A Quiet Place

Cleora Perrik was not a violent person. Strange, and quiet, yes, but not violent. The day the whole student body was summoned to the main building for a meeting, she felt a nauseating pit in her stomach that maintained during the walk to the building. She silently shifted through the crowds of fellow students, slinking through like a shadow, and eventually she was at the front of the crowd and stepping through the doors. What was strange, however, was that the doors were kept opened by themselves and not kept open by teachers. Usually, these doors on the outside of the building were locked from the inside and had to be opened by a teacher to let students in. Also, none of these said teachers were even present.

Is it appropriate to begin a review of John Krasinski's outstanding A Quiet Place by quoting American Idol winner Carrie Underwood's #1 hit single, "Jesus Take The Wheel"? Who cares, I'm doing it anyway: "Jesus, take the wheel/Take this from my hands/'Cause I can't do it on..my...own." Watching this masterful, breathtaking, 90-minute nightmare that Krasinski has created, a horror film we will be praising for a long, long time to come, I may have found a new religion. Clearly some hieroglyphics…

George was a Cornell lacrosse player up until 2004 when he lost his life mid game from a shot that hit him square in the chest. It wasn’t necessarily his statistics that impressed everyone George encountered, but rather his work ethic and the way that he held himself stood out to everyone.

to escape from the buzzing chaos of a large family lifestyle. I take my place as the fifth child of my parents. Being the fifth child also means I am the oldest girl and am in the very middle of nine kids. Business and echoing voices are constant at my house. I never seemed to be at rest when in my own home; there was always someone running around. These circumstances caused me to search for new places of serenity. So, with this in mind, I set out in my maroon Jeep and drove, trying to find a…

years and identify a place and time at which their lives changed significantly. Whether purposely or accidentally, these are the moments that with our comprehension on how time is ongoing and the collaborating events occurring around us, we are forced to retrospect ourselves and the conditions one lives.

because I show these animals. We did not have to show rabbits because the showman that would have been representing the rabbits did not want to participate this year. I learned this after I had already spent hours trying to learn how to show this species. Some of these species were more difficult to learn and control than the others. The dairy cow was difficult for me because you do not get a show stick to use. I had to walk her into how she needed to be set up for the judge. The dairy cow’s…

How humans interact with a place, says more about them than location itself. The idea of place and how people relate to the area around them is an on-going topic of sustainability. This unseen connection is the string interwoven into our daily lives that allows us to feel the desired feelings of being at home, safe, or connected. Many of the books we have read revealed the author's personal connection to place, but I feel as though Red: Passion and Patience in the Desert by Terry Tempest…

Do you love traveling? Do you ever want to travel somewhere and forget about your troubles? A place where nobody knows your name. A destination where you can sit back and relax. Just imagine it.. you visiting the Tower of London one day. Then the next you are soaking your feet in coral gardens at Bora Bora. After that, you are sightseeing at Casa Batllo in Barcelona. I always imagine myself in different places and experiencing the many different cultures and architectures worlds have to offer.…
