Vignette #1: The Blood Brothers

Parker is the friendliest person you know. He starts off slow with others, but once you get to know each other, you feel like he is your long lost brother. Parker and I are basically Thing 1 and Thing 2. Brothers some people might add. We’re always there for each other no matter what the situation is. From picking each other up after a fight to picking each other up from on the turf of a football field. No one can get in the way of us and no one ever will. Parker and I are brothers. Some people might say we are just really good friends, but they are very wrong.
Parker met me in the 7th grade. Instantly when we looked at each other I felt some sort of a connection. I felt the force within the both of us circling around us, showing me and him that the brothers have been reunited. We are the two souls that have been resurrected from the ground. I was lucky to be introduced to Parker, by my guidance counselor whom thought I was a great guy to get to know new kids. We started to talk a bit and hang out a bit. After a few days of chilling with him, I was for sure that we had the same blood in us. He had become my brother and my best friend. We had some fights, but we always got over it within an hour or two. We have the same exact personality. We do the same things. We pick each other up after the hardest moments of our lives. I put my hand on his shoulder one day when he was crying about something personal, I stood there and whispered, “Everything will be okay, you have nothing to worry about, just keep following your dreams and you will find happiness.” I will never regret the day I met Parker. For he is my brother.

...t that the whole world might talk about, but I got the upper hand on them. Sure they can throw or kick a ball, but I can lift more than they can throw. No matter how many records are broken or how much achievements are made I will always have that upper hand. Everybody wants to be on the top. They want to star on television, interviews, and award shows, something that will make them famous. I will admit I want to be like that too, but I won’t be greedy about it.
I don’t want to be a soul that does not reach the high grounds. I want to be a soul that reaches the top of the gates in heaven. I want to be in paradise and that is the gym. The place where all the magic starts is the place where dreams can begin. I will start my journey from there and work through all the hardships that are coming my way. Pride will always go before a fall because I will never fall.

    The Odyssey and O Brother Where Art Thou are considered a representation of each other in some ways and prove more similar than it is commonly thought. Although the overall persona of each portrayal is quite different, it still illustrates the same message. A good lesson to be learned from this comparison is to contemplate your actions to prevent bleak situations from occurring. The characters in these tales had to understand the consequences by experiencing it themselves. Acknowledging the time period that these voyages took place in, they didn't have anybody to teach them proper ways to go about situations.

    The Crucible was the turning point in literature and in history. It showed how people were convicted with only a minute amount of evidence. The only thing that would have caused a person to be convicted was if people went into hysterics. However, for someone to be accused of using witchcraft, someone else has to say he or she had seen them practicing it or they were the only person who could see it. The trials caused some of the characters to learn new attributes about themselves. Elizabeth Proctor is more reserved. John Proctor, on the other hand, is more prideful; whereas, Reverend Hale is more confident. These three characters go through their own personal journeys and uncover the person within them beneath the surface, which in turn broadcasts their true identity to the audience.

    There might be similarities and differences in our relationship, but we are bound together love and experiences. In my personal situation, the similarities and differences are profoundly evident, which is the primary reason for me to analyze it. I often take having a brother for a best friend for granted, and do not appreciate how lucky I am to have a brother like Gabe. By digging into the depths of how conflict is present between us and how we deal with conflict, understanding how perception is so important in a virtual world, and the positives and negatives of how we verbally and nonverbally communicate, I realized just how much my relationship with my brother has shaped me into the person I am today. This analysis has also shown me how to strengthen my relationship with my brother in areas that need maintenance. All of these concepts I have gone over are extremely beneficially in understanding of some of the vague aspects of my brother-brother
