Ethereal Symphony
In this captivating artwork, luminous strokes dance gracefully, forming a breathtaking play of light. Yet, while composition echoes brilliance, an opportunity for deeper narrative connection arises. By intertwining thematic elements, this symphony could evoke profound emotions, ensuring lasting resonance in the observer's heart.

Social Media's Double-Edged Sword: Fueling Civic Engagement or Igniting Polarization in Democracy?"
In the modern digital landscape, the convergence of social media and democracy has emerged as a focal point laden with both potential and skepticism. Within this realm, the allure of boundless connectivity and unparalleled access to information has positioned social media platforms as conduits for personal connections, catalysts for grassroots movements, and catalysts for heightened civic involvement. However, this transformation is not without its detractors, who argue that these platforms bear responsibility for exacerbating societal divisions and fostering the creation of echo chambers.

A Wrinkle in Time
Meg and Charles Murry’s father goes missing and they bring their friend Calvin O’Keefe to another world to fight a monster called the thing. It was nominated and won several well deserved awards. It is a great book, well written and I recommend that you read it. A great work!

The Fighter
His eyes opened in startling fashion as the alarm clock blared on his nightstand. What should have been a wakeup call sounded more like the somber ringing of church bells. He blinked slowly, staring up at the ceiling lethargically, and for a fleeting moment he felt nothing. His hand reached haphazardly to his alarm, where, finally reaching it, the sound ceased, and he was left in total silence. He propped himself up and sat at the edge of the bed. His long legs stretched to the floor where his feet lay firmly on the ground.

"Unveiling the Truth: Is the Education System a Beacon of Enlightenment or a Tool for Political Agenda?"
The education system stands as a foundational element within societies, holding the enticing potential to lead us toward understanding and advancement. Yet, behind its noble appearance, a complex dynamic comes into view – a push and pull between its role in nurturing young minds with knowledge, analytical thinking, and values, and the lurking possibility of manipulation for political motives. This intricate interplay sparks a pivotal question: Can education be a radiant force, empowering individuals to shape a brighter future, or does it possess the capacity to be wielded subtly, perpetuating existing power structures?

The Big Short
An absolute rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish; dread, hopelessness, defeat, excitement, hope ironically enough. The Big Short has it all. A fantastic, hilarious, tragic film that's able to simplify complex wall street vocabulary, into an easily digestible and understandable message about greed and corruption. Please, watch this film.

Wizard's Ball Game
This is Wizard's Ball (actually that's a terrible name somebody please give me some ideas for something not as laughable), the game of high speed, flying action as two teams of 6 go head to head in the air attempting to score 21 points and the match isn't over until they do!

The Giver by Lois Lowry

Charlatan
When they get online, they look to see what they can find. Was their creativity ever there? Is it in decline? Writing isn’t hard. It comes with ease. It takes no more effort than to blow a breeze. Now we question all you’ve created. Was it yours, or just imitated?

Copycat
Dear Copycat, Thank you for the compliment. I really needed that. But could you try something on your own? It’s Wilde to see my work imitated. I’m not the greatest. But I really hate this when I see it. Please be more creative.

Divergent Movie
Divergent movie was poorly executed but I have to say intrigued me. While author Veronica Roth did not mean Divergent to be about the politically correct term Neurodivergent referring to a mind with autism like traits, it accurately depicts how society punishes people who do not think the same.
