, for twelve years. Finally, Beowulf comes to the rescue and kills the monster with his immense brute strength. Afterwards, Grendel’s mother, filled with rage and vengeance, attacks the Mead Hall. Beowulf slays the monster. In his victory, he goes home to Geatland and becomes the King of the Geats. He lives as an honourable and noble King until his death fifty years later. He is forced in is old age to defeat a dragon and dies on the battlefield. The Geats cremate his body and build a tower in his honor. In this story, there are a few important characters, but compared to Beowulf himself, they are very minor rolls. Hrothgar and Grendel would come in as distant seconds. Accordingly, Beowulf’s character is very well developed and represented with the author’s use of appropriately integrated direct characterization, Beowulf’s relationships and interactions with other characters, and the author’s meaningful uses of language, specifically during his fight scenes.

The Lonesome Ocean
WARNING: Gore I stare up at him in awe while but inches beneath the water, his image is disfigured by the waves and ripples, but in my mind, I can picture his beauty. I see his curly brown hair soaking up the ocean spray and his gloomy brown eyes sparkling in the sunlight. Captain of a crew he is; Captain of a ship. He is a sailor, and a good one, but while his dark and weary vessel sails calmly among the waters toward our island, he is ignorant to the treachery that lies ahead.
