The Elephant Girly-face

  • There once was a king who had an elephant named Girly-face because he was so gentle and kind
  • However, one day, some robbers came by and basically taught Girly-face how to act by the way they were talking
  • They said "Once inside the house kill any one who wakens. A robber must not be afraid to kill. A robber must be cruel and have no pity. He must never be good, even for a moment."
  • After hearing this, Girly-face started to act out and killed everyone which caused him to be ugly
  • The king heard about his wrong-doings and sent one of his wise men to find out what was happening
  • The wise man came to the conclusion that Girly-face heard some bad men talking; therefore, a solution to this problem is to get good men talking
  • After Girly-face heard good men talking about how it is wrong to hurt any one, he started being gentle and good again

Personal picture of this view in Baltimore; photo from May 2019. School is in session again and I am glad to be back, but at the same time, I am not. I'm missing summer a little extra this year because I had so much free time to travel and see people I couldn't see during the school year. This summer, I traveled to Baltimore for a convention with my sorority, took numerous trips to different parts of Tex...

Dooms Day. Source: Pixabay In the year 2009, the movie 2012 was released, which brought on skepticism due to the story it told. People debated on whether they should go see it or not because the storyline did not seem believable in any way. Eventually, one person decided to see what it is all about and watched the movie. In this moment, she fell right into the movies trap. After watching 2012, she panicked and feared for the worlds future. She had no idea what to do but to tell all of her friends about the movie and how she learned that the world is going to end on December 21, 2012. Her friends felt like she was making this up; however, they still gave her the benefit of the doubt. They watched the movie one after another and fell right into the same trap she did. Again, her friends panicked and told their own friends about how the world is going to end in 2012. Again, their friends did not believe them but they decided to watch the movie to see what it is all about. Words kept ...
